August 2017

Dear friends,

By the time this letter goes to print, I expect that many of you will have been away for your summer holidays. Others may have taken a staycation this year and have been able to relax at home without traffic jams and airport queues. I hope you have all enjoyed your holiday and have come home feeling refreshed and renewed.

During this month (August) many regular activities of clubs, meetings and classes have also been taking a break, but we continue to meet at Christ Church to worship God every week – God doesn’t take holidays!

I was prompted to think of God’s timeless continuity this week when I was out in the garden (between showers). As I cleared away some vigorous weeds, I noticed that the shoots of some grape hyacinths were already poking through even though they won’t be showing flowers for another four or five months in the new year. God’s creation continues without any holiday break.

In many ways, this time of year seems to offer a fresh beginning, with the new academic year starting soon. This brings many young people to a significant crossroads in their life as they consider which path to follow for their future career, and we wish them all well.

If it seems like a new year, would it be a good time to make some new year’s resolutions? Our Wednesday morning House Group will recommence on 13 September, and we would be delighted to welcome new members to our fortnightly meetings. If you aren’t already involved, we are always glad to have more people on our stewards’ rota. Perhaps you would like to read a lesson during our worship? If so, do see Catherine Johnson to add your name to her list. Maybe you would like to bring along a friend or neighbour to morning worship one Sunday? – all are welcome in God’s house.

And now we are back in the newly painted Sanctuary, which is looking great. Perhaps, in our revitalised surroundings, we can apply a new fervour to our worship and witness together, continuing under God’s guidance as our predecessors have done for many years.

Yours in Christ,Sheila Blair

Marlow Lighthouse 2017 Jesus Rocks – Let His name run through Your Life

Marlow Lighthouse 2017 was amazingly our 13th year. We welcomed 460 children to Lighthouse with over 290 volunteers contributing to the week in so many ways. (Thank you so much!) Our aim is to give the children the opportunity to learn more about Jesus through teaching, crafts, games, sports, singing and drama.

Our theme was ‘Jesus Rocks! Let His name run through your life.’ Our focus was on Peter, an ordinary man whose life was totally changed when he met Jesus. Jesus became his best friend and helped him do wonderful things for God. Each day during our week, we focused on a word and a passage from the Bible.

Monday: Peter the Rock: Peter introduces himself as the fisherman, Simon. He tells how Jesus called him to follow him and eventually renamed him ‘Rock’ or Peter, changing his life. It’s all about CHANGE - John 1:42

Tuesday: Wise and foolish builders: Peter remembers a parable Jesus told about two men that built their houses on sand, not a good idea, and on rock, a much better plan! A faith based on something solid is the best approach; we need to LISTEN to what Jesus says to us - Matthew 7:24

Wednesday: Walking on water: Peter is out fishing with the other disciples and a storm blows up. Then they see Jesus walking towards them – on top of the water. But when Peter jumped overboard to be with his best friend he became frightened and began to sink. When worries overwhelm us, if we keep our eyes on Jesus we will be OK. Peter had to TRUST Jesus - Matthew 14:29

Thursday: Peter denies Jesus: At the Last Supper Jesus told Peter he would deny he knew him not once, not twice but three times – and Peter replied ‘never’! But that night Jesus was arrested and in the chaos and fear events overtook Peter and when people asked him he said he was nothing to do with Jesus. Like Peter, we mess things up but there is a happy ending – Jesus FORGIVES us all - Matthew 26:33

Friday: Breakfast on the beach: Jesus appears to the disciples on the beach after he died on the Cross. He forgives Peter for his denial and gives him the chance to express his love, setting him on his path as the leader of the new church. Peter had to BELIEVE that Jesus was alive! John 21:12

Christ Church Chat

Elvis!Thank you, David, for leading a wonderful Elvis service on 13 August, back in our newly painted sanctuary. For those who missed it, please enjoy the following prayer, written by Valerie:

Loving Father,We have been all shook up these last few weeks, but we are now back to normal and can rejoice that this morning we can contemplate the wonder of you in a freshly painted worship area. But wherever we are, whatever we are doing, we will feel better if we ensure that you are always on my mind and we surrender to you, Lord. We know that by following you, we will reach the promised land. As we think of you, we can say, there goes my everything. Heavenly Father, we ask you to be with David as he leads our worship today in his blue suede shoes.Amen

Please note that David our Minister is leading worship in Maidenhead on the first and second Sundays in October. This means a change to our normal pattern, as he is usually in Marlow on the second and fourth Sundays with Holy Communion on the second Sunday. This October, David will lead worship in Marlow on the third and fourth Sundays, our church meeting will be held on the third Sunday and Holy Communion will be on the fourth Sunday.

