Readers conference January 2018
The annual Readers conference for the Portsmouth Diocese was
held this year at the end of January at the Shanklin Beach Hotel.
Gill Challoner, Nicola Pinnock and Gill Smith attended the
conference along with about 85 other Readers from across the
Diocese.
The main speaker this year was Mark Russell who is the Chief
Executive Officer of the Church Army. Our subject was ‘Unpacking
the Lords Prayer.’
You might think this is a very basic subject for a group of Readers
to be considering, after all, you may have heard many of us preach
on this very subject. However, Mark is a powerful speaker, who had
many examples and fresh insights to share with us as we unpacked
the prayer phrase by phrase. The opening, Our Father, even when
you are alone, is so important and reminds us that God is there for
all of us, and we pray for all of us.
Mark shared many examples from his personal experience of
bringing people to God.
One example of he shared with us was about when he was
distracted and preoccupied thinking about some teaching he was to
deliver on generosity. He went to his local supermarket and
ignored a young man, clearly homeless and begging sat outside. As
he got into his shopping he realised about what he had done, so
went outside to ask if he could get anything for him. The man asked
for some food and drink, which Mark duly bought for him. He then
asked if there was anything else he needed, the man asked for a
weatherproof coat as his was worn out and not very warm. Mark
went home and picked out a fairly new Barber waxed jacket, and
reluctantly, because it was a very nice jacket, he gave it to the man.
The mans reaction was completely unexpected, instead of thanking
him he said I can’t sit here and beg in that! Nobody will give me
anything if they think I can afford a jacket like that. After talking and
4
explaining what he does, the man did decide to keep it and put his
old one on top!
Mark is a very energetic and charismatic speaker, he heads up the
Church army, which is a mission focussed community of evangelists
transforming lives and communities through words and actions
across the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The Church army has been active for 135 years, helping people to
know that God thinks they are fantastic and that they can have
hope. The project teams bring love, compassion and joy to people
who would never step inside a church. Their purpose is to enable
people to come to a living faith in Jesus Christ, and want people to
encounter Gods love and be empowered to transform their
communities.
If you want more information on their work and projects, we have
some of their leaflets and they have a website –
www.churcharmy.org.
Please pray for them in their work, especially their projects with the
homeless, people who self-harm, street workers, prisoners and
other marginalised groups.
They are also a charitable organisation who need resourcing for the
work they are called to do.

From ANDREW PELLOW.
Recently, I made my thirteenth appearance at the annual Oxford
Music Festival. To prepare pieces to play in January always gives me
good focus and lighten the darkest period of the year. “Link” readers
may be interested in my piano entries? I entered three classes
presenting two contrasting Waltzes from Opus 39 by Johannes
BRAHMS; then, in the French class I played two pieces by Claude
DEBUSSY —— “Danes de la poupée” & “The Little Shepherd” (the
latter from his Children’s suite). Finally, my twentieth century choice
was York GOWEN’S “A Cradle Song” Opus 63. I have since
discovered RUTH GERALD, who was the adjudicator, judged my
effort in the I.W. Musical Competition Festival in 2009!
This time, in Oxford, I was pleasantly surprised and encouraged by
her comments on my choices and interpretations of these works.
Even more unexpected to be awarded three distinction marks made
me feel not only taken aback but also gratified that I had entered
them. I could not have contemplated this had not my good friend and
colleague, George Westcott, deputized for me at St Alban’s Church
on the Sunday.
BY THIS TIME readers will have heard George was elected Chairman
of the Isle of Wight Organists’ Association at their January AGM. This
is an honour indeed and we all congratulate him. George well
deserves this accolade for his sterling work in these parishes (and
beyond them!) as organist and choir director.
ALL BEING WELL, not only do I hope to be playing in the Senior
Piano Recital Class of the Isle of Wight Music, Dance & Drama
Festival the middle of this month, but also George and I are entered
in the Senior Piano Duet Class.
Maybe you will be able to come and listen to us, giving us the
confidence to give of our best? I do hope so, and we shall look
forward to seeing you there.

CHERUB. BILLY.
Cherub Billy is my fiction, my Angel boy, my guide.
He proves to be my comfort, he is always at my side.
He reminds me of the Angels, God’s messengers of love.
who dwell in heaven’s great portals, high in Heaven above.
I love to follow scriptures, those tales of long ago,
those stories of the Prophets, they set my heart aglow.
I wonder if those Prophets had ‘mentors’ too, like us,
They told their Holy stories without ado or fuss.
There always will be Cherubs whether Billy, Joan or Jack,
Angelic little creatures with wings upon their back.
They will comfort and adore you, guide you on life’s way,
Advise and re-assure you in this world today.
This year of Anno Domini: Twenty thousand and Eighteen,
may be quite beneficial for you as well as me.
Work hard, dear friends, be positive be honest, good and true
coupled with great prudence in everything we do.
Last Christmas is a memory of wonder, love supreme,
of Angels and the shepherds, such a lovely scene.
Our love for baby Jesus, the carols that we sang,
That little town called Bethlehem, how those Church bells rang!
And then we saw Epiphany with wise men from a-far,
astronomers indeed were they who followed yonder star.
Ted.

