October 2012 30pRemembrance

I love Autumn!I love the colours, I love the smells. Ilove the crunching of leaves. I lovecoming in from the cold to a warmhouse, warming chilly fingers round amug of tea or hot soup; and I'm sureyou could add to this list.

Yet there are those of us who dread theonset of winter with its long, dark daysand cold mornings, closing the curtainsat 5pm and not seeing anyone until thenext day, and the bleakness.

There is something dark aboutNovember and the dying of the year.We have All Saints and All Souls, andthen there is Remembrance Sunday, alltimes which may bring back painfulmemories, times of grieving for thoseof us who have lost loved ones.

But as painful as these occasions maybe they provide us with an importantopportunity together to rememberthose we love but see no longer. Theword “remember” literally means toput a person back together again andrecall happier times, a reflection of thelife the person lived.

Memories can be evoked by the mostunexpected things which catch usunawares and knock us off balance –sometimes good memories, butsometimes difficult ones.

For me, November contains theanniversary of my mother's death.Among the many memories I have ofher and of the person she was I recallevery Remembrance Sunday when shewould watch the service from thecenotaph in London and weep as sheremembered her brother who waskilled at the battle of Arnhem. I don'tthink that ever became easy for her,she grieved for him afresh each year;as I do for her.

At these times of sadness, as weremember our loved ones, it isimportant for us also to remember thestrength and comfort we can receivefrom God through prayer, to rememberhis promise to be with us always,through good times and bad; not apromise that nothing bad will happen,that we will not experience difficultyand deep sadness, but that he will bewith us through it all to strengthen andcomfort us.

I often find quotes and sayings can beso helpful, they can really speak to usin a particular situation.Here is a saying from Corrie TenBoom, a Dutch resistance worker inthe 2nd world war who faced greatdanger as she hid allied servicemen:“If God sends us stony paths, heprovides strong shoes.”And these moving words were writtenon a cellar wall in Cologne after thewar :“I believe in the sun even when it isnot shining.I believe in love even when I feel itnot.I believe in God even when he issilent.”

Let us share all our memories withGod, offer them up to him as we pray,just like putting them in an album, andhe will give us a deep sense of hispeace and his presence with us.

Anthony’s Collation at St. Denys, LeicesterWhat’s a ‘Collation’? Read on and discover.....

Well, our coach party from The Good Shepherd got there! After an introduction fromthe bus driver which failed to inspire confidence (I’ve never been there, but I found iton Google....) a delayed departure, and stationary traffic on the A14, we foundourselves threading round narrow roads to a brightly lit church. Prayers must havebeen answered, for it was only 7.25, and as the bus was turned around to take us to thechurch entrance, we were amused to see the Bishop’s procession going from thevicarage, apparently in completely the opposite direction. Perhaps his detour wasdeliberate, to allow us to enter the church before the service began. In the friendlywelcome we received we found that spaces had been reserved for us.

Dave our vicar had been invited to read the first lesson, which he combined with acommendation of Anthony from The Good Shepherd. His reading from Ephesians 3(I bow my knees before the Father.... I pray that you may be strengthened through hisSpirit, and that Christ may dwell...) was a most appropriate prayer from everyone forAnthony’s future ministry at St. Denys.

We then came to the main business of Anthony’s appointment, which goes under thestrange title of ‘Collation’. All who were present now know it involves• Reading an authority from the Bishop• Anthony promising to obey the Queen and the Bishop in all things lawful andhonest• Swearing, signing and receiving a blessing• Receiving the keys of the church at the church door• Ringing the church bell• Being put into his stall by the archdeacon• And lastly, leading everyone in prayer

With all that we had a welcoming sermon by the Bishop, and various welcomes fromthe local church. We were now ready to explore another meaning of this strange word‘Collation’ which is a light meal after a fast. Those who had spent a couple of hoursfasting on the coach before getting to the church were particularly delighted with thegenerous spread which awaited us in the parish hall. There was a most imaginativefinger buffet, rounded off by fruit salad served on cocktail sticks.

