In the last two years 20 of these parishes have undergone a period of extensive change, with five clergy retiring and the then Rural Dean moving on to a new post. In Autumn 2014 two full-time clergy were appointed to united benefices of 6 and 3 parishes respectively, a third full-time priest was licensed to another benefice of 3 in March 2016, with a fourth, also full-time, due to be licensed to a benefice of 3 in April 2016. An additional 2 retired priests each care for 2 single parishes, and other retired clergy and 6 lay-readers continue to assist with Sunday and pastoral services. Lay participation is actively encouraged across all our churches. A new Rural Dean and Assistant Rural Dean were appointed in May 2015. Deanery Synod meetings are well attended and in 2015-2016 the Deanery funded and ran a number of courses to support local ministry. We enjoy a collegial Chapter and are committed to working together where practical to share resources, skills and experience. We are exploring an enhanced role for the Deanery as we work together to develop locally the Diocesan vision and values of ‘Living God’s Love 2020’1 The Chellington Team Ministry We now wish to appoint a further 2 full-time clergy (Team Rector & Team Vicar) to a newly formed team of 8 rural churches (7 Anglican/1 URC) in the west of the deanery: St.Peter’s Harrold & St.Mary’s Carlton with Harrold United Reform Chapel (an established LEP known as ‘Churches Together in Harrold & Carlton’) All Saints’ Odell All Saints’ Turvey2 St.Mary the Virgin Stevington2 St.Lawrence Wymington with St.Mary the Virgin Podington (united benefice) Where we are now The new team will bring together churches of diverse traditions who want to find ways to grow by working co-operatively where practicable. We want to encourage and support one another, particularly in reaching out to children and families, and explore how we can be more effective by sharing resources. We have already begun to listen to each other, to think as a group in an honest and positive way, and to pray together. Where we want to be in 5 years time To be a welcoming, active Christian presence in our villages, engaging in relevant ways with the people who live there. We want to see a renewed ministry to children, young people and families. We recognise the need to be imaginative and creative, while respecting each other’s traditions and we are prepared to embrace the changes that will be necessary to enable us fulfil our vision. 1 see summary of LGL 2020 on (www.odellbeds.net/ChellingtonTeamMinistryVacancies.htm) 2 Turvey and Stevington churches work together on an informal basis, eg. joint service on 5th Sundays 2 Section 1 VILLAGE LOCATIONS, TRANSPORT, LEISURE etc. Road Links: The 7 villages are connected by a network of country roads, with the A45 & A428 to the north and south, and A6 & A509 to the east and west.

It has a wide range of amenities and services, excellent schools, and is home to Harrold & Odell Country Park with interesting wildlife and picturesque walks. The bridge is the focal point of 3 parishes, with Carlton and Chellington a short walk across the ancient causeway spanning the floodplain and the attractive village of Odell a pleasant stroll through the Country Park. These villages together make an exciting community in which to live. The triangular village green with its ancient Buttermarket lies at the centre of the village and is still a gathering point today for events such as the annual Harrold Pit (Fun) run. A leather industry existed in the village for almost 200 years but production ceased in the 1980’s. Today many people commute to Bedford, Milton Keynes and London, while some work from home or are self-employed. Housing is mixed - attractive stone buildings, Victorian cottages and later infilling make up the central core, with recent developments providing modern family homes north of the high street. Local shops include a busy Co-op, incorporating a post office, a traditional butcher, a barber and two hairdressers, one of which offers sports therapy, massage and yoga. The village also has a beauty parlour, an Independent Financial advisor, an estate agent and a garage. Harrold and the surrounding villages are well served by the Harrold Medical Centre which also runs a dispensary. Harrold Centre, located in the historic Harrold Institute, acts as the community centre for the village and is used by many organisations - the village Toddlers group, the Snooker Club, Dance VyBz, and AdHoc, an award winning drama group. Harrold is twinned with St Pazanne, a small French town near Nantes, with exchanges taking place each year. A Harrold Heritage Trail links 31 locations of historic interest in the village. Much of the long history of Harrold and its people and details of its many clubs, societies, businesses and churches can be found on the Harrold village website www.harrold.info The County Park, consisting of 144 acres of water meadow, riverside banks, lakes and woodland attracts many visitors throughout the year. With children’s play areas, a skateboard park, an exercise area and ample space to picnic, walk or just sit and relax, there is something for everyone. Teazel’s Café serves homemade cakes, good coffee, breakfast, light lunches, and teas with seating indoors or outdoors on the veranda overlooking the lake. 4 THE VILLAGE OF CARLTON with CHELLINGTON Carlton is a friendly village with a strong sense of community. There is one pub, The Fox and an excellent village shop incorporating a Post Office. The village is a combination of two ancient communities, Carlton and Chellington, merged into one parish in 1934. New roads and homes were built in Carlton in 1960’s and 1970’s. St Nicholas Chellington was declared redundant in the early 1970s but has been extensively refurbished to create the CHELLINGTON Chellington Centre, an independent and CENTRE flourishing charity with local trustees where groups of young people can stay for short periods and experience life as a community.3 The Centre is also available for social events, exhibitions etc. Several church members are regular volunteers. Emmaus: Emmaus is an organisation that helps homeless people to help themselves. Emmaus Village Community, Carlton opened in December 2001 on the outskirts of Carlton. The companions earn a living mainly by recycling donated goods and they run a furniture shop, a bric-a-brac store, a boutique and a Bistro offering home-made meals, cakes and snacks. The community maintains strong links with St Mary’s church and its members.4 Carlton Lower School: The Hall in the school building is also the Village Hall, available for a wide variety of church and village events, exhibitions etc.

