THE SEARCH FOR A NEW VICAR GOES ON!

We have been in a vacancy period for a year now and are still searching for the right person to lead the three Churches in our benefice. The Archbishop of Canterbury’s remarks on Radio 4’s Today programme on New Year’s Eve on the need for good vicars in our parishes were therefore of particular interest. The Archbishop commented that where there were good vicars, there you would find growing churches.

Most people would agree that in any organisation good leadership is essential and those responsible for drawing up the job description for our new vicar have thought long and hard about the essential and desirable requirements for the post. The expectations are high, (some have been heard to remark that only the Archangel Gabriel could fulfil them all), because of course we all want a vicar that is “good “. It is, of course, important to have high expectations but also to realise that no vicar can on his own make a church “grow”.

There are important questions to be asked about what we might mean by growth. Are we just expecting more people to turn up to Sunday Worship, i.e. numerical growth? Are we expecting a deepening of the spiritual life of the existing congregation? Maybe its different sorts of ministries for different age groups that we are after, or maybe we are thinking about reaching out more into our local communities and the wider community to bring the church into discussion with issues of justice in our society.

If we want growth it might help us to look at what we perceive as vibrant churches but alongside this we realise that every Church in every Parish finds itself in a unique situation, so that what works for some church communities may not be the way forward in other places. There has to a process of discernment in any Church about how God is calling us to serve the people and the places in which we find ourselves.

3

The first question that the Church community must ask is, given the resources we have how can we be faithful to the Gospel here in Warmley, in Bitton and in Syston? How can be provide a distinctive voice in the communities of which we are apart?

This doesn’t all depend on having a good vicar, although someone to lead these discussions is of course essential. It depends also on each person associated with the Church asking themselves, what are my gifts and talents, how can I serve God alongside others , who may be very different from me and have different views. How can I work with others in the church so that together we can address the needs of the community, give voice to authentic worship and affirm and enable individuals to live a Christ centred life.

Of course in order to discuss these things we have to meet together and so I would encourage you to determine this Lent to join a group of others and share your thoughts and ideas about how we might grow as Christians and as Christ’s Church. Details of these courses will be published shortly. It would be encouraging for a new vicar when he /she comes to find church members who are willing to learn and grow together.

WARMLEY WARBLINGS

We were hoping to be able to bring you good news to start off the New Year but unfortunately, we are unable to do this and have news of more bereavements bringing much sadness. We have news of the death of Alec Roberts, our older readers will remember his father Frank’s bakers shop in Tower Road, where, there are now houses. In years gone by, Alec was the organist at Fishponds Methodist Church. He was a regular subscriber to this magazine which he bought to keep up to date with the local news. We remember at this sad time his wife and family.

We are sad to report the death of Arthur Lees and remember in our prayers his wife Phyllis and sons John and David and their families. Arthur and Phyllis had been married for over 70 years. During the second world war, Arthur commanded an artillery battery tasked with shooting down V1 bombs. Following the war, he worked in the printing industry and did a lot of travelling abroad and in his spare time, was a keen gardener and golfer and a big fan of ‘prime ministers question time’. When he retired he said he was pleased to recognize that he had been drawing his pension longer than he had paid into it!! He kept abreast of trends in technology, he had a flat screen TV and while in his nineties one of his sons bought him an iphone! He was chairman of Warmley Community Centre well into his nineties. To all of the above, we send our love, sympathy and prayers.

At last, some good news! We send congratulations to Tim and Karen Mayo’s daughter Lucy and Ben on the occasion of their marriage. The family travelled to Sameon in the French Alps for the wedding. Our best wishes go to Lucy and Ben for their future.

We are delighted to congratulate Terry Whittock as he celebrates his 80th birthday, a much welcome change from receiving our get well wishes in recent weeks.

