2 60 years of being a Priest. Writes Canon Brian Dawson. Piano, Clarinet, Saxophone Musical Theatre Lessons Beginners to Grade VIII For a magazine article the Broadcaster Jeremy Vine was asked, if you could edit the past, Jane Bagot, Calthwaite what would you change? He replied, I’d stop my teenage self worrying about how my life [email protected] was going to pan out. That’s the benefit of hindsight. But as I look back over 60 years of 01768 885988, 07702 592167 Priesthood, it seems to be the fulfilment of impossible dreams & so rewarding. No one in my family had ever been to College or University. My family were keen high Church members Mindfulness Pilates of the local Church of England. But answering the call to be a priest was something else. They thought only those with private means going to Oxford or Cambridge could aspire to 7pm to 8pm and 8pm to 9pm Armathwaite school. 9.15am to 10.15am ,10.30am to such heights!

See my work on Musters facebook page Contact Paula on 07837755207 email [email protected] While I was studying at Leeds, I had to go to a Selection Conference for Ministry. The most difficult interview was with a layman, a retired military officer, who asked whether I had CRAIG BUTTERWORTH considered that I might serve the Church better as a lay person than as a priest. I must have D.O.T. A.D.I. convinced him by my sheer persistence. Of course there is much more opportunity for lay ministry now. PROFESSIONAL DRIVING TUITION DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE The Vision was to offer myself for ministry wherever I was called to serve. As long as it was THEORY TEST TUITION in the North, of course!

As many of you may know, the current equipment is nearly twenty years old, and in need of updating. The Parish Council has consulted four play equipment suppliers, who have provided plans for a new stimulating and appealing play area, with the aim to support social and physical development among young people. We will be holding a drop-in meeting to display the plans and to gain feedback from residents as to which design they would like to see enacted. We are particularly interested in the views of local children, who would benefit the most from the improvements. The play area as a whole is an important community asset and the Parish Council is asking the community at large for support with the project, both in the form of fundraising and physical help to improve the rest of the play area, removing debris and overgrown foliage, once the project is underway.

The meeting will be held at Armathwaite Old School Hall, on October 12th, 2019 between 9am and 12pm. Please drop-in to see the designs and discuss future plans for the play area. 4 A Stroll Through Life I have always been fascinated by the uniqueness of God’s creation. Each day, as I walk through my Greaves Contractors Ltd HANDYMAN neighborhood and soak in the beauty of the trees, the flowers, and the wildlife around me, I am awestruck by God’s unlimited imagination and his vast creative powers.

18 THE INGLEWOOD GROUP OF CHURCHES SERVICES St Catherine’s Church Update

It’s been an eventful summer. We welcomed visitors from all over the UK and many parts of Sunday 6th October – Trinity 16 Europe and N. America, notably Fr. Kevin Hughes, a Mill Hill Missionary. He presented 9.30am Armathwaite Harvest Festival parishioners Teresa Mathews and Denis Smith with silver medals, commending them for their 9.30am Calthwaite Harvest Festival work over many years in support of his colleagues. 9.30am Ivegill Holy Communion The parish remembered two local men, unknown to most. A UNITY service, with 11.00am Hesket Morning Worship representatives from 12 local churches, was held at St. Cuthbert’s to mark the feast of St. 11.00am Skelton Harvest Festival John Boste of Dufton. In his honour some colleagues climbed Great Dun Fell under low cloud and in driving winds. In the circumstances celebration of his feastday continued with a th th welcome drink in the nearby Stag Inn. Also, this year is the 40 anniversary of the Sunday 13 October – Trinity 17 assassination of John Bradburne, born in Skirwith in 1921. He was a Franciscan missionary in 9.30am Ainstable Holy Communion Zimbabwe. He was murdered in 1979, having refused to abandon the lepers he had looked 9.30am Ivegill Morning Worship after for many years. The cause for his beatification is underway and we are intent on finding 11.00am Skelton Morning Worship out more about this former parishioner. 11.00am Hesket Morning Worship Sadly, Fr. John’s father died suddenly during the summer. The parish was represented at the 11.00am Hutton BCP Communion funeral in Garstang and the Winstanley family greatly appreciated the messages they 11.30am Armathwaite Messy Church received, including from all the churches in Penrith. Parishioners are grateful to the local priests, both active and retired, who served the parish while Fr. John was with his family. Sunday 20th October – Trinity 18 During the summer St. Catherine’s itself held one of the largest funerals witnessed in this area 9.30am Armathwaite Morning Worship for many years. This marked the passing of Dickie Curry, a leading member of the Traveller community. In the absence of Fr. John, the service was led by Fr. Peter from Appleby. Some 9.30am Calthwaite Family Holy Communion 300 people from across the UK and the Republic of Ireland squeezed into the church and 11.00am Skelton Holy Communion there were as many outside lining both sides of Drovers Land. It was a huge tribute to Dickie 6.00pm Hutton Prayer Book Evening Prayer and a very moving display of solidarity with his family. We are among the parishes in the Diocese of Lancaster which support the work of the Holy Sunday 27th October – Trinity 19 Spirit Sisters of Monze in Zambia, where our Bishop Paul worked for many years. Through donations, sales of tea/coffee after Sunday Masses, and the proceeds of a Barbecue we 10.30am Hesket Holy Communion &Service of Thanksgiving recently sent them £6,000. We were delighted to hear in return that work on the long-planned Revd Canon Myrtle Langley’s Neo-Natal Unit for their Hospital is now underway. This is a very worthwhile project which 25 years of ministry & big birthday should reduce infant mortality rates in the large area which they serve and our efforts on their behalf will be sustained. Friday 1st November-All Saints Service We are very proud of our Parish School which, especially in the past decade, has done 7.30pm Calthwaite All Saints Service excellent work. At the beginning of the summer we said goodbye to our leavers as they sang ‘Never Forget’. Now we welcome a new cohort. We pray that both will be guided to reach their full potential.
