Collect
O Lord, who hast taught us that all our doings without charity are nothing worth; Send thy Holy
Ghost, and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of charity, the very bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whosoever liveth is counted dead before thee; Grant this for thine only
Son Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.
MINSTER SUNDAY SCHOOL
Welcome to the Minster Sunday School and Crèche who meet during the 10.00 service.
Children and helpers, and any parents, who wish to do so, may follow the cross during the
Gradual hymn, and return just before Communion. The Sunday School and Crèche are available to visitors as well as to regular members of the congregation. If, however, you prefer to keep your children with you throughout the service, that is fine.

Almighty Father, whose Son was revealed in majesty before he suffered death upon the cross: give us grace to perceive his glory, that we may be strengthened to suffer with him and be changed into his likeness, from glory to glory; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Holy God, we see your glory in the face of Jesus Christ: may we who are partakers at his table reflect his life in word and deed, that all the world may know his power to change and save.
This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Receiving Holy Communion. If you normally receive communion in your own church you are welcome to receive communion here. If you don’t want to take communion but would like a blessing, please bring your service booklet with you to let the minister know.
The normal practice in York Minster is to receive the wafer into the hand. If you prefer not to drink from the common cup, please take the wafer only.
Gluten-free communion wafers are available at the communion station nearest the pulpit at the front left of the Nave. If you require a gluten-free communion wafer, please inform a Steward and make your way to the front of the Nave. When the time comes to receive communion, please ask the priest for a gluten-free wafer.

At its last meeting, Chapter agreed to publish a summary of its meetings, hence the following.
Chapter met on 20 February, reviewed the significant progress in implementing the strategy and discussed the next steps. Members also considered proposals for new internal and external signage and the ongoing development of a new lighting scheme. As we continue to work to manage our business successfully we reviewed the risk register and the programme for publication of the accounts including a summary document to enable us all to get to grips with how our finances work. We reviewed the results of research which reveals how cathedrals congregations are continuing to grow, particularly at weekday services and noted the gap in the
15 – 35 year old age range in our own congregations. We have agreed that our overarching aim is to invite everyone to share God’s love through our welcome, worship, learning and work and we considered a theological statement which will inform and shape our interpretation policy. Regular agenda items included HR and the development of our staff and volunteers, possibilities for the development of our buildings and a review of YMR progress. We noted the current advertisements for names for the Sees of Whitby and Selby and, closer to home, the appointments to officer posts by the York Minster Society of Change Ringers.

It is a group for those who would like to consider being Confirmed, but those who are Confirmed already are welcome as are those who don’t want to consider Confirmation yet. The age group we are looking for is youngsters between the ages of 11 and 13 though this is not a fixed rule. We will meet weekly until Easter (except for half term) beginning on Monday 10 th February at 6.30pm for an hour in the Consistory Court (the vestry). I have four people who have signed up already but there is room for more. I have a welcome letter and a plan of the meetings available if you send me an email I will send a letter to you. Let me know if you are interested in joining.

Confirmed, this is for you. This group will meet on Tuesday evenings 6.30pm – 8pm in the
Consistory Court (the vestry) beginning on Tuesday 4 know if you would like to join this group. I am going to limit the size of the group to between 12 and 15 people, those considering Confirmation will have priority and others are invited to join on a first come first serve basis.

Liverpool, and Chedworth Roman Villa and Dyrham Park in the South West. She has been leading the National Trust's flagship 'Spirit of Place' programme across the south-west region to help properties create distinctive experiences, and devised an approach to benchmarking and forecasting business growth that has since been adopted by other National Trust regions.

Exploring Zen Meditation – Again!
Those of you who were able to attend the introductory session on Zen meditation last November will no doubt be pleased to hear that Father Patrick Kundo Eastman Sensei, a Roman Catholic priest and authorised Zen teacher, is returning for another 24 hours in March. If you came in
November, please come again. If you are new to Zen meditation or entirely unfamiliar with it, please come and discover how to meditate simply by paying attention to the breath as an aid to the wordless and imageless prayer of contemplation. The sessions will take place on the evening of
Friday 14 th March 7.30-9.30pm and Saturday 15 th March 10.00am-4.00pm in the Large Conference
Room in Church House. There will be teaching about how to meditate; no previous experience is necessary. If you already meditate and have a mat and/or a cushion, please bring these with you.
Otherwise sitting will be on upright chairs. The sessions will be free but a contribution to the costs of Fr Patrick’s travelling expenses would be welcome according to means. Please bring something to contribute to a shared lunch (e.g. bread, biscuits, cheese, houmous, fruit etc.) on the
Saturday.
Yamada Roshi, a great Japanese Zen Master, said to all his Christian Students "I am not trying to make you a Buddhist, but to empty you in imitation of your Lord, Jesus Christ."
It would be helpful (but not imperative) to know whether you would like to come, in which case please e-mail Hilary Reynolds [ hilaryr@yorkminster.org
]. If you would like to talk further about
Zen meditation, please contact Chris Collingwood at [ christopherc@yorkminster.org
].

