Why not join us on Sunday as we welcome the Palmerston City Band to help us celebrate Pentecost. The band will accompany our singing and provide music while we gather before and after the 9.00am service.
This Sunday is also Nicole’s last Sunday with us before she moves, with her family, to Queensland and we’ll make an opportunity to say ‘Goodbye’ and send her off with our prayers and blessings.

A reflection from James Rowe Adams at his blog Better than Believing :
When skeptical people take an interest in church, they often have found themselves not only longing for God but also wanting to find a way that they can talk about God without jeopardizing their integrity. When such people try out a progressive church, they may be a little puzzled by the fact that church members do not talk much about what they believe concerning God. The question of believing does not seem to interest them very much. A visitor my need a time of careful listening to discover what different sorts of Christians mean when they speak of God.
The stories of Jesus’ death in the gospels invite us to reflect on the meaning of suffering and death in our world. We are confronted with our own suffering and struggles and others; we are constantly reminded of the suffering in our world, the disasters and disease encountered by others. The Gospels of Mark and Luke invite us to encounter the face of God revealed to us in the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection and how that face shines upon us.”
Join us 9.30am-4.30pm this Saturday (May 1) as Michael Trainor, senior lecturer in theology from Flinders University, leads the next in the series of Seminars at Christ Church Cathedral – The Face of God in Jesus: A Fresh Look at the Passion Narratives in Luke and Mark.
Cost: $50/$35, includes morning and afternoon tea. BYO Lunch.