In conversation with parishioners we discovered that though the parish of St. Denys isin Leicester, a city three or four times the size of Cambridge, the church is borderedby open fields. The ancient church has Norman origins, and is most beautifully caredfor. All too soon it was time to leave, but at least we now knew that Anthony andfamily were in caring and capable hands in their new parish.So now you know about ‘Collations’ except that the ordinary meaning or the word isputting things in order, alphabetically; ABCD...; or numerically.

Tom AmbroseAt least we made it there – here is an additional note from Anthony!It was wonderful to see you all there last week and I'm so pleased you made it in time.Sadly, a couple of friends of ours from Thorney arrived just as the rain began, thenthey missed their turning and ended up spending the evening driving round Leicestercity centre - not fun at the best of times. It took them so long that they gave up in theend and went home.

Dear Good Shepherd Friends

I wanted to write to thank you all so much for the wonderful send off you gave us back in

July. It seems a long time ago now but it was a very special occasion and we were deeply

moved by the music, the worship and the fellowship. Your very generous gift has already

enabled us to buy a beautiful tapestry for the Vicarage entitled ‘The Lesson of Song’ which

seemed appropriate! I have also used some of the money to buy my own set of djembe drums

which I am looking forward to introducing at St Denys … once I’ve learnt how to play them

properly!

It was a real treat to see so many of you again at my collation service last week. You

couldn’t have timed your arrival better! It was such an amazing evening and we were so

pleased to see old friends and new gathered together. Many of the St Denys folk have

commented to me how well the members of both churches mingled and I trust all the stories

you shared of my time with you were good ones as they haven’t thrown me out yet!

The girls have settled well into school as well as Rainbows and Brownies. Wendy and I are

finding our feet too as we begin to explore the area and make new friends. We do miss you

all so very much but know that Evington is where God has called us to be. We continue to

pray for you as the consultation process comes to an end and you also look to the future and

how God might shape the Good Shepherd to be His hands and feet in Arbury.

Wishing you every blessing

Anthony, Wendy, Erica and Hilary

WHAT KIDS HEARMy mother spent her early childhood saying, "Hail Mary, full of grapes."

When I was a little girl, we sang a song in Sunday school about Noah. Part of thechorus was "And the rains came down, and the floods came up." We lived next doorto a couple of charming little girls who always sang this song while playing in theirgarden. Their words were, "And the rains came down, and the spuds came up."

When my husband was 6 years old, he thought the creed said:"He suffered under a bunch of violets."

When I was a child, I learned this prayer as "Our Father, who are in Heaven, Howardbe thy name." I always thought that was God's real name.

My son, who is in nursery school, said, "Our Father, who art in Heaven, how didjaknow my name?"

I remember thinking this prayer was "Give us this day our jelly bread."

When I was younger, I believed the line was "Lead a snot into temptation." I thought Iwas praying for my little sister to get into trouble.

The Perfect MinisterThe Perfect Minister should condemn sin but never upset anyone.

The Perfect Minister ought to receive about £2600 a year, wear good clothes, keep anup-to-date library, and give about £2500 a year to the poor.

The Perfect Minister is 30 years old with a young family; has 25 years experience as aminister and works through from 8am to midnight.

The Perfect Minister will have 2 weeks holiday yearly, never be away for more than aday or two at a time, preach every Sunday, keep healthy and never accept retirement.

The Perfect Minister has a burning desire to work with teenagers and will spend thevast majority of their time with senior citizens.

The Perfect Minister smiles all the time with a straight face because of the sense ofhumour that keeps the person seriously dedicated to the work at all times.

The Perfect Minister must make daily calls but only on congregation families, thoseliving alone and those in hospital. Most of their time should be spent evangelising theunchurched.

The Perfect Minister should always be out doing something but always in whensomeone calls…

YES, IT’S FUNNY.BUT DO WE SOMETIMES EXPECT THE IMPOSSIBLE??

