This week’s News from Liverpool Cathedral – a Place of Encounter
Read the latest news from Liverpool Cathedral for Sunday, 24 January 2021.
Welcome from Dean Sue
Welcome to Liverpool Cathedral e-news. As we continue to journey through Epiphany we are encouraged today in our Exploring the Sunday Gospel Material (https://www.prayerforliverpool.org/uploads/1/3/1/2/131286347/_b__9_the_third_sunday_of_epiphany_v2_yp.pdf) to think about wine. I am sure that has brought a smile to your face and at this time we all need a bit of a boost and or a smile.
There are many different events happening on line and I hope they will give you a boost or a smile. It was good to meet some of you at our first Zoom coffee last Sunday. Please do join again this Sunday.
On Sunday afternoon, there is the two Cathedrals service of Prayer for Christian Unity. The guest preacher is our Canon Theologian and the choirs from the two Cathedrals will be participating. So please do go to our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LiverpoolCathedral) or Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/LiverpoolCathedral) at 3pm for this service.
On February 7 at 3pm we will be live-streaming the Collation and Installation of the new Canon Precentor, the Revd Dr Philip Anderson. The Bishop will be present for that service so please do go to our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LiverpoolCathedral) for this at 3pm on 7 February. This is not a public act of worship with a congregation, but our usual Sunday afternoon live streamed service. Philip will be presiding and preaching on February 14 at the 10.30 pre-recorded service. Please pray for Philip as he moves this coming week and as he prepares for his ministry among us.