First of all many apologies. I pressed the wrong button in a moment of panic
and sent the 2016 Link article to Joan. This means that there maybe some
corrections to dates!
There will not be an Easter Fair on Saturday March 12th
The Newchurch Male Voice Choir are not giving us a concert in April
Here follows the 2017/18 Bonchurch News:
We seemed to have had as busy a November and December as ever, although it
all seem so long ago now. As a special treat, Erika from P.A.T.C.H, a charity we
support, came to our November sewing Bee. She came to share her
enthusiasm for patchwork. Some of us had never done any and some of us not
for a long time. She generously gave us templates to work with and fabric and
we all had a go and loved it. The jam on the bread was when she showed us
some of her finished quilts, one of which she had finished for someone else. It
had been started by an old lady who had died before she could finish it. Her
son asked Erika to complete it and by the end she felt she knew this lady like an
old friend.
The next item in the diary was the Bumper Christmas Coffee Morning which
was very successful and much enjoyed by all. Many thanks to all supported it
and all who helped with it including the BCA.
This year we did our own Service of Nine Lessons and Carols. The combined
choir excelled themselves and their efforts were much appreciated by a large
congregation. I think the tea afterwards went down quite well too!
Our Crib Service on Christmas Eve was also well supported, with two families
attending whose children had been baptised earlier in the year. There were
some lovely shepherds and angels present!
As ever huge thanks go to the “A” team who come and help decorate our
church for Christmas with beautiful flower arrangements, namely: Eileen Kay,
Michael Mathews and Mair Guy.
Our final service this year was a lovely combination of carols, poems and
readings on the afternoon of December 31st. The beautiful candle lit Old church
was full to capacity and many people said that it was their favourite service of
the season.
As ever there will be lots happening at Bonchurch over the coming year so keep
your eyes peeled for information.
This year our Bumper Christmas Coffee Morning will be on the last Saturday in
November which will be November 24th 2018.
Our next Tuesday Coffee Morning will be on Tuesday March 6th from
10 am to Noon. We look forward to seeing you there.

WOMEN’S WORLD DAY OF PRAYER 2nd MARCH St Wilfrid’s Church. Ventnor. 3pm
As women in Suriname, we believe that the Christian faith community
can make a great contribution to the preservation of a living, healthy
and safe environment. The future of the earth for the next generations
matters to us. We see this as one of the key elements of the Christian
faith. It reminds us of the relationship between God and creation, and
God and humanity.
Suriname, like many countries, feels the effect of
worldwide climate change: drought, hurricane, and
storm, due to global warming. Along the Suriname
coastal strip it now floods in the rainy season,
including Paramaribo the capital city. Other environmental changes have
been caused by human activity, like the damage to the local rivers
through gold mining and mercury pollution. In the 21st century/24-hour
economy, which is striving for good economic outcomes and excellent
returns, Christians need to balance God’s Creation with man’s
creations. We need to be guided by the theme “All God’s Creation is
very good!”

Irish Sausage and Salvation.
Dave Dawson co-founder of the men’s breakfast sadly passed away this month,
our thoughts and prayers go to Trish and all his family.
February's breakfast saw a guest cook young Chris Crawford provide us with
authentic breakfast extras direct from Ireland. Traditional soda bread and
potato cakes and a manly Irish beef sausage proved very popular and filling with
the remains taken through to the hub for all to enjoy. Thanks Chris mmmm.
About 9 men were in attendance and many great discussions were had on all
subjects from prayer to drug use to homelessness. The level of openness is
refreshing and a real joy for all to share. Dave would be pleased that although
the guest chef was a glamourous female this did not cause an outbreak of lust!
The Lord continues to bless this mission and we look forward to leading more
souls towards salvation.
Thanks to all who have supported me over the last few years as church warden.
It has been an immense honour and privilege and testimony that God calls on
the downtrodden and weary and equips them to do his work. Who knows what
I will be called to do next but I trust in the lord and live in faith. Hallelujah.
Steve Northern.

