Mark 8.31-38
Jesus rejects the temptations of the
devil and as a righteous man is
immune from the attacks of wild
beasts. He is fed by angels and is
victorious over the powers of evil. So,
confirmed as God’s Son in baptism
and strengthened in resolve, Jesus
begins his ministry in Galilee with
clear purpose.

Prayer of the Day
God of the new and eternal covenant,
as the forty days of the great flood
swept away the world’s corruption
and watered new beginnings of righteousness and life:
grant to us, who are washed clean and born again
in the saving flood of baptism, the wellspring of your grace,
that your gift of new life may flourish once again;
through Jesus Christ our Redeemer,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns
22nd February 2015
Entrance Hymn
Father, hear the prayer we offer:
Not for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
Not for ever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be;
But the steep and rugged pathway
May we tread rejoicingly.
Not for ever by still waters
Would we idly rest and stay;
But would smite the living fountains
From the rock along our way.
Be our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wanderings be our guide;
Through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be thou by our side.
Love Maria Willis (1824-1908)

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns
22nd February 2015
Gradual Hymn
Offertory Hymn:
Forty days and forty nights
You were fasting in the wild,
Forty days and forty nights
Tempted, and yet undefiled:
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy refuge fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high;
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide,
O receive my soul at last.
Let us your endurance share
And from earthly greed abstain,
With you watching unto prayer,
With you strong to suffer pain.
And if Satan on us press
Flesh or spirit to assail,
Victor in the wilderness,
Grant we may not faint or fail.
Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
Ever constant by your side,
That with you we may appear
At the eternal Eastertide.
George Hunt Smyttan (1822-1870) and
Francis Pott (1832-1909) alt.
TIS 591
TUNE: Heinlein
Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on thee;
Leave, ah! leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me:
All my trust on thee is stayed,
All my help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
Thou, O Christ, art all I want,
More than all in thee I find,
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
False and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.
Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep me pure within:
Thou of life the fountain art,
Freely let me take of thee,
Spring thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.
Charles Wesley (1707-1788) alt.

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns
22nd February 2015
Final Hymn:
Christ is the world’s redeemer,
The lover of the pure,
The fount of heavenly wisdom,
Our trust and hope secure,
The armour of his soldiers,
The lord of earth and sky,
Our health while we are living,
Our life when we shall die.
Christ has our host surrounded
With clouds of martyrs bright
Who wave their palms in triumph
And fire us for the fight.
For Christ the cross ascended
To save a world undone,
And suffering for the sinful
Our full redemption won.
Down in the realm of darkness
He lay a captive bound,
But at the hour appointed
He rose a victor crowned,
And now, to heaven ascended,
He sits upon the throne
In glorious dominion,
His Father’s and his own.
St Columba (521-597) tr. Duncan Macgregor (1854-1923) alt.

Outreach Poster February 2015
Whether it’s sporting glory, money, marriage, holidays, a
successful career, a nice home or even just good health, we
all thirst for something. But have you ever stopped to think
if you can be truly satisfied in life? Or will you spend the rest
of your years chasing happiness? In a restless world, only
God can satisfy. He promises security and long-lasting
happiness. He acts for your goodness and quenches your thirsts. So, why not get a Bible and
start reading about this astounding good news?

Small Groups 2015
There are a number of groups in the parish which are up and running again this
year. Being part of a small group provides the opportunity:
to explore the Bible in more detail, asking questions and applying it to life,
to get to know one another better, praying for and supporting one another.
If you are not already a member of a group, please consider it. Groups include:
Mon: 3.00pm (at Baileys); 4:00pm (Men’s Bible Study in hall kitchen, see Doug)
Tues: 7:30pm (at Gardner’s)
Wed: 10.00am (at Nightingales)
Thurs: KYB (Women’s Bible Study, Pat Brown); 7:30pm at the Rectory
Lent Studies: Lent is traditionally a time to reflect on the life,
death, and resurrection of Christ and on our lives as followers of
Christ. During Lent many of the groups, and individuals, follow a
set of studies which the sermon series will also follow, written by
Lutheran Pastor Greg Weyrauch.
The devotional guide includes forty-six meditations based on a
passage from Mark's Gospel with reflection questions and a
prayer for individual reading and meditation each day between
Ash Wednesday and Easter.
It also includes a weekly study guide for six weeks of small
group meetings and discussion. See Vanessa for a copy.

Mind out!
MINISTRY OF HOSPITALITY
We are looking for people interested in
joining the hospitality ministry as
Cathedral minders. It is not an onerous task,
shifts are only 3 hours. It is a great shame
not to have our beautiful Cathedral open for
visitors as often as we can. If you are
interested, contact the office (4821 2206) or
Fred Rainger (4821 5725)
In St. Saviour’s we have The Lady
Chapel. It is an ancient tradition to have
such a chapel in churches. In this chapel
we remember Mary and we are also able
to think about our mothers.
March Garage Sale - Cathedral Hall
will be held on Saturday March 7th
from 9am - 2pm. There will be lots of
books on the Cathedral table, come and
stock up on your reading. Donations of
cooking for the Cathedral table would be
most welcome.
Messy Church Friday February 27th has
been CANCELLED. Next meeting Friday
13 March @ 4.30-6.30pm in the Mary
Thomas Room. Children 3-12 years with
parents or guardians are welcome.
Our Mission programme for 2015:
1st quarter: Diocese of Willochra
2nd quarter: Melanesian Brothers
(an ABM project)
3rd quarter: Anglicare Winter Appeal
4th quarter: Al Ahli Anglican Hospital
Behind the altar in the chapel is a
weaving of Mary and her child Jesus. It
was a gift of the Friends of the Cathedral.
It is a very nice art work and people who
know about these things say it is of a high
quality. It certainly adds to the ambience
of the chapel.
The weaving also serves another purpose.
It disguises a plumber’s drain that was
left after the bell tower was added to the
Cathedral!
Finding it difficult to
read the hymns and
announcements?
Ask the sides person on duty for a
large print copy of the
pew sheet.
