Parish Notices Sunday 26th January 2020

The Rector writes ‘Tomorrow marks the 75th anniversary of the freeing of Auschwitz Death Camp in Poland. Over 1 million people, mainly Jews, died there. The theme for the Holocaust Memorial Day this year is ’Stand Together’ and of course it is only when we stand together that we are strong.  We celebrated the work of Cork woman Mary Elmes last year with the dedication of a Bridge in her name and the entering of her name into Ashton School’s Hall of Fame. She had rescued many children from a certain death in Nazi-occupied France. Another brave person just like her, who is quoted in the HMD Material this year is Sir Nicholas Winton, who rescued 669 children from Nazi-occupied Europe. He said ’Don’t be content in your life just to do no wrong, be prepared every day to try and do some good.’ Thank you to Simon Woodworth for the painfully poignant photos on the back of the Linksheet reminding us that they were all just like us.’

Another note from the Rector!

Last week I spoke about how we could all learn along with the Confirmation Candidates during the Services in the next few months. If you’d like to take this a step further you could go along to the ‘Women in the Bible’ Study led by Clodagh King which begins on February 13th, or you could plan to come along on Wednesdays in Lent, beginning 4th March, each week is a simple Service of Evening Prayer followed by this year’s Church of Ireland Bible Study, ‘Caring for the Garden of Year’. All year round of course there are the two Home Groups (The Saplings Group, meeting mainly in the Carrigaline area, led by Cecil Poole and The Monkstown Group meeting mainly in the Monkstown/Glenbrook area, led by John Sweeney) or finally if you are a determined ‘stay at home during winter’ person, give me a shout and I’ll recommend some nourishing reading for you! No excuse not to dust down those ’little grey cells’ as Poirot might say!’