CHRISTMAS CARDS 2012Just to let you know that we shall be featuring our Christmas corner next month whenanyone can put in their Christmas message for fellow church members. For those ofyou who are new, the idea is that we spend an awful lot of money on Christmas cardsand this is a way to make a real contribution to one of the many charities that sodesperately need our help (especially this year). All we ask is that you send in yourmessage to me (usual contact details on back page or see me in church) and make acontribution to the charity of your choice to reflect what you would otherwise havespent on Christmas cards.

All money raised from Christmas messages this year is going to the RuralDevelopment Movement. Henry wrote about the RDM in a recent GS News.

If you have no particular charity you wish to support, I would be happy to collect themoney for RDM. If you have a charity you would like to support, let me know whenyou give me your Christmas message and I will happily publicise whatever charityyou are supporting. Sadly even “charity cards” give a very small percentage of themoney raised to the charities they support – this way all the money goes to the charityof your choice.

I am not saying we should not be sensitive about this. Cards mean a lot to elderlypeople who are on their own – I know how much they mean to my Mum – butperhaps we could manage not sending individual cards to the friends we see everyweek in church and making that money really mean something?

Messages to me by Sunday November 11, please. December’s GS News will be onthe shelves on November 25 – just in time for the start of Advent.

Harvest 2012What a great and different Harvest celebration we had this year! We have some greatpictures thanks to Dave Wilson and to Street Voices themselves, so enjoy thecoloured supplement.

Shoebox Sunday is here again!Well, it will be very soon, on the 18th November and by the time you see this, it willbe four weeks away. For the last two years we have been trying to break the "100Box" barrier, achieving 95 in 2010 and 93 last year, so I really feel that this year willbe the one. A real Olympic effort is needed, but we can do it!

Dilemma!I wonder if anyone else has a dilemma like mine?Every day whilst watching TV I am bombarded by adverts and appeals for help. Ilike to be as generous as possible, but with a limited income I have to be careful as tohow generous I can be and still pay my gas bill! But the real dilemma for me is whichcharity to support. Now who could fail to be moved by the sight of a very small childin a third world country dying from disease and malnutrition – one child every 4seconds – I am told. Surely I can spare £2 a month and help save the child’s life? Butwhat about another small child whose only drinking water is polluted? How lucky weare to be able to get pure fresh drinking water at the turn of a tap – surely I must sendmoney to Water Aid as well? Then I see pictures of poor overburdened donkeys,barely able to move, hungry and thirsty. I have a soft spot for these gentle creatures.A donkey carried Mary into Bethlehem and another carried Jesus into Jerusalem onPalm Sunday. They deserved to be helped also surely?

The there are the bigger appeals. Nearly everyone has lost a loved one to Cancer –it’s a very worthy charity to support, but so is Heart Disease and Alzheimer’s.

Nearer to home there are the homeless in Cambridge. When I worked in Cambridge,I often used to give to the beggars in the street, but was told by my boss not to do so“because they will only spend it on drink and drugs”. But how can I say “I will giveyou £5 but you must only spend it on nourishing food and a hot drink”. Shouldn’tgiving be unconditional?

If I won £10 on the Lottery – which will not happen as I don’t buy a ticket – mydilemma would be solved, as I would give it all away. But my £10 million would be adrop in the ocean in these days of billions and trillions, “fat cat” salaries andenormous bonuses. Gas and Electricity Companies put up their prices and thengleefully tell us that they have made a huge profit! Meanwhile children in this stillaffluent country go to school hungry and without proper shoes.

In times of dreadful earthquakes and sever floods, I like to send a generous donation,but can I be sure that my money will go to the people who need it and not line thepockets of corrupt officials? And if I filled every plastic bag that is pushed throughmy letterbox each week asking for clothing, everyone would see a lot more of me thanis decent!

A family member very generously gives to five charities but with her salary frozenshe is struggling and must give up two of them. Which two she asked me? Now thatis her dilemma. I’m still struggling with mine!

