Dear Cathedralites

What a wonderful clergy conference at Lake Rotoiti last week. Our Bishop Richard got a standing ovation at the end having delivered 3 fine Bible studies on Philippians. David Moxon, Archbishop, also entertained us with some Pope jokes as he spent 5 years living in Rome, whereas Wes and Janet Chambers from Christchurch also powerful speakers. The morale amongst clergy in the Nelson diocese is very high.

Patsy and I raced down to Christchurch last Thursday for a funeral. John Kitto was one of my administrators at St. Christophers for a number of years. A wonderful man who will be missed by the church. I’m of heavy heart as I head to take part in John’s funeral as some of his own kith and kin will not be attending but partially they are boycotting coming to the funeral. To experience that hurts from our families but it is vital in my estimation that at whanau occasions like weddings and funerals we put all of this aside and come together as one even if it’s just for 2 hours and nothing deep is resolved. Things can only get worse and deteriorate when family members refuse to attend such momentous events. I urge you not to fall into that trap even if you might feel like it as a protest against things past.

Congratulations to Ren Kempthorne, John Gill and Dennis Mellsop on their recent birthday’s , and also thanks for the special slap up morning tea and celebration.

At the 5.30pm and 7pm services the Revd. Jeff Odhiambo, who hails from Kenya, is married to an American, and who now ministers at Victory church will be preaching. Don’t miss him.

Council meeting occurs on this Tuesday. Pray for council as they consider the budget for 2019.

Don’t forget to invite people to CAMEO, Come And Meet Each Other. Our first lunch will be on Friday November 2nd. I am looking for folk who can just pick up their neighbours down the street and bring them. We at the cathedral are hosting a prayer meeting for the World Week of Peace. Our turn is this Wednesday 17 October at 6.30pm. We will meet in the Chapel. Please come and join us. We meet with fellow clergy on Thursday morning as we get together for worship, for prayer and for sharing.

It’s a big week next Sunday as it is Trafalgar Day & Sea Sunday and we are going to have a grand service here in the Cathedral. There will be special guests, music and a lot of fanfare. Steve is orchestrating this service and Revd. Nigel will be preaching.

CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL NELSON SUNDAY BULLETIN – Suffrage Sunday

14th October - 20th Sunday after Trinity

SERVICE INFORMATION

Those receiving Holy Communion are invited to do so EITHER by intinction, i.e. retaining the wafer when it is given to you and then dipping it in the cup of wine before consuming it OR by consuming the wafer when it is given to you and then drinking from the common cup.

Grape juice is available at communion.

Gluten free wafers are available.

Hearing Aid Loop available - please turn to the T position on your hearing aid ALSO

Ramp for access to the Sanctuary (on the right side)

Special chairs are available from the Pulpit side for those with disabilities or back problems. Note that the leg height can be adjusted to suit.

HEALTH ADVISORY NOTICE

Worshippers experiencing Cold or Influenza-like illnesses or associated symptoms are advised to refrain from partaking of the practice of “Intinction” with the wafer or using the “Common Cup” during the communion ceremony.

At the Clergy Conference Steve from Masterton Tinua spoke about the problems of suicide in the rural sector while Gaelynne Pound is a well known drama and music teacher here in Nelson. She usually puts on a concert from her students here at the cathedral at midday on Saturday October 27th. Any proceeds are going to Youth Mental Health Organisation aimed at addressing the problem of youth suicide in New Zealand.

After the concert from 1.30pm to 3 pm we are having a soul to soul gathering where folk of all different religions meet together. We’ve never met at the Cathedral so it’s our turn this month, at the Cathedral from 1.30 to 3 pm on Saturday October 27th. It is great to meet various folk from other religions who live in Nelson and to hear their stories. Like coming to hear the cathedral story.

Have a great week. In His service, Mike

The Sentence and Collects for the day Sentence: “Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any

two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

Collect: Almighty God, your word is a lamp for our feet and a light upon our

path; Grant that by patient study of the Scriptures we may follow more closely the way that you set before us; though Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and for ever. Amen.

Job 23:1-7

1 Then Job answered: 2 ‘Today also

my complaint is bitter; his hand is

heavy despite my groaning. 3 O that I

knew where I might find him, that I

might come even to his dwelling! 4 I

would lay my case before him, and fill

my mouth with arguments. 5 I would

learn what he would answer me, and

understand what he would say to me. 6 Would he contend with me in the

greatness of his power? No; but he

would give heed to me. 7 There an

upright person could reason with him,

and I should be acquitted for ever by

my judge.

