Sue will beaway for a bitAs many of you are aware, I will be awayfor 3 months this Spring. This is a time ofrefreshment, learning and renewalknown as ‘EMDL’ – Extended MinistryDevelopment Leave – which is availableto clergy who have been in full-time min-istry more than 10 years, and who are notclose to retirement. My EMDL will beginafter the services on Sunday 9th March,and I will be back in post on Friday 13thJune.During my EMDL I will be looking at 2areas of my ministry… spirituality andleadership; as well as taking an opportu-nity to experience other churches andbring that experience back to share atChrist Church. Jeremy and I will be living(mostly) at a house we own in Rochester,although you may sometimes see us in oraround the Vicarage. For about a third of

the time I will be away on various cours-es, and on retreat. The EMDL period willend with a study tour in the Holy Land. Iwill be keeping a journal of my reflectionsand look forward to sharing it with you allwhen I am back.While I am away, the parish will be in thesafe hands of Revs Jo Drew and Jacque-line Littlewood, the Churchwardens andthe Ministry Team. There is an excellentteam here at Christ Church and I knowthat everyone will rise to the challenge asthey always do. If you need to talk toanyone about anything concerning theministry at Christ Church while I amaway, then please contact Jo or Jacque-line. Emails sent to me will be forwardedto Jo, and it will not be possible to leavemessages on the Vicarage phone. I amvery grateful to the PCC for agreeing sowillingly to this opportunity, and to every-one who will be taking on additional rolesduring this time. I very much look forwardto seeing you all again in the Summer.

FIRST STEPS8TH JANUARY 2014

STEPPING INTO A NEW YEAR

We’re up to cloudy sunshine today andour naughty little sheep is so relieved. We’vehad so much rain over the last few weeks thathe thinks he’s going to turn into a duck! I’vetried to reassure him but he’s becoming quitetraumatised. You know what he’s like about theweather! There is a bit of a breeze as ournaughty little sheep and his friends and I walkup to church and there are still glimpses ofbrightness. Hooray! They decide that they’regoing to hide from those eagle eyed children,so they rush off, trying to beat each other to thebest hiding places. When everything is ready and our doorsare opened, the first to arrive is Grandma Bar-bara with Reuben and Cecily. Time to test thejingle bells. Other Mums and children soonfollow and before long we have our usual love-ly, lively, noisy crowd. Baby Luke is asleepagain. Our naughty little sheep wonders if we’llbe noisy enough to wake him up us this time.We shall see! Time to begin and our naughty littlesheep and his friend, the glittery dragon, aresitting very quietly on our little altar, trying notto get too close to the candles as they’re lit.Singed wool and glitter would be a disaster,wouldn’t it? Today we’re thinking about all theblessings that God has given to us as we stepinto a brand new year. We sing about thepeople we love, thanking God for them, and weremember Jesus’ wonderful love for us, so highwe can’t get over it, so low we can’t get underit, so wide we can’t get round it, O wonderfullove! The children are really good with theactions and our naughty little sheep is veryimpressed. And so am I!

We thank God for the joy of being to-gether; for the chance to sing about His loveand for His presence with us on this lovely day.Our naughty little sheep asks is we can singabout Jesus our friend and of course we can.Our song reminds us that Jesus died to set usfree and now he is the King of Kings. “PraiseHim!” rings our chorus and it is an excuse tohave another good jingle. Last of all comes everyone’s favourite“My God is so big” with lots more actions. Wethank God for our beautiful world and for theprecious gift of life. It doesn’t hurt us to stopfrom time to time and appreciate what a won-derful gift it is and how very blessed we are. Then it is time for a little bit of hush aswe say our prayers. Everyone is very good andquiet at this important time. Then I hear awhisper that there’s quite a crowd of animalshiding very quietly. Oops! I’d forgotten all aboutthem! My name will be mud! The children rushoff to find them much to their relief. Then with the candles blown out andour naughty little sheep and his dragon friendunsinged, our service is over and we all go outinto the Hall for refreshments and play. Most ofour naughty little sheep’s friends decide to stayin church. I think they’re still sulking becauseI’d forgotten them. But our naughty little sheepand the glittery dragon go into the hall to watchthe children play. And do you know, that babyLuke is still fast asleep. We obvi-ously weren’t noisy enough! As usual the time hasrushed by. We’ve all had a love-ly time together and hope thateveryone will join us again forour next First Steps service on12th February. I’d better not for-get those animals next time.

God Bless Rosemary Austin

Bishop Stephen said: “The links between theForces, the Falkland Islands and the office of theArchbishop of Canterbury are greatly valued. Itis good that these links will be maintained in thisway, and I am particularly delighted that BishopNigel’s own wide experience and many gifts willprovide Episcopal care and support to our chap-lains and those whom they serve in the name ofChrist.”


‘Cast all youranxiety on him,because hecares for you’(1 Peter 5: 7)

We believe in the power of prayer to bringhealing, comfort and the reassur-

ance of God’s love into the day today problems which we all face.Many people at Christ Church

have found it helpfulwhen going throughsickness or difficul-

ties of various kinds, tobring these to God in prayer.

Sometimes it can also be helpfulto know that others are praying along-

side you.

There are a number of ways in which youcan offer your own prayers or ask for the

prayers of others, within the min-istry at Christ Church. Some ofthem are listed here… pleasefeel free to use any orall of these re-sources whenev-er you feel the need ofGod’s loving support andcare. Rest assured that noproblem is too difficult, and no prob-lem is too trivial… He cares for eachof us and invites us to come to Him justas we are.

Daily prayers for the sick - those who aresick are prayed for at the Eucharists thattake place nearly every day. If you tellone of the clergy, they will be pleased toadd a name to the list – please alsoremember to say when the person con-cerned has recovered!

Prayer requests – there are now slips ofpaper in red boxes, close to the candlestand and also at the back of the church.If you write your prayer request on the‘tear off slip’ and put it in the box provid-ed, then prayers will be offered at theWednesday morning Eucharist.

Candle stand – you are welcome to lighta candle and offer a prayer for a lovedone at any time – the candle stand is inSt Faith’s chapel.

Prayer tree – there is a prayer tree in theWarrior Chapel… this is another way tooffer your prayers. Just write it on a labelprovided and hang it on the tree.

Whatever method you choose, we hopeyou will find the help and support you arelooking for through God’s loving pres-ence.
