Dear Friends

 

The Christmas decorations are now down and we have started a New Year which I hope will bring a new Rector.

 

In the absence of the rector many jobs have been re-allocated.  One of these is taking the Holy Communion to the housebound and the sick.  The Lay Worship assistants, Mo Best, Liz Foster, Gill Ogier and myself, have undertaken this work which we find very rewarding.  For those who are unable to get to church, temporarily or permanently, this can lead to a sense of isolation from an important aspect of their spiritual life.  We have received a very warm welcome in their homes as they realise that they do not have to forgo what is an essential and comforting part of their spiritual life – Holy Communion.  The bread and wine are consecrated by a priest at a benefice service and we are able to administer it as part of a simple short service, sitting relaxed in their home either alone or with friends.  It is a privilege to be able to offer this service and if you would like to receive communion in your own home then please contact any of the Lay Worship Assistants or come direct to me on 01984 640767.

 

With very best wishes

 

Margaret Cook

FROM THE METHODISTS

 

12 Summerland Avenue

February 2012

My Dear Friends,

 

As I turn my mind to another letter, I greet you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in this new year!  As I write, we are only just walking into January, and the year is still young.  I wonder how many of us have to scratch our heads to even remember the passing of 2011 which was an emotional time for some, routine for others and, yet, there is a whole new year standing unused in front of us.

 

There are one hundred statues on Crosby beach near Liverpool.  They are the cast iron mould of the sculptor, Andrew Gormley – one mould, one hundred copies.  They stand looking out to sea, erected on cast iron plinths set at differing heights.  They stretch for 300 kms along the beach and for 100 kms out to sea.  They are intended to represent emigration.  The sculpture is entitled ‘sadness and hope’.  Sadness perhaps at what is being left behind and hope for the future.  Many people over the years have left Liverpool for new lives.  Similarly, there have been many of us who have left familiar places to come to live in West Somerset, maybe to be near family or friends and many of us will have wished for something of the past to be present in this new year.  Sadly, not always possible……… the years have moved on, and our responsibility is to give thanks for what is, rather than what might have been. 

 

I pranged my car this afternoon!  I am now waiting for the owner of the other damaged car to come and claim the money it will cost to mend it.  I was trying to be too clever, parking outside my house!  Sometimes I wish I could turn the clock back  [no prang, no big bill]!  We need to give thanks for today because of yesterday:  after all, it is the events of yesterday which have brought us to where we are today.

 

So, let us rejoice and sing!  Alleluia to Christ the King.  Alleluia Amen!!!

 

God bless

Margaret Morris

THE RECTOR – VACANCY UPDATE

By the time this magazine is distributed and being read, the closing date for applications will have occurred.

 

All being well, it has been planned to hold interviews on 3 February 2012.  Short listed applicants will be invited to come to the benefice on 2 February to have the opportunity to be taken round all the churches during the day.  In the evening at 7.00 pm there will be a welcoming gathering at the Church Room, Old Cleeve, when wine and nibbles will be provided.

 

It is hoped that as many people as possible within the benefice will come to meet the applicants.

 

Notices will be given out in all the churches to update parishioners on 22 and 29 January, but otherwise please contact a churchwarden to ascertain the situation.

FELLOWSHIP GROUP

The next meeting will be on Monday 13 February.  The theme of this meeting will be healing – continuing from the meeting in January.  That does not mean that if you were unable to attend in January you can’t join in February. On Monday 27 February the Fellowship Group will combine with the Lent Course and will study the Gospel of St John.  Through Lent the meetings will be weekly.   Therefore the other meetings will be on Monday 5, 12, 19 and 26 March.  There will be no meeting in Holy Week.  All meetings will start at 7.00 pm and will be held at Alcudia, Bilbrook Lane, Bilbrook.  It is hoped that many will attend.

 

CELEBRATING OUR COMMON HUMANITY

 

I am surprised at how caught up I became in the Stephen Lawrence case which offered some closure to his family with the conviction of two of his killers at the turn of the year. I was a parish priest in South London at the time of Stephen’s murder and was Vicar of a parish in Surrey Docks in which racism was never too far from the surface – indeed for some black members of our congregation exposure to racism was a daily occurrence.

