I hope you've all enjoyed your Christmas, and that you're all set for the New Year. For many people at the moment, though, the New Year is bringing more fear and worry than excitement and anticipation, with anxiety over jobs and housing and debts. Representing the church, it can be very difficult to comment on something like the economic situation. It’s a case of damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. If we ignore the subject, then we’re just not living in the real world – but if we do weigh in, we’re talking about things we should keep our nose out of, because finance is one of many topics some people think the church shouldn’t have an opinion on. Yet churchpeople have jobs and homes and incomes – and debts and problems, too. We are just as affected by recession as anyone else – and so, of course, it’s something we too think and talk about. That doesn’t mean I’ve got a solution, of course – I’m not an economist, and high finance is a mystery to me. But this whole situation reminds me that the church has always taught about good stewardship: that we have this world in trust, and it’s our job to look after it, and hand it on to the next generation in good condition. WEST DEEPING VILLAGE HALL That’s a notion that’s very familiar to farmers, of course, looking after the land, using it well to provide food and a living now, but also looking at what they’ll be leaving to their successors, trying to make sure that they pass on something in HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF HAVING YOUR FUNCTION HERE? good heart. That means not taking the short term profit at the expense of the long-term viability; it means using wisely, not exploiting. It’s a way of life that we perhaps need to rediscover, based on sustainability, not greed. There are tables and chairs for 60 people, license available for 90 people, children’s tables and chairs for 12, overhead and/or dimming With such major worries to cope with, it can be very easy to feel we’ve no energy lighting, staging for band or disco, kitchen facilities and parking for 20 left to worry about anything else. But good stewardship isn’t just something to cars. think about when we’re doing well, in the same way that loving our neighbours, caring for other people, isn’t only for when we have no problems of our own. We need to think about the long term, about the effect we have on the world around For further information and booking please contact us – and perhaps, if we think about the long term, it might help us cope with the Mrs Gill Edwards at worry of the short term, and hope that the problems we see around us now will 60 King St., West Deeping 01778 345589. pass. Yours in Christ Carolyn Kennedy.

Thursday 7th February, The Hut People at the Village Hall, 7.30 for 8pm. This is a hot act on the UK folk scene. With an often hilarious performance style this is a mix of accordion Fieldfares are large thrushes with grey heads and rumps with rufous- and mind-boggling array of exotic percussion. The audience is taken on a voyage across coloured backs. They have a harsh chattering “cha-cha-chack” call. These the globe in a show which even has Quebecois foot percussion and dancing included for birds, like Redwings, arrive in October and depart in April for their good measure!
