Grapevine

June 2020

Subscription : 40p per copy

A JOY AND A PRIVILEGE I wonder, do you sometime find yourself recalling a song or a hymn for no apparent reason? I do. Music and song can often evoke memories of events, places and people. Recently I found myself singing a chorus based on the responsorial psalm 121. The opening line is as follows. ‘I rejoiced when I heard them say, let us go to God’s house today’. As soon as the tune and words entered my mind, I had strong memories of learning this simple chorus in my hometown church. For a few moments I could recall the church building, familiar faces, the music group leading worship and a great sense of joy. These were the carefree days of the early 1980’s in the church I came to faith in. I guess I took it for granted that my church would always be ‘open’ a place of welcome, worship and belonging. For people of faith their place of gathering for worship is an integral part of their life of faith. The various churches I have belonged to over the years have shaped and fashioned me as a Christian and as a priest. Since the outbreak of Covid 19 and the subsequent lockdown we have found ourselves in a world we could not have imagined. So much has changed. I think that we have become increasingly aware of the amount of mental and emotional strain individuals and communities are under. Like so many other people I have found the closure of our churches most difficult. I understand the sadness and frustration that some folk feel about this. I think this is possibly even more of an issue in our smaller rural communities, where some folk just want able to sit in church for private prayer and reflection. We need to be mindful of the reason why our churches are closed, it is to protect individuals and reduce the risk of spreading the virus. In the wake of the most recent statement from the Prime Minister we are beginning to see some relaxation and potentially a gradual/phased reopening of Churches. Just prior to the recent VE Day celebrations our Archbishop gave new permissions for some limited access to church buildings. Amid the instructions I was delighted to read that the clergy are now allowed to enter their churches for private prayer and to record or live stream services. On Sunday the 10th of May it was my joy and privilege to visit all three churches of our benefice and to offer prayer for our congregations and communities. On Thursday 14th May I recorded a service at St Anne’s Ellerker. In my opening words I acknowledged my indebtedness to Churchwardens and others in leadership in our churches. I also said that these are days when we are all called to be patient and gracious. I long for the day when we can return to our churches and for our song to be. ‘I rejoiced when I heard them say, let us go to God’s house today’. Peace and Grace. Rev’d Mike Proctor

WITHOUT THE TRINITY, THERE IS NO CHRISTIANITY

The Trinity is easier to say than to explain. Christians believe in one God, made up of three equal Persons. It is fundamental to the Nicene Creed, which sets out the definitive doctrine of the Trinity for more than two billion Christians worldwide, including all Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans, Presbyterians and Reformed Christians.

The theologian Ian Paul, writing on the Book of Revelation, points out that chapter five has a wonderful depiction of the Trinity in action. He writes: “…another figure appears in the drama, the lion who looks like a lamb. … Here is the one who fulfils the hopes of God’s people Israel, as the promised anointed Davidic king who was to come. Here is one who is fierce and powerful enough to conquer their enemies, and tear them apart.

“And yet when John sees Him, He is like a weak and vulnerable lamb who has been slaughtered, just as the Passover lamb eaten by the people, the suffering servant who was ‘wounded for our transgressions’ and the lamb offered as an atoning sacrifice. He is the one who was slain, but now stands, and shares the throne with God, and with Him sends the Spirit to enact His will on earth. Here we have the most explicit (and perhaps the most complex) Trinitarian statement in the whole New Testament”

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK

The Archbishop of Canterbury has paid tribute to the Archbishop of York in General Synod at what would have been his final Synod.

Archbishop Justin Welby praised the Archbishop of York who is currently travelling in the Pacific. He said: “He (John Sentamu) has gone to visit parts of the world which are suffering the effects of climate change right now. He has gone typically to be alongside those who are suffering: a pattern of his life throughout his ministry.”

The Archbishop continued: “Speaking about Sentamu when he’s not here … means we can show our gratitude, thanks and love for him without him being able to stop us.”

