The Vicar’s Letter The Vicarage, Waltham Road, (corner of Foliejohn Way) Woodlands Park Telephone 01628 822000 Dear Friends, When I was little, I could never understand the attitude of grown-ups to snow. Snow was fun. Snow was enjoyable. Snow gave you the opportunity to make snowmen, have snowball fights, or go tobogganing. And we didn’t get nearly enough of it. So when it snowed it was exciting. It was something to be welcomed with joy. But grown-ups didn’t seem to think so. They complained about it. They hoped it wouldn’t snow, and grumbled when it did. They thought it was a nuisance. Now I’ve grown up myself I can see both sides. I understand why many of us really don’t like the snow (however much we may say we want a ‘white Christmas’). I know the frustrations when bad weather means that we can’t do what we had planned to do, or when others can’t do what we were relying on them to do. And there are obvious problems for those whose jobs involve trying to get about or working outside, or who have a long commute. But if I’m honest, then I still side with the children. These last few weeks we have seen more snow than I think I have ever experienced before — certainly in my adult life. By the time you read this that may be just a memory, or we may have had yet more. But every time it’s happened, or been promised, then (whatever difficulties it has caused to my own plans) deep down I have had that frisson of excitement that I used to get as a child.

Shottesbrooke and White Waltham Parish Magazine Page 1 And I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that Jesus would too. He often commended children, and said that adults needed to be more like them, and I think this is the sort of thing that he meant. It is still fun to be the first to walk and leave footprints across a piece of virgin snow. It’s still fun to make snowmen and have (good-natured) snowball fights. There is a strange beauty to snow. And when I need to venture further afield then there is that added sense of adventure. To be sure, there are some (especially the elderly) for whom snow causes particular difficulties. Slippery pavements can be very dangerous, and ‘fuel poverty’ can make it hard for some to keep properly warm in the cold weather. We need to keep a special eye out for any neighbours who may be hit hard in these ways, and be ready to offer a helping hand. But if our boring adult lives have grown so full that we can’t cope with a little disruption from time to time, and enjoy the real but simple pleasures that snow can bring, then surely they’ve grown too full. Perhaps we need to clear some of the clutter out of our lives in order to free up time to stop, to be able to take the unexpected in our stride, and to be able just to be, and to enjoy the present moment. I think that’s at least part of what Jesus meant by ‘enjoying life to the full’. And I think that’s what Lent is meant to be about as well. So how about using this Lent to clear some of the clutter out of your life? You might be surprised at how much you find to enjoy as a result. David Andrew

Project Rainbow Update – January 2010

As you may know, there was an open hearing of the Consistory Court in October that was held in the Church. The purpose of that hearing was to enable the Chancellor to hear evidence and arguments for and against the Sunday School building that is planned for our Churchyard. He would then be able to decide whether or not to grant the church a Faculty (ecclesiastical permission) to build this building.

Following that hearing the Barristers made their final submissions in writing (these are still available to view on the church website or you can speak to Tony Hill or Jenny Murphy to arrange to read a paper copy). Having read the Barristers’ final submissions, the Chancellor requested a further hearing that was held in London on Wednesday 16 th December.

We have now received the Chancellor’s judgement and we are delighted to be able to report that the Chancellor has granted a Faculty to build this building, subject to the condition that the necessary funds have been raised before any further work is undertaken.

For those who are interested, the full judgement is now available on the church website ( www.stmaryswhitewaltham.co.uk - follow the Consistory Court link on the Project Rainbow page), or, once again, you can contact Tony Hill or Jenny Murphy to read a paper copy if you don’t have access to the internet. (The judgement is quite long, but they key paragraphs come at the end – paragraphs 107-111.)

The whole Project Rainbow team would like to offer their thanks to everyone who has given their support on this project; you have been a tremendous encouragement to us.

But we are only half way there – we now need to raise the bulk of the funds required to build our Sunday School building. So please continue to pray for Project Rainbow and for all the hard work to come in organising and launching the main appeal.

