FROM THE DIOCESE

Hello! I’m Sarah, Discipleship in the World Officer across the Diocese of Lincoln – from the Humber to The Wash. I came to the role in January after a 23-year career in education and most recently as a school chaplain and family worker in . I’m here to support our outward- facing mission, integrating our faith into our everyday lives through loving service and focusing on areas such as social justice, modern slavery, and our care for creation.

As Christians, we are disciples committed to following and learning from Jesus Christ; we are all called to live as disciples in this world. With the image of a tree firmly etched in my mind, I see a network of branches, rooted in Christ, through which God can bear fruit (John 15.1–8). Our rootedness in Christ is strengthened through our worship, prayer, Bible study and fellowship; we grow when we see God at work in our everyday contexts where he uses us to be his hands and feet. Our daily lives become acts of worship, as our decisions, priorities and actions are all informed by being a follower of Jesus.

Already there are many fantastic examples of discipleship going on around the diocese: from Dementia Cafes, to emergency faith responders, befriending the isolated and delivering many food projects, identifying modern slavery, working with vulnerable young people and planting community woodlands. Many have been supported by funding from the Bishop of Lincoln’s Social Justice Fund. As my role is to support and strengthen our creative responses to faith in action, I am keen to hear from people who are considering how to better ‘love their neighbour’, both locally and globally.

Wherever we are, whoever we are, God chooses to use us, as we commit to follow. The radical love of Jesus transforms both individuals and communities as well as the structures that oppress people. This is our calling too. So as you seek to put your faith into action, remember that we are not alone. Please do get in contact; it would be great to hear what you are up to and to be able to support you in your actions!

Bolingbroke Deanery Grape Vine Thank you

We would like to say a big thank you to Angela Brady for her support with the Grape Vine. Angela has bought all the prizes for the Caption Competition since it began. The first winner of the competition was Eric Waltham! I wonder if anyone remembers when it first started? I cheated and looked back at all the old copies and would you believe it was May 2012. So, it really is a big thank you to Angela for coming up with the idea and providing the prizes. I often get people thanking me for the prizes and have to own up to not knowing what they are as Angela has always delivered them neatly wrapped up.

We will try to keep the competition going but it does rely on you sending photos in for me to use. Please get the necessary permissions first. And, of course, we need lots of captions sending in! The competition is judged by whoever I can grab hold of but they never know who has sent the entry until they have picked a winner…so no cheating there!!

6

I will do my best to keep up the good work but it is a hard act to follow.

Thank you so much Angela and we wish you all the best in your new venture!

Follow the Star 2019

The Church of has launched their 'Follow the Star' campaign for 2019 with resources for churches for Advent and Christmas.

The has prepared 'a checklist of five things your church can do to prepare this year', which includes details of the digital and printed resources that are available, and this may be found by going to the Lincoln Diocesan website and search for ‘Follow the Star 2019’

Market Towns’ Learning Communities Just to remind you all that our next meeting will be at Wragby Parish Church on Saturday, 5th October from 9.30 - 12.00noon. At that meeting Rev. Mark Holden will talk about the Pilgrim Walk from Langton-by-Wragby to Lincoln leading into a discussion on pilgrimage; and Linda Patrick will talk about enhancing our 'welcome', with reference to the 'Tool Kit' used by Exeter Diocese. Please feel free to invite other members of your Groups who might be particularly interested in either of these subjects.

A Church for our Planet - Saturday 5th October

A free practical introduction to EcoChurch with workshops will take place on Saturday, 5th October 2019 at St Giles Church, Lamb Gardens, Lincoln LN2 4EH. The day will run from 10am-4pm. Refreshments will be available free of charge during the breaks but please bring your own keep cup and packed lunch. Donations to cover the cost of the hall hire and other expenses are welcome on the day.

The programme for the day includes: • A keynote address from Simon Brown from A Rocha, the Christian conservation organisation.

• Why EcoChurch? - biblical basis, creation and justice

• Links to the Fifth Mark of Mission and an outline of the new Diocesan Environmental Policy and the five 'Ecochurch' categories which cover: worship and teaching, buildings, land, community and global and lifestyle. 7

• Presentation and support from 'Green Journey' There will also be a bookstall and a market place with help available to show practical examples of what you can do. Book your place via Eventbrite.

N.B. These last two events are on the same day but in the near future we plan to hold a Church for our Planet in our area – so please give your propriety to which ever but you can do both!

Service Rota:

After a good deal if discussion and prayer it is felt that at the present the Sunday Service will remain at almost the same times and pattern as the present. There will be small changes as we can but the reality is that the team of people authorised to lead worship is reduced because of illness and retirement.

At the same time it is really encouraging to see that Churches are using the opportunities to meet for social gatherings and prayer. If you think that is the way your Church would like to grow please have a word.

Yours Peter

HARVEST TIME

'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness', these are not my words, I think you may have guessed, but my love of harvest time I'd like now to impart for, as in every farming village, the harvest is our heart. Sunlight warm caresses the land, the harvest is sewn and lovingly planned, raindrops fall and sprinkle clear, cool, fresh water year upon year. Ploughmen plough and sowers sow, working together that crops may grow, feeding the seed to nurture and to nourish, giving their all that crops may flourish. From dawn 'til dusk they toil their best, God's sunshine and rainfall will do the rest. From the seed does come the grain, flour from the wheat and maize, from long hours of labour and oft times pain harvest time is here again. Children on ladders midst the boughs of the trees, tiny windfall gatherers scramble on their knees, mother fetches food and cool lemonade whilst dad thinks it's fun to rest in the shade. Womenfolk a hurrying, children a scurrying, fruit and veg to be stored and preserves to prepare, grandma is a bottling, grandpa is a tottering, last year's hop harvest was certainly rare! The haystacks are raised, 'tis now time for rest, smiles and handshakes and a tankard of best, fruits and berries gathered from bushes and trees and once again we'll enjoy a harvest time feast. Then...at Harvest Supper the villagers meet to give thanks for the harvest now all safely reaped, a time of festivities, a time of great cheer, a time that is worked towards all the long year. A time of fulfilment as we turn towards home giving thanks for the harvest that Our Lord has bestowed.

