What a privilege it was, to partake in the Confirmation Service in St Matthias on 26th February 2012. The sense of fellowship and belonging was very real which together with a full church and inspirational hymns made this milestone along the journey of faith significant. It is amazing what can be achieved. In the infamous words—coined by a rather well known President—“Yes We Can”. May all the candidates know that they are part of the wider parish family and will always be made welcome. Niall

The Rector Writes...

Dear friends

H ere’s a question: what’s the point of Lent? By way of an

answer I want to set before you two pictures: one from the

work place and one from the garden. First, here is a picture

or analogy from the work place. We are used to the idea of a

probationary period in a job. Businesses want to know that an employee is

going to be both competent and also the sort of person who can be a team

player. Lent is a time of allowing ourselves to be on probation. We allow God to ask us these questions: ‘are you practising your faith in a way that

honours my character and the call I have put on your life?’ And ‘are

you being a good family member by encouraging others in the

Church?’ This line of questioning may be a little uncomfortable. Quite

quickly we begin to sense ways in which we might be missing it. This brings

me to the second analogy—from the garden.

This afternoon I spent an hour or two on my knees carefully turning

over the soil in the beds and pulling out the weeds. Some pulled out easily.

Others were more stubborn and needed extra digging and pulling! Weeds

are like bad habits or character traits that we can so easily develop and which

prevent us from being the sort of people that God wants us to be. It can be a

painful experience but we need to allow God to pull out the bad stuff so that he can gently change us into something much more lovely.

Why not rise to the challenge this Lent. Allow God to speak into

your life afresh and to continue that process of becoming more like Jesus

who always put God first in his life. It can be quite scary but it is the only way

we will ever be truly human and truly alive.

In Christ’s love Will iam

If the date you have been scheduled for is not possible please feel free to swap with

someone else on the rota. Please deal directly with the person concerned and

remember to make contact with them in good time!

If you are reading from an Epistle please conclude the reading with the words:

Th is is the Word of the Lord.

If you are reading from the Gospel only use the wording for a

Communion service if it is in fact a communion service. Otherwise please

conclude the reading with the words: Th is is the word of the Lord.

The congregation need only stand for a Gospel reading if it is Communion.

Finally, whether you are reading or leading prayers please remember to

speak slowly, clearly and loudly ! Even with a mic’ the volume is not

sufficient for all members of the congregation.

Many thanks for your participation in our worship.

A Word From The Curate

Have you ever been on a long journey where your companions were—well let us say, perhaps a little boring?

Recently whilst travelling on a long car journey, I had the great pleasure to be accompanied by someone who had an amazing voice, interesting views and whose every word was simply breathtaking. Her name? Hayley.

Oh and I almost forgot, I was also accompanied by—well let us just say, an individual who never uttered a single word—the strong silent type.

A complete contrast of personalities.

We can all sometimes get the wrong impression and as a result make incorrect assumptions. For instance, reading this article one might jump to all sorts of conclusions about ‘The Curate’ and Hayley!!

OK—I confess all—The Strong Silent Type was a Red Panda. So what’s unusual about that? Have you never been accompanied by a Red Panda? Oh—did I mention that he is a cuddly toy belonging to my daughter! Hayley on the other hand is very real. Hayley Westenra has a distinctive clear voice and listening to the lyrics of some of her songs is quite inspirational.

Travelling on one’s own with a CD in the car can make one attentive. One hears but more importantly listens. It made me consider our relationship with God. Do we take the time to hear

what he says to us? Do we stay silent—long enough to

actually listen? During this season of Lent, perhaps we can all make a little more time to listen, to pause and to reflect.

DOGS AID ANIMAL SANCTUARY

A charity set up by three ladies in 1987 to help

dogs that were unwanted and abandoned in

Dublin. Since then we have helped rehabilitate and

rehome hundreds of dogs. Dogs Aid has a no destruction policy so we never put a

recoverable dog down, and as a result the sanctuary is a permanent home for

many forever dogs that are "too old or too bold" to be rehomed. From time to

time we also take care of other animals including rabbits, bats, birds, foxes, feral

cats, hedgehogs, etc.

Dogs Aid is entirely staffed by volunteers and entirely funded by public donations,

and all of the money goes to help the animals. We are currently in the process of

building a new sanctuary on our permanent site and look forward to moving the dogs

to their new home later this year.

Our sanctuary aims to give the animals as normal a life as possible until they get

rehomed, and Dogs Aid prefer them to spend most of the day playing in the grounds

of the sanctuary rather than being cooped up in runs. We can be contacted after 12pm

on 087-2944310 or 01-8347134 and via email at info@DogsAid.ie. You can visit the

sanctuary between 12pm and 4pm six days a week.

How can we help?

