Mark Forge - 01275 472 391 [email protected] www.sacredheartchew.info SUNDAY MASS 9.00 AM Please look on notice board outside church for other times or any alterations Rector’s Letter My dear friends, It’s a New Year, and for many people, a new start. Resolutions have been made, promises undertaken, the past put behind, the future embraced! Such is the potency of a New Year! So what’s new for us? It seems to me that one of the things about the church is its incredible optimism. Yes, we know it is supposed to be all about hope (that’s part of the Christmas message), but it is more than that. It has a constant desire to renew itself for each generation, and that means responding not just to the world it serves, but to the movement of the Spirit that guides it day by day. Often we regard changes in the church as simply a way of bending to modern society, but that’s quite far from the truth. The church believes the promise that we would receive guidance to do and be what God calls us to do and to be. That’s why we pray, that’s why we meet together, that’s why we study the Bible. And that is how we determine what we ought to be doing at any given time. New Year starts us off with the Feast of the Epiphany (6th Jan) – literally a revelation, one of those “Ah-ha” moments in the Christmas story. It’s the “Ah-ha” of recognition for a small baby by foreigners who take the trouble to search and find him. Traditionally their route-map is the stars, theologically their route-map is the Holy Spirit. A second “Ah-ha” moment for us is to start the year by coming together as the whole family of God. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is, on the face of it, an extraordinary concept. One week out of 52 to pray for unity among an organisation that should by its nature be united. Yet we are real enough to know how hard that can be sometimes. The week stretches from the 13th – 19th January and in Chew Magna we will pray together as local churches every day. That at least gives us an intention to strive for during the rest of the year as we pray that we may come ever closer to each other in Jesus Christ, guided by his Holy Spirit. So what else? You will see in the magazine mention of a new approach to our Filling Station meetings. We have rethought the worship in particular and hope that by using our own facilities we can make this ministry more welcoming and approachable for everyone. We will continue to have quality speakers to inspire and teach us, and the coffee and cakes will as always remain the best! We also look forward to welcoming a new bishop to Wells later in the year. It’s another Bishop Peter(!) but he comes from Basingstoke with much experience to offer us. Please pray for him as he prepares for this new ministry. Happy New Year! Charles Roberts When you look at electrical things you can see that they are made of small and big wires, cheap and expensive all lined up. Until the current runs through them there will be no light. Those wires are you and me and the current is God. We have the power to let the current pass through us, use us and produce the light of the world or we can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread. Mother Teresa The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible. George Burns For what is faith unless it is to believe what you do not see? St Augustine WE’RE OFF TO OZ!! Yes, this year DADS will perform the pantomime ‘The Wizard of Oz’ By Michael Buchanan-Smart Thursday 6th, Friday 7th and Saturday 8th February 2014 at 7.30pm and Sat 8th February at 2.30pm Tickets available from Linda on 07810 448608 / Joan on 0117 964 4391 Parish Notes Dear friends, First, to everyone who sent cards and good wishes to me, thank you! It’s wonderful to be remembered at Christmas – and I hope you had a truly blissful, blessed time. As I write, the excitement is building up – we haven’t even decorated the church yet, and that’s what really makes things start to come alive, but my head is full of Christmas services and readings, and checking details for Monday’s Carol Service. We have a new editor: A big ‘thank you’ to James Le Grys for volunteering. We need to be kind and give him time to settle in, but I have high hopes that our much-improved look this month will just get better and better! Please note that articles for inclusion should still be sent to our administrator, Lynette Cox, at the Parish Office. St Michael’s Tea-Time Mix (for under 11s) First meeting, Thursday 9th January. Last term we welcomed new children to the club, but there’s always room for more! If you are primary school age, come along to Dundry School at 3.15pm. Parents join in for the last half hour at 4.15. We start with a snack and story to give children from different schools time to join us. Ring me for an application form. Filling Station Modern, café style worship, back in action on Thursday 23rd January, with a great line-up of speakers for the new year. Come and try it! Old School Room, Chew Magna at 7.30pm. Church Magazine It’s your church’s pleasure to deliver a magazine to every house every month. You know that 2013 was a tough financial year, and it would help enormously if we could cover magazine costs by contributions from you. If you can, please donate £5 for the year. Either to our Treasurer, Arthur Gregory at 3 Beechcroft, or our wardens Jane Hamblin and Jane Lyons, or bring it to church when you come. God bless you all in this New Year, Sandra Lovern Promises, promises! Barney says God’s word Your promise has been tested through Hello friends, As we look through the Bible we and through, and I, your servant, love it can see that time after time, God has dearly. I’m too young to be important, looked after His people, providing for but I don’t forget what you tell me. them at just the right time. Psalm 119:140-41 (The Message) King David, who wrote this Psalm, knew that God keeps his promises – not just in his life, but in those he read God is love about in Scripture. David knew that God’s promises L are important and that’s why he didn’t forget what God had told him. O When I was a young we sang this song: The best book to read is the V Bible. If you read it every day, it will help you on your way. Yes, the best E book to read is the Bible. Reading our Bibles is a great way Here are four words – if you fit them correctly to get to know God’s promises for into the grid above, you’ll make LOVE, another ourselves – and to remember them! promise about who God is! Love Barney PROMISE SERVANT Barney’s TESTED TELL jokes Let’s talk to God! What’s brown What is and sticky? a pirate’s Dear God, thank you that the Bible favourite letter? A stick! is full of your promises. Thank you rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! that you keep them! Amen. thesheepdip.co.uk Chew Magna Filling Station We are looking forward to completing our second year of Filling Station in Chew Magna and moving into year three. Inevitably this ministry has been something of a learning curve for us all, and we have had to learn by experience what works and what doesn’t. We recently undertook a review of this outreach and concluded that while we have enjoyed the benefits of the Filling Station organisation for much of the ministry, there are some things we could do ourselves. To that end we will from January provide the music and worship ourselves. This was done in November through necessity, but it was so much appreciated that we have decided to move forward by continuing with our own resources. We hope that this will enable us to be encouraged and helped in our worship together with some more familiar songs, and music that we can engage with more fully.

