From our Churchwardens

It's been a busy few months here at St Peter's since our last report from the Christmas Tree Festival, Christmas Fair, Carol Service to our very first Crib service. We would like to thank everyone who helped to make these events and services a great success.

Healthy Church Survey

Many thanks to everyone who completed the survey back in November. It was not the easiest of documents to get to grips with! In December, Tim Mitchell came to share the results with the PCC. The results were interesting, and in places, very encouraging. Our maximum factor was ‘meaningful worship’ whilst ‘small groups’ proved to be the minimum. Tim will be visiting again, and will remain in touch with the PCC to advise and guide in any way he can. One of the ideas we discussed in our PCC meeting was to put more focus on prayer in 2018, we are now printing copies of the Prayer Diary from the Coventry Diocese and during Lent we are starting a midweek prayer service, on a Wednesday morning please see below for more details. We hope you can join us for a time of prayer and fellowship.

God Bless

Trees With A Difference – 2nd December 2017

I would like to thank everyone from church groups and local community organisations for taking part in our successful “Trees With A Difference” display. We had a wonderful selection of different trees and your support is very much appreciated. Thank you also to all who gave their help at the Christmas Fair – we can’t run these events without all your hard work and contributions. We also held two well attended Wreath Workshops with a delicious supper. All the participants take away beautiful wreaths to adorn their doors – they are all so different and after our fourth year some of the ladies are now professionals! Thank you to Jenny for her donation of delicious homemade soup and organising the catering that makes this event such a success. Mandy

Mary Jess Concert – 3rd December 2017

Following the success of the Christmas Tree Festival, the weekend concluded with St. Peter’s hosting a concert featuring Mary Jess Leverland.

The audience were treated to a

wonderful evening’s entertainment, as our church was filled with her beautiful voice. Supported by guests, Trinity Trappit and the Straw House Singers, a wide range of seasonal music was performed.

During the interval, refreshments were enjoyed by all and then Mary Jess drew the winning tickets for the Christmas Raffle.

The second half of the concert followed, filled with the same amazing quality of sound.

As the final notes of ‘Nessun Dorma’ filled the church, everyone was moved by the beauty and purity of her voice.

Mary Jess said she was overcome by the welcome she received and praised the acoustics of St. Peter’s and the warmth of our welcome; both physical and spiritual.

Fourteen things you might consider giving up this

Lent and beyond: 1. Fear: God is on my side. In Him I am more than a conqueror. (See Romans 8: 337) 2. The need to please everyone: I can’t please everyone anyway. There is only one I need to please. 3. Envy: I am blessed. My value is not found in my possessions, but in my relationship with my Heavenly Father. 4. Impatience: God’s timing is the perfect timing. 5. Sense of entitlement: The world does not owe me anything. God does not owe me anything. I live in humility and grace. 6. Bitterness and Resentment: The only person I am hurting by holding onto these is myself. 7. Blame: I am not going to pass the buck. I will take responsibility for my actions. 8. Comparison: I have my own unique contribution to make and there is no one else like me. 9. Fear of failure: You don’t succeed without experiencing failure. Just make sure you fall forward. 10. A Spirit of poverty: Believe with God that there is always more than enough and never a lack. 11. Feelings of unworthiness: You are fearfully and wonderfully made by your creator. (See Psalm 139) 12. Doubt: Believe God has plan for you that is beyond anything you could imagine. The future is brighter than you could ever realise. 13. Worry: God is in control and worrying will not help. 14. Pride: Blessed are the humble. Source: Mickleover Methodist

What are you thankful for today?

1. WAKE UP! - d ecide to have a good day. ‘This is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it’ (Psalm 118:24). 2. DRESS UP! – the best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. ‘The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the

outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’ (1 Samuel 16:7).

3. SHUT UP! – say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so he must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. ‘He who guards his lips guards his soul.’ (Proverbs 13:3) 4. STAND UP! – for what you believe in. Stand for something or you will for anything. ‘Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give

up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good’. (Galatians 6:9-10) 5. LOOK UP! – to the Lord. ‘I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me’. (Philippians 4:13). 6. REACH UP! – for something higher. ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all of your ways, acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.’ (Proverbs 3:5-6).