Bucket co l lectors wanted Dogs Aid has been lucky to be granted a licence to do bucket collections on Grafton Street for the rest of the year. Would you like to help but can't volunteer at the sanctuary? Why not become one of our regular bucket collectors? If you think you could regularly collect on Grafton Street or if you would like further information contact Marti at marti@littlebigdog.ie .

Give a legacy g i f t Why not include Dogs Aid in your will and give a gift that lasts beyond a lifetime?

We are committed to continue our work as long as there are animals who need our help so if you would

like to continue helping us talk to your solicitor about including Dogs Aid in your will.

Set up a month ly donat ion Why not help us out on a regular basis by setting up a monthly standing order? Dogs Aid depends on regular donations in order to pay the large bills that are unfortunately necessary to care for the numerous dogs in our care. These bills include dog food, vet bills, power bills, etc. Download a Standing Order form found on our website, fill it in and hand it into your bank, it's as easy as that!

Become a member of Dogs A id Why not become a member of Dogs Aid, we send out a newsletter every 3 months to update you with the news. We ask a yearly donation and have suggested amounts on our form downloadable from our website.

Fundra is ing ideas We depend nearly entirely on fundraising and we appreciate everyone who helps us fundraise. If you think you could do some fundraising we list down lots of wonderful ideas (like absailing, swear box, university challenge, leg waxing for men, etc) on our website.

Donat ing items If you are able to give a donation we would really appreciate it. We are always looking for the following items—Collars, Leads, Blankets, Dog toys, Money! Unfortunately we cannot accept—Food (unless it's Pedigree Chum Complete Lamb as their dogs need a consistent diet and get stomach upsets if fed on bits and pieces); Beddings such as Duvets, Pillows or Sleeping Bags (the dogs shred them and eat the stuffing!).

Dubl in Bus t icket If you use the bus and don't redeem the change on your ticket you could help by sending them to Dogs Aid. We can get much needed revenue from all those 20c's, they all add up. Please send any tickets to Dogs Aid Animal Sanctuary, Meakstown, Co Dublin.

Sunday Club met only twice in February, luckily we still have the use of the large hall for lessons and games and access through the back door is working out well. We have a new procedure that all children should be signed out of Sunday Club when collected, you will have noticed the sign and sign-out sheet on the desk inside the door. A register is taken and kept on file for all children who attend so we would just ask parents/guardians to please sign the children out as they leave.

We covered “Love” for Saint Valentines day by looking at Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and the children made a love-lollypop to give to someone they cared about, there were only four children at the class that week so there were plenty of extra biscuits to share around!

Sunday Club meets again on March 11th when we will be preparing the time capsule to be stored in the new building for the next 100 years so please make an effort to bring your children to church that week so they do not miss the opportunity to contribute something and be guaranteed a place in the history of St Matthias!

At the Sunday Club during Launch Sunday, we had the

theme of friendship, teamwork, forgiveness of sin and faith

using the Bible story of Jesus and the Paralytic.

We opened with a Prayer:

Thank you, Lord, for friends who share,

Thank you, Lord, for friends who care,

Thank you for the joy they bring,

Thank you Lord for everything. Amen.

We introduced the Bible story and discussed the meanings of the words:

Paralyse, Faith, Forgive, and Heal—so that everyone could better

understand the story. We then played a fun game of Kneezies, a relay race holding a ball between knees (to learn how hard it is to move when your

legs are not free to work properly!).

We made very simple models to help illustrate our story:

Blanket: One child lay on a blanket and children and leaders lifted them

gently up before placing them gently on the floor again (to show how your friends can help and how, when you work as a team, you can accomplish so much—also to demonstrate how hard it must have been for his friends

to lift the paralytic up and on to the roof of the house!).

Cleaning dirty pennies: We used a jar of vinegar and salt to clean dirty

pennies (in order to demonstrate how Jesus lifts the stain of a sin from our

souls).

The friendship wreath: Not a huge success—we really needed more

scissors! It was also unfortunately taking too long and the older boys were not quite interested so I moved on from it.

Finally cards were begun to be given to a special friend.

The long process of redeveloping the Parish Hall

which started in Nov 2008 when the then rector Rev

Ian Poulton asked Bill Fleeton to look at the project

with an Architect is now finally on its final phase of

completion! The team of Bill Fleeton, Richard Hill &

Bob Wallace were appointed to oversee the project.

Now, after more than 3 years of undergoing

consultations, planning, costings and surveyings,

tendering and contracting contractors, builders Collen

Construction are now on site since 5th Feb and are

due to finish on 4th May with Bill Fleeton making a

daily call to make sure the works are proceeding on

track. Our current rector Rev William Olhausen gave

a special service on the 26th February to launch and

bless the building works. Bill Fleeton and Bob

Wallace presented on the various aspects of the

project including costs outlay which is fully covered

by the Parish capital funds, a feat Bill had

accomplished using care, astuteness and

meticulousness.

