Easter Day 4 April 2021 Welcome to the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, Bristol
Whether you are a regular worshipper, or this is your first time visiting the Cathedral, you are most welcome. The service can be followed in the main booklet. This week’s services can be found on the Music List on our website.
HAPPY EASTER! The Bishop of Bristol joins the Dean & Chapter in wishing you all a peaceful and blessed Easter. The Chapter also thanks all those who have contributed to the life and worship at Bristol Cathedral this Lent and Holy Week. It has been a most memorable time. THIS WEEK We will continue to broadcast Morning Prayer at 8.00am, daily, and the Eucharist on Sundays. Services are broadcast via www.facebook.com/bristolcathedral and www.youtube.com/bristolcathedralvideo. From Tuesday 6 April the Cathedral will be open for the 12.30pm Eucharist (not broadcast). There is no need to book, but your contact details will be taken on arrival.
GENERAL New Canon Missioner and new Chief Operating Officer You may have seen two announcements on our social media this week: our new Canon Missioner is the Revd Jonnie Parkin, currently a priest in Grantham. Our new Chief Operating Officer (Chapter Clerk) is Bristol born-and-bred Ben Silvey. Ben will start on Monday 24 May, and Jonnie will be installed at Evensong on Sunday 22 August. Do keep them and their families in your prayers as they prepare to move to these new positions. Daily Hope – phone line A reminder that the Church of England has launched a dedicated phone line. Options available include materials also available digitally by the Church of England’s Communications team such as Prayer During the Day and Night Prayer updated daily, from Common Worship, and a recording of the Church of England weekly national online service. A section called Hymn Line offers callers a small selection of hymns, updated daily. An option entitled ‘Hymns We Love’, provides a hymn and reflection and is based on an initiative by the Connections group. The line – which is available 24 hours a day on 0800 804 8044 – has been set up particularly with those unable to join online church services during the period of restrictions in mind. Please tell any friends and family you feel might benefit from this service.
