From Jane… Decided to keep Christmas lights up in the Rectory to help make us cheerful, especially when the rain lashes the window and the wind howls. A twinkle of lights around the nativity scene really brings a smile. I had the magi close and the shepherds scampering off with their ‘Good News’. But even I won’t leave them up after Candlemas on 2nd February. We remember Jesus being brought to the temple in Jerusalem and being dedicated to God, he is launched – the light escapes into all the world. Then it’s only a couple of weeks until Lent begins. The challenge this year is how to enjoy a stack of tossed pancakes with different toppings. They need company, more pancakes and more people! Following the Nativity Trail, someone suggested we had a Pancake Trail! Sounds like a great idea but I gave the challenge to come back when they’d work out how this can possibly be done. Imagine various points around your community where pancakes can be made. Do we have frying pans on Bunsen burners with quantities of batter to pour in? – No, that won’t do because of touching the jug of batter and the pan. Do we have a microwave and a stack of pre-made pancakes ready to put inside and heat before adding our topping? No, where to plug in and we can’t all touch the containers of toppings. Keeping everything safe is a real challenge and we’ve been learning a lot about hand cleanser and masks on the way. But not to be defeated, let me know if you can devise a way to share some pancakes!! We’ve spotted a lovely idea for Ash Wednesday of mixing ash with a gum and painting the shape of the cross on a pebble and placing these for you to pick up once they’ve dried. That’s a bit easier than managing batter and pancakes. But what about Lent, have we had enough serious reflection and melancholy? Perhaps a time to look wider around the world and be alongside those in far more precarious situations than we are. We could decide to investigate a few places and organisations that are working to bring assistance. The Pope, Archbishop of Canterbury and some other faith leaders are visiting Sudan to reach out and support peace and reconciliation. Just

because we are physically restricted doesn’t mean we can’t enquire and discover new things. We are certainly not restricted in our spirits, every aspect of us needs nourishing and nurturing. I find songs and chants from Taize and Iona inspire. Easy to sing and repeat to comfort and support us spiritually. And no one can hear whether you are in tune. Or you may want to sing out an old favourite. Praising God and lifting our spirits – that’s a good combination. Kindle a flame To lighten the dark, And drive all fear away is a song from Iona and written by John Bell.

From Madeline…
CHRISTMAS WAS DIFFERENT – BUT CHRISTMAS WAS STILL CELEBRATED IN ALWINGTON, BUCKLAND BREWER AND PARKHAM!
There was no Christingle service at Buckland Brewer, but Roger and Betty made sure that 84 Christingle bags were handed out to primary and older children (and even saved one for the vicar!). Parkham
School last year had their very first Christingle service, and we hope to do that another year. But the Open the Book team clubbed together and bought the Bible Society’s ‘It Begins with Bethlehem’ booklet to hand out to each child in both Parkham and Buckland Brewer schools. They went with a prayer that for each child God would reveal his love to them.

Parkham couldn’t do its usual ‘Nativity Live’ in Tony’s barn, so instead we had ‘Nativity Live Not Live’ which everyone can have a look at because it’s on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuMnCVl2Skgm6iWAGuaO6iQ/ (Mind you, I’m not sure about that vicar: she looked quite stern to me … !) In both Parkham and Buckland Brewer villages people decorated a Christmas window, thus lighting up the villages bringing light and joy to all. Alwington, Buckland Brewer and Parkham churches all held a ‘Christmas Service’ on Sunday 20 December (at different times, of course!). We were a goodly crowd at each service, and each church had been beautifully decorated so the Christmas atmosphere was evident as soon as people walked through the door. Obviously it was an alternative to the normal traditional carol service, but we had the elements although in a different way. The story of the nativity was told with different poems, a couple of Bible readings, and also through music. As we couldn’t sing, it gave the opportunity for the organists to play a medley of carols (or via CDs at Parkham) for each musical slot, thus meaning that we actually heard many more carols than we usually sing. When I was looking to see what carols would be suitable and where, I realised that usually at Carol Services we sing only a fraction of what’s on offer, and there are always those which you have to have. So it was a joy to choose and then listen to some different carols, one of which was ‘Mary Did you Know?’ to which I danced. And in each church a Christmas Communion was held either on Christmas Eve, Christmas morning or the day after Boxing Day. We truly celebrated ‘that God was man in Palestine and lives today in Bread and Wine’ (John Betjeman). Thank you to all the readers, the organists, and the CD operators – as well, of course, as all those who decorated the churches making them look so festive, and made sure they were, and are, Covid secure places to be. Wishing everyone a blessed, happy, healthy and peaceful New Year. Revd. Madeline