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!

If you are a parent of small children in the church could you

please help us with Sunday Club. It really doesn’t take up a lot

of time and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the

delight on the children’s faces when they hear a story, create

something to take home, or play games while at the same time

learning about being a true Christian.

You will be trained and your involvement can be as little as ONE

SUNDAY A MONTH—that’s only an hour of your time to keep

Sunday Club running, without your help we cannot continue

and the children and the church will lose something very

valuable.

Please call Maria Waters on 087 785 1735 if you can help.

Thank you.

Collen Construction started work on 6th February 2012. The Foreman on site is a young Donegal man, Derek Gillespie. Incidentally, it was Architects Welland and Gillespie, who designed our Church Chancel in the 1870’s. Progress to date

Following decommissioning of the

existing electrical supply, all internal

partitions and floors have been

removed. The timber floors in the Old

Hall were in a very bad state due to

damp and woodworm. The drains internally have been set out and laid.

Sub floors to the kitchen and old hall are compacted.

Preparations are being made to erect steel girders (purlins) to support the

lobby area roof. When the purlins are installed, the existing redbrick

external wall can then be removed.

There was a short delay in starting the

new Day Room. The existing foundations

of the adjoining badminton hall (at over

2 m) were much deeper than expected.

The problem has been resolved by

adding support sub foundations and

changing the ground floor slab to a

‘suspended’ reinforced concrete

ground floor slab. Work on the Day

Room is now under way.

The Mechanical and Electrical

contractors are finalising the layouts and inventory of their services.

We hope that the arrangements are satisfactory for the use of the main

Badminton Hall during construction work. We ask all users to double lock the Yale lock when leaving the premises.

There was a great turn out on the 27th January to hear Billy Marshall and Mary Hyland—almost 40 people! Thank you to all who came.

Billy's talk

(with wonderful slides) about their trip across Canada was fascinating and made many wish they were there! After this we had tea and buns kindly provided by Nicky Rice, followed by Mary's talk on Nordic Walking. This received a lot of interest and I think there will be many out to try one of her sampler mornings. For further details Mary can be contacted on 087-2942269 or hyland.mary@hotmail.com.

If you came along at this event and are not on our e-mail list perhaps

you would like to contact Bill Fleeton at annfleeton@hotmail.com and

then you can receive an e-mail every month to see what we are up to?

Everyone is very welcome. Jean Paul

Our day’s outing to Dublin Castle on the 23rd

February couldn’t have turned out more perfect and smoothly! The day shone bright and warm for us as we started and ended our trip with LUAS ride. We walked the distance from LUAS Grafton St to Dublin Castle in a leisurely 15 minutes and arrived enough in time to book our places at the Guided Tour following our delicious lunch at the award winning café/

restaurant at the

Chester Beatty Library building. Our tour guide was most charming and informative. We had tea refreshments again at the Café to round off our visit before heading off for home.

Social Clubs

We meet on Friday 9th March 8pm at

9 Bayview Close, Killiney to discuss American

writer Anita Diamant’s New York Times

bestseller “The Red Tent”. It is a first-person

narrative that tells the story of Dinah,

daughter of Jacob and sister of Joseph; she is

a minor character in the Bible, but the author

has broadened her story (wikipedia).

The following book we are reading

for April will be British writer Salley

Vickers’ “Miss Garnet’s Angel”. (salleyvickers.com) It has

been reissued as a classic edition due to its continued

popularity; it is written with poise and wit which belies the

novel’s deeper themes of love, death, and the growth of the

human spirit. The author writes—I wrote ‘Ms Garnet’s Angel’ out of a potent mix: a love of Venice, and a love of art and also ancient literature.

If you would like to find out more about the Book Club, please contact Bill Fleeton at (01) 282 4247.

Winter Club Activities

We are currently drawing up activities for

the remaining season. Watch out for

new announcements on this space.

Alternatively, telephone Bill at (01) 282 4247 if would like to find out

more about the 55 Club. The 55 Club is open to all of all ages and

denominations! We have great fun sharing activities together so do join

us at any activities we do—the more the better!

Beekeeping

As a student—not today or yesterday!— I was

required to find out about the ‘Life History of a Honey Bee’. At

the time I remember being absolutely intrigued by what I read.

Many years later and the mother of three small children, I was an

advertisement in the Irish Times for a ‘Beginners Course in

Beekeeping’ and decided to enrol in the six-week course and

find out more about this fascinating subject.

As the weeks of the course went by, I became more and more

enthusiastic about these tiny insects who lead such a worthwhile

and orderly life, and in many instances would put us humans to

shame! It was not long before my husband was telling me that I

was becoming a ‘bee bore’! Imagine my excitement when only

a few months after finishing my course, I was given a small

swarm which I housed in a hive that I had inherited from a friend.

