The new Bibles presented for use in church are from Today’s New International Version: if reading in church you may like to have your own copy with which to practise. While on line you can find the passage using the following link: Bible Gateway from TNIV

If reading in church please use the Lectern Bible and before announcing the book and verse, invite the congregation to loom up the page number, as follows:
Our First/Second Reading today is found on page XXX of your pew Bibles. [pause]
A reading from ______ chapter ______ reading from verse ____

Well done. TNIV Versions may now be ordered from the church office for personal use.

Continuing and developing the tradition of regular services of evensong, the cathedral will be the venue for worship on Sunday 13th January 2008 at 6 pm. With music provided by the choir accompanied by cathedral organist David Falconer, visitors are more than welcome to attend. Hearing in the reading how the trumpets of Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho, we hope our music has a slightly less dramatic but nonetheless God honouring impact this Sunday night.

Celebrate at Ten or CIAO, as it is affectionately known, is a specially designed alternative to the more traditional services usually associated with the Church of Ireland. We aim to create an environment that is fun, relaxed, fast moving, challenging and that appeals to all ages.

The service incorporates contemporary worship music and the occasional traditional hymn, puppet drama, intercessory prayer and prayer ministry, teaching and any other thing that we feel might get across the message that God loves people and that church can be both fun and relevant to our 21 Century world.

If you like your services interactive, unconventional, unpredictable or just plain random then Ciao might just be the right fit for you. You will be made very welcome!

When? Sunday 10am Weekly