80th birthday partyWe all had a great time at the recent joint party for Helen, Brenda, Judith and Vic. The game of consequences was a particular hit. I was hoping to put some of the hilarious contributions in New Forum but sadly they just don’t work in print! (ed.)

Prayer BreakfastsThese will continue to take place from October on the first Saturday of each month at 9 am, usually in the Cornerstone Room. Please join us for an informal time of prayer and fellowship over a delicious breakfast of cereals, toast, pastries and fruit. It is a great start to the month!

‘Ride and Stride’ Saturday 9 SeptemberThe Buckinghamshire Historic Churches Trust is a non-denominational, independent charity that makes grants available to churches of all sorts for restoration and repair. A sponsored bicycle ride is organised as an annual event. Walkers can take part too. Sponsorship money paid to cyclists and walkers will be divided equally between the church/chapel chosen by the cyclists and walkers and by the Bucks Historic Churches Trust. If you would like details or sponsorship forms, please speak to Sheila Blair.

Marlow Carnival – Saturday 16 September As usual, your help in providing cakes, pies, sweets, jams, jellies, marmalade and other home produce for this year’s stall in the park would be appreciated. We will also be selling Alan Ball’s lovely paintings. We need help with setting up, running and taking down the stall. Proceeds from our stall will go to this year’s Harvest charity. This is an opportunity to publicise what goes on at Christ Church so we will be giving out Messy Church fliers and information about our concerts. We will also have face painting and some other children’s activities. Please let Jean know if you can help in any way.

Harvest Festival Service – Sunday 24 SeptemberChurches Together in Marlow Harvest Supper – Friday 6 OctoberWe invite people to bring fruit and vegetables with them to the Harvest Service on Sunday 24 September. The produce will be sold off informally after the service in aid of our Harvest charity. Please support the CTM Harvest Supper on Friday 6 October to be held at Newfield Community Church at 7.30 pm. Admission to the CTM Supper is by ticket £5 bought in advance. Tickets available from Jean or Helen nearer the time.

Reform – the magazine of the URCPlease see Judith Inman by 22 October to pay your renewal. New subscribers please let her know by the same date. Sample copies are available on table in foyer.

Recital and ‘bring and share’ lunch on Sunday 29 OctoberAs you may be aware, there is a plan to organise a walk or lunch or other informal event following each of our joint M&M services. The Maidenhead congregation will be joining us for worship on the fifth Sunday of October, so we are planning a joint ‘bring and share’ lunch in the Wessex Hall. Ms Fran Stafford will give a short vocal recital immediately after the service, i.e. between worship and lunch. Some of you will remember that Fran has been helping out by playing the organ for us recently. Here is an opportunity for you to enjoy her vocal talent! We do hope you will come and support this event and – bring your friends!

Bernard LaxContinuing our occasional ‘Meet the Congregation’ seriesLast week George kindly invited Bernard and me to lunch, and over a delightful meal of tabbouleh and cherry pie Bernard was persuaded to revisit the highlights of his interesting life. So here they are for you to read and enjoy. Bernard was born in Yorkshire on 15 September 1924. His childhood was spent partly in Yorkshire and partly in Scotland. His mother, a schoolteacher all her life, was from Yorkshire. His father, a Yorkshireman who worked for a time in Scotland, was an engineer who built and maintained anything that moved, and he also found work in the Yorkshire mining industry. Bernard had two older sisters, Evelyn and Margaret. Bernard’s earliest memory is of walking the half mile to elementary school, holding Evelyn’s hand. Uphill going and downhill back. Evelyn, now 98, is still living in Yorkshire.At the age of 15, on the outbreak of war, Bernard began a two-year apprenticeship with the RAF, stationed first at Halton then at Cranwell, Lincs. By 1941 he was a fully qualified airman. There followed a further period of flying training which took him via Wales to Blackpool, Yorkshire and Scotland, and finally six wonderful months in the West Indies, where he says there was a good partnership between the British (with the knowhow) and the Americans (with the material). Bernard has vivid memories of his arduous journey to Nassau, capital of the Bahamas, which took a circuitous route – ship to Norfolk, Virginia, then north to Canada to be kitted out, then a lengthy train journey south through the blackout to Miami. He was in Nassau for six months, at a time when the Duke of Windsor was Governor of the Bahamas. The Duke was distant, but Mrs Simpson could often be seen helping at the airmen’s club. Bernard met her on several occasions and describes her as a charming lady who was popular with the servicemen because of her concern for their welfare – indeed it was down to Mrs Simpson that the airmen’s club existed. She thought it scandalous there was nowhere the airmen could go for a drink and had therefore pushed to get it set up. After the training in Nassau, Bernard flew back to England – his first transatlantic flight – eight hours and rather monotonous. On returning to the UK he was stationed in South Wales from where he flew operational sorties over the Channel, flying as far as the Spanish border. His squadron was subsequently relocated to Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides, taking part in bombing campaigns over Germany. He says he still doesn’t really know why he was stationed in the Outer Hebrides. The sorties from there – eight to ten hours, flying over Danish waters – were long and dangerous. His greatest achievement during the war? Managing to stay alive. The airmen developed an ‘attitude’ and just got on with their job.

