But only with OUR HEARTScan we feel the MIRACLE of GOD'S LOVE

which redeems all men...

And only with OUR SOULcan we make our 'pilgrimage to God'

“I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, what is the

breadth and length and height and depth of the love of Christ”

Ephesians 3:18

Now that Easter is around the corner, preparations are afoot for

services in Holy Week, when we take that symbolic walk with Jesus and

we follow His triumphant entrance to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the

last supper He shared with His disciples and friends, the tragic events

which led to the torturous walk to Calvary culminating in His agonising death on the cross. This of

course was not the end, it was only the beginning, and after the weight of Holy Week we cast our

burdens down and we rejoice with all Christians as we witness the transforming power of love and

the miracle of the resurrection which brings to us the Christian hope of eternal life.

We are, if you like, born anew every Easter morning - as we too triumph with Christ over the grave

and experience the grace of God which has been won for us through the power of love. Look with

me at hymn number 105, “O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless free, rolling

as a mighty ocean, in it’s fullness over me”.

I am looking forward to a new beginning myself. Hospital schedules willing, I should be having

surgery on 15th April. Having been in pain off and on for some time now, I am looking forward to my

new pain free life, to energy restored and the hope of health transformed.

Just as Easter heralds hope, the season rings in a new change. As we celebrate Christ risen from

the dead, we also celebrate nature springing from the ground, blossoming forth in all its

resplendence and we are doubly blessed by the beauty of the risen Christ and the reflection of this

beauty in the natural world around us. What better time to thank God for loving us and blessing us

with abundant life (John 10:10 Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life and have it

abundantly”).

At Easter we celebrate life and birth, we celebrate the beauty and bounty of the risen Christ. We

look around and witness God breathing new life and fragrance into nature, how can we fail to worship

and glorify God who gave so much for so many. Sing with me hymn number 3 “God is love let heaven

adore Him, God is love let earth rejoice”.

I wish you every blessing dear parishioners, as you rejoice in His majesty, as you rejoice in sins

forgiven, and as you rejoice in the hope which is ours through the life, death and resurrection of our

beautiful Saviour.

With love in Christ,

Annual General Vestry (Easter Vestry).

The date for our Easter Vestry remains Monday 13th April from 7.30pm and this year the Vestry

decided to revert to the traditional format for the meeting which will be to hear reports, undertake the

necessary business and close with refreshments. All registered Vestry Members can participate but all

parishioners are welcome to attend the meeting.

So please come along and join us as we reflect

together on the past year and our hopes for the

future development of our church life.

Clergy HolidaysThe Vicar’s post-Easter break will be from

Monday 6th April - Sunday 12th April inclusive.

The Curate’s post Easter break was to have

been Monday 13th April - Sunday 19th April

inclusive but as part of that may be spent in

hospital (see page 6) this may be need to be

revised.

Palm Sunday, 29th March

Our annual Bread and Soup lunch will be held following the

11am service and this year this will be a fundraiser for Danielle

McCullagh’s placement with CMS Ireland in Uganda. Please

note, as the leaders will be involved in preparing and serving

the lunch there will be no ‘Faith Factory’ activity that week or

on Easter Sunday. They will resume on Sunday 12th April.

Monday 30th March to Friday 3rd April

As outlined in the March magazine, we will be exploring the

significance of Holy Week through themes from the film ‘Casablanca’ with a service each evening

except Wednesday, when we will keep an extended prayer time from midday to 1pm reflecting on

the passion story with prayer, music and meditation.

Details of the evening services are as follows:

Monday 30th March, 7.30pm. Evening Service for Holy Week. Theme: ‘Wilderness and waiting’

Tuesday 31st March, 7.30pm. Evening Service for Holy Week. Theme: ‘Lamenting and lost love’.

Maundy Thursday, 2nd April, 7.30pm. Service of Holy Communion. Theme: Seeing God’s bigger picture.’

