Thursday 11 June 2020 Dear Friends, After Thursday 11 June 2020 Dear Friends, After Trinity Sunday last week, we have now entered into a lengthy period in the Church calendar known as ‘Ordinary Time’. That means the great festivals of Christmas, Easter, Ascension and Pentecost are over for another year. Our liturgical colour will remain green now for many months - with just a few odd exceptions - until All Saints’ Day and, a few weeks after that, the beginning of a new liturgical cycle on Advent Sunday. Although the Christian faith is founded on significant events – Jesus’s birth, passion, death, resurrection and ascension - what we do in this season is consider how the Jesus story impacts on ordinary, everyday life, and how it might enable us to continue to grow (no matter what our age) and to transform the people we are, the people we can yet become, and life in the world. These past few months have been anything but ordinary, of course. In many ways, we have been forced by coronavirus to reconsider what ‘normal’ and ‘ordinary’ look like; the resultant ‘new normal’ has already become a cliché! But even in strange times there are some things that always require our ongoing attention. So, in this year’s green season, let’s take a fresh look at how the Christian faith informs the ways we relate to each other; how it influences our motives, choices and decisions; what contribution it can make to the great issues of our day; how it equips us to deal with life’s varied experiences, not least how we face up to the anxieties we have about health, work, money, relationships, children, loss, separation and death… May this green season be a productive one for all of us. You will have heard the government announcement that churches may reopen for private prayer as well as for funerals from 15 June onwards. We are working through all the guidance that is being published about how to open churches safely and how to keep members of our congregations safe. This is important and can’t be rushed. We will let everyone know when we feel it is safe and responsible to open our churches for private prayer a few hours at a time. In next week’s newsletter we will give you more details. In the meantime, do continue with prayers for our church communities and join in worship via Zoom or Facebook! St Matthias are holding their Sunday worship via zoom every Sunday at 10.00am – please contact Anne for access codes. St John the Divine and St Mary Magdalene post recorded services on the churches’ Facebook pages and then also on the Richmond Team Ministry website. Details about Morning Prayer are further down in this newsletter. The annual St Alban’s Pilgrimage is a wonderful celebration of the life of England’s first martyr Alban and a fantastic day for pilgrims from all over the country, including Richmond. Sadly the day had to be cancelled this year, but there will be an online version called The Alban Pilgrimage Reimagined on 21 June 10am via YouTube, with Revd Richard Coles, parish priest, broadcaster and former Communard, and other special guests. RSCM Music Sunday — 14 June 2020 celebrating the role of music and musicians in church life At a time when our organists cannot play, and our choirs cannot come together other than through the wonders of technology, never has it been more important/appropriate to consider how much they enrich worship. This year, instead of churches organising their own special services, we are invited to join in a specially put together service to bring singers and worshippers together across the globe. The Big Music Sunday Service, which will be live-streamed on YouTube at 6.00pm on Sunday 14 June, offers an opportunity to join with others in singing great hymns, and to sing well-known and new pieces, including the specially written anthem by Thomas Hewitt-Jones, Hymns and Psalms and Sacred Songs. More information is available via the RSCM website: https://www.rscm.org.uk/music-Sunday/ If you would like the Order of Service with all music and texts for this service, do contact Wilma via email. Prayer for Many Gifts Stephen Cherry, Dean of King’s College, Cambridge Give me, O Lord, a calm soul and a clear head, a broad mind and a generous spirit. Give me, a warm heart and a listening ear, my true voice and a gentle touch. Give me, a hunger for justice and a thirst for peace, a passion for truth and a love of mercy. Give me, a painter’s eye and a poet’s tongue, a saint’s patience and a prophet’s hope. Give me, a sage’s wisdom and a fool’s delight, a pilgrim’s purpose and an angel’s content. Amen. With every blessing for this coming week from your parish clergy, Anne, Neil and Wilma Here is some news from Helen, our Children and Youth Ministry Leader: WANTING TO GET INVOLVED?! If anyone has been wondering about getting more involved with volunteering with Children & Youth there are still opportunities to do so: helping with the Toddler Sessions (sharing the story, leading prayers and singing), assisting with SevenUp (being involved with the planning, demonstrating a science experiment, getting involved generally) or with Junior Church (Bible reading, activity, prayer or song). Additionally, while we are 'online' it is a great time to 'pop along' to a session (virtually) and see what happens and consider whether you might like to take an active role. As usual, there will be some safeguarding procedures to follow to ensure it is a good fit for both you and our young people, but this is straight forward and is about the adults having a good experience as well as keeping our most vulnerable as safe as possible. Interested in knowing more, contact Helen via email or on the mobile for a chat: 07732 901669. NEW! - Junior Church is now having a mini 20 minute Zoom meeting at 9.30am on a Sunday morning, this works well alongside: services online, the YouTube Junior Church provided by Helen, and/or the paper based Junior Church notes emailed out from Helen.

We have seen a further increase in the number of people sleeping rough this year and a steep increase in the number of people struggling with other types of homelessness. The proportion of our clients with complex health and social care needs has increased again and we are concerned by the rising number of street homeless women and young people in our services. In a context of continued funding cuts across the homelessness sector, we are pleased that our income has remained consistent this year. This allows us to continue to deliver our strategic aims of helping the most vulnerable people in our community effectively – people who have often failed to engage with alternative support and who struggle to access mainstream services.

  • 2021-02 Spring Edition
    TEAMtalk Spring 2021 A Different Form of Christmas It was a very different Christmas in RTM last December with bookable places only for the main services, no packed churches and a more limited chance to welcome those from the greater community of Richmond, who join us each year. Sadly, no Christingle services or Nativity plays for the children. All set against increasing levels of coronavirus. And yet, despite this sombre background the Christmas message was undimmed - God's great gift to humanity, the birth of the Christ Child, giving us hope and through his later sacrifice, the way to eternal life. It was a very different Christmas but it was still Christmas as the following pages show. Unable to hold our traditional Christingle service on Christmas Eve, we made up 50 Christingle make-at-home packs complete with orange, sweeties, ribbon, candle, a prayer and a link to enable a donation to be made to The Childrens’ Society. The bags were offered from the safety of the front garden of St Matthias’ vicarage in Cambrian Road, and families on their way to the Park stopped and were delighted to be offered a bag and a chance to celebrate at home. Revd Anne Crawford In this issue A Different form of Christmas: St Matthias 1-2 St John the Divine 2-4 St Mary Magdalene 4-5 Historic Vestments at SJD 6-7 Gill Gregorowski Walking with Christ - Lent 2020 8-9 Revd Anne Crawford An Adventure Like No Advent & Christmas 2020 at St Matthias Other 10 Advent 2020 certainly was a time of anticipation and waiting Fenella Warden heightened by the uncertainties of the pandemic with all the The Huguenots and the sadness, concerns and restrictions of present times.
