we celebrate the promiseof your servant's offering,here ordained to
lead God's peopleat the Gospel's beckoning.

life;in our time of doubt and challenge,may its truth affirm
belief;and in days of pain and darkness,may it heal our guilt and
grief.

extend,grow within your chosen servants,life of God that has no
end!

Sentence of the Day:
You O Lord are in your holy temple; let all the earth keep
silence before you.
Habakkuk 2: 20
The Collect for the Day:
God our shield and our rampart,
it is your strength, not the size of our faith
that supports us in all life’s difficulties;
may we be content to simply serve,
and, when our labours are done,
all gather as equals around your table;
with Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
who is alive with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
The First Reading: Habakkuk 1: 1-4; 2: 1-4
The oracle that the prophet Habakkuk saw.
O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will
not listen?Or cry to you ‘Violence!’ and you will not save?Why do
you make me see wrongdoing and look at trouble?Destruction and
violence are before me; strife and contention arise.So the law
becomes slack and justice never prevails.The wicked surround the
righteous—therefore judgement comes forth perverted.
I will stand at my watch-post, and station myself on the
rampart;I will keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what
he will answer concerning my complaint.Then
the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,so that a runner may read it.For there is
still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and
does not lie.If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely
come, it will not delay.Look at the proud!Their spirit is not
right in them, but the righteous live by their faith.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. Thanks be to
God
Psalm 37: 1-9
1Fret not thyself because of the ungodly * neither be
thou envious against the evil doers.
2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass * and
be withered even as the green herb.
3Put thou thy trust in the Lord, and be doing
good * dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be
fed.
4Delight thou in the Lord * and he shall give thee thy
heart’s desire.
5Commit thy way unto the Lord, and put thy trust in
him * and he shall bring it to pass.
6He shall make thy righteousness as clear as the
light * and thy just dealing as the noon-day.
7Hold thee still in the Lord, and abide patiently upon
him * but grieve not thyself at him, whose way doth
prosper, against the man that doeth after evil counsels.
8Leave off from wrath, and let go displeasure * fret
not thyself, else shalt thou be moved to do evil.
9Wicked doers shall be rooted out * and they that
patiently abide the Lord, those shall inherit the land.
The Second Reading: 2 Timothy 1:1-14
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, for the
sake of the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
To Timothy, my beloved child:
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our
Lord.
I am grateful to God—whom I worship with a clear conscience, as
my ancestors did—when I remember you constantly in my prayers night
and day. Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may
be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, a
faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother
Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you. For this reason I
remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through
the laying on of my hands; for God did not give us a spirit of
cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of
self-discipline.
Do not be ashamed, then, of the testimony about our Lord or of
me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel,
relying on the power of God, who saved us and called us with a
holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own
purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus
before the ages began, but it has now been revealed through
the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death and
brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. For
this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a
teacher, and for this reason I suffer as I do. But I am not
ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am
sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted
to him. Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have
heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ
Jesus. Guard the good treasure entrusted to you, with the help
of the Holy Spirit living in us.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. Thanks be to
God.
Gradual Hymn: 562 Put thou thy trust in God [Doncaster]
The Gospel Reading: Luke 17:5-10
The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’ The
Lord replied, ‘If you had faith the size of a mustard seed,
you could say to this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and planted in
the sea”, and it would obey you.
‘Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from
ploughing or tending sheep in the field, “Come here at once and
take your place at the table”? Would you not rather say to
him, “Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I
eat and drink; later you may eat and drink”? Do you thank the
slave for doing what was commanded? So you also, when you have
done all that you were ordered to do, say, “We are worthless
slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!” ’

Cathedral Interest Group Talk
Tony and Katherine Martin have kindly agreed to speak to all
keen to listen at the next Interest Group Meeting. "Triumph Over
Adversity" concerns their new son-in-law, Curtis McGrath who as a
member of the Australian Army had both legs blown off after a IED
(improvised explosion device) exploded while he was deployed to
Afghanistan. The talk will encompass the facts of the accident, his
success at winning a gold medal in K2 kayaking and being kayaking
World Champion not once but 10 times. We will learn of his
determination to get back to normal, as a phys-ed teacher to
inspire the younger generation and to wear the silver fern at the
next Paralympic Games. It is sure to be an inspiring talk.
When: 7pm on Tuesday 8th October
Where: 10 Ross Street, Roslyn.
Morning Tea Roster and Sidepersons Roster
Do you enjoy a cup of coffee and a chance to catch-up with
others after the 10am service? We need more people for the Morning
Tea Roster to help make this possible each Sunday morning. We also
need more lovely friendly people to join the sidepersons roster. It
is not an onerous role but very important for creating a welcoming
atmosphere for our Sunday services. If you would like to join
either (or both!) roster, or to find out more, please contact
Ondine in the office, [email protected]
Cathedral Office closed
The Cathedral office will be closed from Friday 4 October,