Recalling the Archbishop of York’s work on the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry, Archbishop Justin added that “he has said that he himself was stopped at least eight times by the police”.

Reflecting on the Archbishop of York’s impact nationally, the Archbishop of Canterbury said: “The Church of England will miss you Sentamu and the wider country will miss you. There aren’t a lot of bishops who are so well known outside the church.”

Editor This article was written earlier this year, but is still highly topical to pay tribute to a wonderful Archbishop whom many of us met when he visited our area couple of years ago. And we can also be with him on his last service as per the information below:

The Archbishop of York will preach as part of the national online service broadcast by the Church of England on Sunday 7th June at 9.00am. This will be the last day in his role as Archbishop of York. His wife, the Revd Margaret Sentamu, will lead a time of prayer in the service.

The Archbishop said, “I am pleased to have this opportunity for the second time to take part in this online service on what will be my last day in office. Like many of us, I too, am missing being able to worship alongside others. I hope that many will join us on 7th June as we continue this way of worshipping. Visit www.churchofengland.org

THE SOUTH CAVE SHOW

It is with a very heavy heart that the Committee has taken the decision to cancel the 136th South Cave Show due to be held at the August Bank Holiday. We have taken the decision now for all sorts of reasons. The Show takes a lot of putting together and receives an incredible amount of support from local firms, the community, the council and the WI, all of whom will be affected in one way and another.

The Government is keeping the country informed about what is happening but it is an impossible task to predict the future. How long will the corona virus last? and what will the effects be on all of us? We do not want to go ahead with an event which could compromise so many in our community.

We are aware that this will be a disappointment for our many loyal competitors and for all those new competitors who were planning to enter this year! Do not be dismayed as we will be back … Next Year 2021 August 30th with the same old favourites and a few new categories too.

If you were a Trophy Winner we will be in touch at a later date.

Keep well and fit and we look forward to seeing you in 2021. Happy gardening, Baking, Crafting, and any of the activities which you can enjoy within the context of your own garden and home.

South Cave Show Committee

GOOD NEWS!

After weeks of closure, we opened the gates again on May 13th with a slightly restricted service. Although there are no toilets or refreshments available, we do have an amazing selection of herbaceous perennials, shrubs, herbs and Yorkshire provenance wildflowers. Please check our Facebook page for up to date news.

We continue to support our trainees with work packs containing flower shapes to colour, seeds and other related activities. Our Facebook community page for trainees, parents/carers, staff and volunteers has proved very popular too.

Photos – Charlotte tending her plants at home, and Richard colouring the plants from his work pack.

JOBS IN THE GARDEN FOR JUNE

1. Pinch out side shoots on tomatoes 2. Prune many spring-flowering shrubs after they have flowered 3. Plant out summer bedding 4. Stake tall or floppy plants 5. A water-wise tip: Cultivating and adding organic matter to your soil will increase its ability to conserve water. You could also consider diverting rainwater from your gutters into a water butt.

THE SUN, THE MOON AND THE STARS

This year, at various times during the month of June, the position of the Moon will help us find some of the other planets.

First, at dawn on the 8th of the month, the Moon will be low down in the southern sky with Jupiter and then Saturn just to the left and slightly higher in the sky. At the same time on the 9th the Moon will appear to pass below these two gas giant planets.

Second, at dawn on the June 12th, the Moon will be 15 degrees above the south- eastern horizon with Mars to the left and up from it. At the same time on the 13th, the Moon will be just below Mars.

Mars is a very interesting planet. It is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System after Mercury. It is named after the Roman god of war. In some ways Mars is similar to the Earth. Its days and seasons are comparable because Mars’ and the Earth’s rotational periods and rotational axis tilts are similar. However, the time it takes to orbit the Sun, its year, is nearly two Earth years long. Mars has two very small, irregularly shaped moons, Phobos and Deimos, whereas the Earth’s Moon is relatively large and nearly spherical.

