Pastoral NotesNEW TO LISBURN Welcome to Lisburn Cathedral. We aim to provide a caring, family gathering where all can grow and mature as Christians who know Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour. Please fill out one of our smilie ‘WELCOME’ Cards and we will get in touch with you very soon. If you’ve moved house or not told us where you live, please complete a ‘WELCOME’ Card to keep our records up to date. The Cards can be left with the Church Wardens or in the Parish Office. BAPTISM What a joy it is to welcome the children of believing Christians into the fellowship of Lisburn Cathedral through baptism. The Rector should be contacted as soon as possible after the birth of a child to provide the parents with the ‘YOUR BABY AND BAPTISM’ booklet. Once parents have read this information they may decide to bring their baby for baptism or thanksgiving service. Parents should be regular attenders at Lisburn Cathedral and have the clear intention of bringing up their child in the fellowship of the Christian Church. The purpose of all our Children’s Ministry work, through the Cathedral, is that the children will be brought to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. WEDDINGS Christian Marriage is the most important decision any couple can make together. All couples are asked to attend Church each week, attend the Marriage Preparation Course and uphold Christian standards as they prepare for their Marriage. All dates should be checked with the Rector before booking with hotels as the staff and Cathedral may not be available for specific dates. Couples will be provided with a ‘WEDDING INFORMATION SHEET’ which should be returned before a firm booking is taken. FUNERALS Please notify clergy or staff immediately upon serious illness or death. The Clergy should always be consulted before any funeral plans or times are arranged. PARISH OFFICE The office is staffed by Margaret Quigley from 9.30am – 12.30pm WEDNESDAY to FRIDAY. All bookings for the church hall should be made in writing with our Secretary. Please pass on information of parishioners going into hospitals or residential homes or facing serious illness through the Parish Office. It would be greatly appreciated if all notices for Sunday Services were with the Secretary by 10.00am on Thursday Morning. Monday is the Rector’s day off. All emergency calls to the Rev Ken McGrath. Ken’s day off is Thursday when all emergency calls should go to Sam. |