FEBRUARY GARDENING

In memory of Robert James Allen 29th December 1955-4th January 2014

ROBERT JAMES ALLEN

Robert was born in Longlevens, Gloucester, to Rex and Muriel, a happy little boy with amazing blue eyes and blonde curly hair, and a look he tried to recreate in his twenties with a Kevin Keegan perm! Robert was always determined and defied doctors by walking after they told his parents he wouldn’t. Robert was joined 6 years later by his sister Wendy, whom he was very close to, shortly afterwards aged 7 the Allen family moved to their current home in Warmley. It was whilst spending time with his grandfather Harry, that Robert’s love of gardening developed.

Educated at Warmley School where his grandfather Lionel was caretaker, then Kingsfield Grammar, he left school and started work as a gardener at Glenside hospital before studying Commercial Horticulture at Pershore College, Worcestershire. He also spent time working in Mason’s nursery, he returned to Bristol where he worked at Spingfield Spray (later Bath Flower Company) for 25 years. Made redundant in 2003, Robert worked at Fonthill garden centre, and it was whilst working here that he started his monthly garden article for our church magazine. Robert next worked for Calder Roofing after being introduced by good friend and neighbour Lee, a complete change to the horticultural background he was used to but, as with everything he did, Robert put his all into it. Robert enjoyed watching football and was a huge Bristol Rovers fan. He also rang the bells at St Barnabas and with his fellow campanologists toured the country ringing the bells in churches and cathedrals. Robert met his wife Wendy while playing badminton at Warmley community centre and they married in May 1986, they had 3 beautiful daughters, Alanna, Emily and Hannah. Robert was very proud of his family and their achievements. He had recently seen Alanna and Emily move into their own homes and had attended the graduation of Hannah and seen her start her new job and was looking forward to Alanna and Reubens wedding. His other love was his dogs, he and Wendy loved nothing more than country walks which usually involved a pub, also taking the dogs to St Hilary Cornwall, his favourite holiday destination and a place he always hoped to live. Robert was kind, caring, thoughtful and very hard working, but was also mischievous and he loved winding people up particularly his parents. There are many more stories to be told about his life the places he visited and the people he met. There is so much to be thankful for in Robert’s life and I’m sure we will all have many happy memories to treasure.

TREASURER WANTED

We are urgently seeking someone to work with Leslie and take over as treasurer by April 14th 2014. Leslie has been told by the Diocese that as a Licensed Lay Minister he has to stand down as treasurer, so a new treasurer is needed, ideally, by the time of the annual parish meeting (APM). Leslie kindly stepped into the breach as a temporary measure only, after the death of John Nye and has worked hard to simplify the finances and make them straightforward. He has offered to support the new treasurer as he or she becomes familiar with the job.

BABES IN THE WOOD

Like over 1,000 other people, Pam and I went to see the pantomime ‘Babes In The Wood’, performed by Warmley Players recently. It was a wonderful show of family entertainment performed with enthusiasm and professionalism performed by a group of talented amateur actors. With excellent scenery, lighting and superb musical accompaniment, we were treated to a really enjoyable evening. While everyone taking part performed really well, the performances of Tim Mayo as ‘Mrs Piper’ and John Sibley as ‘Sir Silas Arrogant, the Sherriff of Nottingham’ were outstanding

We look forward to their next production, ‘We’re All At Sea’ on 27th and 28th June.

RITA MARGARET LAMPARD

Rita was born in Church Avenue. After attending Warmley School, she completed her education at a school in Clifton. She had one younger sister, Liz. She learnt shorthand and typing before working at the Fantasy Factory in Kingswood. It was during this period that Bill came over to the UK from Australia. where he met Rita. You will not be surprised to learn it was all to do with bell ringing! Bill was a bell ringer in Adelaide Cathedral and met Rita while bell ringing at Pip ‘n’ Jay. Subsequently, Bill came to ring at Warmley which led to a bell ringing holiday in Scotland and their romance blossomed. They were married in St. Barnabas in 1963. Bill and Rita lived in Hill Street Kingswood, Crane Close and Winfield Road, Warmley.

It was while she was working for Fantasy that she left to give birth to her daughter Helen. Gloria Wilshire recalls how Rita loved dancing and organised some ringers’ dances, she will be sorely missed by the ringing fraternity. Rita was interested in sudoku, crosswords, history and politics. She went to Australia four times to visit Bill’s homeland. Since Bill’s death, exactly 3 years to the day before Rita died, Rita has not enjoyed good physical health although, mercifully, she remained strong mentally.

