The Parish Magazine - February 2019 5 From the Reverend Dear Friends, What a fascinating church and parish Holy Trinity Micklegate is! I have been regularly taking your midweek service for some months now following Eric’s departure and retirement to Norfolk. I tend to cycle there from my home in St John Street and I am always struck at the distinctiveness of the parish when I reach the cobbles at the start of the hill (or so it seems on a bike) up Micklegate towards the Bar. Not only is the geography distinct but so is the community. There are clearly various community hubs. One that has impressed me in every respect is the local sandwich shop. When going there on a couple of occasions to buy a sandwich prior to a meeting at the church, it is full of people from the working community around. Many seem to know one another and they are certainly made welcome by the proprietors. I’m sure there are lots more community hubs in the parish also. All of this, together of course with those who live here and those who visit as tourists, are part of the mission and ministry of the church. The church building itself is a credit to those who care for it, being warm and welcoming, in good repair, clean and tidy, open and containing a fascinating exhibition of the “Monks of Micklegate”. As you prepare for seeking a new priest it is very important that everyone does their part to encourage one another and to serve the parish in whatever way you can. Jesus said when the disciples were arguing who was the greatest that “I am among you as one who serves.” (Luke 22/27). The concept of how Jesus served comes to the fore in our lectionary in these Sunday before Lent which are sometimes known as Greater Lent. The turning point leading into them comes at the festival of The Presentation of Christ in the Temple or Candlemas (February 3rd) when we turn away from the Christmas cycle of readings and start to look to Lent, Holy Week and Easter. Symbolically our candles are extinguished but our efforts to follow the servant Christ are redoubled. We realise the depths of his compassion and his determination not just to show God’s love but to live it out. That is our task at Holy Trinity as we build on all that Eric achieved. Working together, we must always as Christians strive to seek a still greater usefulness and effectiveness in the situation where God has called us. The way to achieve this is through this concept of service for the Servant King shows us the way. With every blessing, Derek Earis, Assistant Curate

Churchwarden
update
It has been a busy time in the
background at Holy Trinity.
In December, the gutters for
the Church and Jacob’s Well
were cleared out. During this,
we noticed the parapet was
dangerously loose in the north west corner. You may have noticed the
scaffolding around the boiler house. Thankfully, the parapet was quickly
repaired. We also had the porch roof repaired following water ingress.
Thanks to our contractors, the church is once again watertight.
In the spring, the gutters and churchyard railings will be repainted. We are
also due to begin repainting the internal church walls - you may notice this
when you come in for services, but disruption will be minimal.
January saw some work in the churchyard. After navigating with the
Council around planning permission (the church sits in a tree preservation
area), we can go ahead and trim the overgrown Holly tree and look at the
Lime trees that have quite a lot of dead wood in them. This should stop
branches breaking off and falling onto the path.
Over the summer, new lightening protection will hopefully be installed, to
protect the building in the event of a lightening strike.
Late 2018 sadly saw quite a few thefts from church. While we have a
good CCTV system, the Police have recommended adjusting some of the
cameras. There will also be an additional camera installed covering the
back of the churchyard. Work on this will take place in March.
There is always much to be done, to ensure the Church remains standing,
warm and waterproof. Thanks to Terry Collier who continues to be a
great help around church.

Book review
Reconciliation: the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book 2019
By Dr Muthurai Swamy, SPCK, £9.99
What is the role that ordinary people play in conflict and division – and
reconciliation? This book will help you to begin a ministry bequeathed
to us by Christ Himself.
It calls for stronger relationships among church members; building
connections with different denominations, as well as maintaining open
attitudes towards those of other religions and ideologies.
The 40 meditations consider impediments to reconciliation, risking the
self, the benefits of humility, self-criticism, radical openness and peace
with justice. Reconciliation is suitable for use at weekly gatherings or
for everyday devotion during Lent.
Volunteers - can you help?
Holy Trinity is looking for new volunteers, we have many opportunities
available:
• Reading a lesson during the Sunday service.
• Preparing refreshments before the Sunday service
and clearing up.
• Helping during our new Coffee Club on a
Wednesday morning.