There will be a Project Rainbow Quiz Night on Saturday 13 March from 7.00p.m. The Quiz Night is open to teams of 4 - 6 people aged 10 years or over. The cost is £6 per person. For more details see the advert on page 4. We hope you can come along and join us!

How busy are you?

I was a bit upset not to have been able to send a New Zealand newsletter for the Christmas/New Year edition. But thinking about it, I realised that although there was less time than usual to write it, I ought to have been able to make the time - my apologies. So, why was I not able to make the time? I have to admit that it was because I was too busy with other quite legitimate tasks. Christmas is always a very busy time of the year. In New Zealand of course, the seasons are reversed and we have extra tasks that need to be done in the summer time. For example, I have lots of soft fruit to pick, prepare and either freeze for use throughout the year or give to Liz for one of her special creations. I have had lovely crops of gooseberries and redcurrants and others which will need harvesting soon are tayberries, blackberries, boysenberries and blackcurrants. I am trying to get fruit from lemons, blueberries, apples and feijoas. But these will take a year or so because the trees/shrubs are very young and need to mature. In addition, there are the usual Christmas tasks much as you have in UK. It’s odd really, our friends and relatives in UK can send parcels and cards by surface mail which extends the time available but we only have economy airmail and normal airmail which simply means more things to do close to Christmas. But there’s something worse, for so many folk today, all the busy-ness of life crowds out the most important things of life. Many are simply too busy to relax, too involved in things to have a real holiday, and their lives build up tensions and stresses which can cause big problems. But even more common is the situation of being too involved in the normal everyday things of life that there is no time to give thought to the truly important things. You will each be aware that although the church exists very much in the present its vision and message are largely concerned with what is to happen when time is no more. I wonder how often I have heard people say things like: “I don’t need to worry about eternal things now; there will be plenty of time when I am older”. Have you ever thought or said something like that?

Shottesbrooke and White Waltham Parish Magazine Page 8 I believe that Christians have settled matters of eternity by putting their trust in God but that does not mean that they detach themselves from the ordinary things of life. As I wrote above, I am involved in gardening for a harvest and Christians in general perform the usual tasks that non-Christians do. The difference is that they have a life focus which extends beyond this life, which changes their priorities from this life to the life to come. It means that they are much more likely to spend their time and money less on “things” and more on helping others. It has been said that some people (Christians!) are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly use. I believe that it is possible to be so earthbound in one’s thinking as to have no concept of heavenly things. Let me be very direct. Do you give any thought at all to what happens when this life is over? We have a houseguest who has no time for Christian things at all. The other day I asked him “Why do you celebrate Christmas?” After all, Christmas means nothing if we forget that it is the celebration of the birth of the Christ child who was born to die. To die for us. His cold answer was quite frightening to me - he said “It just comes round on the calendar”. Did all the busy-ness of your life crowd out thoughts about the real message of Christmas? Jesus is a real historical person who was born after His mother undertook an unplanned journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem (so that scriptural prophecies about the place of His birth could be fulfilled), born amongst the household animals, goats, sheep and cattle. He grew up, wept, laughed, was educated, lived among the people of Palestine under the cruel yoke of Rome and eventually was put to death by the Roman authorities at the request of the Jews to whom He had been sent and to whom He had shown Himself as God made man. He birth, His death should change the life of everyone who hears about it. He did not remain in the grave, His resurrection is also a proved historical fact and because of it, I know that I too shall live again after this life. Does Christmas have this life changing meaning for you? It is my prayer that it would. Eric Green

