Thy Kingdom Come 2020
Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement that invites Chrisans around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus from Ascension Thursday 21st May to Pentecost Sunday 31st May.
Praying for others to know Jesus is one of the most powerful things we can do. Persistent prayer for others brings transformaon to their lives.
Consistently praying for others takes discipline, and there are many ways that we can build up habits that will help us to pray for our friends and family.
Choose five people you would regularly like to pray for and write their names down onto a list. If you’re not sure who to pray for, ask God to guide you as you choose. Once you have seled on 5 names, commit to praying for them regularly by praying the following:
Loving Father, in the face of Jesus Christ your light and glory have blazed forth. Send your Holy Spirit that I may share with my friends [here, name your friends] the life of your Son and your love for all. Strengthen me as a witness to that love as I pledge to pray for them, for your name’s sake. Amen.

18 A leer from Ali Brown—the Children and Families Worker of Barcombe, Fletching and Newick Churches
Hello everyone!
Having now been in this job since January 2019, it has been a privilege to get to know children and families from the three Churches and communies of Barcombe, Fletching and Newick and I have really enjoyed collecve worship assemblies, clubs, cafés and events in all three villages. However, the rhythm of weekly travel from one locaon to another has been temporarily put on hold by Covid 19 since mid-March. Working with the amazing Reverends James and Paul, there has been a hasty shi to online connecvity via live streaming, emailing, zooming and chang on the phone. I was very sad to have to postpone Newick’s One Wonderful World Easter Holiday Club but hope that those children who were down to come along enjoyed receiving their Easter packs and that we can get the Holiday Club running in August! There are some lovely photos of the children’s cra s on the Newick Church webpage in the Youth News Picture Gallery page.
Quickly grappling with new technology has not been easy for the more technophobe amongst us like myself, but I am managing to live stream a reflecve moment and Bible reading for children and families from Newick Church’s Facebook page most mornings at 10am and the new Spring Club has been quickly established for cra s and a families’ service on Sunday mornings at 10am. It has meant transforming the dining room table into a make-shi studio with extra lamps, stands, microphones etc but seems to be working! It is great fun giving live shout-outs to people ‘on air’ and I’ve picked up a few good ps from Joe Wicks when he does his Youtube workouts each morning (which are tough!).
So, for families who are looking to connect with Chrisanity and Church throughout this really destabilising, unnerving and weird me, take a look at Newick and Barcombe Church’s Facebook pages and websites for video streams and resources. When we can get together again, it would be wonderful to see you in person at Church so you can tell myself, James and Paul how you got through it!
Keep safe and take care, Ali x www.newickchurch.org/stay-at-home-worship/ and www.facebook.com/ saintmarysnewick/ www.barcombe.net/church/youth/ and hps://en-gb.facebook.com/pg/ barcombechurch/posts/

22 The Art Society Uckfield, Lewes and Newick Self Sufficiency
As our Art Society is now closed for the season and with me on my hands I have come to think how my parents coped during the War. In many ways they had to become self reliant and self sufficient. Almost in every back garden a nice lile pig was being faened up. Now I don't want to suggest that we all rush out and buy piglets but how about hens? They need only a small amount of ground and give you lovely eggs in return.
I began self sufficiency many years ago when we first moved down to Sussex. We started with Rhode Island Reds, a good docile breed. I seem to remember there was an egg in their travelling box before they had even arrived, a good sign and they laid prolifically from then on. Hens are easy to look a er, they just need a nice dry and safe house and run.
One a ernoon in early Spring I was dismayed to find one missing. The Fox had obviously got her for dinner. Sadly I kept them all locked in for a couple of days and then went back to normal Three weeks or so later we were rewarded when she strode in with ten lile chicks trong along behind. Incidentally she also taught our dog beer manners. He had not been averse to chasing the hens occasionally and although he never caught one he caused quite a bit of distress. On this parcular morning he approached one of the chicks with the look in his eye of 'Ah here is a nice lile aperif, ' Big mistake, Henny Penny aacked full frontal and then pecked, no holds barred, his fast retreang behind. He never touched the hens again.
I do recommend keeping hens especially now, not only for the eggs but for the entertainment they provide. I can spend ages just watching them wandering around, pecking here and there. We always let us out if we are home and that is going to be for a long me now. They are also very keen on geng into the house if they can so watch out! Any advice needed and I can be reached on anne[email protected]