Mars is often called the 'Red Planet' because of its distinctively reddish appearance, which is caused by the prevalence of iron oxide on its surface. Its surface also includes many impact craters similar to those on the Moon and it has valleys, deserts and polar ice caps like the Earth. Mars also boasts the Solar System’s largest volcano and highest known mountain; Olympus Mons.

Mars is a much explored planet. If you are interested, please have a look on the NASA website www.nasa.org, ‘Missions’ tab, ‘Curiosity Mars Rover’ and ‘Insight Mars Lander’.

Going back to the Moon being a pointer to other planets in June, at dawn on the 19th, Venus will be very low down in the sky and just to the left of the Moon but may be very difficult to pick out as its position will be very close to that of the rising Sun.

On June 21st this year, the summer solstice, also known as midsummer, occurs. On this day the North Pole has its maximum tilt toward the Sun and we enjoy the longest period of daylight of the year. In these COVID 19 days, I wonder whether the new-age druids will be able to hold their celebration at Stonehenge as the Sun rises on that day!

Happy stargazing from Videoastra1955

FATHERS’ DAY, A TIME TO CELEBRATE MALE ROLE MODELS

In the UK, USA and Canada, the third Sunday in June is Father's Day. It’s usually a good time for sons and daughters to take their father to his favourite restaurant, or to watch a favoured sport, or whatever else he enjoys doing.

How will you celebrate it this year? So if your own father cannot be with you, how about a Zoom meeting?

How do these special days ever get started, anyway? Well, Father’s Day began because way back in 1909 there was a woman in Spokane, Washington, named Sonora Louise Smart Dodd. That year she heard a church sermon about the merits of setting aside a day to honour one's mother. Although Mother's Day was just beginning to gather widespread attention in the United States at this time, it had of course been in the English calendar for some time. But Sonora Louise Smart Dodd knew that it was her father who had selflessly raised herself and her five siblings by himself after their mother had died in childbirth. So the sermon on mothers gave Sonora Louise the idea to petition for a day to honour fathers, and in particular, her own father, William Jackson Smart.

Sonora Louise soon set about planning the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane in 1910. With support from the Spokane Ministerial Association and the YMCA, her efforts paid off, and a ‘Father’s Day’ was appointed. Sonora Louise had wanted Father’s Day to be on the first Sunday in June (since that was her father's birthday), but the city council didn't have time to approve it until later in the month. And so on June 19th, 1910, the first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane.

Gradually, other people in other cities caught on and started celebrating their fathers, too. The rose was selected as the official Father's Day flower. Some people began to wear a white rose to honour a father who was dead, and a red one to honour a father who was living. Finally, in 1972, President Richard Nixon signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday of June as Father's Day - a permanent, national holiday in USA but just a very very special day to remember Fathers in UK.

THEY WERE ALL IN THE MONTH OF JUNE

It was:

250 years ago, on 11th June 1770, English explorer Captain James Cook discovered the Great Barrier Reef off Australia when his ship ran aground on it and was badly damaged.

200 years ago, on 19th June 1820, Joseph Banks, British naturalist, died. He was President of the Royal Society for 41 years, developed the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, into one of the world’s leading botanical gardens.

150 years ago, on 9th June 1870 Charles Dickens died. His books include The Pickwick Papers, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations and David Copperfield.

100 years ago, on 11th June 1920, the Colony of Kenya was established. It was previously known as British East Africa. It gained its independence as Kenya in 1963.

80 years ago, June 1940, was a dramatic month in World War II. The main points include: 3rd The German Luftwaffe bombed Paris. 4th The evacuation of Allied forces from Dunkirk was completed. Winston Churchill gave his ‘We shall fight them on the beaches’ speech. 5th The Battle of France began. 10th Italy declared war on France and Britain. Canada declared war on Italy. The North African Campaign (Desert War) began. 11th The siege of Malta began. 14th German forces entered Paris. 17th French government minister Charles de Gaulle (later President of France) relocated to Britain. 18th Winston Churchill gave his ‘Finest Hour’ speech. 22nd France surrendered to Germany. 30th Germany invaded the Channel Islands.