Tales from the Bells

During Christmas two of our younger ringers managed to ring their first quarter peal from the treble (the lightest in weight and highest in musical note). One of them rang their first Quarter Peal on Christmas Eve at White Waltham for the Candle Light Service and the other rang their first Quarter Peal on Christmas morning at Shottesbrooke. Well done both of you! A Quarter Peal is a real test of stamina and concentration. It can last between 45 – 50 minutes and is made up of 1260 changes, putting this in simple terms it means that your arms go up and down 1260 times (plus a bit before and after the Quarter Peal starts). Phew! I hear you say. But it is not that difficult. Quarter Peals are rung to celebrate or commemorate certain events such as Christmas, Easter, Harvest and Remembrance Sunday. We also managed to have all the bells ringing at White Waltham and Shottesbrooke to ring out the old year of 2009 and ring in the New Year of 2010. At White Waltham I am currently teaching three new ringers. Two are now learning to ring with the rest of the band and the other still needs a bit more tutoring. If you are interested in taking up bell ringing please phone me or see me after church on Sundays and I can give you more information. My number and email address is at the back of the parish magazine. The ringers of White Waltham and Shottesbrooke hope that you had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year. We wish you well for this year. Lesley Graves Tower Captain, White Waltham

White Waltham C E Primary School

What an exciting start to the Spring Term, with all the beautiful snow, turning White Waltham into a postcard picture.

The children are very busy at school with a Monet project, where they are studying Monet’s painting ‘Bathers at La Grenouillère’ and recreating it in a variety of different mediums, enabling them to learn new techniques. This work has been enriched with visits from two local artists: Cynthia Barlow-Marrs who spent two days with the children creating ‘collage works’ and Richard Gibson creating a clay panel of ‘The water lilies’ ( our version) which will be displayed at the entrance to the office block.

The children continue to benefit from the numerous activities taking place inside school, such as sewing, Gym club, library club and ICT club to name but a few. The Year 5 children had a most enjoyable 3 day residential to Hooke Court at the end of January. They learnt about Victorian times, digging for artefacts and solved a ‘mystery murder’. Year 4 visited the Verulamium Museum in St. Albans where the children had the exciting opportunity to dress as Romans and experience a Roman market. Year 2 enriched their learning about Judaism through a visit to the local Synagogue where they learnt about Hanukah and ‘The Torah’.

Shottesbrooke and White Waltham Parish Magazine Page 14 We are looking forward to our work during term 5 & 6 which will focus closely on the local community and we would love to hear from any residents who would be able to share any local history, accounts of living/working in the local area. Any ideas for visits that would promote learning would be greatly appreciated. Any information about talented locals, present and past, that could come into the school and share their life experiences or work with the children would be greatly appreciated. If you could help in any way please contact the school office on 01628 822533.

The PTA continue to raise very valuable funds for the school, their excellent Christmas fayre raised approximately £2000. A big thank you to the local community for their support, and we still have many more projects on the calendar and look forward to your continued support.

May I take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to any visitors to school. If you would like any further information on our events in school, please telephone the school office on 01628 822533, or have a look on our website at: www.whitewalthamprimary.co.uk

We also now have our wonderful new Community notice board just inside the school grounds on the right hand fence. Please feel free to look at it any time within the school day, or indeed if you would like to place an item inside it visit the school office and they will organise it for you.

Shottesbrooke and White Waltham Parish Magazine Page 16 CHRISTIAN AID AT CHRISTMAS

I have heard that more than a few people were not very happy with the poster “O Broken Town of Bethlehem” displayed by Christian Aid at Christmas. I learn from visitors to Bethlehem that there is a lot of hope and joyfulness there. Many small businesses in crafts etc. have been started, some with the help of various charitable organisations for example Y.M.C.A. (a partner of Christian Aid) supporting a carving workshop. Visitors to Bethlehem have also mentioned stained glass workshops and other crafts being taught by ‘Diyar’ (meaning hope), a college consortium and ‘Bright Stars’. If you would like to know more about these things visit www.Diyar- consortium.org There is also a booklet by a Palestinian Arab pastor, a Christian, entitled “Bethlehem Besieged” which may be found in Quench, the local Christian bookshop in Queens Street. The pastor’s name is Mitri Rahed. One last appeal by the people of Bethlehem – “If you are out this way please visit us. We need tourists.” And one last appeal from me, Doreen Hill, please can I have a new organiser for this year’s Christian Aid collection which is already beginning to take off. Please ring me on 01628 822338. Thank you.