  • Sharnbrook Academy Federation Consultation on Proposed Changes to Age-Ranges, Structures and Admissions
    Dear Parents and Carers, Sharnbrook Academy Federation Consultation on proposed changes to age-ranges, structures and admissions Our last update on the structure of the Sharnbrook Academy Federation’s schools was in July. At that time we were looking to consult on change in the summer of 2015. Since then we have continued to work up the detail of these changes. We have also maintained a dialogue with Bedford Borough Council, our feeder lower schools and the St Albans Church of England Diocese. From all that we have heard, we have decided to bring our consultation forward, to shorten the period of uncertainty for parents and staff. We are now therefore publishing our Consultation document today and this can be accessed via the following link http://www.sharnbrook.beds.sch.uk/saf-governance/13589.html. Our proposal is as follows: That Harrold Priory Middle, Margaret Beaufort Middle and Sharnbrook Upper Schools should become a single school, based on the three existing sites, offering provision from age 9 (Year 5) to age 18/19 (Year 13) and that Lincroft School should extend its age-range to become an all-through secondary school offering provision from age 9 (Year 5) to age 16 (Year 11). The consultation will run until 12pm on 27 February 2015. You will have several opportunities in January to meet with us to hear more about our proposal for change. The consultation document is detailed but in summary: The proposal does not affect any lower schools and has the support of Bedford Borough Council Strong Key Stage 2 provision in Years 5 and 6 will continue By bringing Harrold Priory, Margaret Beaufort and Sharnbrook Upper School together and extending the age range at Lincroft, we can deliver a high quality Key Stage 3 curriculum and have Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 in one school.

  • Reflections & Prayers for Sunday 11 October 2020
    Reflections & Prayers for Sunday 11th October 2020 This week we look at Stewardship. During lockdown, many have used their gifts, abilities, and talents God has given by sewing masks, scrubs, or doing shopping for those isolating – all ways of loving our neighbours. Today Tom Venner helps us look at loving God with our money. 1 Contents Reading for this Sunday p. 2 Reflection p. 3-5 Prayers p. 6-7 Parish Prayers p. 8-9 Gospel Reading Luke 18:18-30 A certain ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother.’” He replied, “I have kept all these since my youth.” When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “There is still one thing lacking. Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” But when he heard this, he became sad; for he was very rich. Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” He replied, “What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.” Then Peter said, “Look, we have left our homes and followed you.” And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not get back very much more in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.” 2 Reflection from Tom Venner It is commonly said that one should not speak of religion, politics or money in polite society, but in today’s Gospel Jesus is challenging us to think of all three.