Bishop’s Lent Appeal
2018
Refugee and Neighbour. We might not always think of Jesus as a refugee, but at this time of year
especially we’re reminded that early in his life his family fled into Egypt from
the persecution of Herod. 2000 years on and many children have the same
start in life. Our faith in the refugee Saviour reminds us of the fundamental
dignity of all humanity, and calls us to care for those who are most
vulnerable, and to work to restore hope and dignity to those whose lives
have been shattered by violence.
As well as immediate help, refugees of all ages and backgrounds deserve
longer term support in moving from uncertainty to stability to flourishing.
Alongside supporting the international work of Christian Aid we will
support local initiatives focused on helping those who have settled here to
become truly at home.
Our Diocesan vision is Live: Pray: Serve. Please pray with us this Lent for
refugees, giving as generously as you are able, so that those who are most
vulnerable in our world may live in freedom and peace.
Refugee and Neighbour:
Working overseas.
The main charity we are supporting this year is Christian Aid, a
partnership of people, Churches, and local organisations committed to
ending poverty worldwide. As part of this, they work with directly with
refugees, through local partnerships, and through linked organisations.
For example, in Iraq they have been working with a partner organisation
called REACH to provide assistance to families who have been displaced by
violence., with the aim of helping them regain their independence. They help
with vocational training, access to water in rural areas, renovation of key
17
amenities like schools and hospitals, and events that help bring communities
together. In one project, the influx of displaced families has been seen as a
blessing to the existing village, and this new community has been enabled to
gain an income by growing cucumbers and other vegetables in new
greenhouses.
Our support will help with projects like this, with Christian Aid directing
funds raised to where they can do most good.
Refugee and Neighbour:
Working at home.
Even with the shocking and often heartbreaking images in the news over the last few years, many of us will never really know what it feels like to be
forced away from home by war or persecution. But some in our
communities do know from first hand experience, while others will have
heard the stories of family members or friends.
Whatever our own experience, perhaps we do all share some sense of the
vital importance of having a place to belong, somewhere to call home. And
along with our own need for a place in the world we can hear the call to
love our neighbours both distant and near. So as well as supporting the work
of Christian Aid overseas this appeal is for those charities and local groups in
our area that have sought to help refugees, including those who have played
a part in welcoming displaced people into their communities. Some of our
own Parishes have been active in helping refugees families to settle, and
many will have heard about grass roots projects and initiatives.
If you would like to nominate a local charity or community group to receive
a grant this year, please contact us on:

A BANQUET FIT FOR A CHERUB.
I remember so clearly of when I was boy in 1934. When every Sunday morning
about an hour before Church, the fresh fish man would arrive with his horse and
cart outside our house in the village of Birling in Kent.
My Mum and Dad used to buy quite a lot of his stock such as Winkles, Shrimps,
Herring, Whiting etc, His horse always knew where to stop and we would make
a fuss of him.
We often had fish for Sunday tea and during the week as well,
Mum would make fantastic fish pies. Often we had Herring soused and cooked in
vinegar and herbs, the strong smell of it cooking would waft through the village
setting everyone’s mouth watering.
I was six years old at that time and always hungry, especially
when I came out of school in the afternoon to find my mother baking a batch of
jam tarts or cakes of some kind. Mum would let me help myself to a freshly baked
jam tart or two, I also liked to scrape out the remains of the custard saucepan.
The smell of my Mum’s fresh cooking was irresistible to me.
Our main meals were: Steak and Kidney puddings with Dumplings, plenty of
onions and other vegetables from our garden.
Living in the country was a Cherub’s place to be and it suited me too. I must
admit it was very cold in the winter months with no central heating or double
glazing. I remember waking up on cold mornings to find pretty patterns of frost
on the INSIDE of my bedroom window.
Boys in those days up until the age of fourteen all wore short trousers known as
knickerbockers and the Girls wore short skirts. Our knees used to become quite
chapped with the cold I did love the spartan lifestyle though.
We had a very large garden with lots of fruit trees: two Apple trees, a pear tree
about ten gooseberry bushes the same number of red and black current bushes
and some raspberry canes with plenty of room to grow potatoes and other
produce. My Dad taught me a lot about gardening, I especially liked growing Salad
crops: Radishes, Lettuce, Spring onions and that type of thing.
I grew cabbages, Brussels sprouts, Shallots, Beetroot, Runner beans, Peas and
tomatoes with great success.
We also kept several Chicken who kept us supplied with eggs. I loved those birds
and I believe they loved me too.
The wonderful days of my Cherub-hood and boy-hood in the 1930 s are
memories that I treasure. I still love the smell of fresh, home baking, especially
jam tarts......
Ted.

Paper £10 notes lose their status as legal
tender on 1st MARCH.
What happens if you don't spend your old £10 note by spring?
Once the deadline passes you won't be able to spend your notes in
shops or restaurants.
If you want to swap the old notes over for new tender you will have to
make the trip into a bank, building society or Post Office.
You will need to be an account holder with the bank for them to
exchange the note.
You can use your local Post Office to deposit the old tenners into your
bank account too.
It is possible that a high street bank will stop exchanging them after the
cut-off date but The Bank of England is legally obliged to. You can either do this in person or via post. Although if you post it to
The Bank of England, you do so at the “sender’s risk”.
If you are exchanging large amounts of old £10 notes, you may be asked
to provide identification, such as a passport or driving licence.