 

Some commentators have suggested that the Lawrence case marked a watershed for race relations in this country. ‘Britain’, said one, ‘is a much more tolerant and open country. We have new laws to prevent the stirring of racial hatred and our public institutions are better representative of and responsive to all the people.’ It is certainly true that the determination of Doreen Lawrence to get justice for her son did lead to a root and branch review of policing through the McPherson Inquiry and that has seen some change for good.

 

However, as Doreen Lawrence herself has said, ‘The fact is that racism and racist attacks are still happening in this country and the police should not use my son’s name to say that we can move on.’ Around the week that Stephen’s trial concluded a young Indian, Anuj Bidve, was shot and killed on the streets of Salford and a young black footballer from Oldham was racially abused by an opposing supporter at Liverpool’s ground.

 

Why do I raise all of this now? At the beginning of February the church celebrates the Feast of Candlemas and we hear again the prophetic message of Simeon who declares that Jesus is to be a light for all the nations – Jews and Gentiles. It is a radical message that requires all of us, in the words of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, ‘to see God’s image in the one who is not in our image.’

 

As the Bosnian born theologian, Miroslav Volf says in his award winning book, ‘Exclusion and Embrace’, it may not be too much to claim that the future of our world will depend on how we deal with identity and difference. So, on the feast of Candlemas let us light a candle in celebration of our common humanity.

CALLING ALL ST ANDREW’S FLOWER ARRANGERS AND CLEANERS

 

We have organised our annual coffee morning for 10.30 am on Tuesday 6 March at Crickets, 1 Church Close, Old Cleeve.

 

We hope you will be able to join us and have a chat about our plans for 2012.

 

New members of the teams are always welcome.  If you would like to know more please contact Margaret on 01984 640767 or Jac on 01984 640578.

 

PARISH WALKS

 

I was pleased that nine people came to the meeting to discuss the future of the parish walks, particularly as the weather was so awful and another three couldn’t come because of illness.  It is gratifying to know that there is still enthusiasm for continuing these walks.

 

It was decided to have eight walks in the year beginning in March.  They will all be on the third Sunday of the month so as not to clash with the fortnightly lunches at the Lysaght Club.  We had volunteers to lead the eight walks but because several people who have previously led walks are unable to commit themselves (myself included) we do not have any reserves.  If you feel you could lead a walk, possibly at short notice, I would like to hear from you.

 

At the time of writing the provisional programme includes three consecutive sections of the MacMillan Way in July, August and September, a walk near Wimbleball Lake in May, round Clatworthy reservoir in June and a walk from Dunster to the beach in October.  The full programme will soon be available on cards and details of each walk will appear in the current magazine with an indication of the length and grade of each walk.  It is anticipated that there will not be anything too strenuous so please do join us.  We would like to see more people.

 

Although known as ‘parish walks’ they are by no means exclusive to church members.  Everyone is very welcome including well-behaved dogs.  Nor was it ever intended that the walks should be within the parish though we try not to travel to the starting point.  I think the name arose when the walks were initiated by some church members over twenty years ago as a means of promoting fellowship and to cater for people who would not walk in the countryside on their own.  So please put the dates in your diary now, and remember, walking is the best form of exercise!

*      SAVE MONEY ON DOMESTIC HEATING OIL:

 

The Community Council for Somerset’s (CCS) Somerset Community Oil Scheme has got off to a flying start, with three local community co-ordinators and over 80 members in place, and over 75% of the members already enjoying the benefits of bulk-buying domestic heating oil. Lots of people have asked us about the price of the oil so here’s what’s happened so far:-

 

·                     In September, we ordered 3,500 litres for our first couple of members. They paid 53.97p per litre, compared to an average price that day of 57.5p per litre.

·                     In October, we ordered 12,100 litres for 14 members, who paid 53.79p per litre compared to an average price that day of 59p per litre.

