CHURCH NEWS
A Message from the Rector Charles Roberts
As I write we’ve had a wonderful week of sunshine and a bit of unexpected warmth, so welcome to summer!! Long may it continue. Having had a relatively quiet May, June is a big month for us in the Group as we mark two major festivals that provide much to consider for us as a church and as a community.
The first is the birthday of the church, the feast of Pentecost on the 9th June. In church terms this is a ‘big one’ as it brings with it an amazing story of that first anointing of the Holy Spirit on the disciples. Over the past few weeks since Easter we have been reading how the disciples met together but were still fearful of the future. Would soldiers come and arrest them for their association with Jesus, would they experience the same fate? Yet they also knew that Jesus had told them to wait until he sent them his Spirit, and no doubt that also brought more questions – how would that happen, how would they know? They needn’t have worried of course because the whole experience of that Spirit’s arrival was so dramatic, no one could have missed it. It was loud and it was powerful, a mighty wind, the appearance of flames of fire on their heads (that why bishops wear those pointy mitres!) and an extraordinary ability to communicate in a new language. But perhaps most powerful of all was their immediate confidence to go outside for the first time, and share the Jesus story. Jerusalem at the time was filled with pilgrims and so it was an idea mission ground for the disciples’ first attempt at evangelism. It is not just a great story, it is a model for us. The apostle Paul encourages us to earnestly seek the gifts of the Spirit. When we recognise that we are gifted, then we can share the story too with a new confidence and conviction.
Just a week later we celebrate Trinity Sunday as a Group at Norton Malreward. While on a different level, this Sunday reminds us of who God is through the three different ways we experience Him. As creator (Father), as redeemer who brought us back to God (the Son), and as the presence of Jesus now (Holy Spirit). This is the final ‘big one’ before we move into the summer months and gives us an opportunity to worship together as one body, so do come and join us for that.
We end a busy month with another opportunity to worship together with a Group service at Dundry on the 30th. These are important moments in our church calendar when we can come together, as those first disciples did, and share our story with one another. It is in this sharing that we build each other up in confidence and conviction, so we can follow their examples of discipleship and tell the story to others.
Yours in Christ, Charles Roberts.

Dinner lady at Chew Stoke Church School hangs up her apron after 40 years
The children at Chew Stoke Church School waved goodbye to Sandy Walker, one of their lunchtime supervisors, who has been helping the students for the past 40 years.
Sandy who lives in Chew Stoke, is hanging up her apron to enjoy a well-earned retirement. Ben Hewett, headteacher at the school said, “Sandy will be hugely missed by both fellow staff and pupils, she has been a huge part of our school for the last 4 decades”. A special assembly was held in the primary school to thank Sandy for all her years of hard work. She was presented with gifts and flowers from all the staff, children and families she has been involved with. As an extra special gift, the children made her a scrapbook full of memories for her to keep. Living in the area, Sandy is well known to everyone and in some cases has helped look after the children and even the grandchildren of the original students she was dinner lady to 40 years ago!
18 CHEW VALLEY LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY We have come to the end of the 45th anniversary since the Society’s foundation and on Weds 12th June this will be marked by a Summer Luncheon to be held at the Bathwick Boatman Riverside Restaurant.

Additionally we shall hear of the refurbishment of the Cleveland Pools, the old open air swimming pools just upstream from the Boating Station. At the time of my writing this there are still some places available, so, if interested, please give me a call. The events of the year started with a splendid visit to Sudeley Castle in June 2018 and then in August we held a Celebration Tea Party in the Old School Room together with an exhibition on memoirs of life in the Chew Valley and in May of this year the Society’s booklet on the same theme, “Memories of Life in the Chew Valley”, was published. This has been a huge success and is on sale in Chew Magna Post Office at £1 per copy.

As usual the May meeting was our Resolution discussion and the two diverse topics about the decline in rural bus services and the reduction of women attending for cervical screening were considered and decisions made. Our views will be taken forward to the AGM to be held in Bournemouth this year. The evening was rounded off with a Quiz where brains were taxed on general knowledge, local history and many pictures of people and places to recognise. We were very saddened to learn the death of one of our long standing member Dorothy Thompson. She was very well known for her commitment to village life including the Harvest Home and the WI and not least the fact that she was very out- spoken and extremely persuasive lady. We were pleased as a WI to bake for her funeral tea which included her favourite Victoria sponge. In June we are visiting Bristol Botanic Garden, a follow up to the talk given by curator Nicholas Wray and our regular monthly meeting will take place at Westfield Farm on Limeburn Hill. We will have guided tours of the forest garden and the vineyard to learn more about this local winemaking venture. If you would like to join us FFI tel: 01275 472600 or 332812
CHEW VALLEY FLOWER DECORATION SOCIETY
Demonstrating at our Flower Club in Compton Martin Village Hall on Monday 3rd June will be Mary Keily. Her demonstration is called ‘Guess What I Found in my Garage’.

Monday 17th June will see our practice class tutored by experienced member, Brenda Stone. Brenda’s choice of title is ‘Complement a Tea Plate (accent on colour)’. Another unusual title, but we shall be able to choose our favourite coloured flowers for this class – providing we have a tea plate to match, of course. Don’t forget to put the date of our next OPEN FLOWER DEMONSTRATION in your diaries. MONDAY 1ST JULY - it will be an AFTERNOON DEMONSTRATION at BISHOP SUTTON VILLAGE HALL. These events are always a huge success and I hope you will be able to join us. The demonstration is entitled ‘Petal Profusion’ with Gill McGregor as the demonstrator, and the doors will open at 2.00 p.m. for a 2.30 p.m. start. As always, there will be delicious refresh- ments and a few stalls for your enjoyment. All of the wonderful arrangements will be raffled off at the end of the afternoon. Tickets for visitors are £12.00 each and are available from any member of the Flower Club. Alternatively, please ring Faye on 01761 453258 or Christine on 01275 332054.
24 Chew Valley Flower Decoration Society
Our Junior Club held a meeting recently at Blagdon Club in order to produce a flower gift for ‘Mothers’ Day’. This was well attended and all 15 juniors made a ‘Living Card’ in the shape of a book, which they decorated, and then made a flower arrangement to put inside – they all looked amazing – well done, and thank you to Elaine Barwick for organising. 1st May will see the Club holding a one day ‘Workshop’ entitled Economies in Compton Martin Village Hall. This will be tutored by NAFAS demonstrator Julia Harrison. The course starts at 10.30 with coffee – there is to be an American style lunch, the day finishing between 3.30 and 4.00 p.m. There won’t be a meeting at the beginning of May due to the Bank Holiday, but on 20th May we will have a practice class with experienced Club Member, Pauline Heron, called ‘The Darling Buds of May’
Do come and join us at any of our meetings, details always in the Chew Valley Gazette under ‘What’s On’. We would love the opportunity to welcome you. Or, contact Sue Billows on [email protected].
