This is the most formal and traditional of our regular services at the Cathedral. We hold a prayer book service using physical copies of An Australian Prayer Book and hymn books, which are available in the pews. Singing is accompanied by an organist. You don’t need to bring anything with you. Most people dress slightly more formally for this service than for a trip to the shops (button shirts for men and blouses or dresses for ladies), but you are welcome to dress as you please. The minister will wear clerical robes. We share in Holy Communion each week and there are always non-alcoholic and gluten-free elements available.

This is a contemporary service with modern worship songs and some traditional hymns in a contemporary style. There is a creche and children’s program available during the school term, but children are also free to stay in the service. There are corporate prayers such as thanksgiving prayers or a confession, and we usually recite one of the historic creeds. These prayers and creeds are displayed with a projector so everyone knows what to say. Most people dress as they would for a trip to the shops. The minister will sometimes wear a clerical collar, but usually just a button-up shirt. We share morning tea after the service.

This is a contemporary service, which is held in the Parish Centre (in the Cathedral grounds but on the Eastern side of the Cathedral building). We sing modern worship songs and hymns in a contemporary style. It is much more informal than our other services, but we still use corporate prayers such as confessions or thanksgiving prayers, which are displayed with a projector. Most people dress fairly casually. If you wear what you would wear to the supermarket you shouldn’t feel out of place. The minister will often be dressed quite casually. We share in supper after the service.