This will be followed by the stripping of the church in preparation for Good Friday.

Good Friday, 3rd April, 7.30pm. Evening Service for Good Friday. Theme: ‘The power of self

sacrificial love.’

During the day on Good Friday, between 12 noon and 3pm, we will also have a slightly different

‘Quiet Day’ at the Glebe, by gathering for a simple lunch and then watching extracts from the film,

together with opportunity for reflection and prayer.

Please join us to reflect together on what it means to meet Jesus in this most important week in the

Christian year.

Easter Day Services. Sunday 5th April

6.30am. Belfast Zoo car park. Dawn praise for Easter Day organised by Newtownabbey Clergy

Fellowship, followed by breakfast at Glengormley Presbyterian Church.

Our services in church will follow our normal pattern for the first Sunday in the month with 9.30am

Holy Communion, 11am Parish Communion and 6.30pm Evening Prayer. However, please note that

as our organist at 9.30am, Jonathan Leathem, is

not available on Easter Day, and it has not been

possible to find cover for him, the 9.30am service

will be a said service of Holy Communion without

music or hymns.

Prayers at NoonThe next monthly parish prayer times at noon

in the church will be on Wednesday 1st April

(which will be an extended time as part of our Holy

Week devotions) and Wednesday 6th May.

Please join us for these times of prayer for our

church and community.

Diary for April

Update on CarolCarol was diagnosed some weeks ago with a rare form of hernia which has continued to give her

intermittent pain. This will require surgery and she has been given a provisional date of 15th April for

the operation. At this stage she is unsure how long she may need to be in hospital or how much time

off she will need following the surgery, but she will of course be in our prayers for a successful

outcome and speedy recovery. We hope to arrange some additional clergy cover if necessary during

the time Carol will be out of action.

Home Communions for EasterOver the next few weeks, the clergy will be taking Holy Communion out to the those who will not

be able to attend church at this special season. If anyone else would like to avail of this, please

contact us as soon as possible.

Catering Team NewsIt was with regret that Marion Magowan informed the Select Vestry in March that she has decided

to step down from her role in organising and leading this team when her current Council catering

certificate expires at the start of May. Some other members of the team have also felt the time has

come to relinquish this role. Marion and her team have done sterling work over many years now, not

just in catering for parish functions but in raising considerable amounts of money for the church

through offering catering following funerals. On everyone’s behalf I would like to offer our deep

thanks and appreciation for so many years of commitment and energetic work on this vital service

to the church.

Marion is still willing to help with some tasks but standing for long periods sandwich making in

particular has become more difficult in these last years. So as we offer our thanks and good wishes to

Marion, we now urgently need some further volunteers if we are to continue this service either for the

church or the wider community. We need several people willing to acquire the relevant catering

certificate (it can be done online or through a short course and the church will pay any charges) so that they

can supervise. Ideally, we would also like to have a strong team of helpers so that no-one need be asked

to help too often. Please let the Vicar know if this is something you might be able to help with.

A Note of ThanksA poem was printed in our January magazine about Carnmoney Parish Chruch, written in the

1940s by Irvine Brown, a former parishioner. Many will remember Irvine and many more will

remember his daughter, Marion McMurray, also a very active member of our church and choir, who

sadly passed away a few years ago. One current parishioner was so struck by the poem that he has

presented a beautifully engraved and framed copy of the poem to the church anonymously. The

Select Vestry has received this gift with appreciation and is arranging for it to be hung in the

Memorial Room, close to painting of the church, which seemed the most appropriate location. On

behalf of everyone, we thank the anonymous donor for this kind gift.

Visit of our CMS Ireland Mission PartnersOur Mission Partners, Rory and Denise Wilson, have decided for the sake of their young son Gideon, to

make annual home visits, so that he will have regular contact with his grandparents. They visited the

parish last year on Palm Sunday and spoke in church and also at the lunch afterwards. They will not be able

to make a Sunday visit to us when they are home this spring as they have other link parishes who didn’t

get to see them last year. However, they have offered us a mid-week visit, and the timing works well for

them to come to our May Fellowship evening to share something of their own faith and work in Uganda.