• Helping with our Young Adults work.
• Helping during special services in Lent.
If you would like to help, speak to Adam or Mark.
Thank you!10 The Parish Magazine - February 2019 Psalm 95 Wise words on worship ‘Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever’ (Westminster Confession). We are created to worship, but who or what will we worship? Psalm 95 invites us to worship God and to engage with His presence and power. Rejoicing in God (1-5): ‘Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord.’ (v1). In worship we are called to praise God through ‘singing, shouting and extolling’, because He is our king (3), creator (4) and rock (1). He truly has the whole world in His hands, including you and me! Whatever our circumstances, worship enables us to acknowledge his sovereignty over our lives. Reverence before God (6,7): ‘Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.’ (v6). Worship brings us into the place of submission before God. The NT word for worship means ‘to prostrate’ ourselves before Him. It challenges the counterfeit ‘gods’ in our lives eg. power, money, sex, work etc., as well as calling us to trust Him in whatever we are facing, as He is a loving shepherd who cares for us. Responding to God (8-11): ‘Today, if only you would hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did…in the wilderness,’ (v8,9). Our worship enables us to listen and hear God’s voice. He has a fresh word to speak into our lives on a daily basis. Unlike the people of Israel in the wideness, we are warned not to harden our hearts, but to embrace God’s new life. The test of genuine worship is not whether it feels good or fits our taste, but does is lead to greater obedience in our lives. Johann Sebastian Bach headed all his compositions with S.D.G. ie ‘Soli Dei Gratia’, which means ‘To God alone be the glory’.
The Parish Magazine - February 2019 11 The Presentation of Christ in the Temple or Candlemas (2nd February) In bygone centuries, Christians said their last farewells to the Christmas season on Candlemas, 2 February. This is exactly 40 days after Christmas Day itself. In New Testament times 40 days old was an important age for a baby boy: it was when they made their first ‘public appearance’. Mary, like all good Jewish mothers, went to the Temple with Jesus, her first male child - to ‘present Him to the Lord’. At the same time, she, as a new mother, was ‘purified’. Thus, we have the Festival of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. So where does the Candlemas bit come in? Jesus is described in the New Testament as the Light of the World, and early Christians developed the tradition of lighting many candles in celebration of this day. The Church also fell into the custom of blessing the year’s supply of candles for the church on this day - hence the name, Candlemas. The story of how Candlemas began can be found in Luke 2:22-40. Simeon’s great declaration of faith and recognition of who Jesus was is of course found in the Nunc Dimittis, which is embedded in the Office of Evening Prayer in the West. But in medieval times, the Nunc Dimittis was mostly used just on this day, during the distribution of candles before the Eucharist. Only gradually did it win a place in the daily prayer life of the Church. Never be weary of doing good You are never tired, O Lord, of doing us good; let us never be weary of doing You service. But as You have pleasure in the well-being of Your servants, let us take pleasure in the service of our Lord, and abound in Your work and in Your love and praise evermore. A prayer of John Wesley
12 The Parish Magazine - February 2019 Shine, Jesus, Shine At the flick of a switch or a press of a button we can illuminate our homes with all kinds of gadgets. City life has street lights everywhere and if we need a light for dark places we can use a torch. Life for people in Bible days must have been so different. The darkness was something to be feared. Anyone in the open at night was vulnerable to attack, not only by robbers and thieves but also by animals. The Bible often mentions darkness to be a symbol for evil, whether real or imaginary. The Old Testament records watchmen on the walls of a city or large town who were employed to protect the inhabitants. Watchmen were impatient for the sunrise and a psalmist thinks of his soul waiting on God to deliver him, like the watchman waiting for the dawn. (Psalm 130:6) The Bible often associates darkness for inappropriate behaviour, problems, difficulties, wrong-doing and malevolence. Darkness can also mean a wrong course of action, wilfulness and stupidity. When the Scriptures speak of light this shows