8

Bernard was 21 when the war ended. It was while he was in Blackpool during the war that he had met Margaret, a Glaswegian. They were married in the Church of Scotland in Glasgow about a month before the end of the war. After the war, Bernard worked for six or seven years in Scotland and went with Margaret to live with Bessie, Margaret’s sister, and her husband Sandy at Burghead, a ‘wee place’ near RAF Kinloss. It was during this time that their children Elspeth and Iain were born. However, the focus of Bernard’s career shifted to the MoD in London with tours to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and extended trips to Australia. The family moved to quarters in Medmenham, and he and Margaret got to know the Marlow area, their children attending local schools, Great Marlow and Borlase. Of all the places he visited, Bernard was especially fond of Singapore. A Spitfire was parked just outside the door of his office, and it was during his second tour there that he was promoted from Squadron Leader to Wing Commander, his final rank. Bernard stayed with the RAF until retirement in his late fifties, working mainly in training and deployment. What was the best place to work? ‘I enjoyed most places, but most of all I enjoyed Scotland. The work there was good. I was left to my own initiative.’You might think this would be the end of the story, but no! On retirement from the RAF, Bernard answered an ad in a newspaper he picked up completely by chance and became bursar of four British schools in the Netherlands. This meant a big change for him and Margaret, but they enjoyed life in Holland and both learnt to speak Dutch. In addition to the demands of his work in the schools, Bernard found time to act as a volunteer guide to Americans visiting war cemeteries in the Netherlands, Belgium and

9

Germany. He says it was rewarding to help them locate the graves of relatives, and with his dignified and respectful demeanour, I think he must have been very good at it. After eleven years though, it was time to return to Marlow, an area he and his wife knew and liked. Sadly, Margaret died not long after their return. Bernard’s parents were Church of England and Bernard was baptised in the Church of England. He attended Methodist church for a few years as a child in Yorkshire. But on retirement to Marlow, it seemed natural to join Christ Church and to serve for a time as an elder and minute secretary during Stanley Jones’s ministry (1994-2001). Together with Roy Isaac, Bernard also turned his hand to lighting up the stained-glass windows which (before the redevelopment) could be seen from the road. These days, Bernard helps to look after his daughter Elspeth, acting also as telephone back-up in the charity she set up in 1984, PiXiE, the first ever support group for sufferers of Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum. He is proud of her achievements with this charity – it has helped heighten awareness of this rare condition among the medical community and the general public, and (to date) the information it provides about eye problems has helped to save 29 people’s sight. On two occasions Bernard was in the US with his daughter attending the Three Amigos charities event and golf tournament. The president of these events was President George Bush, to whom Bernard was introduced on both occasions. Looking back on his life, Bernard has no regrets – though (like most of us) he says he might do things differently if he had known then what he knows now. He remains interested in what is going on around him, he watches the news and documentaries, he prays for peace and equality. He also loves comedy programmes! He wishes Elspeth enjoyed better health and that there were more people to help her, but he is immensely grateful to the friends and neighbours who do help when she needs it. What is Bernard’s top priority for Christ Church? To be strong and live forever. And the favourite hymn he has chosen is ‘For All the Saints’.Jean Ashford

Treasurer’s Report

It is some time since I gave you an update on the weekly offertory, so here it is:Weekly Offerings

2017 to 30th JulyEnvelopes/Bank: £8,421Loose cash: £ 783Total: £9,2042016 for comparison: £9,371 Down £167 (1.8%) year on year

As you can see, the figures are pretty similar to the same point last year, with a marginal decrease. Up to the end of May the numbers actually showed a slight increase: giving can vary significantly from week to week as people come and go. But if you are away for a while, do remember that our costs don’t stop!

Maintenance work

On the subject of costs, we have paid some big bills recently for the redecoration work that has been done both externally (all outside paintwork) and in the worship area itself. The big numbers are (including VAT where applicable):

External painting: £7,500 Scaffolding inside: £2,376 Interior painting: £3,885

So, in all, close to £14,000. It’s a lot of money but we do need to keep the building looking nice, not to mention keeping it weatherproof. The outside is done every 4-5 years and the interior of the worship area had not been painted since Project Cornerstone in 2002, so that’s 15 years.