In the past 6 months i.e. up to end of Jan 2014 the Middlesbrough Food bank has fed 2312 people, of which 981 were children.
A recent story from last week:
Mum was claiming job seekers allowance, she was admitted to hospital seriously ill and so missed her sign on date and all benefits were stopped. Grandparents were caring for all 4 grandchildren on their pension and after a couple of weeks could not cope financially. They were referred to Foodbank, a food parcel, listening ear and signposting to community support grant and other sources of support put in place. Previously they had no support and had no idea of what was available to help them through this crisis period, and left overwhelmed by the support they had received via the
Foodbank.
Many thanks for ongoing support, Heather Black Development Officer.
There is a further opportunity at York Minster to support the work of the Foodbank in
Middlesbrough on the first four Sundays in Lent, 9 th , 16 th , 23 rd and 30 th March.
Food that has been requested is shown below on the list.
Long Life Milk
Long Life Fruit Juice
Tinned Fruit
500g Sugar
Breakfast Cereal
Tinned Vegetables
Tinned cooked meat.
Eg Spam/Corned beef/Ham
The Foodbank currently has a huge supply of beans, soup, pasta and packets, so these items are not required at present. Thank you.
We need your help, both with donating food and also particularly with delivery of the food to the Foodbank in Middlesbrough. The dates that delivery will take place are Tuesday 11 th
25 th March and 1st April, we arrive at the Food Bank around 11.00 a.m. If you would like further information, please contact either by telephone 01904 481225 or by email mary@djmhs.force9.co.uk
. Alternatively please do speak in person in the Minster on a
Sunday. Thank you David and Mary Smith

Renewal of the Minster Community Roll
The Minster Community elects a new Committee every three years, in a process that includes the election of Community representatives onto our Cathedral Council and York Deanery Synod.
The next elections will be carried out at the Community’s Annual Meeting on Thursday 22
May. Full details of the election process will be published well in advance in the Sunday Pewsheet, on the Community section of the Minster website and in the Minster Bulletin.
– the Minster Community Committee discusses issues raised by the Community, and offers comment and practical assistance to Chapter on a range of matters relating to the Minster’s mission. The Committee operates a highly-valued system of flexible sub-committees and working groups that together make a substantial contribution in supporting and building up many different aspects of the life of the Minster family.

– the Cathedral Council is a key part of the Minster’s governing body. It is a ‘brains trust’ of people connected in different ways to the Minster’s work, representing a wide range of local and regional interests and expertise. Members are appointed by the Archbishop, nominated by
Chapter and elected by the College of Canons and the Minster Community. Council has the power to request reports on any area of the Minster’s work, and its principal function is to advise
Chapter as a ‘critical friend’.
– the Deanery Synod is part of the internal governance structure of the Church of England. It consists of clergy and elected lay people drawn from every parish in our local deanery. The
Deanery Synod elects representatives to the York Diocesan Synod and to the national General
Synod. Significant matters of church policy are referred to Deanery Synod by the other Synods for consideration and comment. Deanery Synods are also a useful forum for the sharing of information between churches locally, and the development and encouragement of local church initiatives.
– the Minster Community Roll is our in-house electoral register. The current Roll (which dates from 2010) is being closed and replaced, so that the 2014 elections can be run with the benefit of reliably up-to-date names and contact details.
Everyone aged 16 and over who is a Minster worshipper, volunteer or member of staff
is warmly invited to join the Community Roll. To join the Roll, please complete one of the new Application Forms (which also contain important information about our Pastoral Network that will be launched at the Community’s Annual Meeting in May) and return it to: Chapter
Clerk, Church House, 10-14 Ogleforth, York, YO1 7JN. Application forms are available from our website ( http://www.yorkminster.org/get-involved/minstercommunity/spiritual/community-roll.html
), from the Minster Community table in the Chapter
House Vestibule on Sunday mornings, and also from the Minster Vestry and Church House
Reception.
Please note that you must complete one of the new Community Roll Application Forms and return it to the Chapter Clerk before Easter Day (Sunday 20 April) if you want to take part in the Minster’s 2014 elections.
A variety of activities have been planned to provide opportunities for spiritual growth during Lent.
1.
Lectio Divina (the prayerful reading of a passage of the Bible). On Wednesdays in
Lent from 12 March to 9 April at 11.00am and 3.00pm for 30 minutes in the Eastern Crypt,
Canons Chris and Michael will help people to listen to a passage of the Bible prayerfully in a group. This is a very ancient way of using the Bible and lies at the heart of the Benedictine tradition. These times have been deliberately chosen to fit in with the Lent Lunches in the
North Transept at 12.00pm on Wednesdays.
2.
Stations of the Cross. On Fridays during Lent at 11.30am. This is a time-honoured way of identifying with Jesus in his passion and death. Meditations at each station are interspersed with the singing of a hymn as those assembled go on a kind of pilgrimage around the various stations in the Minster.
3.
Lent Meditations and Compline sung by the Ebor Singers. In preparation for the performances of two St John Passions, one by Bob Chilcott, performed by the Chapter
House Choir on Saturday 5 April at 7.30pm, and the other by JS Bach, performed by the
Choir of York Minster on 12 April at 7.30pm, as well as a performance of the Crucifixion by
John Stainer, given by the Ebor Singers on Wednesday 16 April at 7.30pm, members of the

Chapter will lead meditations on the Passion Narrative in John’s Gospel in chapters 18 & 19 on Thursdays 6,13,20 March, 3, 10 April. Compline will be sung in the Quire afterwards by the Ebor Singers.
4.
Walking the Way of the Cross. Canon Chris Collingwood has written a prayer trail relating various parts of the Minster and their history to prayer. The trail begins at the
West End and traces the shape of the Minster in the form of the cross. This trail can be done in your own time either individually or in groups.