up what is amiss with our lives. Light can reveal a problem and show the way to avoid or overcome it. The prophet Isaiah wrote about people walking in darkness and seeing a great light. This in turn would change their lives for the better. He was describing the coming of Jesus who would be a light for us. He would come to reveal everything that is wrong with us, and to be the means to bring us a new life, a new purpose and a new future. He would break the power of sin and death and make it possible for everyone to be reconciled to God. In a world that needs to see the healing and saving light of Jesus, we are called to be lights of hope, peace and love. What we do and what we say matters. Our actions and words should point people to our heavenly Father. Sometimes this is difficult and sometimes we fail. But we still should try to be like the psalmist who, while thinking about God, said Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path. (Psalm 119:105)
The Parish Magazine - February 2019 13 Thomas Bray: founder of SPCK (15th February) Thomas Bray was once called a “Great Small Man”, with good reason. This diminutive 18th century English clergyman (1658 – 1730) not only helped to establish the Church of England in Maryland, but he was also founder of the Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge (SPCK) in 1698 and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (USPG) in 1701. Those are long names for societies whose aim was to get Christian books and resources into the hands of those who desperately needed them. For the early 18th century was not an easy time for poor clergymen: books were expensive, and many of them had few, or none to guide them in their ministry. And so Thomas Bray, who had been educated at Oxford, joined with some other clergy friends to help them. After a trip to assess the needs of the young Episcopal Church in Maryland (he was sent by the Bishop of London), Bray became rector of St Botolph’s, Aldgate in London in 1708. From here he served his parish, and through SPCK eventually established 80 parish libraries in England and a further 39 in the Colonies. SPCK and USPG worked by asking learned authors to donate copies of their books. They also appealed to merchants to the foreign plantations for financial help in establishing the libraries. Thomas Bray’s life has affected hundreds of thousands of people over three centuries. Not only was his work in America the first major coordinated effort to establish libraries in the New World, but SPCK is still one of our leading UK Christian publishing houses today. As if that was not enough, Bray also worked to help poor debtors emigrate to better lives, and homeless children to get care in England. He helped feed prisoners at Newgate prison in London and joined in the political fight against slavery. He also supported outreaches to Africans and Native Americans in their home countries. When he died on 15th February 1730, thousands mourned him. A great small man indeed!

Signs & Symbols:
Why do we cross ourselves?
Do you ‘cross’ yourself? Do you literally make the sign of
the cross over or upon your body?
People do this in different ways: some with certain fingers joined together,
some touch their right shoulder before the left, some do small contained
crosses on their head, lips and chest whilst others do an exaggerated
sign extending as low as they can reach and almost wrapping their arms
around themselves.
Keep your eyes open one time and look at your fellow congregation
members as the priest extends his or her arm to bless them and you’ll
see many different responses. From keeping their heads bowed, crossing
themselves at the same time, to standing quite informally and just
watching.
For me it’s not really ‘how’ you do it but rather ‘What’s it all about?’ If you
‘Google’ that question you’ll get lots of great theologically sound and
sometimes deep suggestions.
Let me offer you my personal take on it that has grown to become daily
the first thing, last thing and most important prayer of each of my days.
It’s an acknowledgement of God’s love for me individually and us
collectively and how through this we are forgiven and set free to live life
to the full – with courage and strength.
As I start at the highest point and descend it reminds me that Jesus, God’s
own Son came down to earth for love of me and all of us.
As I cover the width of my body I feel His love wrapped around me,
surrounding me, encouraging me, strengthening me, enveloping me and all
that will take place in my life and the world today. Not a magic protection
layer but a recognition of His presence wherever and whatever takes
place.