We will keep the evening informal with input from Rory and Denise and opportunities to ask questions

about all they share as well as to enjoy fellowship over tea and coffee. They have even promised to bring

some food for us to share, though they haven’t said whether it will be typically Ugandan or not! So do

come on Thursday 7th May from 7.30-9pm, and take this chance to learn more of their lives and work so

that we can be more informed as we offer them our prayerful and financial support.

Recycling for Restoration FundLast month we raised £9 for books and £9 for scrap metal. Please continue to

collect all clean clothing, shoes, hats, belts and handbags, all metal, including

aluminium and steel food cans, all to raise much needed funds for the church. We

can also recycle  electrical items, including leads, cables and anything with wiring

attached, such as phones. Please do not put other items in the same bags as clothes

and cans. Clothing can be left at the church hall and all items, including scrap metal, at 7 Glebecoole Park

(please call Maurice or Doreen on 9084 4093 to ensure someone is at home before delivering items, as

bags left are liable to be taken by other collectors or clothes get soaked by rain. So before you bin or

kerbie, think recycle for the church - if in doubt ring us. Maurice Atkinson

Church of Ireland Men’s SocietyIt was great to see so many take up our invitation to join us in our visit to

the Belfast Synagogue last month. We all agreed that we were made most

welcome and it was a very interesting and instructive evening. Not only did

it let us see how worship was conducted within the Synagogue, but it also

gave us a unique insight into how the Jewish community grew and

integrated into Northern Ireland society, but now with an ageing

congregation and changes in society their numbers are rapidly dwindling; a situation which we

ourselves can perhaps appreciate all too well.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday 14th April and will be something completely different. Over

the past few years we have been trying to find a convenient date for a visit from the Rev. Neill Cutcliff

with his collection of bottles, and this month we have finally managed to get him. To call it a mere

collection is something of an understatement, as one person who has seen the collection claimed,

“he has more bottles than Coca Cola”. Neill uses these bottles to tell inspirational stories and those

who have met him will bear witness to his contagious enthusiasm and sense of humour. Definitely a

night not to be missed. Trevor Gibb, Secretary

Our meeting on 24th February was once again very well attended. Our speaker was Andrew Irvine

from Street Pastors. He spoke of his work on the streets. Their work is the Church going out into the

community showing their love and compassion to anyone in need especially the young people. They

do not judge or preach to anyone, they are just there for anyone in need, to make sure they are safe

or to give them help. It was interesting to hear

that the young people actually look out for the

Street Pastors and enjoy communicating with

them and seem intrigued when they see all the

churches working together. The Street Pastors

are clearly doing a lot at the weekends to keep

our young people safe. The scheme is being

extended throughout Northern Ireland, as well

as in many parts of the world. Andrew was a

very interesting and informative speaker, and

we all enjoyed listening to him.

On Saturday 28th February we hosted North

Belfast Prayer Breakfast.  A good number

attended from all the local branches.  The

speaker was Rev. Arlene Moore, and in groups

we made a prayer bracelet for each branch.  All

money raised went to support the North Belfast

Contact Centre.

Be young at heart and live longer!Scientists have now found evidence that feeling young at heart

really can make you live longer. It seems that a youthful ‘spring’ in

your attitude towards life, and optimism about the future can do

wonders for your cardiovascular health.

Researchers at University College London found that when people

felt younger than their actual age by three years or more, then they

were 41% less likely to have died in the follow-up period of eight

years.

It seems that people who feel younger take better care of

themselves, maintain a healthier weight, eat sensibly and follow

medical advice to a greater extent than people who feel their age, or

older. The ‘young at heart’ are also more prone to be engaged in

social activities, which in turn keep them mentally alert.
