The Rector Writes...

Dear friends

A s we begin to think about Lent, and the celebrations beyond, it is interesting to note that economic considerations were an

important motivation in the plot to have Jesus killed (Mark 11: 15-18). Jesus’ teaching about the kingdom of God was

threatening the prosperity of the Temple economy in Jerusalem. When our money is threatened we can get quite stressed and we can start behaving in ways that are selfish and even de-humanising. However, sometimes it is when we are at our lowest point that God’s love can break into our lives in new ways. I had the privilege of seeing this dynamic in action as a prison chaplain. We might not be able to fix the euro or come up with a new

economic system for the 21st century but we can address the big

question for own finances: Will we allow God to be the Lord of our wallet? Will we look to honour him with the way we spend our money? Will we be open to sharing what we have with those we know are struggling? These tough questions are exactly what Lent should be all about! For your encouragement, the post-Easter city of Jerusalem saw the birth of a very different community. From the mob who demanded Jesus’ execution, we see the first church forming a new type of community in which generosity and sharing were an integral part of their daily lives. You can read through the accounts in Acts

(Acts 2: 44; 4: 32-35). Might God want to bring new things to our community? As we come to the end of this season of Epiphany I pray that St Matthias’ will increasingly reflect the light of Christ.

With every blessing 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

Approaching the end of last year I spent a wonderful evening (in another parish—but don’t tell anyone!) watching, and if the truth be told, very actively

participating in a pantomime entitled ‘Hoodwinked’. It is the classic story about none other than Robin Hood. The

words of many of the songs are quite thought provoking.

Robin, Robin Hood always doing good

Help us to follow your example Robin, Robin Hood

He tries to do his best to help the poor oppressed

Give everyone a chance to succeed.

Almost in some prophetic way – the following words

appeared;

Ask us are we happy—NO we’re not!

Ask us what’s the matter—QUITE a lot!

So many TAXES we have to pay!

Life isn’t fair at all!

Why are so many of us unhappy and discontent? Is it perhaps due to economic woes? Of course, life’s daily demands have a large part to play,

but is there perhaps a much deeper reason?

We know that we should help the needy

Why are we so very greedy

God forgive us here today

Help us change our selfish ways

Being selfish isn’t necessarily or even primarily about the use of money. In these recessionary and difficult times perhaps we are being challenged to use our time and talents differently, to examine our attitudes. Could it be

a case that we have ‘Hoodwinked’ ourselves ?

God forgive us here today, help us change our selfish ways.

Olivia Downey—Currently on placement at St Matthias’

I am a 1st year Student Ordinand studying at

the Church of Ireland Theological Institute near

Rathfarnham.

I grew up on the border in County Fermanagh,

my parents were farmers.

Up until last year, I was a senior cardiology

staff nurse. I trained and worked in the South of

England before returning to nurse in Belfast.

Since last September, I am training for the full

-time Church of Ireland ministry. It is a full-time

Masters in Theology Degree. Most of our classes are

taught at the Theological College but we also go into

Trinity College for some.

An average day begins with breakfast usually

around 7.30-8am. Most students live in the Institute

during the week, so most return to the Institute on a

Sunday evening. It’s good to catch up on the news

over breakfast.

As we live as a community, most of us have

various roles to play. One of my roles is

Sacristan. This means along with one of my

colleagues, we are responsible for anything

relating to the Institute Chapel, a little like a

churchwarden.

We meet for either Morning Prayer or

Service of the Word in the Chapel at 8.30am.

We all take it in turns to lead.

Different days vary but generally, we

commence class then at 9am. Classes may

continue to 12 or 12.30. Then it’s lunch! We

are very well looked after by Kathleen our head cook, and once more, the whole

community stops and it’s a chance to catch up.

Afternoon classes run from 2-4.30pm. Some days we may have an

afternoon or morning off; it’s a good opportunity to catch-up on our reading.

5pm we meet once more in Chapel for either Evening Prayer, Service of the

Word or on Wednesday’s Holy Communion.

Dinner is then at 5.30pm. Following dinner is usually a good chance to

head out for a walk and clear one’s head, although one never has less than three

or four others joining along!

At 9.15pm we have our final service of the day in Chapel, this may take the

form of Compline or perhaps a more informal style of worship.

Then it’s a final cup of coffee and bed!!!!

When do I finish? We have two years in the Theological Institute.

This is a combination of taught studies and parish placement— hence why I am at St. Matthias’. At the end of the second year (all being well) we are ordained Deacons.

Our third year is spent in a parish three weeks out of four (fourth week

is back in the Institute). During this third year we are known as interns and as

well as living and working in a parish we need to complete our dissertations. At

the end of this year we will be ready to serve our curacy and our training at the

Institute will be officially complete.

Why give up nursing and train for ministry? The short answer is I believe God told me to! I loved nursing but I trust God enough to know that

whatever he has planned for me is even better, and I want to serve him to the very fullest of my ability and some more!

Soon building work will commence on the new Parish

Centre and the children of Sunday Club will embark on a

very exciting project of preparing a TIME CAPSULE to be

placed somewhere in the new extension. This will be

something that each child can contribute to, to tell our

descendants about our faith in 2012.