May we be blessed – In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit. Amen.The Parish Magazine - February 2019 15 God and the Arts ‘The Presentation in the Temple’ by Guercino This month of February opens with the celebration of Candlemas. On the 2nd we recall that special moment of enlightenment when Mary and Joseph bring Jesus to the temple. They meet Simeon, who represents the waiting people of Israel – a nation looking for a better world now that the holy city was in the hands of Roman invaders. Simeon clung to the hope that God would come to bring freedom and a new life. When it came, there was no fanfare, no warning. St Luke in his Gospel tells us of an ordinary family from faraway Nazareth who go to Jerusalem to perform the religious duties for the firstborn son. But in their encounter with Simeon we see and hear something extraordinary. The scene is captured in this beautiful painting of 1623 that hangs in the National Gallery: ‘The Presentation in the Temple’ by Guercino. The artist Giovanni Barbieri had the curious nickname Guercino which means ‘Squinty.’ Why squinty, we are not sure, for all is clear and lyrical in this work. At the base of the canvas we see the turtle doves with two ducks, but the heart of the scene focuses on Mary, Joseph and Simeon linked by the Christ-Child. Notice the gentle hands of Mary, the strong, supportive hands of Joseph, and the outstretched, waiting hands of Simeon. He may be an old man, but he is ready to welcome the babe, who is offered as a sign of hope and light for the future. A candle burns at the right side to emphasise the light shed by this meeting of infancy and old age. St Luke by tradition was an artist himself, depicting the stories of his gospel with the deft strokes of a painter. In this scene the words of the evangelist and the skill of a 17th century Italian artist tell us that, at whatever age we are, we can also find light and hope as we offer our hands and our hearts to welcome the Christ-Child.

The Bible verse of 2018
A Bible app,YouVersion, has named Isaiah 41:10 as the most popular verse
of 2018.
That verse has been posted, bookmarked, and highlighted more times than
any other on the app (which has been downloaded more than 350,000
times around the world).
Isaiah 41:10 reads: ‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for
I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my
righteous right hand.’
The verse also came top in Chile, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Perus,
South Africa, Spain and the United States.
But in the UK, for 2018, we preferred Jeremiah 29:11: ‘For I know the plans I
have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to proper you and not to harm you, plans
to give you hope and a future.’

Marie Curie and The Great
Daffodil Appeal
Next month you will see a lot of daffodils
about - Marie Curie daffodils. It’s the charity’s
annual Great Daffodil Appeal, which runs in
March each year.
The appeal is urgently needed, for as the
charity explains, one in four people currently
don’t receive the care and support that they
need at the end of their life. And with the
population getting older; demand on the
charity’s services is set to increase.
Could you help?
Marie Curie is currently looking for volunteers to give two hours of
their time next month, to help hand out the daffodil pins in return for
donations. If you’ve got two hours to spare, then joining the Great
Daffodil Appeal is a good way to support people in real need.
Marie Curie has long cared for people with terminal cancer, but nowadays
the charity also cares for people with any terminal illness. That includes
dementia, heart or lung disease, and neurological conditions like motor
neurone disease.
Marie Curie has a range of services to help. These include Nurses that
give one-to-one expert care to people at home, nine hospices offering
inpatient and outpatient care, spiritual and bereavement support, and, a
free telephone support line. The charity also funds research and campaigns.
More details about volunteering at:www.mariecurie.org.uk/collect or call

The Parish Magazine - February 2019 19 Matthias the Apostle: the chosen one (24th February) Have you ever been in the position where someone is desperately needed – and you fit the bill perfectly? It is almost as if all your miscellaneous qualifications that never made much sense before now make PERFECT sense. And you sense that you have been chosen by God for the task…. If so, then Matthias is definitely the patron saint for you! Matthias came into the picture shortly after the suicide of Judas. The early church was missing an apostle, and so the remaining 11 apostles prayed for guidance on who to choose as a replacement for this key role. The qualifications for the job were specialised: the person had to have been a follower of Christ from his Baptism to his Ascension, and a witness of the Resurrection. There were two possibilities: Joseph Barsabas and Matthias. How to choose? Again, Matthias’ experience may mirror yours: the decision was out of his hands, and up to others. In this case, the apostles drew straws – and the ‘lot’ fell to Matthias. He had been chosen to replace Judas! The tragedy of Judas’ betrayal had led to an opportunity for service by Matthias – and he was well prepared for the task. Are you prepared for any task that God might suddenly open before you? Like the other apostles, Matthias had been in Jerusalem and had received the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and he went on to do a good job. It is said he preached the Good News first in Judea, and then maybe in Cappadocia and by the Caspian Sea. It is thought he was martyred by the axe or halberd, and his relics eventually ended up being taken to Rome by the empress Helen. Matthias is an encouragement to us to be faithful in small things - because you never know what the future might hold!
