GOING FORWARD WITH YOU AGAIN SOON

Forward Day by Day is a booklet of daily inspirational meditations reflecting on a specific Bible passage, chosen from the daily lectionary readings as listed in the Revised Common Lectionary. The meditations offer a wide range of witness and experiences and each month’s meditation is written by a different author. The May/June/July edition has proven extremely popular, and the imminent, next quarterly edition is eagerly anticipated. The pocket-sized booklet will be available from the literature table for $5.00 (simply place your payment in the donation box).

Christian Meditation Group

Meditation on Tuesdays is held in the Lady (North) Chapel when the cathedral is available, or in St Martin’s House.

Tuesdays at 6.45pm

Come at 6.45pm for meditation or come earlier, bring food and share a meal with the group who gather anytime from 5.30pm in the kitchen of St Martin’s House. Please come to the Darnell Room corner entrance and press the passageway buzzer. New members are always most welcome. For more information about Christian meditation please go to http://wccm.org or contact Sue Wilton via the Cathedral Office. May the silence of this place be a power to open the hearts of men and women to the vision of God, and so to each other, in love and peace, justice and human dignity. ~ From the prayer of the World Community for Christian Meditation

EARN & LEARN

For the past few years, the Cathedral community has collected the Woolworths Earn & Learn stickers, which are passed on to Brisbane Central State School. BCSS Business Manager Carolina Duncan:

Until Tuesday 19th September

“In previous years you have granted our small State School permission to place a Woolworths Earn and Learn collection box in the Cathedral. Your staff advertised this information to your parishioners and they in turn gratefully placed stickers into this box enabling our school to collect over $2,000 worth of equipment. We are again seeking your permission for this box to be placed into your church.”

The collection period is from 26th July to 19th September 2017. The collection box is located near the literature table. How many stickers we can contribute this year?