56 GOATS!

Just after Christmas I received a very welcome email from Viateur—Head of the

Rural Development Team in Shyogwe Diocese (RDIS). It was a short report on the

56 Goats! they have managed to purchase with some the funds raised by St

Matthias’, Ballybrack last Christmas 2010—through the Sponsor an Animal Cards, etc... This is an extract from it:

D i s t r i b u t i o n o f G o a t s

"The poorest families have been given goats to increase both food diet and family income. As the country

depends on agriculture and animal husbandry, we all need to give our contribution to the farmers who are well involved in agriculture sector. The beneficiaries have been selected by

the local church leaders in Shyogwe Diocese closely with RDIS Technician.

A number of 56 households have got the goats; some are from Gahogo Parish (St Matthias), others from KAYENZI, NYARUNYINYA chapels. Those two chapels are located in the rural area where children under 5 and women after giving birth suffer from malnutrition.

The households which benefited are being taught about how to keep animals especially goats, the use of manure for harvest improvement is also a topic being shared within the group of beneficiaries."

NTARINDWA Viateur , Coordinator of RDIS.

I would like to thank everyone in St Matthias’ for their support in purchasing the Sponsor an Animal Cards once again this Christmas. This year we have raised €1,000 approx— which although less than last year is still great effort. And as you can see from Viateur's report—a little goes a long way! Also, thank you to Bev, Ann and Linda who helped sell the cards. Vanya

Alpha

Alpha Course at Johnstown Parish Church Wednesday 1st February at 8pm for eight

weeks.

Alpha is an excellent way to explore the Christian faith in a

low key and non-threatening environment.

It was very encouraging to host the Alpha Course here in St

Matthias’ last term. This next term, to coincide with Lent,

Johnstown Parish is hosting the next course.

Confirmation

Archbishop Michael Jackson will

conduct the confirmation service

in St Matthias’ church at 7pm on

Sunday 26th February. For all

those interested in being confirmed

Youth Alpha began on Sunday

15th January at 6-7pm in the

Parish Centre.

We are pleased that a satisfactory agreement has been reached between our proposed Contractor, Collen Construction, and our professional team David Smith, Architect and Paul Ryan, Quantity Surveyor of O’Reilly Hyland Tierney. Our Engineer is David Moran. The contract for the project is made between

the Contractor and the Representative Church Body on our behalf. The p ro je c t w i l l b e f und ed by mo ni es re t ai ned b y t he

fabr ic and bu i ld in gs . We understand the Contractor can start about the 6th February and take some four months to complete. In the autumn when the new concrete floors have dried out completely, we hope to lay the final floor coverings. Arrangements are being made so that the main hall will be available for use during the construction work. Also, we thank the Scouts for making the toilet facilities in the Den available to us for this period. From 6th February, the existing keys to the Parish Hall door can be used at the escape door to the main Hall. Additional lights inside and outside the Hall have been fitted for safe access to the escape door and steps.

Removal of Asbestos from Boiler House

The asbestos pipe lagging was f ina l ly removed f rom the

Church Boi ler House on 7th

to 9th

January .

The regulations for removal are complex. For example, It was necessary to build two temporary

air chambers at the boiler house entrance. Workers wear two sets of special overalls and masks that are discarded and bagged after each

visit to the boiler house. The asbestos lagging is dampened, removed,

double bagged, labelled and sent to Germany. Workers must discard all overalls in the dirty section of the portable

caravan and then shower in the clean section of the caravan. When the asbestos is fully removed, air is pumped into the Boiler House and then

passed through filters. The filters are examined under a microscope before the ‘all clear’ is given. Ireland is fined annually by the EU for not having its own

asbestos dump.

Where do you live?

I am currently living off Loughlinstown Drive, not far from where I

grew up in Ballybrack.

How long have you been coming to St Matthias’?

I have been going to Saint Matthias for as long as I can recall -

since childhood.

Where do you sit in Church?

I sit in the transcept, opposite the choir, and I suppose

traditionally, this is where we sat as a family when we worshipped

on Sundays.

What do you most like about St Matthias’?

I like the memories most of all! there are many memories I

associate with Saint Matthias, and the spiritual dimension of my

life. I have both happy, and not so happy memories, but all of these

have spiritually nourished me as a person.

If you were the Rector, what is the one thing you would like to change?

Being honest, I'm not sure I could choose one thing to change!

Since I've learnt from experience, it is difficult to change only one

thing in one's life, or in the life of others, there's usually several

things that require alteration if change is implemented, and the

About the Interviewee

most difficult and most challenging thing I would possibly

encounter, is attitudinal change. As human beings, we can

become creatures of habit, and this type of change can be met with

resistance, when thrust upon others. I therefore like to get the

perspectives of others, weigh up the pros and cons, and hopefully

then, facilitate change.

Do you ever feel close to God? When do you feel close to God? What do you do

to feel close to God?

