On Saturday 22nd March we were delighted to open the doors of St Patrick’s Church in Powerscourt to Rev. Rob Clements and 23 Confirmation Candidates and their families and friends from both Powerscourt with Kilbride and Kilternan Parish.
![](http://www.powerscourt.glendalough.anglican.org/test/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/image-2.png)
The candidates were confirmed by the Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glendalough the Very Reverend Michael Jackson. Our sincere thanks to all those who stepped forward to prepare the church for this event including one of our two new teams of ‘Dust Fairies’ (you a group of mums from the school who have joined our church cleaning rota) and one family who, despite it being half term, turned up on Friday morning to clear the paths in the graveyard following the storms.
![](http://www.powerscourt.glendalough.anglican.org/test/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/image-3.png)

News from the Pews 11
At a recent Clergy Conference, the Rt. Rev’d. Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Chelmsford, Archbishop-designate of York spoke to us about vocation. He observed that Jesus was, at times, the most ‘unavailable’ person in scripture; slipping away to mountains and wilderness to connect with God and leaving behind him villages of people who had drawn close to hear his words. He wondered if we did the same – made time for God in our daily and weekly routines and I must admit that I would be very quick to
![](http://www.powerscourt.glendalough.anglican.org/test/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/image-41.png)
promote the concept but also quick to get bogged down in administration and other things. In short, if we are not continuously refreshed by God, then how can we speak out or live out Christ in our lives?! I know what I am going to focus on in particular this Lenten time – the establishing of a more deliberate routine with the Almighty (the concept of which excites me no end). We are fortunate with the changing seasons within the church year to be reminded of these pockets of time in which to review and adjust the endless habits of our lives. What do you think you might take up or put down for Lent this year? Worth a thought…

I was delighted to be invited to the Church of Ireland Centre, DCU All Hallows Campus to the launch of a new book of prayers for primary school assemblies. The book was launched by the President of DCU on 6 February. A prayer from Powerscourt National school has been included in the book.
This book is an original compilation of new prayers, mostly written by pupils and teachers in the Church of Ireland primary schools and is designed to provide prayers for primary school assemblies as pupils and teachers mark the pattern of seasons and events in the school year. The project was coordinated by, and the book edited by, Jacqui Wilkinson, Church of Ireland Centre, DCU.