Alwington St Andrew’s church has decorative bunting to block off pews not in use. Members of the congregation put their creative skills together to make crocheted bunting much nicer than hazard tape!
Whilst meeting up has been limited we managed to raise £33 with a Christmas quiz created by Julie Harper. The questions ranged from identifying Carols from odd lines from the Carol, Carol names with the vowels removed, famous people born on December 25th and Christmas literature.
At Alwington we have been delighted to welcome people from Ford Methodist Chapel which currently remains closed. With the requirements for blocking out pews there have been times when the church has felt quite full but with all the measures put in place it also feels safe. We continue to hold services once a month but look forward to better times when we can mingle after the service.

Clovelly
Not to be defeated by Covid19, we supplied villagers with ‘Christingle kits’ to make at home. Complete with orange, raisins, sweets and candle, the children had a great time putting them together, while thinking about what it all means. A special service followed on the afternoon of Sunday 13th and we
were delighted to welcome parents and children from the cobbled street to bring their Christingles to the church
for a special service to celebrate Jesus the Light of the World. As darkness fell we turned off the lights and lit our Christingles to the sound of ‘Away in a Manger’ gently playing on the organ. It was a magical time and enjoyed by all.
Sylvia West
Christmas Service December 20th The church was lit by about 150 candles and looked better than ever, but sadly no carols were sing. Instead recordings of choirs were playing as the congregation entered
to be socially distanced and in family bubbles. A Clovelly donkey led by Bart Kelly was blessed and processed around the church to ‘’ Little donkey”. This was followed by the blessing of the baby Jesus in the stable scene with “Away in a Manger” also played on the organ. The Christmas story as spoken by the Archangel Gabriel, a Shepherd in the fields and the Virgin Mary was retold along with some Christmas poems. As a light interlude Chris played a medley of 34 carols and Christmas songs! But only a few bars of each I wonder how many were recognised? The Reverend Jane Skinner gave us a few cracker jokes and asked what gives us “Comfort and Joy” ... the candles and donkey, the rich brown turkey, mince pies with clotted cream? She finished: “Do not enter 2021 with dread but in the company of Jesus who is Emmanuel, God with us, come to share our condition that we may share his divinity. What an offer. Comfort and joy to you all.” The collection was for the local Salvation Army and the service was repeated on Christmas Eve.

Woolsery All Hallows celebrated Christmas and the coming of Christ in a rather low-key fashion, as was only to be expected during this frightening Corona Virus pandemic. On the 13th December, Advent Sunday, the congregation gave its full support at the baptism of Joshua Iain David Edwards; on the 20th we held our Christmas Service and two special Nativity Trail services were held outside the church on the 23rd. Finally, at the early time of 8 pm, we celebrated Holy Communion on Christmas Eve. At all the services we observed the anti-Covid regulations, which sadly extended to the banning of singing carols indoors. All at All Hallows send their heartfelt and sincere best wishes for the year ahead to the Hartland Coast Mission Community.

was Shirley Henderson’s window for the Annunciation – so they had the Archangel Gabriel for company all Christmas!
Shirley took this photo of the window and, what we couldn’t see, from the inside!