7. LIFT UP! – your prayers. ‘Do not worry about anything; instead pray about everything’. (Philippians 4:6) Source: A Basket of Gems by Mark J. Stibbe 8.

How do you prepare for Sunday worship?

How do you spend those few minutes before

the service when we are invited to pray?

Here are some ideas for using our church surroundings as a focus for silent prayer, for meditation and as an opportunity of offering up the life of the church to God.

Let your eyes rest on the font and remember the children and young people of the church and those who have recently come to faith.

Let your focus move to the pulpit and pray for honesty and fervency of preaching – pray for our clergy and preachers – and a blessing on the preacher of the day.

Move on to the lectern and pray that our hearts and minds may be receptive to the word of God.

Lift your eyes to the cross, the centre of our church, the centre of our faith – the cross which Jesus carried – the cross of crucifixion – the empty cross of resurrection.

And let your eyes rest on the communion table where we meet with Christ in bread and wine – one family united with each other and with God.

Turn to the windows and think about how we reflect God’s love to the world.

Turn to the door and offer to God the outreach and mission of our church…

These are just ideas which might help to guide our thinking and preparation, but you might find that you just want to focus on one element or that something sparks your thoughts in a different direction. Try it and see!!

No one else can save you

No one else can save you. Only you; and it takes more than your silence, your inaction, your wrong choices, your wilful self-destruction. No one else can tell you that you are worth more than the sum of your struggles and fall from grace. No one else can tell you that it is going to take all your determination to learn to live a meaningful life again – that you can build, block by block, this complex pyramid that together makes up a happy life, not without its struggles, but a place of peace nonetheless. That you can sustain it in place, one day at a time, for the rest of your time in this earth. Millions of people do it. They live a life free from pain or shame. They have unlearnt the hard way their twisted contradictions and their drive to self-destruct. They came out of that dense, dark forest, where toxic air slowly clogs your lungs. They are free. No one else – only you – can convince you that your best years lie, perhaps, ahead. They are a treasure waiting under the surface, to be excavated with your bare hands. It will be with pain and some tears – but worth working for, nonetheless. You can rethink every step that lead you here, but those steps have already been taken. It is only the millions of steps ahead of you that matter now. That, and your desire to live and embrace life. Stifle the voice within you that says: “You will fall.” Don’t turn back on to the landscape of destruction that you are leaving behind you. Open the window and notice all the things that I keep telling you about.

o The warm sunshine breaking through the clouds. o Birds tweeting. o A cat wandering around the bins looking for some food. o A group of children coming out of school, one sustaining a knee injury, the singalong of many voices telling their parents about the day. o The promise of a hot meal slowly bubbling on the stove. o A book waiting to be read tonight. o A memory of complicity and laughter with a friend. o The view from a hill, leaving the city behind.

You have so much in wealth that cannot be counted, more than you will ever be able to comprehend – too much to throw it all away. No one else can save you, only your soul and God’s warm hand on your shoulder because He is behind you. And so, open the window, leave the past behind and turn today into the first day of the rest of your life.

The Knot Prayer Dear God, Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart, and my life. Remove the have nots, the can nots, and the do nots that I have in my mind. Erase the will nots, may nots, and might nots that find a home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots, would nots, and should nots that obstruct

my life. Most of all dear God, I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart, and my life all the ‘am nots’ that I have allowed to hold me back, especially the thought that I am not good enough.

