------------------------------------------------------- ************************ Our usual
services continue in St John’s at 11.00am each Sunday, except this Sunday
(26th March) when there will be a service in All Saints, Raheny
at 10.30 am. [Reminder:
the clocks go forward – an earlier start!!] This will be
a joint Farewell Service for Canon Aisling Shine, who is retiring from active
ministry in the Church of Ireland. It will be an opportunity to show our
appreciation to Aisling for her many years of selfless and dedicated ministry
in St John’s and All Saints’, as well as in the wider church as a Canon of Christ
Church Cathedral and a member of Diocesan Synod and of General Synod. All are
welcome to join us. Covid rules apply. Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another”. The peace of the Lord be always with you. At this time of a vacancy when we have no Rector,
we are pleased to say that our services are continuing week by week thanks to
the dedication of a team of people. Our Rural Dean, Canon Leslie Robinson,
has overall care of the parish until a new rector is instituted. We thank
Canon Robert Deane and the Rev’d John Marchant for
leading our worship up to this point. The Archbishop has appointed the Rev’d Tom O’Brien to provide pastoral care during the remainder
of the vacancy. We continue to be ably served by our newly commissioned
lay-reader, Lynn Adams. And of course, the services would not be complete
without Sylvia on our organ. Thank you all. ============================ For
up-to-date position, please refer to https://allsaintsraheny.org/preview/ ------------------------------------------------------- St John's is a Church of Ireland Church (Anglican,
Episcopalian). The parish of Coolock is grouped with
the Parish of Raheny - All Saints' Church. While both churches are welcoming places, they are both
completely different architecturally – St John’s was built as a small country
church, has 9thC artifacts, and is
associated with St Brendan and has stained glass by Burne-Jones, Child,
Purser and Meyers, while All Saints’ church is a magnificent ornate building,
erected on the corner of St Anne’s Park, thanks to the generosity of Lord
Ardilaun of the Guinness family. "telling, teaching, tending, transforming,
