English conversation classes Every Wednesday 2.00pm to 3.00pm we host English conversation classes in the Darnell Room, in which our wonderful team of volunteers assist people who would like to practice their English speaking skills. We are also seeking more volunteers to help. You don’t need any special qualifications at all, just a patient and friendly demeanour and the urge to help others. Please contact the Cathedral Office on 3835 2222 if you feel you may be able to give of yourself in this way. Flower Guild The Flower Guild hopes you enjoy the floral decorations in the Cathedral. If you would like to join the Flower Guild and help do the flowers in the Cathedral on a one Friday morning a month rotation, or just as a reserve, please be assured you will be most welcome. Please contact Eleanor on 3870 3873. Blessed Sacrament Chapel concept drawing Jack Barnes has developed a concept for the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. A copy of the concept drawing is on display in the Chapel. The concept seeks to honour the riddel posts that were previously part of the chapel furniture. The new structure will incorporate the Cherubs that previously stood upon the riddle posts. It is envisaged that the structure would be carved in Queensland Maple or similar. The Cathedral Chapter is seeking your comments on the design. Please direct your comments to the Dean, in person or tby email to: pcatt@stjohnscathedral.com.au Tapestry cushion exhibition Cushions in this month’s display creatures of the sea and reef, such as turtles, puffer fish, and shells, as well as Butterflies and Birds, all of which remind us that we are surrounded by God’s wonderful creation.

EARN & LEARN 2017 CONCLUDED – outcome to be advised!

Our thanks to everyone who has been collecting the Woolworths Earn & Learn stickers and dropping them in the box in the Cathedral. These have been passed on to the students and staff at Brisbane Central State School and we will let you know the outcome of everyone’s efforts as soon as we hear from BCSS Business Manager Carolina Duncan. Past E&L efforts by the Cathedral community have helped BCSS obtain thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment for the school.
