Walking in the Wilderness with Jesus - Daily Reflections for Lent.
We are inviting you to join us during Lent 2021. While we cannot be together, Lay Readers from the length and breadth of the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough have gathered virtually to provide a thought for the day online. Entitled 'Walking with Jesus in the Wilderness', the series of short reflections will be posted daily on the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJQH1IpNHCI2ue7S782OlFw (subscribe now so as not to miss a post) and will be available on the Diocesan Website https://dublin.anglican.org/,
Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/DublinandGlendalough and Twitter https://twitter.com/UnitedDioceses Archbishop Michael Jackson will begin the series on Ash Wednesday, February 17, and will provide weekly reflections on Sundays throughout Lent. The Diocesan Readers will take over from Mondays to Saturdays providing hopeful reflections and prayers for our times based on the readings for each day until Maundy Thursday, April 1.

Stuart Nicholson is the Master of the Music at Saint Patrick's Cathedral and they are looking for this year's intake of choristers to join them in the choir stalls and school in September. As they are not able to recruit in the usual way, they are reaching out directly to interested parents via schools in the area, music centres, choirs and churches, as well as good old-fashioned word-of-mouth.
Therefore attached below is a flier and a letter for parents, which may be of interest to those with musically inclined children or grandchildren, or those teaching music in the parish.