·                     In November, we ordered 39,300 litres for 47 members, who paid 55.5p per litre compared with an average price that day of 61.5p per litre.

 

Between them these members have saved a massive £2,961.58. The scheme is open to anyone; individuals, schools, churches, community organisations and business can all join.

 

To join simply request a membership form from CCS by calling 01823 331222, emailing oil@somersetrcc.org.uk or apply via the CCS website www.somersetrcc.org.uk/oil

RHUBARB AND ORANGE FLAN

 

When I was in Leicestershire last summer I was given this flan which I enjoyed very much.  I know it is not the rhubarb season but when it is I probably will not have enough room to include the recipe.

 

8 oz shortcrust pastry

2 eggs

8 oz caster sugar

pinch salt

Finely grated rind of one orange

1 oz flour

2 lb rhubarb

I oz butter

A little extra caster sugar

Lightly whipped cream or custard to serve

 

1.                                                                                                                    Roll out pastry and line 9″ flan dish.

2.                                                                                                                    Beat eggs well, gradually adding caster sugar, salt and orange rind.

3.                                                                                                                    Fold in the flour.

4.                                                                                                                    Cut rhubarb in small pieces and place in bottom of flan case.

5.                                                                                                                    Pour mixture over and dot with butter.

6.                                                                                                                    Cook in a hot oven (220°) for 15 minutes and at 180° for a further 30 minutes.

“Daddy, what’s that?” said the little boy, looking up from their pew at the memorial plaque on the wall.  “That’s in memory of all the brave men who died in the services.”

 

The little boy scanned the long list of names and asked: “Did they die in the morning or evening services?”

Old Cleeve “Open Gardens” will have a new format this year, due to the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations taking place over the Bank Holiday weekend at the beginning of June.

 

Open Gardens will be held on the Bank Holiday Monday 7 May.  Gardens will be open as usual from 11.00 am until 5.00 pm, with tea/coffee, cake and light lunches available in the Community Hall.  We hope to have a plant and book stall in two of the gardens, but there will be no stalls in the church room as previous years.  Your help is needed please to donate plants and books for this event.  Please contact me if you have books to donate as we can probably find room to store them until May.  When you divide or take cuttings from your plants please do an extra pot for us.  Further information as to where to deliver your plants will be given nearer the time.

 

On the weekend of 29-30 September we will be holding our “Flower Festival” event in the church over the two days and there will be stalls and light refreshments in the church room.  We shall need your help please for the Bric-a-Brac and cake stalls, more news later.

 

The main reason for dividing the Open Gardens event is to try and ease the load on the helpers, as each year becomes more difficult to find volunteers to cover the many tasks that need to be done.  These events are very important in the life of the church as the funds are needed to pay our Parish Share to the Diocese of Bath and Wells.  Our contribution is about £20,000 per annum and goes towards the salary for our Rector.

 

Please put these dates in your diary and help us in these hard financial times to keep the churches open in our parish.

 

Many thanks

NEWS FROM THE PARISH COUNCIL

 

Very short item this month as my computer was 'hacked' into on 4 January.

 

The familiar things will once again be cropping up at the meetings - potholes, footpaths, and planning applications (one of these arrived on Christmas Eve), but the Parish Council is here to try to help with all manner of problems, a phone call or email is the first step or please speak to any Parish Councillor - all their names are on the seven notice boards throughout the Parish.

 

The Parish Council will have held their first meeting of 2012 by the time you read this, but the next meeting will be held on 27 February at 7.00 pm in Roadwater Village Hall.

SHIBASHI

 

Tai Chi Chigong Shibashi is a Qigong that is practiced to generate

Qi in the limbs. 

It consists of 18 gentle movements, which are easy to learn and practice. 

The exercise is gentle with slow, flowing movements, which can be

 performed either sitting down or standing up.

Shibashi aids concentration, relaxation, co-ordination and balance.

 

It is easy, gentle and fun!

 

Classes held in The Lysaght Hall, Old Cleeve  

Mondays at 4.00 pm.

 

Next Course commences on 20 February 2012
