Weekly Floral decorations for our Cathedral

For many years we have been privileged and blessed with a weekly supply of floral decorations for the Cathedral, supplied free of cost by Singapore Flowers.  We are extremely grateful for their generosity.

However, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond their control, they are no longer able to assist us in this way.  We therefore invite you, our worshippers and brothers and sisters in Christ, to help by providing flowers to enhance our worship. 

It is suggested that you may wish to commemorate a birthday, anniversary or memorial in this way, by either providing arrangements yourself or by paying for the cost of the weekly decorations.

Please contact Elizabeth in the Cathedral office for details

Confirmation

The confirmation preparation group meets every Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the Coffee Room. Just to remind you that Bishop Clive will be with us from 8th – 15th June during which he will confirm our candidates at the 6pm service on Sunday 13th June. Please pray for all those who are preparing for confirmation.

E
veryday Thanksgiving

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, thank You Lord, I can hear. 
There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank You Lord, I can see.  Many are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, thank You Lord, I have the strength to rise.  There are many who are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short and my children are so loud, thank You Lord, for my family.  There are many who are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalances, thank You Lord, for the food we have.