That said I’ve been in this post long enough to know better than to tempt fate – as they used to say in South Africa, “Don’t go looking for the sun – it will find you!”, so too I think the same applies to the busy-ness of parish life. While much of May might be an oasis of calm, we begin and end with important moments in our church life.

It was an interesting afternoon of shared conversations about how we might grow in confidence to share our Jesus story. Bishop Peter told us of a comment made by the Archbishop of York at a recent Synod. “In Yorkshire the biggest topic of conversation is the weather. Where I come from (Uganda) there is no weather! If we spoke as much about Jesus as we do about the weather the whole county would be converted! Jesus is more important than the weather!” While it raised a few laughs, one has to admit he has a point.

It is inevitable when we have an ‘early’ Easter celebration, but we have much still to cover before we reach the end of March and that great festival. We have the Women’s World Day of Prayer (4th March), Mothering Sunday (6th March), Palm Sunday (20th March), Holy Week and finally Easter Day (27th March). Add to that our weekly Lent discussion groups, and the month looks a busy one.

  • Flora of Somerset
    A SUPPLEMENT TO THE FLORA OF SOMERSET EDWARD SHEARBURN MARSHALL, M.A., F.L.S. RECTOR OF WEST MONKTON. Uaunton : PUBLISHED BY THE SOMERSETSHIRE ARCH^OLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 1914 ; PREFACE. In these pages I have tried to record the various additions or corrections since the pubHcation of Mr. Murray's book ; which, though dated 1896, was not (I beheve) issued until early in the following year. There is a certain fitness in my continuing his work ; for we were intimate friends from the autumn of 1882 until his death, and I had a small share in his Somerset explorations : he was also my first real helper in the study of critical plants. I have generally followed the London Catalogue names and standard of species, which is somewhat more liberal than that of Fl. Som. ; Mr. Murray was accustomed to deal with larger areas, and his point of view was synthetical, rather than analytical. Researches have been carried on for many years in the north-west ; the results are embodied in Mr. J. W. White's Flora of Bristol, in my opinion quite the best and most thorough book of its kind, which appeared in 1912. He has most generously allowed me to make full use of it and—as the reader cannot fail to see—it has been my mainstay. Our friend Dr. C. E. Moss has written an important plant-associations work on the of the county ; and I wish to thank my numerous correspondents for their cordial help. The time has not yet come for a new edition of the Somerset Flora, ; several districts stiU need much closer investigation, and my own scanty leisure is so much occupied by other matters that I have been un- iv ablo to (lovoto a great deal of it to local excursions.