75 years ago, on 22nd June 1945, the Battle of Okinawa ended after 82 days. This battle saw the highest number of casualties in the Pacific Theatre of the war, with more than 12,000 Allies, 110,000 Japanese forces and 140,000 civilians killed.

70 years ago, on 3rd June 1950, the first successful ascent of Annapurna in the Himalayas, was accomplished by a French expedition led by Maurice Herzog. This was the first successful ascent of a mountain over 8,000 metres. Annapurna is the 10th highest mountain in the world.

65 years ago, on 11th June 1955, the Le Mans disaster took place when a car span off the track during the Le Mans 24 Hour race in France. The driver, Pierre Levegh, and 83 spectators were killed and over 100 injured. It was the greatest loss of life in the history of motorsport. Continued on next page. 9

60 years ago on 16th June 1960, Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense film Psycho was released

Also 60 years ago, on 28th June 1960, the Six Bells Colliery disaster took place in Monmouthshire, when 45 coal miners were killed by a gas explosion.

50 years ago, on 29th June 1970, following the Vietnam War, US troops were withdrawn from Cambodia.

40 years ago, on 12th June 1980, Billy Butlin, British holiday camp entrepreneur, died.

30 years ago, on 1 June 1990, US President George Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed an agreement to end the production of chemical weapons and to destroy existing stocks.

Also 30 years ago, on 22nd June 1990, Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, was dismantled. It remained an official crossing point between East and West Germany until re- unification in October. The guard house is now on display in a museum.

20 years ago, on 10th June 2000, the Millennium Bridge in London opened. It closed again two days later because it swayed uncomfortably when people walked in step. It reopened in Feb 2002 after changes were made.

Also 20 years ago, on 26th June 2000, the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics Corp announced that they had completed the first rough draft of the human genome.

JUNE 1940 – a month to remember

June 1940 – 80 years ago – was a dramatic month in the Second World War, and one which saw two of the most memorable speeches in English.

As the evacuation of Allied Forces from Dunkirk was completed, recently appointed Prime Minister Winston Churchill told the House of Commons on 4th June: “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

Surprisingly he did not broadcast it to the nation: it was not recorded until 1949, “for posterity.” When he spoke, the French had not surrendered, and the idea that “in God’s good time” the USA might conceivably have to ride to the aid of a ‘subjugated’ England actually depressed as many people as it invigorated.

Two weeks later, on the 18th June, with the battle in France lost, Churchill did address the country directly with a rallying call in what must indeed have seemed a very dark hour. “The Battle of Britain,” he said, “is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation.” He concluded by saying that if Britain were to last a thousand years, people would still say, “This was their finest hour.”

“KNIT-FOR-NOWT” AND THE WOMEN’S INSTITUTE

Knit-for-Nowt is a Yorkshire based charity which donates hand knitted, crocheted or sewn puppets and “Worry Monsters” to social workers and therapists to help children who are traumatised through abuse, cruelty, neglect, bereavement and other emotional and physical problems.

These children find it hard to communicate their feelings to adult therapists, but writing their problems and worries down and “posting” them into a Worry Monster’s mouth or pocket helps both them and their carers to define what help they need. Hand puppets and interactive play also help these vulnerable children to express their feelings and heal from physical and physiological traumas.

A craft workshop was recently organised by the East Yorkshire Federation of Women’s Institutes and a representative of the Knit-for-Nowt Charity explained how these puppets and Worry Monsters helped children’s therapists to talk to ill- treated children. Members from South Cave WI attended this workshop and the information was given out at the “Crafty Ladies” and monthly meetings.

Crafty Ladies Group is open to all ladies who wish to meet other like minded women who wish to learn about crafts or just enjoy a chat whilst working on their own piece of craft. It is held in the WI Hall, Church Street, between 2pm and 4pm on the second Thursday each month and you will be made most welcome!

At the Federation workshop the Knit-for-Nowt Representative gave out patterns to those attending the workshop and some knitting started straight away. Copies of these patterns have since been issued to many more WI’s and it is expected that these will be used in their craft groups, using left over materials etc.