Despite cancellation of the Carol Supper, Thirza and Nancy kept being asked if they were making Christmas puddings this year. We decided to make half the usual number, so in October four of us gathered with pinnies donned, and a lot of Covid risk awareness, to make some. It felt very strange to have to write a risk assessment to use the rooms where we always make the Christmas puds! Two hours later we were having a cuppa while counting out puddings to take home to cook. Although not formally advertised, they were soon snapped up and a welcome addition was made to church funds. While in lockdown again in November, all the planned services bar the first had to be cancelled. We did manage to join in the British Legion service in the Square on Remembrance Day. Having only 30 people present and no music apart from Lisa playing the Last post and all of us singing the National Anthem at the end, it was a very moving ceremony. Most of the usual wreaths were laid, but there were no parades and of course no band playing. Planning for Christmas became rather uncertain. Thirza suggested we should take a Christmas Dinner
provided by the school to people who would like one. Using the regular Wednesday lunch attenders as a starting point we asked around and found 30 people who would like one. Thirza provided the school with tinfoil dishes to keep things hygienic and several volunteer drivers came forward. Thanks to Jess and Amanda for packing the meals so neatly. Rather than a cracker we gave everyone a Friends of St Nectan’s biro, and a few chocolates wrapped in Christmas paper. Judging by the many thank you cards and phone calls, this was well worth doing. Hopefully some new people will come along to the Wednesday lunches one we can start them again. Revd Jane and Vera organised Christingle kits for every child at school and invited them to come along to the All-Age service on December 20th. Several did and brought their now made Christingles to be lit. Feeling rather vulnerable with children around, I did not attend this service but was told it went very smoothly with none of the usual running around. We decided to hold a Midnight service at Christmas, but, as there was no earlier service for Jane Hayes to take, we brought it forward to 11pm. Even with no singing it was a very meaningful service to which 23 came. It was

rather nice not having to go home and then rush back for a 10am service too! So now we are once again in lockdown. With the reports of overfilled hospitals and the worry of Exeter Doctors that the hospital could become overwhelmed, we eventually decided to suspend services. We will continue to meet on Zoom at Morning Worship, and on the conference call Compline services. Don’t forget they are available for everybody; just ask Tricia for the Zoom link if you don’t have it. All the services are advertised on the weekly news sheet.
Maybe by mid-May most of us will have been vaccinated – we don’t have many under 70s in our congregation – so we will begin to return to normal life style?

Thanks to the generosity of the local community, Hartland’s Foodbank
has been supporting a number of locals since March and provided Christmas hampers for them, plus a few others. Thank you letters show that it is not just the content of the boxes, but the thought behind them that is appreciated.

What did you do during “Lockdown”?
he phrase that seems to be on most people’s lips these days is,
“what did you do in the Covid-19 pandemic?” According to the newspapers, television and “social media”, it seems that many people have taken up a “new hobby” or, rekindled the love of an old one. Whichever it is, it appears that a number of people have been keeping themselves very busy in a variety of ways. Towards the end of 2019, Neil, a close friend, had been diagnosed with cancer and I was accompanying him to doctors’ and hospital appointments. He was due to start chemotherapy in January and as the pandemic was taking a hold, with masks and social-distancing becoming the “norm”, we decided to “self-isolate”. In February 2020 we visited Braunton, a village that is rather special for both of us; my sister-in-law had lived there as a young wife and mother, and it was where Neil had “grown-up”. As we explored we came to St Brannock’s church, not the one that resembles the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Liverpool, but the one in the heart of the “old village”; and we went inside. As we were examining the beauty that was around us, Neil
became transfixed by some things on one of the walls. These objects, being made mostly of wood, were quite small; and he asked me what they were? “Oh, they’re the Stations of the Cross”, I remarked. Neil started to develop an immense interest in the “how and why” of them and kept asking questions; so I decided to do some research, both biblically and historically: and, as an artist and ex-art teacher, Neil started sketching the various “stations”. As the weeks passed, Neil had accumulated many sketches of the “Way of the Cross” and had finally started to paint. After a week or so, we both had a “brain-storm”. Why not paint them on small pieces of wood so that they can be held in the hand. As I was researching and Neil was painting, he was incessantly asking questions. Where is this place? Why did that happen? Who’s this or that person? All these questions culminated in a much larger work-load than we‘d originally intended. Reams of words, many small and large paintings, and Maps! I “think” the work is now finished, however I quite often find him in front of his easel “adding a little touch here” or “a little dab there”: and I must confess, I’m still researching “why this” or “why that”.

