Let’s hope that the vaccination programme is working and the easing of lockdown is on its way. I am of course writing this at the beginning of January. As you all know I suffer from a bone marrow cancer, Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia and diabetes to boot. In our last lockdown I was the first in the Deanery to open all churches, the first to have communion in our churches as well as broadcasting a daily service and because Landkey was the only church to put broadband into the church I live stream a service from there every Sunday as well as now zooming the service to anyone who has an email address and wants to join. When I attended my last consultation with the consultant at the hospital to discuss my upcoming treatment which removes my immune system completely, he checked to see if I had received my letter from the government instructing me to shield again and only leave the house for hospital appointments. I told him I was still working and that all my churches were open and that I felt an obligation to keep the spiritual side of our communities alive and well. He turned to me and said, “If you catch this virus you will end up in hospital, you will end up on a ventilator and you may not be leaving through the front door. He reminded me that my condition means I have next to no defence naturally and that the four-hour infusion that I was having the next day would mean I would have no defence at all. He remarked, “If you die, will your parishioners pay the mortgage or buy your children food or send your children to university? Who will look after them?” I fell silent. The first rule of a good Christian is to care for your family. It is instilled in us as priests that we must not lose sight of what it means to be a husband or a father and so I came home and thought about what he had said and came to the conclusion that I was putting my wife and children at risk; at risk of losing their father, my wife of losing her husband. 4 I contacted all my worship team and I consulted with my wardens and explained to them what had been said to me. They agreed and gave me their blessing, and so we went back to broadcasting our service on a Sunday. Swimbridge asked if they could open-up and just play some hymns and say some prayers with Janet doing her best for the few that were still coming. David our new priest also said that we would come and do the occasional communion with them and did so with my blessing. Unfortunately I have been told that some of our congregation are upset thinking that I am just abandoning the churches. This is not true. I am following medical advice, still doing services every day and every Sunday and working from home. I was asked to explain to you all why I am not at open church services although nearly all of you know about my illnesses and the treatments that I have and that I have no immune system. Again I find that I have to explain my personal medical conditions to the general public something most people would find unacceptable. I would ask if you or anyone you know has any questions about my health or the reasoning behind my decision to continue to work in the way I do, to please speak to me, otherwise rumour and untruths start to wind their way into our communities and that is not good for our churches. So now you know let us put a line under this and move forward. Let us hope that by the time you have read this our vaccination programme is up and running and we are all back in our churches. Keeping you all in my prayers and thoughts Father Shaun 5 News from St Paul’s Landkey A virtual welcome to all! Services at St Paul’s are now suspended, unfortunately, until such time as the pandemic is more under control. We took this decision because we felt that we should not risk bringing people together when the virus poses as great a danger as it has since the outbreak of Covid-19 began almost a year ago. Current Government and Church of England rules allow public worship to continue but it has also been made clear that churches do not have to open if they would prefer not to. We will aim to restart services as soon as we feel that the risk of virus transmission has been sufficiently reduced. In the meantime, Revd Shaun will livestream services from St Paul’s each Sunday. They will be accessible on his Facebook ‘Mission Prayer Programme’ page and also on Zoom. If anyone would like to view them on Zoom, please send Shaun an email ([email protected]) to request the link. For this month’s article, I will look back at the two Christmas-themed services which we held in December and round up other news before continuing with my Making Sense of the Bible series in which I examine the background to another translation of the Bible. Before proceeding, though, I would like to extend a welcome to all to join in with St Paul’s services, despite the fact that they are being held virtually! As Revd Shaun says, the church is the people, and we are not closed! 6 Christmas services in review With some trepidation as to the wisdom of holding events during the pandemic, we decided that we would hold two Christmas-themed services. The first, held on Sunday 20th December at 4pm, was an outdoor carol service. We felt that an outdoor setting would offer a reduced risk of passing on infection by comparison with an attempt to gather people inside the church with the accompanying need to restrict numbers attending. Mike and Josie Foster worked hard to set up a wooden crib in the garden below the church complete with lights and a power supply. Revd Shaun would bring his sound system to set up outside the church on which carols would be played. An Order of Service was created and adapted for mobile phones and a thorough Risk Assessment carried out. It was hoped that the forecast showery weather would not spoil the plans. Anxiety levels were raised a few days beforehand when outrage was expressed on social media (where else?!) at the apparent lack of social distancing at an outdoor carol service held at Darts Farm, near Topsham. An examination of the arrangements which Woodbury Churches had made for this event revealed that theirs were very similar to the ones that we were planning for our service. 7 As 4pm arrived on the day, the showers became less frequent and Shaun took to the microphone to welcome an encouragingly large number of people arranged at various locations in front of the church.

  • Riverside Park & Country Club
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 40 years of Community Information in South Molton It was back in February 1979 that local people agreed that South Molton should be the focus for a national project researching the information needs of rural areas and how to meet them. The “Community Information Project” was run by the British Library, Devon County Council, the Citizens’ Advice Bureau and the Community Council of Devon with David Venner as Project Officer. The Community Information Centre opened at 1, East Street in 1980 providing local access to advice and information services previously only available at a distance, as well as bringing existing local services together into a one stop shop. The network of Village Representatives was set up, nominated by Parish Councils, Women's Institutes and Churches, and this Newsletter was start- ed with their help to provide an exchange of information in the 24 parishes in and around South Molton. Several of the initial organisations and this Newsletter moved over to 125, East Street at the Amory Centre in 2008 under the aegis of South Molton Town Council and North Devon District Council - and community infor- mation is still going strong! A wide variety of organisations have come and gone over the years and “Pirate Project”, again based in South Molton, introduced information technology, extending and improving access to advice and infor- mation enormously. Local information became available both on line and in hard copy as a series of Who’s Whos for every Parish and for interest groups such as the elderly, young people and disabled. Local Information is now available to all on the internet - and so is the Community News - with hard copy still circulated throughout the area by the volunteer Village Representatives network.

  • DC14-‐075 February 25, 2014 for Immediate Release
    Connecting Devon and Somerset DC14-075 February 25, 2014 For immediate release CONNECTING DEVON AND SOMERSET ANNOUNCES SUPERFAST BROADBAND FOR 25 COMMUNITIES Following last month’s announcement on exchange areas, CDS confirms the communities to benefit from high-speed fibre broadband Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) today confirmed the next 25 communities to benefit from the £94 million programme to bring superfast broadband to rural areas. Last month, the programme announced that it would make high-speed fibre broadband available to 70,000 homes and businesses by the end of July and revealed the names of the latest exchange areas to be included in the CDS roll-out plans. Now it has been able to go one step further and pinpoint the actual communities within those exchange areas, which will benefit. In Devon, they include Ashford, Landkey, Heanton Punchardon, Braunton, Morthoe, Swimbridge, Burlescombe, Feniton, Ottery St Mary, Dunkeswell, Membury, Honiton, Newton Abbot, Ashburton, Ilsington, Kingskerswell, Bovey Tracey and Belstone. In Somerset, the programme will roll-out to Horton, Barrington, Ilminster, Broadway, Dowlish Wake , Kingstone, and Wellington*. Today’s announcement comes as a result of the detailed survey work that is critical in determining how the roll-out plan takes shape through the life of the programme. The new locations follow 19 exchange areas** where the partnership has already made fibre available and a further seven areas*** which are due to ‘go live’ by the end of March – see Notes to EDitors For Further Details oF these locations. The programme has updated the interactive map on the CDS website, www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk, to reflect this latest announcement.
