Welcome
A warm welcome to all members and visitors to
our Services today.
Children
Each Service has special provisions for families
with young children. Please inquire with the
ushers.
Holy Communion
We welcome all confirmed members of
the Anglican Church and visitors who are
communicant members of other churches to
share in the Holy Communion with us. Our
practice is to have the Holy Communion by
intinction (dipping of the wafer into the wine).
If you are not partaking of the Communion,
you are welcome to come forward to receive
a prayer of blessing. Please keep your hands
clasped to indicate that you are not receiving
the Communion.
Car Parking
As there are limited parking lots within
St Andrews Cathedral, members may wish
to park at carparks in close proximity to the
Cathedral. Visitors who worship with us and
park their cars in the Cathedral can collect a
free pass from the Information Desk or from the
Welcome Centre.

mission stations, with a view to determining
Gods call on their lives to be professionally
engaged in Christian ministry and missions.
COME supervises 3 categories of internships:
SERVE interns refer to youths awaiting

internship is for 2 to 6 months.
TRIBUTE interns are young people who have
completed their education and who wish to
spend a gap year in missions.

WORLD
September 11
Memories of the September 11, 2001 still linger
on The attacks by the Islamic terrorists that
killed 2,996 people and injured over 6,000
others. We commend the families of the victims
and those injured to God for His loving peace
and comfort to reign in their lives. Lord, in your
mercy, hear our prayer.
Indonesia
In the middle of a church service on Sunday
(28 Aug) in Medan, Sumatra, a Muslim man
attempted to detonate a suicide bomb but
when this failed he attacked the pastor leading
the service with an axe. The pastor escaped
with minor injuries when the attacker, who was
carrying a drawing of the Islamic State (IS) flag,
was restrained by the congregation.
(Source: Barnabas Fund Online, dated 02 Sep
2016)
May the following words of Jesus be the living
hope for all men throughout the world: The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I came that they may have life and have it
abundantly (John 10:10, ESV).
