The Psalm was sung to a contemporary setting by students of St. Hilda\u2019s Diocesan High School; while the Litany was written and read by students of St. Hugh\u2019s High and The Queen\u2019s Schools. There were also musical presentations by Church Teachers\u2019 College; St. Jago Cathedral Preparatory School; Black River High School; Kingston College Chapel Choir; St. Jago High School; as well as LeAndr\u00e9 Saddler and Javier White of St. Luke\u2019s Church, Cross Roads.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The Rev. Fr. Douglas Barnes, Director of Christian Education, who preached the Sermon, noted that the Cathedral Sunday celebration coincided with the Feast of Christ The King \u2013 \u201ca day when Christians acknowledge that Jesus rules the world.\u201d However, he said, many persons, especially youth, were afraid to let people know they were Christians, and to share the gospel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Everyone should see talking about Jesus as their mission and responsibility,\u201d he challenged. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In an up-beat message directed mainly at the youth, and punctuated by songs which complemented his points, Fr. Barnes suggested that: \u201cEach of us is like a cup. We must pour out of ourselves what God has poured into us; and others will do likewise, so the gospel is shared.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">While noting that persons proclaiming the gospel may, sometimes, face opposition or rejection, he encouraged members of the congregation not to be afraid, but to boldly declare: \u201cMe mek up me mind, a Jesus me sey!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Evensong was preceded by a March of Witness led by the All Saints Marching Band and Flaggers from the Church of the Holy Spirit in Cumberland, Greater Portmore. This was followed by a Choirfest outside the Cathedral, featuring DeCarteret College; Ocho Rios; Bishop Gibson and St. Hugh\u2019s High Schools.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --><\/style>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Commenting on the day\u2019s activities, The Rt.