Amen

Parable of the Buckets

There was once a farmer who had two water buckets. Every morning he would walk from his house, down the hill, to fill his buckets at the well. One bucket was shiny and new. The other was worn, dented, and even had a large crack on the side. After filling both buckets, the farmer would carry them back up the path to his house. Because of the crack, the old bucket would lose almost half its water on the way up. The shiny new bucket was proud of being able to hold all his water and never spill a drop. But the poor old bucket was very sad as he thought about all the water he spilled every day. One morning, after the usual trip up to the house, the old cracked bucket became terribly depressed and said, “Farmer, it makes me so sad to spill so much of your precious water every day. I try so hard not to, but it keeps leaking out through that crack in my side. Don’t you think it’s time to get rid of me and buy yourself another nice new bucket? I’m really not good for much anymore.” And the poor old bucket shed a tear through the crack on his side. “You are worth more than you realise”, said the farmer. “I want to show you something.” The farmer picked up the old bucket gently and carried it around to the front of the house. He pointed to the path leading down to the well. “Look at all those beautiful flowers! Notice that they’re growing only on one side of the path. That’s the side I carried you on every day. The water you thought you were wasting, God used to make beautiful flowers.” “You see”, the farmer went on, “God loves each one of us and can do wonderful things with us despite our imperfections. Jesus came into the world to show us what God’s love is like. You can trust Jesus! So, you see, my friend, you’re worth much more than you thought you were!” The old cracked bucket shed another tear. But this time he was very happy….

We still have so much to offer

I may be getting on, but there’s so much that I can do, To share the love of Jesus, with those who haven’t got a clue, To offer a helping hand, and to show someone you care, To make a call that tells the other, that you are always there.

A welcoming smile can lift the spirits of the lost, A hug or kiss can melt even the hardness of the frost, Making others feel welcome, can bring the greatest joy, To a lonely broken heart, that events have tried to destroy.

Above all, we have access to the world’s most gracious power, That brings us peace and comfort, each and every hour, We have that special privilege, every single day, To spend time with God, every time we pray.

Our prayers can help a troubled situation, bring comfort to the sad, Bring healing to the sick, and encouragement that life is not so bad, Bring hope when life’s uncertain, bring peace when life’s a blur, Bring encouragement when we need it, and be our constant spur.

It doesn’t matter if we are aging, and not as fast as we used to be, We still have so much to offer, I am sure you will agree, Our prayers are so important, important beyond compare, For in those conversation, God is always there.

A man living in Birmingham needed a taxi, so he

dialled his local office. It was ringing for some

time and he was about to give up when a voice at the other end asked for his name and destination. He did this and said ‘I need to be at New Street Station in time to catch the 9.30am to Bristol.’ The reply was, ‘I am sorry but we are very busy at

the moment and cannot give you a taxi straight

away, but do not worry the 9.30am never leaves on time.’ The man replied, ‘It won’t this morning I am the driver.’ Kindly contributed by Roy Atkins

The church youth group were holding a music session in the church, adjacent to the church hall where a leadership meeting was taking place. The music was so loud that one of the leaders said, “I reckon all those young folks will be deaf by the time they are twenty-five.” The minister responded, “That won’t help us – they’ll then just play it louder still.” Source: Association of Church Editors

A Sunday School teacher had a group of boys and he was talking to them on one occasion about being strong and tough when sad things happened to them. Three little boys started bragging about how tough they were and the teacher wasn’t sure that he had got through to

them. One boy said, “I’m so tough that I can wear out a pair of shoes in a week.” A second boy said, “I’m so tough, I can wear out a pair of jeans in a day.” Whereupon a third boy said, “When my parents take me to see Grandma and Grandpa, I can wear them out in just one hour.”

A Monk’s Tale

A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, “My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?” The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fixed his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery. The monks accept him, feed him, and fixed his car. That night he hears the same strange noise that he had heard years earlier. The next morning, he asks what it is, but the monks reply, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man says, “All right, all right. I’m dying to know. If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?”

The monks reply, “You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk.” The man sets about his task. Forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, “I have travelled the earth and have found what you asked for. There are 145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth.” The monks reply, “Congratulations. You are now a monk. We shall now show you the way to the sound.” Then they led him to a wooden door, where the head monk says, “The sound is right behind the door.” The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He says, “Real funny, may I have the key?” The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man demands the key to the stone door. The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire. So, it went until the man had gone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz, amethyst.

Finally, the monks say, “This is the last key to the last door.” The man is relieved to end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find the source of that strange sound. But I can’t tell you what it is because you’re not a monk!

