“I have come that you may have life – in all its abundance.” John 10:10 LENT 1 – 14 FEBRUARY First Sunday in Lent: The temptations of Christ in the wilderness are put into context in today’s readings. How did Jesus respond to the Devil? What disguise does the Devil adopt in today’s hectic, materialistic, hedonistic world? How do we sense God’s presence within us? Sentence of the day: Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him. Luke 4:8 
Prayer of the day: Today we pray for God’s guidance in everyday life. O saving God, who led your people through the wilderness and brought them to the promised land: so guide us that, following our Saviour, we may walk through the wilderness of this world and be brought to the glory of the world which is to come; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. News: It’s taken a while, but the newPurple Vestments are now in place, thanks to a long-standing and fine donation from Lawrie Hodgson. These will be dedicated on Lent 3 when we hope the creators of these beautiful additions to the Fabrics and Furnishings of St Dunstan’s will be with us at our 9.30 am service. Donation to Restoration Fund: Andrew Powell has given a generous donation towards this fund in memory of his mother, Judith Powell, who was kindergarten assistant to Dorothy Cornish at St Dunstan’s from 1968 to the early 1990’s. Andrew writes: “Although she retired many years ago she still proudly regarded herself as a retired kindergarten assistant. It is possible that some of the children she worked with would now be in their 30's and 40's and might now have their own children at the kindergarten. My mother was always pleased to point out that amongst the children she looked after were those of the then local Barry Humphries.I have noticed that this is the 70th anniversary of the kindergarten. You may be interested that when my mother started at St Dunstan's she became the first kindergarten assistant, in what was then called the Anglican Free Kindergartens, to join the union available at the time, to assistants - the Miscellaneous Workers Union setting a trend for other assistants in other Anglican kindergartens to follow. I hope the donation, in memory of my mother's time at St Dunstan's, is useful to you; and that you may make mention of her in your newsletter, in case anyone recognizes her name”. I’ve assured Andrew that several parishioners remember his mother, and that his donation in memory of her is greatly appreciated. By all accounts, she was a lovely person. PRAYERS IN OUR HEARTS AND ON OUR MINDS: We pray for the millions of people world-wide seeking refuge from the violence and oppression of their everyday circumstances, and in particular today, for those caught is Syria with no safety in sight. We pray for the members of the Incumbency Committee, especially John, Maxine and Sally, and for the fruitfulness of its work in identifying a priest for appointment as vicar of this parish. Bountiful God, give to this parish a faithful pastor who will faithfully speak your word and minister your sacraments; an encourager who will equip your people for ministry and enable us to fulfill our calling. Give to those who will choose, wisdom, discernment and patience, and to us give warm and generous hearts, for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen. Prayer at the time of choosing an incumbent (APBA p.212) We pray for those on our Parish Prayer List: Magda, Luke, Peta, Lisa, Joan P, Mary C, Joelle, Paul, Wesley, Enid; Bill, Pheobe, Peter and Jeffrey, Jo and Darren, Lisa and Geoff, Lois, Anna, Fiona, Antony, Samuel and family, Andrew, Hilary, Anne, Asher, Barbara, Geraldine & Mervyn, Sandie, Margo, Ian, Thelma, Jane, Norma.

In calling us to be disciples—to follow Jesus—Ash Wednesday and the First Sunday of Lent have invited us to join Jesus on his path to the cross, a journey set in motion by the rejection of God in the first garden and brought to a crescendo by the betrayal in another garden. The readings will remind us of the journey of our forebears in the faith who when they heard the call became participants in God’s plan of salvation. We are their children and we continue the journey on which they embarked. We journey in company with Jesus, we stay close and we listen to him! Today we are taken to the “mountain top”! The appointed lections are: Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18; Psalm 27 or 99:1-7, 9; Philippians 3:17—4:1; Luke 9:28-36.