Joy Staley

We are pilgrims on a journey, fellow travellers on the road ……….A few weeks ago a couple of people asked me if they could have a copy of one of theprayers I used in the intercessions. It was one that I had adapted sometime time ago fromone I had read, but I’m afraid I can’t now remember where I found the original. Anyway,here it is:

Holy Spirit, open our hearts that we may feel your presence with us. Open ourlips that we may sing your praises and announce your truth. Open our ears thatwe may hear your pain at the suffering in our world. Open our eyes that we mayChrist in all we meet. Breathe your spirit of gentleness upon us so that we mayknow Christ in our midst.

One book I have found really useful when preparing intercessions for church is ‘PocketPrayers for Peace and Justice’. It is published by Church House Publishing and is acompilation of prayers by Christian Aid. Rex gave it to me for an anniversary presentjust after I had completed my ALM course in Social Awareness, so it was a very apt giftand one that I can honestly say I use a lot!

Another source of prayers which I find helpful for private prayer is Ruth Etchells. She isa distinguished lay theologian who has combined the study of English literature andtheology for much of her life. She became the first lay person and the first woman to beto be the head of a Church of England theological college in 1978, when she wasappointed Principal of St John’s College, Durham, which also includes Cranmer Hall.She is also a poet and maker of stained glass windows. She has written three books ofdaily prayers/meditations – ‘Just as I Am’, ‘Safer than a Known Way’ and ‘A RainbowColoured Cross’. If anyone would like to look at them, I am happy to lend!

Whilst on the subject of prayer, the social awareness group (Rhodri, Henry, Fiona and I),in discussion with Dave, have decided to ask everyone on the intercessions list to includethe following when it is their turn to pray:

• Week 1 – Red Hen Project (supporting young children in this area)• Week 2 - Jimmy’s• Week 3 – Rural Development Movement (Henry has written about it previously)• Week 4 – Food Banks

Of course it would be great if everyone could pray for these, too!With regard to Food Banks, the Social Awareness Group, at Dave’s request, is pursuingthis at the present time with the hope that we can start one here, at The Good Shepherd.We will keep you posted!

We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the loadLiz Collinson

Welcome!Hi there - we're Jonathan and Martha Clark and we've recently joined the churchfamily at the Good Shepherd. We've moved from Cheltenham where we met, marriedand lived for many years.

I (Jonathan) am a techie at heart, and I've been using my expertise to write and designsystems for the government since being a student the first time around. I deliberatelystayed working in a place with a short commute, and where I could actually have alife outside work, so that I could get heavily involved in my local church. Over theyears I've helped lead youth work, played and led worship bands of varying styles, gotinvolved in Alpha, and helped lead house groups. Over the last few years, afterpeople started asking "So, when are you going to become a vicar, then?" I've alsobeen leading and preaching regularly. I've also been involved for many years inScripture Union's brilliant summer holidays for young people; going on one when Iwas 12 was a big encouragement to my young faith, and something I highlyrecommend. In June this year after I got the thumbs-up from my Bishop, I resignedfrom work, and I'm now a few weeks into my vicar training at the wonderful RidleyHall.

Martha has two children, now aged 21 and 23, who haven't come with us. Emma gotmarried a few months ago and lives in Winchester where her husband Sam is astudent worker at a big Anglican church. She's looking for work. As is Simon wholives with his dad in Swindon. Martha herself has been in a variety of churches, andparticularly because she trained a few years ago to be a Reader (or Local LayMinister) in the Church of England. She too loves preaching and leading services,and also has a wonderful pastoral heart, particularly for the ill and the elderly. Sheworked for many years as a nurse, specialising in care of people having treatment forcancers. She's talking with David and Linda about how and where she might be ableto help.

We're both loving being in Cambridge, and getting stuck in to all that it has to offer,including the art shows and lectures and coffee shops. We're living slightly outsidethe parish, on Richmond Road just opposite the entrance to lovely little Histon RoadRec. We're friendly, and like getting to know people, particularly over lunch (hinthint!). We'll be here until early summer 2014, unless we can find a way of persuadingthe powers-that-be to let us stay for another year, which we'd love to do.

Daniel, our other new student, will introduce himself in next month’s issue.