It is the brevity of its life that makes it precious. Death is a hard fact. It can seem brutal but, if we lived forever, life would cease to have colour or meaning. Today we mourn Rita’s passing and our memories are tinged with sadness. But we would not wish, for this reason, that Rita had never lived. It is because neither she nor any of us live forever that we value and should cherish the life we have. I believe that the important thing at a time like this is to trust. If we cease to trust in God’s loving purposes we all too easily slide into cynicism and despair.

So, thank you God for Rita. May she rest in peace with Bill her husband and we pray that her daughter Helen, and grandsons Luke, Thomas and Harry, and her sister Liz, and all whose lives she touched, will be given strength and courage from her example of a good life well lived –the life of Rita Lampard.

WOOLLEN HATS

The following letter was received from:

Theatre Equipment Support Group Operation HERRICK 19 British Forces Post Office 792

Warrant Officer Class 2 D L A Branney Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant 2 Close Support Battalion Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers

LETTER OF THANKS AND APPRECIATION

I write on behalf of the soldiers of 2 Close Support Battalion Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers currently deployed as part of the 7th Armoured Brigade (The Desert Rats) in Helmund Province, Afghanistan.

I would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude for the woollen hats you have so generously donated. We are rapidly approaching winter and temperatures are expected to fall dramatically so your timely gifts are greatly appreciated by all. The public support displayed and clearly demonstrated by you is overwhelming and goes a long way to improve morale and the general well being of the soldiers.

Being deployed over the festive period and especially for extended periods is never easy, however, knowing that the British public remains firmly behind the British army really does make a difference

ST. VALENTINE’S DAY

There are two confusing things about this day of romance and anonymous love-cards strewn with lace, cupids and ribbon: firstly, there seems to have been two different Valentines in the 4th century - one a priest martyred on the Flaminian Way, under the emperor Claudius, the other a bishop of Terni martyred at Rome. And neither seems to have had any clear connection with lovers or courting couples.

So why has Valentine become the patron saint of romantic love? By Chaucer’s time the link was assumed to be because on these saints’ day -14 February - the birds are supposed to pair. Or perhaps the custom of seeking a partner on St Valentine’s Day is a surviving scrap of the old Roman Lupercalia festival, which took place in the middle of February. One of the Roman gods honoured during this Festival was Pan, the god of nature. Another was Juno, the goddess of women and marriage. During the Lupercalia it was a popular custom for young men to draw the name of a young unmarried woman from a name-box. The two would then be partners or ‘sweethearts’ during the time of the celebrations. Even modern Valentine decorations bear an ancient symbol of love - Roman cupids with their bows and love-arrows. There are no churches in England dedicated to Valentine, but since 1835 his relics have been claimed by the Carmelite church in Dublin.

A LITTLE HUMOUR

Why? A young couple invited some people to dinner. At the table, the mother turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?" "I don’t know what to say," the girl replied. "Just say what you hear Mummy say," the father answered. The daughter bowed her head and said, "O Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?" Windows A wife texted her husband on a cold winter morning: "Windows frozen." Her husband texted back: "Pour some lukewarm water over it." The wife texted back five minutes later: "Computer's completely not working now." The Pilot and the Priest A priest died and was waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him was a man dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans. St Peter addressed this cool guy, and said: “Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven? “ The man replied: “I'm Jim, retired pilot from a low-cost airline based at Gatwick.” St Peter consulted his list and smiled. “Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom.” So Captain Jim went into Heaven with his robe and staff. Next, it was the priest's turn. He stood erect and boomed out, “I am Father Bob, pastor of St Mary's for the last 43 years.” St Peter consulted his list. He said to the priest, “Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom.” “Just a minute,” said the good father. “That man was a pilot and he gets a silken robe and golden staff, and I get only cotton and wood. How can this be? “Up here - we go by results,” says St Peter. “When you preached - people slept. When he flew, people prayed...”