25 Message from Roy Burmann - District Councillor
Dear Residents - some snippets for you. Now we are in the Covid-19 lockdown it is hard to remember what is was like to just get up and go to meengs gatherings events and socials. But we must put up with it as we are protecng the NHS from overload and saving lives. We must also express our thanks to the essenal workers connuing through this difficult health onslaught, not just the Nurses Doctors and Health-workers but the Food businesses & their delivery and shop teams Sewage workers Refuse collectors Service Engineers and Depot workers keeping our phones internet gas water and electricity all running. Our Council in cooperaon with local voluntary support groups are making sure the venerable are geng their essenal supplies of food and medicine and although this bale is tough it is heartening to see the community in general rallying round to help each other.
Before lock down there were several worthwhile events locally to acknowledge the Holo- caust Memorial day & I aended a special concert. It is so important to remember & inform the next generaon about this horrific episode so we avoid repeang it ever again. I helped run a fun Burns Event for our Constuency Associaon where our Local MP Maria Caulfield & Tom Tugendhat MP who is chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Commiee informed us as to what they expect the next year or so to hold for our relaons with Eu- rope USA & the rest of the world.
I aended the first Scruny Climate Change Panel of the Lewes District Council. We are helping to form policies & acons the Council must take to minimize its own impact on Climate Change & to be an exemplar for all our community. I aended a Meeng of NEASSA to plan our acvies for the VE day 75 year celebraons starng on the special Bank Holiday Friday 8 May 2020. Also the support & pastoral work the associaon carries out with local ex Emergency & Armed Services personnel was reported. I was so im- pressed that at their AGM I was proud to be accepted as a Trustee to help them further. I visited two local VEOLIA recycling plants - The Newhaven Energy Recovery Facility & the Woodlands In-Vessel Composng Facility to see our ever improving efforts to increase recycling & avoid land fill. Of course however good these are nothing will be beer than reducing the waste we create whenever we can. I spoke against increasing the Council Tax to the maximum allowed at the budget meeng. This rise is to fund an increase in reserves which I did not feel well warranted & had not been needed up to now. The District Plan part 2 was adopted which will make our Neighbourhood plan more secure but we will need to revise & update it soon to keep it at full strength. Myself & others addressed the Planning Commiee which again refused permission for the over-sized wrongly-sited development between The Rough & Vernons Road & their appeal was also lost. They have applied again but without sufficient changes to make it acceptable so I have opposed it again and prevailed on the Council not to rush to a decision but to wait ll the Covid-19 lockdown is over so it can been properly considered and I trust refused again.
26 Message from Roy Burmann /cont….
There has to be a further public hearing on the Mitchelswood Farm Development. This refusal must be upheld to protect our policies in the Neighbourhood Plan. Despite great efforts by myself the Parish Council & Lady Julia & Paddy Cumberbatch it will not be held in the Village Hall to make it easier for you all to aend instead a special bus will run for residents. The hearing was to be on 21st April in the Kings Church in the factory estate at Brooks Road Lewes but now is postponed unl a er the Covid-19 has passed us by.
The Council meengs are of course all cancelled but we are having regular telephone conferences to ensure all the essenal services and special requirements for our vul- nerable residents are working properly and I have also held several similar virtual meengs with the charies school governor boards and other bodies I work on which although they are not ideal do let us get on with some of our programs and workload and are the best we can do at the moment. Please all keep Healthy and follow the instrucons to protect yourselves and those around us.
Best Wishes Roy Burman

29 Bee Swarms
It will soon be that me of the year again (end of April. May, June and somemes July) when honey bees will start to swarm. Swarming is the natural way that a colony of honey bees reproduces. It happens when a new queen has been formed and is almost ready to emerge from her cell.
Unlike humans, the parent queen and flying bees leave their home rather than waing for the offspring to leave and set up independently.
In preparaon for swarming honey bees gorge on the hive honey, prior to their journey in search of a suitable nesng site. When they are ready to go, the bees leave the hive and can appear as a cloud in the air. We tend to spot them when they are resng as a cluster, aached to a tree branch, with the queen at their centre. Without her, there is no future for the colony. If you are unsure what a swarm looks like, please google it and select images to see.
The resng place for a swarm can be in the most unusual places and should not be confused with a wasp nest. Swarming bees have lile interest in people when in this mode, having gorged themselves on honey from the hive, prior to leaving it. As such, whilst it might look inmidang, they really are quite docile. They’re priority is to find a safe place to set up their new colony, so you have lile to fear from them. However, you should sll act with cauon as bees are wild insects.
Please contact me If you see a resng swarm. I’m a local beekeeper who will come and collect it. I have several hives on farms surrounding Newick. Newick Honey is available from the counter at the Pantry tea rooms. I will have small tubs available this year at the farm, for those who’d like larger quanes.