So now I was an apiarist with little knowledge and absolutely no

experience of beekeeping. However with the help of fellow beekeepers, much reading,

and going to lecture, I became more confident, and gradually built up my apiary to

eight colonies which was hard work! I now have only three hives which give me on

average about 100 lbs of honey a year, but keeps my interest in bees alive as there is

always something new to learn about them.

Beekeeping is an enjoyable open air hobby bringing you in contact with people

from all walks of life. Bees are such a very important part of our eco system and

it is vital in this day and age when so many colonies have been wiped out all over

the world that we cherish these little creatures who give us so much.

So me I n t e re s t i ng Fac t s Abo u t Honey Bee s

The bee has been known to the human race for many thousands of years. Stone Age

man ate honey which he stole from the nests of wild bees. Bees were first kept by man

in hollow logs with sticks to support the honeycombs. Later, man kept bees in straw

baskets called ‘skeps’ and today, bees are kept in standard hives.

Honey bees are social insects. They live and work together in large groups. They form a

colony which consists of a QUEEN (the reproductive female),

the WORKERS (infertile females) numbering about 10,000 in

winter and increasing to about 60,000 in mid-summer and

DRONES (males bees) numbering 200-1,000 approximately

and are present in the colony only during the summer months.

The QUEEN honey bee lays the eggs that hatch into

thousands of young bees. Laying eggs is the queen’s only

function. She does not gather food or build honeycomb.

Queens can live for 3 to 4 years and may lay up to 2,000 eggs

per day at a peak time. The queen has a smooth curved sting

which she uses only to kill rival queens.

The WORKERS do all the work in the colony. They live for

about 6 weeks in summer and up to 6 months in winter and

early spring. All worker bees are females (infertile) and are

smaller than the queen. The young worker bees remain in the

hive for 2 weeks where they are involved in cleaning empty

cells, caring for the young, building comb and processing the incoming nectar. When the

worker is about 2 weeks old, it flies out to forage, collecting nectar, pollen and water

before returning to the hive. Some worker bees perform guard duty at the hive entrance;

other workers at the entrance fan fresh air into the hive and force out stale are. The

movement of the workers’ wings help to produce enough heat to keep the colony

of bees at an even temperature. The sting of a worker bee is straight, with barbs

or hooks on it. Their sting is the only means of self-defence and they will only

sting when they feel they are under threat.

DRONES are the male honey bees and are large, burly, clumsy creatures with hairy

bodies and large eyes. They develop from unfertilised eggs and their only function

is to mate with the young queens. After mating, the drones die. They have no

sting and are unable to defend themselves against workers who ruthlessly force them out

of the hive when there is a scarcity of food and at the start of the winter period.

Lent may originally have followed Epiphany, just as Jesus’ sojourn in the wilderness

followed immediately on his baptism, but it soon became firmly attached to Easter, as the

principal occasion for baptism and for the reconciliation of those who had been excluded

from the Church’s fellowship for apostasy or serious faults. This history explains the

characteristic notes of Lent—self-examination, penitence, self-denial, study, and

preparation for Easter, to which almsgiving has traditionally been added.

Now is the healing time decreed

for sins of heart and word and deed,

when we in humble fear record

the wrong that we have done the Lord. (Latin, before 12th century)

As the candidates for baptism were instructed in Christian faith, and as penitents prepared

themselves, through fasting and penance, to be readmitted to communion, the whole

Christian community was invited to join them in the process of study and repentance, the

extension of which over forty days would remind them of the forty days that Jesus spent in

the wilderness, being tested by Satan.

Ashes are an ancient sign of penitence; from the middle ages it became the custom to

begin Lent by being marked in ash with the sign of the cross. The calculation of the forty

days has varied considerably in Christian history. It is now usual in the West to count them

continuously to the end of Holy Week (not including Sundays), so beginning Lent on the

sixth Wednesday before Easter, Ash Wednesday. Liturgical dress is the simplest possible.

Churches are kept bare of flowers and decoration. Gloria in excelsis is not used. The Fourth

Sunday of Lent (Laetare or Refreshment Sunday) was allowed as a day of relief from the

rigour of Lent, and the Feast of the Annunciation almost always falls in Lent; these breaks

from austerity are the background to the modern observance of Mothering Sunday on

the Fourth Sunday of Lent.

As Holy Week approaches, the atmosphere of the season darkens; the readings begin to

anticipate the story of Christ’s suffering and death, and the reading of the Passion Narrative

gave to the Fifth Sunday its name of Passion Sunday. There are many devotional

exercises which may be used in Lent and Holy Week outside the let liturgy. The

Stations of the Cross, made popular in the West by the Franciscans after they were granted

custody of the Christian sites in the Holy Land, are the best known.