I feel close to God during every minute of every day. Feeling that

special closeness has carried me through life, through many

challenges, sorrow, and difficult situations. I feel both at one with

him, and sustained by my knowing he is with me, guiding me, and

lavishing me with his unconditional love and protection. I can't

give one example of when I feel closest to God, I experience that

closeness when I take time out of an otherwise hectic day, in the

quietness - free from distraction, and reflecting on God's goodness

to me in so many ways.

Normally, I go about my daily tasks, or if I really want to focus my

mind on prayer, I find a quiet spot, sometimes outdoors in my back

garden - I sit, listen, and simply allow myself "to be". Naturally I

am a communicator, I enjoy the company of others, talking, and

sitting and being silent for me is something I had to work on! I

think, thankfully, I have mastered the control and discipline to set

aside at least half an hour a day to think, be still and bring my

thoughts to God.

What is your favourite Gospel story and why?

I think there are so many beautifully illustrated stories in all the

Gospels, which have so much to teach us. I think the story of The

Widow's Offering from Saint Mark's Gospel chapter 12 verses 41-44 are very

poignant, and particularly verse 44. I find it difficult to engage

with people who are "mean-minded" and I find, I have to excuse

myself from the company of "mean" people. However, I draw

strength and solace from this Gospel story, and I suppose this is how

I "deal with" people who don't like to give of themselves, or indeed

their riches.

~ Sean Hayes ~

Name one great blessing you got this year so far.

I see even the little things in life as blessings from God, being

honest, his blessings are too numerous to mention!

Do you pray? Do you have a favourite time to pray and when?

Yes, I do pray. I think it important to me to find time each day to

pray. I say a little prayer when I get up in the morning, when stuck

in traffic going to work, and then whenever I grab a few moments

during the day before I finish my day.

Another year has passed since my part 3

endeavour on helping the Mellon Trust building

blitz in Cape Town and it was great to be able to

return

there

recently

to help

once

more.

When

we

arrived

at 0600

in Cape

Town it

was just

like

home,

raining

cats and

dogs. After clearing customs we were greeted

with a female choir singing African songs. Our

coach was waiting to bring us to the Cape Sun

Waterfront Hotel. The total number flying from

Ireland was 610 and 11 different flights were

used over 24 hours to get us to South Africa.

I re-joined the Purple Team again this year which

had around 65 builders ranging in age from 16 to 75. We also had a team of local

plasterers join us. Our team leaders, foremen and nurse were the same people as

last year so I knew we were in safe hands.

The site at Witsand was a virgin building site beside an existing Township. The full

team were to work on 160 new houses which will be finished off by the local South

African Mellon Trust builders. It is expected that 600 people will move into the new

houses before Christmas. Over the nine years the Mellon Trust has been in existence, over 18,500 houses have been built and it is expected that the 100,000th person will be housed in a Mellon Trust house by next year.

On the roof of each house a heat exchanger water system is installed for hot water.

No electricity is required to operate it as it works on a gravity feed system. On a hot

South African day the water temperature can get up to 80OC. A mixer valve is used to

reduce the water temperature to 50OC.

The weather picked up from the rainy Sunday morning to 35OC on the Friday. On the

last day at 1400 we had the pleasure in handing over our first house to the new

owners. The house was decked out with flags and the gardening team put in a small

front garden with a tree. The owners would not have seen their new houses before the

hand over. This is a very moving time for the whole team realising that they have

made a new life for the family.

This year my job was on the painting team and I was the Pollyfiller King whose job is

to fill all those cracks and wall blemishes thus allowing the painting team get to work.

If you like team work this is the place to be each November. Each house is 42 sq

meters and has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a good size kitchen/living room.

Each room has a light, but no power sockets which are confined to the fuse board.

In the evenings we had some organised outings such as a karaoke away from the

hotel. Our team leaders also organised a team night out which is great way to get to

know everybody off site.

While in Cape Town I arranged to call on the Mission to Seafarers. I am a volunteer

here in Dublin. The mission gives seafarers somewhere to go while in port enabling

them to contact their loved ones and families. With modern communications, most

sailors now have laptops with Skype and the mission in Dublin has free Wi Fi and ten

telephones. Cape Town Mission is large by Dublin standards with a computer/library

room, canteen, games room, shop, and a chapel.

Our wrap up party was held on the Friday night in a large marquee. We were

greeted by an African band complete with spears and shields’ dancing as the sun was

disappearing behind Table Mountain. There were speeches and dancing till the early

hours of the morning, some of the group did not go to bed as the first coach to the

airport was at 0400 Saturday morning.

Should you or any of your friends feel like joining the next

(10th

Anniversary) Mellon Building Blitz,

please give me a call on 087 257 4997 as the Mellon Trust is offering

a bounty on newly introduced builders (no experience required!)

which will be taken off my next year’s fundraising sum.

If you can start the day without caffeine or pills,

If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can face the world without lies and deceit,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

If you can do all these things,

Then you are probably the family dog.

Lenten prayer

"So far today, God, I've done all right. I haven't gossiped, I haven't lost my temper. Haven't been grumpy, nasty or selfish. I'm really glad of that.

But in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed; and from then on, I'm probably going to need a lot of help."
