Welcome to a new year in 2021 and we look forward to seeing you next Saturday 6th February for the Blessing of the Backpacks.

Children bring along their backpack, parents bring your work bag/laptop bag/handbag for a blessing and to prepare for a new year. If you can bring along items to be donated to the Samaritans we will gratefully receive those to be blessed and given to families who aren’t able to afford their own supplies.

As always, please register the number of children and adults attending via this link (you can also do this at the door). To keep updated with family ministry events and news, please like our facebook page 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/ChristChurchCathedralFamilies/

If it’s your first time to come along, don’t be shy! We’re a friendly bunch and are always happy to see new families. Have a restful weekend and look forward to seeing you next Saturday.

Peace and every blessing,

Veronica Butcher

We may explore spirituality alone, from books, in crowds, on a mountain top, in silence, in worship…. And in 2021 we continue our voyage on zoom!

The Spirituality Group begins at 4.00pm with teaching about & meditation experience for 20 minutes. The session & study will continue at 4.30 – feel welcome to join ready for the 4pm or the session at 4.30. On 16th Feb (Shrove Tuesday) we will begin a Lenten journey using material from the Canberra/Goulbourn Diocese. Over the time we’ll dip into meditation, prayer and other creative practices.

Bring an open and inquiring approach!

If zoom is new to you, or you have queries please be in touch.
I WILL need your email to both send you the material and to arrange for the zoom invitation details to be forwarded for you.