Good cause box

Our collection for the Marlow Refugee Action Group brought in £226.35 which, with the addition of church “matching”, made a total for them of £276.35.

In March/April we raised money for Leprosy Mission. That was less well supported, the total including matching was only £62. And May/June donations to Christian Aid through this route were virtually nil: I guess you feel you already support them in other ways. But please don’t forget our good causes!

Luther country – my pilgrimage May 2017

(continuing my pilgrimage notes from the last issue …)

I sat for a long time in St Mary’s church in Wittenberg, gazing at the Cranach altar, a triptych featuring infant baptism, the Last Supper and confession or penance (the three true sacraments according to Luther) and beneath it the crucifixion scene with Luther preaching to the people. This Last Supper is unusual in that it is depicted at a round table – so no position at the table is more important than another – all are equal before God. Luther appears standing to the right of the table, receiving the chalice from one of the apostles. For a small donation, you can have your own face pasted in and the revised picture mailed to you! It was tempting …

Another Cranach painting in St Mary’s made a big impression on me, the Epitaph to Paul Eber, a local dignitary. Based on the parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), in it Luther and Melanchthon and other reformers are working on one side of a very healthy-looking vineyard with a well and plenty of water, but on the other side the workers are toiling in a vineyard that seems to be shrivelling up. The pope stands at the front of the stricken vineyard demanding more payment because his side has been tending the vineyard for longer, even though it is dying. The Protestant side (including the Eber family of course) are not asking for payment, they have only just started working. At the top of the picture two of the Pope’s workers are carting manure from their side to the reformers’ side, suggesting that the Protestant church is built on many centuries of Catholic labours. The picture is now seen less as a polemic against the Catholics and more as an appeal to all strands of Christianity to unite and work together for the glory of God.

It seems incredible to me that these magnificent works of art, still gloriously fresh and colourful and relevant, were painted nearly 500 years ago. They have been in that church since around 1560.

Further on up the street we came to the Lutherhaus, originally a monastery and subsequently Luther’s home for 30 years and where he kept open house for family,

13

friends, students, former monks who had left their religious orders and other visitors – together with servants there were often 40 people living there. It is now a big Reformation museum and for at least an hour we were all absorbed in documents and artefacts of all kinds, transporting us back to the 16th century. One letter written to the emperor Charles V in 1521 in which Luther explained why he could not recant had come to light in 1906 and was sold at auction to JP Morgan but subsequently passed to the museum. We saw the table at which Luther would sit in the evenings, talking with his visitors. Our guide told us that we know more about Luther than about any other 16th century person and we also know about his friendly and generous nature. That’s because after about 1526 students started to write down the conversations that happened during the evenings at this table – and thus we have the ‘Table Talks’. We also learnt a bit about his wife, the ex-nun Katharina von Bora, the special position she held in the household and the very nice things Luther had to say about her, his ‘morning star’, for whom he would not exchange France or Venice.

Second stop Eisleben – the small town where Luther was born and also where he died. Here we visited the birthplace, where unfortunately not much is authentic, but I did love the swan sculpture, which is a reference to the Czech reformer Hus, burnt at the stake in 1415. The name Hus apparently means goose in Czech and it is said that when Hus was asked to recant his teachings his response was ‘You are now going to burn a goose, but in a century, you will have a swan which you can neither roast nor boil’. Hus became a hero to Luther and many other reformers – he preached the main Reformation themes a century before Luther’s 95 theses. After reading Hus’s sermons as a monk, Luther wrote: ‘I was overwhelmed with astonishment, I could not understand for what cause they had burnt so great a man, who explained the Scriptures with such gravity and skill.’ Luther is often portrayed in art with a swan.

In Eisleben we also visited the church of St Peter and St Paul where Luther was christened when he was one day old. It is now a beautiful Baptism Centre (Taufzentrum). Here we had the first of our three acts of worship. It was evening and we were all tired but we raised the roof with ‘Ein fester Burg’ (in English!) Our guide told us that, in common with many small towns in the former GDR, the population of Eisleben is shrinking and the declining congregations have to rotate around the different churches, worshipping in a different church each week.

Third stop Wartburg Castle. A spectacular site and a bit of a tourist trap but important to see the place where Luther spent a year under the protection of the electoral prince Frederick the Wise, and the room where he translated the New Testament into German. Not the first German New Testament, but the first translated direct from the Hebrew and ancient Greek. This he completed in a matter of ten weeks and it was first published in 1522. (The Old Testament followed in 1534.)(to be continued …)
