at Dalton Piercy, Elwick and Hart Produced for the Villagers by Hart and Elwick Churches Rev. Canon Janet Burbury, The Vicarage , Hart, Hartlepool, TS27 3AP [email protected] Tel 01429 262340 Mob 07958 131271 Dear friends, November is upon us with its distinct quality of sunlight, much of which at this time the year can seem melancholy, as it beckons in a reminder of what is to come with darker nights and cooler days. November also offers us the season to remember Saints and Souls – oh and that chap Guy Fawkes too! The act of Remembrance is one gift that qualifies us as human. It is a transporting act; one that makes past events and people come alive in our minds and hearts to enrich our lives and time here on earth. The act of Re- membrance gives us connective tissue. It is clear that Jesus understood this when he asked us to remember Him when we share bread and wine as ordinary things signifying his extraordi- nary presence in us today. So many communities are busy preparing to remember our service men and women who died in service. Information will be shared about them in new ways with added poignancy because of the centenary of WW1. So, few now have first-hand experience of that dreadful war and yet we all en- joy the legacy of freedom those brave men and women left to us today. In a small by meaningful way as we learn more about those brave servicemen we will I am sure find some connection with them which is the true power of remembrance. If you try too hard to make that connection happen it probably won’t – but to remember without complicating that act of doing so and without making de- mands of a particular outcome from it, then remembering can give us that connective tissue or experience of people and places from the past in the here and now. On November 1st we recall the saints and dear souls that we have loved and see them as great torch bearers, the tip of the wedge, the clearers of darkness. Like the single drops that sparkle in the sun as they are flung far ahead of an advancing wave or waterfall, they show the way for us today. Saints send shafts of knowledge, truth, wisdom, faith and inspiration, inject- ing the world with goodness which would, without them, otherwise lay dull and be a less hopeful place. Those we consider to be saints, are souls with a specialness with an ability to enrich our lives because they received motivation from God and they recognised that our spiritual needs are as vital as our most basic of physi- cal needs. Of course, none of us would consider ourselves to be a saintly but saint- hood begins from the moment we accept the challenge to try and follow in their steps. Everyone has within them ‘a next step’ to take them closer to God. All he asks of us to take that step. May this remembrance tide inspire you to let either those who have gone before us in the Christian faith or Jesus Christ himself, inspire you today for your tomorrows. Every blessing ~ Revd.