More requests come into the Charity than can be knitted or sewn, so if you feel you can help, please look at their website today www.knitfornowt.org where more Information and copies of the patterns can be found.

CORONAVIRUS LETTER TO HUMANITY

The earth whispered but you did not hear The earth spoke but you did not listen The earth screamed but you turned her off.

And so I was born...

I was not born to punish you.. I was born to awaken you..

The earth cried out for help...

Massive flooding. But you didn't listen. Burning fires. But you didn't listen. Strong hurricanes. But you didn't listen. Terrifying Tornadoes. But you didn't listen.

You still don't listen to the earth when. Ocean animals are dying due to pollutants in the waters. Glaciers melting at an alarming rate. Severe drought.

You didn't listen to how much negativity the earth is receiving.

Non-stop wars. Non-stop greed.

You just kept going on with your life.. No matter how much hate there was.. No matter how many killings daily.. It was more important to get that latest iPhone than worry about what the earth was trying to tell you..

But now I am here.

And I've made the world stop on its tracks. I've made you finally listen. I've made you take refuge. I've made you stop thinking about materialistic things..

Now you are like the earth... You are only worried about your survival.

How does that feel?

I give you fever - as the fires burn on earth. I give you respiratory issues - as pollution fill the earth air. I give you weakness as the earth weakens every day.

Continued on next page. 12

Continued from previous page.

I took away your comforts.. your outings. The things you would use to forget about the planet and its pain. And I made the world stop...

And now... China has better air quality.. Skies are clear blue because factories are not spewing pollution unto the earth's air. The water in Venice is clean and dolphins are being seen - because the gondola boats that pollute the water are not being used.

You are having to take time to reflect on what is important in your life.

Again I am not here to punish you - I am here to awaken you...

When all this is over and I am gone... Please remember these moments..

Listen to the earth. Listen to your soul. Stop Polluting the earth. Stop Fighting among each other. Stop caring about materialistic things. And start loving your neighbours. Start caring about the earth and all its creatures. Start believing in a Creator.

Because next time I may come back even stronger....

Signed, Coronavirus

I WISH I HAD LOOKED AFTER MY BODY

I wish I’d looked after my body and known what was to come. It’s all gone South and landed on my bum. I wish I’d looked after my figure and stayed a size 10, Now I am a bit bigger but do remember “when”. I wish I’d looked after my feet, they really throb each night. But back then stilettos and winkle-pickers were just right. I wish I’d looked after my legs, they’ve carried me many a mile, But now elastic stockings hide varicose veins for a while. I wish I’d looked after my knees, it’s really hard to kneel, But getting up is worse, the agony is real. I wish I’d looked after my back, and not taken so many risks, I might have been pain free and not had metal discs. I wish I’d looked after my face , the wrinkles increase yearly. I tell everyone they are laughter lines, they look and say, “ really?” I wish I’d looked after my teeth and not ridden that bike, But it was a long way to school if I had to hike. I wish I’d looked after my hair and not let it go grey, But grey was a popular colour ….back in the day. I wish I’d looked after all my bits and be glamorous to see. But “NO”. I don’t wish at all because then I wouldn’t be ME!

I WANT TO BE LIKE A SUN FLOWER

I want to be like a sunflower So that even on the darkest days I will stand tall and find the sunlight.

Why not grow a little sunflower seed? Watch it grow and think of those who fought And those who gave their lives So that we might live free.

And in this testing time Let these sunflowers grow And help us to remember That better days are coming once again

Alyssah Watkins

Editor’s note: It does not have to be a sunflower seed that you plant. Any seed will do the trick – vegetable, flower or weed seed (remember dandelion clocks) should still flourish with soil, water and good old fashioned tender loving care.

WORD SEARCH CLUES

Coronavirus has turned our world upside down. But God is still there, and we can call on Him, as Psalm 91 (vs 1-6) reminds us…

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
