Pentecost 2022 in Liverpool
Two Cathedrals Service
Pentecost – June 5th from 3pm

The traditional Pentecost service returns to Liverpool 40 years after Pope John Paull II made his historic visit to both cathedrals in 1982. Our ecumenical Pentecost celebrations also form part of our celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen.

The celebrations start with an act of worship on the steps to the Metropolitan Cathedral. Worship continues with an all age family service at Liverpool Cathedral starting at 3:45. Following this we have the Big Picnic for the Platinum Jubilee. With big games and fun activities provided by In Another Place we invite you to bring a picnic and join in the fun. We will have food and refreshments available from the Welsford Bistro.

Order of the day

3.00pm               Act of worship at foot of Metropolitan Cathedral
3:45pm               All age worship at Liverpool Cathedral
4.00pm               Big Picnic starts inside Liverpool Cathedral

Please revisit the CTMR website for further details. They will be added as they become available.

The next Monday afternoon group will meet this Monday 16th May and then on the 23rd May. There will then be a short gap due to the forthcoming Bank Holiday with the group next meeting on June 13th.

We will be following a 5-session course called “God has no Favourites”
We meet in the lounge at church from 2pm to approx 3.15pm. All are welcome; there is no commitment to be at every session. A Bible will be useful if you can bring one.

Church Council meetings are very important as they allow the direction and activities of the church to be set and agreed. If you don’t like something, or want the church to do something new or different, or want to understand why certain things are done then this is the best place to discuss it.
Tonight we have some very important items to discuss and seek approval (or not) and so its really important you attend.

All Church council members should be there but these meetings are open to anyone to attend.
Only Church council members can vote but everyone’s opinions do make a difference.
Please join us in church on Thursday 31st March at 7.30pm