Self Sufficiency
Last month I wrote about the advantages of keeping hens, especially now. Well it seems that an awful lot of people have done just that and it is quite difficult at present to find any. However don’t give up, there should be lots available in the next month or so as it is the me that poultry producers have lots of young stock for sale.
Somemes, if you are lucky, you do not have to buy them at all which leads me to tell you all about a certain young cockerel called St Pete. We live in Chailey near to the Church St Peter’s, and one a ernoon I received a phone call from our Rector asking if I had lost any hens. He had found two wandering about the green. I said I would go and check and found none were missing. I rang him back to find him in great distress because one had just been run over in the Church car park. Could I please come immediately and rescue the other one before disaster struck again?
I rushed over with an old fishing net I keep for such purposes and then the fun began! I was only glad that none of our parishioners were there to witness as we chased the elusive bird round and round, in and out of hedges and up and down the lane. Eventually we were successful and, saying goodbye to a rather out of breath Rector, I returned with a very cross but also rather exhausted cockerel.
We called him St Pete, obviously, and he was an absolutely star. He was very gentle and polite with the other hens and lived out a long and useful life with them all. I o en wondered where he came from, we did ask around but with no result. Sadly people do just dump cockerels and I suppose he and his friend must have been one of those. Annee Shelford

32 WORLD DAY OF PRAYER On Friday, 6th March, Fletching Church held a Service to celebrate The World Day of Prayer; this year being led by the Chrisan Women of Zimbabwe. This Service is held over a period of 36 hours in 170 countries and islands around the world, travelling through Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas finishing in American Samoa, all parcipang in a great wave of prayer encircling the globe.
Each year the service is wrien by a different country, this year being prepared by the Women of Zimbabwe with the theme ‘Rise! Take your Mat and Walk’. We were encouraged to reflect on the difficules and unrest that have plagued their country for many years. They shared their challenges and hopes for the future as they connue their o en turbulent journey towards full reconciliaon.
The congregaon came from fellow member churches from Newick, Nutley, Maresfield, Chailey, Heron’s Ghyll and Fairwarp. They were met at the door by Maggie Kay in Zimbabwean naonal costume. Having lived in the country for many years, Maggie was able to provide flags, painngs, etc., which helped set the scene.
We heard about the polical unrest and armed conflict effecng society. How the women connue to pray and educate themselves as peace builders and to stand for reconciliaon in their land. The country suffers huge unemployment; many finding it difficult to provide for their families parcularly in the rural areas. Many suffer from domesc violence. There is an awareness and lobbying for gender equality. O en families are headed by children who have lost their parents to HIV and AIDS.
The majority of the populaon is Chrisan and we prayed for the integrity of their churches and country, and for the needs of women and children. The congregaon recognsied the commitment to support all communies with acons of love, peace and reconciliaon.
The preparaon for the day is vast. An internaonal commiee is based in New York and there are naonal commiees in each parcipang country. Many thanks to all who contributed to the Fletching service. Next year the service will be held at Newick Church led by the Chrisan Women of Vanuatu. The theme will be ‘Build on a Strong Foundaon’.

33 Message from Chris Armitage, Chairman of Newick Parish Council
Much has been happening in Newick over the last 3 weeks as you are probably aware of. The work done reflects hugely on this community and is a real credit to you all. Newick Community Response now boasts 487 members, a marvellous effort.
Newick Parish Council along with all other councils in the UK have been disrupted by the lockdown and social distancing. Our last meeng which should have been held on 24th March had to be cancelled. We have been taking advice from a variety of “trade professionals” as to how best to proceed so as not to disadvantage the residents of Newick but keeping within the law. It was vital that we connue to have monthly meengs to discuss urgent finance, planning and environmental issues as well as COVID 19 related maers.
Last week the Government published regulaons to allow virtual commiee meengs. These regulaons are common to all councils and all sub commiees and all must adhere to the new set of regulaons. No doubt there will be concerns and not all District/Parish Councils will want to embrace this change. Virtual commiees face technical challenges. To help safeguard against glitches on the night, some councils have been holding dry runs of virtual commiees. Newick Parish Council will certainly be having a pracce run.
For our part we are determined that it will be business as usual. Newick Parish Council will hold its first virtual meeng at 7pm on 28th April 2020 and will connue to ‘meet’ on the last Tuesday of every month using this method unl either May 2021 or unl all restricons on movement are li ed for all member of the community. During this me no separate commiee meengs will be held, and commiee business will be covered by the relevant commiee chairs in the full Parish Council meeng.
Agendas will be published on the newick.net website within the normal mescales. Agenda will be a lot less than normal as the meeng content will inially only be urgent and mportant maers, for example planning applicaons, budget approval, grant applicaons. Members of the general public will be able to contribute as normal, albeit virtually. The meengs will be recorded, and minutes wrien and published as usual.
A new standing order for how meengs run, based on the new legal framework will be considered at the start of the first meeng. Guidance indicates that new appointments should not be made, and this is likely to include co-opon. The Chairman will not be elected in the annual meeng in May. As much as possible meengs will run within the exisng standing orders.

One Hour of Exercise 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV) 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore, honour God with your bodies. Dear Lord, There are so many ways to keep fit and healthy, whether that’s inside or outside the home and so many benefits to moving about that make us feel happy! King David danced and rejoiced in your name and so can we. Thank you for the gi of movement! Let’s dance! In Jesus’ Name, Amen
