Sundays and Holy Days
Fourth Sunday after Trinity
Sunday, 13 July, 2025
Collect
O God, the protector of all who trust in you,
without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy:
increase and multiply upon us your mercy;
that with you as our ruler and guide
we may so pass through things temporal
that we lose not our hold on things eternal;
grant this, heavenly Father,
for our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Sermon
Canon Nigel’s sermon at the 9:30am Sung Eucharist will be recorded live and uploaded to the Sermons page after the service.
Bible readings
See this week’s notices for the Common Worship Lectionary readings for Sunday morning.
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 will be 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 (or Monday to Wednesday until early July 2025).
You can follow the daily office of the Church of England online here. You can also find links there to download a free Church of England Daily Prayer app for your smartphone or tablet.
