Welcome to our Christingle celebration!

Unfortunately, we cannot have the usual Christingle service on Christmas Eve, but the church will be open until 8pm that day if you would like to visit the Festival of Angels display at this special time. Every year, all across the country, Christingle celebrations bring people together to celebrate light, hope and community. This year, you may be joining in with others in a socially distanced way, or perhaps you're planning on celebrating Christingle on your own or with your household. Wherever or whenever you're joining in, you'll be part of a community of people sharing the light of Christ together and thinking about how to share the light with others. In this celebration there’ll be an opportunity to make your own Christingle, to pray and reflect on the real meaning of Christmas. Christingle means ‘Christ’s Light’ and it is a symbol of the Christian faith. Lots of churches hold Christingle services around Christmas time. Christingles are made up of different parts, each one being there to remind us of something.

• The orange represents the world. • The candle reminds Christians of Jesus who they believe to be the light of the world. A NEW VICAR FOR OUR PARISH • The red ribbon goes all round the 'world' and being the colour of blood, reminds Christians that Jesus died. We are delighted to announce the appointment of Alison Hardy who, as Priest in Charge of our and • The four cocktail sticks could have either of two meanings; the four seasons or the four corners of the world. surrounding parishes, becomes the new Vicar of St Paternus.

Look After Yourself over the Winter 1. Follow a routine It’s important to create a routine to give your day structure. • Try to get up and go to bed at the same time every day, aiming for seven to nine hours of sleep per night. • If you’re working from home, make sure you schedule in lunch breaks, and time to move and stretch. • Make time for exercise. This can include activities like lifting weights, an online dance class or a long walk.

2. Eat well Try to prepare nutritious meals if you can. Eating well is good for both your physical and mental health. • Eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day to make sure you’re getting a range of vitamins and minerals. Fresh, frozen, dried and tinned options all count. • Have regular meals and stick to healthy snack options such as fruit, or a small handful of unsalted nuts and seeds. • Consider taking a daily supplement of vitamin D (10 micrograms), especially during the winter. This is particularly important if you aren’t exposed to much sunlight, are over 65 or have dark skin.

3. Keep hydrated Drinking enough fluids helps your body function properly. The Eatwell Guide recommends you have six to eight glasses of fluid a day, but drink a bit more if you’re exercising.

4. Avoid excess It can be easy to form unhealthy habits as a way of coping. While these might feel like they’re helping you deal with the situation, they often make you feel worse in the long term. • Try cutting down on how much caffeine you drink. Having too much caffeine, or having it later in the day, can affect how well you sleep. It may also cause you to feel irritable and add to any feelings of anxiety. • While it might be tempting, don’t turn to alcohol, smoking or other recreational drugs as coping strategies for stress. They will only make things worse.

5. Take time to switch off While it’s important to stay informed, try not to constantly refresh the news if you find it makes you feel anxious, angry or stressed. You might also find it helpful to spend some time away from social media. This might be especially true if you’re in a local lockdown, but many of your friends aren’t. Taking some slow deep breaths can help reduce anxiety levels and help you reset. Try breathing in for four counts, hold your breath for four counts and breathe out for five counts.

6. Spend time in nature Take time to be in nature if you can. If you can go outside, then try going for a walk or run in a green space. If you can’t leave your house, just looking out of your window can help. Take five minutes to notice five different aspects of nature such as: looking at your house plants, observing the cloud patterns in the sky, listening to birds singing or the sound of rainfall outside, feeling the cool air against your skin and smelling the scent of some flowers or herbs.

7. Maintain relationships Many of us have been apart from some of our loved ones for a long time now. This can be very difficult and upsetting. Try to keep in regular contact using phone or video calls if you can. Writing letters or sending cards might also be a nice change if you’re feeling tired of video calls. Being at home with family or flatmates may also be challenging times. Try to talk to and respect each other if issues come up. Try to enjoy spending more time with those you live with if you can. If you know people who live alone, especially the elderly or those who are vulnerable, keep in touch with them as best you can.

8. Be kind It’s natural to feel a whole range of feelings during times of uncertainty and change. Some days will be better than others. This is a time to be kind to yourself and to those around you. Be patient with yourself and your loved ones.

9. Seek support For many people, the idea of going into a stricter lockdown may feel overwhelming. You might feel sad, anxious, stressed or angry. How you feel might also change as time goes on. If you’re struggling, make sure you reach out to somebody and talk about how you’re feeling. This could be a loved one, your GP, your employer or a mental health organisation. The following charities offer support: Mind, Samaritans, Age UK, Young Minds.

Good Luck! A little late for this Christmas but what a fab idea for next year! Instead of a shop bought chocolate advent calendar, why not make one of these? Make a board and with 12 little metal buckets (can be found easily on eBay), numbered 1-12 on one side and 13-24 on the other. Fill them with anything of your choice, especially small homemade items or even healthy snacks. The board can be tree shaped or a narrow, horizontal board that sits on the wall. Once a number is used, turn the bucket around and re-fill!

MAKE DO AND MEND AT CHRISTMAS! Choosing contrasting fabric, again cut into rectangles. These would make a cute picture if framed or could be If being in lockdown this year gave you more time to used on the front of a special Christmas card craft, mend or make do with what you had at home, how about continuing this thriftiness throughout Christmas? These home-made decorations won’t break the piggy bank and are a great examples of recycling. Why not get the children involved?

The list of things that can be used to make Christmas decorations are endless: Fabric scraps; newspapers; toilet rolls; lightbulbs; Christmas cards; twigs; pine cones; acorns; sweet wrappers; jam jars; cardboard; old jumpers and old socks (preferably washed ones!).

You may of fabric onto the twig until gently make a hole that goes all the way through the ball end up with a whole forest covered. Trim the lengths from the top to the bottom. Take a piece of ribbon and on the window sill! to taper into a tree shape. gently push it through the hole with the help of the wooden skewer so that it comes out the other end. Tie a knot so that it doesn’t slip back through the hole (you could also add a wooden bead for decoration). Using PVA glue, decoupage the cut fabric all over the ball and hey presto!

CARDBOARD Cardboard has so many uses. These 3D trees could be painted and have glitter, pom poms, buttons added to make them even more fabulous.

DON'T FORGET WE HAVE A BUS SERVICE!

The 425 Transport for Cornwall bus serves the central core of North Petherwin, stopping at Langdon Cross, Navarino and Petherwin Gate amongst others. It is scheduled to stop at Petherwin Gate, opposite the bus shelter four times each day, Monday to Saturday. All but the first of these journeys goes on to Tesco, so great for shopping both in town and out of town. The last of the journeys is outward bound only. This great little village service deserves to be well supported as life gets back to normal, otherwise it might at best be pruned or at worst cut out all together. So why not give your car a rest from time to time and enjoy the ride and get to know other villagers at the same time? Remember, bus pass holders travel free! Full details of the service, including intermediate stops and return times can be found on the web by searching for “425 Cornwall Bus” and on the Petherwin Gate bus shelter notice board.