Hebrews 4:12-13 12 Indeed, the word of God is living and

active, sharper than any two-edged

sword, piercing until it divides soul

from spirit, joints from marrow; it is

able to judge the thoughts and

intentions of the heart. 13 And before

him no creature is hidden, but all are

naked and laid bare to the eyes of the

one to whom we must render an

account.

Mark 10:17-31

17 As he was setting out on a journey,

a man ran up and knelt before him,

and asked him, ‘Good Teacher, what

must I do to inherit eternal life?’ 18 Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call

me good? No one is good but

God alone. 19 You know the

commandments: “You shall not

murder; You shall not commit

adultery; You shall not steal; You shall

not bear false witness; You shall not

defraud; Honour your father and

mother.”’ 20 He said to him, ‘Teacher, I

have kept all these since my

youth.’ 21 Jesus, looking at him, loved

him and said, ‘You lack one thing; go,

sell what you own, and give the money

to the poor, and you will have treasure

in heaven; then come, follow

me.’ 22 When he heard this, he was

shocked and went away grieving, for

he had many possessions. 23 Then

Jesus looked around and said to his

disciples, ‘How hard it will be for those

who have wealth to enter the kingdom

of God!’ 24 And the disciples were

perplexed at these words. But Jesus

said to them again, ‘Children, how

hard it is to enter the kingdom of

God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go

through the eye of a needle than for

someone who is rich to enter the

kingdom of God.’ 26 They were

greatly astounded and said to one

another, ‘Then who can

be saved?’ 27 Jesus looked at them

and said, ‘For mortals it is impossible,

but not for God; for God all things are

possible.’ 28 Peter began to say to him,

‘Look, we have left everything and

followed you.’ 29 Jesus said, ‘Truly I

tell you, there is no one who has left

house or brothers or sisters or mother

or father or children or fields, for my 4

sake and for the sake of the good

news, 30 who will not receive a

hundredfold now in this age—houses,

brothers and sisters, mothers and

children, and fields, with

persecutions—and in the age to come

eternal life. 31 But many who are first

will be last, and the last will be first.’

Amos 5:6-7

6 Seek the LORD and live, or he will

break out against the house of Joseph

like fire, and it will devour Bethel, with

no one to quench it. 7 Ah, you that turn

justice to wormwood, and bring

righteousness to the ground!

13 ‘Enter through the narrow gate; for

the gate is wide and the road is easy

that leads to destruction, and there

are many who take it. 14 For the gate is

narrow and the road is hard that leads

to life, and there are few who find

it.15 ‘Beware of false prophets, who

come to you in sheep’s clothing but

inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You

will know them by their fruits. Are

grapes gathered from thorns, or figs

from thistles? 17 In the same way,

every good tree bears good fruit, but

the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good

tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a

bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree

that does not bear good fruit is cut

down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus

you will know them by their fruits. 21 ‘Not everyone who says to me,

“Lord, Lord”, will enter the

kingdom of heaven, but only one who

does the will of my Father in

heaven. 22 On that day many will say

to me, “Lord, Lord, did we not

prophesy in your name, and cast out

demons in your name, and do many

deeds of power in your

name?” 23 Then I will declare to them,

“I never knew you; go away from me,

you evildoers.”

7pm Hymn : It’s your blood

5

7pm Reading - Matthew 7:13-23

It’s Your blood that cleanses me, It’s Your blood that gives me life. It’s Your blood that took my place in redeeming sacrifice; Washes me whiter than the snow (than the snow) My Jesus, God’s precious sacrifice, It’s your blood.

TRAFALGAR DAY &

SEA SUNDAY COMBINED

SERVICES

Given that Trafalgar Day falls on a Sunday this year, we have decided to combine it with Sea Sunday.

It will be a fantastic service to celebrate all things maritime, and the hero for whom our city was named. We have even found a naval helicopter pilot to preach! We will be welcoming VIPs from politics, the Navy and Merchant Navy, fishing and port, and our music will be provided by internationally renowned organist Dr Kemp English.

There will be all sorts of surprises on the day, so do come along and celebrate this important milestone for our city.

Blessings, Steve

Heavenly Father, we lift up to You all those Nigerian Christians – men, women and children – currently in the hands of the Boko Haram Islamist militants who kidnapped them. We pray that the You will remain their refuge and fortress and their trust in You will not falter despite all efforts to make them deny their love for Your Son. By Your

grace, we ask that the chains binding up their minds will fall away and they will be strengthened in their Christian faith moment by moment of their long ordeal. We ask in Jesus’ Name that they will soon be released back to their families. (Psalm 91:1-2; Acts 12:7) In Jesus’ name, Amen.
