The Contemplative Prayer Retreat is a tailor-made retreat for personal time out, away from the hustle and bustle of life, in order to be alone with God. The time of silence and solitude is so that we can listen in to hear for ourselves, the God who dwells among us.

This retreat is a Beginners’ 3-day Teaching Retreat. Basic biblical teachings regarding Meditation, Prayer and Contemplation will be taught each day. A typical day begins with Morning Chapel, followed by personal reflection time in the morning and afternoon. The day will end with a corporate time of Recollection before bed. Retreat will conclude with Corporate Reflection and Communion.

Baptism Courses : For Children  /  For Youth / Adults

Baptism Course  For Youth / Adults
Baptism is one of the most significant milestones in a believer’s walk with God. It is a public declaration of our faith in Jesus Christ (cf. Acts 2:38) and is administered in obedience to the Lord’s instruction (Matt 28:19).

Confirmation Course
Confirmation marks the point in the Christian journey at which you affirm for yourself the faith into which you have been baptised and your intention to live a life of committed discipleship. This affirmation is confirmed through prayer and the laying on of hands by the confirming Bishop. The Church also prays for you to be empowered by the Holy Spirit, to live in the way of Jesus.

The Cathedral Confirmation-Membership Course is for:

• Those seeking confirmation / membership in St Andrew’s Cathedral.
• Those baptised and currently attending church services regularly at St Andrew’s Cathedral for at least 6 months.

Note:  If you were baptised before 14 years old, you are required to attend the Baptism course before you join the Confirmation-membership course. This will cover the foundations of life as a Christian. After completion of the course, you will not be required to go through the rite of baptism again but may proceed straight to the Confirmation course.

All lessons, Baptism Service, Confirmation Retreat and Confirmation Service will be conducted onsite.

The details of the Courses are as follows:

 

---

• All lessons are compulsory.
• Due to ongoing social distancing and number restrictions, registration is based on a first come- first served basis.
