Third Sunday of Epiphany
Sunday, 25 January, 2026
Collect
Almighty God,
whose Son revealed in signs and miracles
the wonder of your saving presence:
renew your people with your heavenly grace,
and in all our weakness
sustain us by your mighty power;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Sermon
Canon Paul’s sermon will be recorded live and uploaded to the Sermons page after the service.

Should you be unable to get to church, the Church of England continues to provide a videoed, pre-recorded service, available every weekend, and which can be followed here. Services continue to be streamed live from our Cathedral, and can be found here.
Sunday Evenings
We normally have an evening service at 6pm on Sundays.
- On the first Sunday of the month this is Reflections, built around a period of quiet contemplation.
- On the second Sunday of each month we are currently holding an outdoor fire pit service – lasting about 30 minutes, and followed by marshmallows, toasted on the fire.
- We have Choral Evensong on the third Sunday of the month (except in August, when the choir is on holiday, and December, when we have Christmas choral evening services).
- On the fourth Sunday of the month at 6pm there is usually a Taizé service held in the chancel.
- Otherwise, on second and fifth Sundays (when there is one), there is usually a quiet evening prayer service in our Cuthman Chapel, using the traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer.
These times and dates may change according to season or special events, please refer to our calendar or the current notice sheet.
Weekday Services
Our weekly 11:30am WEDNESDAY EUCHARIST takes place in the chancel. On the last Wednesday of the month this usually includes prayers for healing.
MORNING PRAYER is usually said in the Cuthman Chapel each weekday at 8:30am from Monday to Thursday.