From the beauty of the carvings on the walls of St Brannock’s, something was started - which grew and grew, because of the questions that it provoked. Why did this happen? What caused it to happen? How can people do this to people? I don’t know the why, what or how; but the questions are still there: and in searching for the answers we’re still looking deep inside ourselves! Our intention, when we first started, was something to occupy ourselves during “Lockdown”; it became something that utilised the “skills” each of us has; and it became something to which we could both
contribute, something that we could achieve together. We shared Jesus’ journey as he carried his cross: on this journey of ours we walked the “Way of the Cross”, with Jesus; we felt his pain; we saw the sorrow of others. Perhaps this is what we were meant to do; perhaps this was what was intended for us?
When “Covid” is finished we would like to share our “Lock-down Project” with others: so that they too may experience the journey; see Jesus for themselves and with Him walk the “Way to the Cross”.

hristmas had many treats including walking around Parkham, Woolsery and
Hartland enjoying decorated windows. Woolsery had the added dimension of the narrations of the Nativity read by members of the Youth Club and children from the school. Planning for activities that are safe in the current situation is challenging but not impossible. Our communities have shown that we will find a way to care for each other and still mark important things in life. I took a photo on Christmas morning of a beautiful sunrise: joy to the world!!
What will 2021 bring? Many challenges but we will tackle them together as much as possible and find ways to care for each other. Please keep a look out for those in need, there are numbers available through Parish Councils and our Ministry Team will respond. Much is hidden behind doors, below the surface.
Thankfully God knows it all. Keep praying with eyes open, hands ready and feet on the move – or whichever in that list you can do! I also took a photo of the 1st morning in 2021, sunrise and snow! New blessings every day to each of you.

RECONNECTING WITH NATURE – nature activities to use with children. Spring is in the air and with it comes new flowers, birdsong, butterflies, and hopefully some much-needed sunshine. It’s the time to explore and enjoy the wildlife on your doorstep; take time with the children to observe it in your gardens or in your local parks, not forgetting your social distancing with other people. Awaken the senses, reconnect yourselves with nature. Become Nature Detectives, follow trails of mysterious smells, strange sounds and interesting textures.

LECTIO DIVINA For the past few weeks Rev. Madeline Bray has been leading Lectio Divina sessions. These take place fortnightly from 7pm for about 40 minutes on a Thursday evening on Zoom. Anyone is welcome to join any of the sessions as it is not a course as such. It is totally non-threatening and individuals can say as little or as much as they feel moved to do, remembering that God speaks to us all in different ways. Lectio Divina (Divine Reading) has been around since AD 300 so is certainly well established! It is a contemplative way of reading Biblical texts which should be seen as gifts to be received and savoured, rather than problems to dissect. It involves reading, meditation, prayer and contemplation. Madeline chooses a text, which we can all share on the screen. It is often the Gospel reading for the coming Sunday, so is particularly relevant to us all at that time. After an introductory prayer, she reads the passage aloud, slowly, a number of times with a variety of pauses between sections, sentences and phrases. We are then invited to say
anything about any part of the text that has moved us. This may be one word, a phrase, a whole verse or maybe a question for us all to ponder. It is wonderful to suddenly see something that you have never before thought about or interpreted as such, even in texts that we think we know so well! I have found these sessions refreshing, stimulating and moving and they have certainly been a way of bringing me closer to God. We can never stop pondering and learning through the word of God though often, in our busy and stressful world, for whatever reasons, and I am as guilty as the next person, we don’t give God that time. Thank you, Madeline, for your time and preparation and for the company of others who have become friends along the way. Do join us, even if you feel it’s not for you as I said earlier, you never know how, when and where God will speak to you.