Remembering Mancetter By Maureen Simmons

My father, Mr Albert (Bert) Allsopp, was secretary of the Mancetter Scouts. He raised the money to have the first Scout Headquarters in Mancetter. It was a Scout Headquarters erected like a large wooden shed. This building lasted for many years, accommodating the Scouts, Cubs, Brownies and Guides. It was also used for functions. The building was used until the present one was built. I am a past Assistant Cub leader, Beryl Douglas being the Leader. My son’s Christening party was held at the Scout Premises. The vicar at the time being the Rev. Resiegh. I believe Wedding receptions and many other celebratory occasions were also held there. My father died in 1975, he worked tirelessly for St. Peter’s Church he was Church Warden with Mr Tom Hollyoake, another hard-working church member. My father was also church secretary, and used to work organising local clergy to take services at St. Peter’s during an interregnum. A custom connected to St. Peter’s that used to take place during the summer period was called ‘Flower Sunday’. Yong girls from St. Peter’s Church of School and the Parish used to meet by St. Peter’s Church for the 3.00pm service. I remember we all had new dresses, and carried flowers in a procession into the church, where a service was held. I believe the flowers were then distributed to the people of the parish who were elderly or ill. I remember that Sunday well, with all my friends from school. The vicar at this time was the Rev. G.G. Hall. This is a tradition that has been lost. In those days the church was the centre of the community I hope these past memories, bring back some fond thoughts to the people who still live in Mancetter.

Could all holders of Children’s Society boxes please let me have them for counting? Please leave them for me at Church, or if you would like me to collect, contact me on 02476 394929 to arrange this. Thank you for supporting the Children’s Society. It makes a massive difference to children’s lives where once there was no hope, but with help they can look forward to a better future, full of promise. Your generosity means that more children who don’t feel safe, loved or able to cope, will receive the support they desperately need, with the help they receive from the society’s care workers. If anyone would like to have a collecting box, please let me know. They are only opened yearly, so any loose change mounts up over a year and you put in what you can afford. Every little helps.

For our last meeting of 2017 we had a change of venue for our Christmas lunch and despite the snowy and icy weather we made our way to Dobbies for our annual festivities. Despite the winter weather outside we enjoyed the warmth of fellowship together as we tucked into the delicious food and popped our crackers.

Tuesday Break

Whilst we could not have our usual Agape Communion as part of our December meeting, we decided to bring our own readings that represented the spirit of Christmas. To begin Doris had penned a poem immediately following the Carol Service as she felt such warmth and love during this service and this was shared with us. Marilyn, too, had taken to verse to sum up her thoughts – both pieces revealing a deep and spiritual reflection of the wonderful message of Christmas. There were many and varied responses, including a humorous poem brought by Jenny and, as is our custom for December, we shared in quiet moments – letting go of the busyness that takes over during these past weeks. There was another important custom we partake of for this festive meeting – our Bring and Share supper - delightful, delicious delicacies to share and enjoy. A happy ending to our time of friendship and fellowship together taking home with us the joyous message of Christmas – Jesus come among us bringing love and hope to all. Our January meeting focused on planning ahead for the rest of the year. Russet opened in prayers giving thanks for this time of fellowship and remembering all those in need wherever they may be. There was much discussion with a wide variety of ideas we could look at both spiritually and socially. We like to call upon the talents of our church family and friends and our programme will include: - Jane- Canine Partners; Gillian-Air Ambulance; Elaine-Hessian Roses; along with Mandy-Firework Flowers; trip to Church where Ruth Taylor will give us a snapshot of its heritage; trip to the theatre and dinner at Technical College to name a few. Mandy brought along a book compiled by Jean Allen – a member of Mancetter WI – highlighting many historical facts and local people. One particular entry that held our attention was the history of the first of the Alms-houses situated alongside the church. They were built in 1726 from an endowment of £2,000 by a local man to house six poor men of the village. One of the rules of the tenancy was they had to attend a church service every Sunday. We thought many of the articles would appeal to a wide audience and we are going to discuss with the magazine team to include excepts in future editions – you will find them extremely fascinating. During coffee and cakes, we took on a cryptic quiz on sweets and chocolates – our knowledge of these subjects made short work of this! You will see, a good mix of activities and events – so why not come and join us on the third Tuesday of each month at 7.30pm – a warm welcome and delicious cakes await!