'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness', 'tis the season of the harvest, our labours have been Blessed.

REV’D FRAN’S BIT

When I was 16, I considered myself to be very focussed – I had a dream to be a lawyer and was working to get the grades I needed. And any relaxation of my efforts saw me developing a love of cricket and the music of Rod Stewart, Queen and Elton John! Well, what other focus does there need to be?

Well this week a sixteen year old girl has challenged our world leaders over climate change. If you saw Greta Thunberg speaking at the UN this week, it was difficult not to be impressed by her passion and conviction with which she spoke. “This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean, yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you?... You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words” She spoke with such passion and anger – and if the leaders of the world were uncomfortable, maybe it was because they knew she was right in what she said. There is a problem with climate change, and we all need to address it.

The Church in Lincolnshire has woken up to the issue and is reacting – we are encouraged to become part of the Eco Church movement, and we have a small group of people who are interested in taking a lead in this important issue. There are several ways to get involved: • Some of us are attending ‘A Church for our Planet’ on Saturday 5 October – A free practical introduction to Eco Church (Spaces available in my car if you are interested) • The Deanery small group Bible Study will have Stewardship of Creation as its theme throughout October & November • The Lent Course 2020 will have an Eco Church theme There is much to be done – but the first step is to make a start.

WOLDS WEEKEND

St James’, Spilsby

“What an interesting Church. Thank you for the warm and friendly welcome. You are so lucky to have a Hill organ”. These were some of the comments made during the Wolds weekend. Approximately 75 adults and 7 children visited the Church and that does not include the 28 people who attended the Family Service on Sunday.

Linda Patrick, organiser of the Wolds Weekend, was delighted to see that the children had drawn pictures in the memory book and appreciated the coffee and cake.

The organists from and enjoyed playing our Hill organ but the organists who was most impressed was Paul Derrett from Hull. He loves the sound of a Hill organ and had no idea Hill had been born in Spilsby and has a window dedicated to him in St James Church. Paul is a past prize winner of the Royal College of Organists but also trained as an organ builder. An entry in the 1975 Guiness Book of Records attests to his (then) world record for the longest organ recital ever given which lasted for 80 hours without repetition. He has recorded more than 30 solo CD's and 14 CD's in the Benchmark series which celebrates our national organ heritage with history, specifications and photographs. People visiting the Church were privileged to hear him play and he was very impressed with the sympathetic renovation done by Chris Hind.

Many photographs were taken by our visitors who had come from various parts of the County and beyond. Many were especially interested in the Franklin memorial and the information boards about his family tree.

Thank you to all those people who baked, acted as welcomers and worked in the kitchen. Your help is much appreciated and made the weekend a successful event.

St Andrew’s, Little Steeping

Our Festival Weekend end was a huge success with around 50 visitors over the 2 days. Thanks go to them for their interest and very generous donations for the churchyard.

Colin and Pat put together a very interesting display of our archive material around the building with many photographs supplied by Trevor Jackson. Aerial images of the church were done by Ben Clark a few days before the event, many thanks to both. Nearer to lunchtime Sheila arranged a wonderful picnic lunch around the pulpit for all to enjoy, and for afters, amongst other goodies Sue Oliver brought Flap Jack for us all to enjoy.

Meanwhile outside Mark Smith, Mel Cowan and myself were busying clearing yet another part of our wonderful forgotten churchyard. Some of which had already been extensively strimmed by Steve Barry. Many thanks to all of you.

Harvest time is here. Our farmers are working extra hard to make sure that the harvest is gathered in. Farmers have been doing this vital work for centuries but Harvest Festivals in church are relatively recent. The first service to give thanks for the crops was held in Cornwall in 1843 by Reverend Robert Hawker.

In our rural communities Harvest Time is so very important. Not only to help provide food for the country but it is a time to give thanks to God for his provision, for the food that we all enjoy but also it is important to give thanks for all that we are given and perhaps think of those who do not have enough food. It is always good to remember those in far off countries who do not have an abundance of food and for us also to remember those much closer to home who have to go to food banks for help. If we feel we have been blessed in some way why not give thanks to God and join in a Harvest Celebration and perhaps give an offering to our local food bank? Blessings Teresa

FAMILY SERVICE

God loves All Sorts was the title of the Family service on Sunday, September 1st led by Reverend Joan Thornett. The children had the task of sorting out Liquorice Allsorts into different shapes and colours and designs and then drawing a picture of a liquorice allsorts person. Martha read a poem about all sorts of people and Jane and Sue read lessons related to the theme.

Reverend Joan talked about the reading from Acts when God told Peter that belief in God was not just meant for the Jews but also the Gentiles. The life of Jesus touched many lives as he was born in a stable, became a refugee and a wandering preacher and was crucified with criminals. The important words in the reading from Luke was “Today you will be with me in Paradise”. God loves all sorts.

Jane and Margaret with the help of the children talked about the variety of sweets in Liquorice Allsorts with the help of Jane Howsam and Reverend Joan who are connoisseurs on the subject. The congregation is made up of all sorts of people but God loves us all. Ethan, with the support of Trevor, was crucifor for the first time and it is hoped he will continue on his own from next month. Thank you, Ethan. During the offertory Margaret played the piece of music To a Wild Rose which was a favourite of June Richardson who was organist at the Church for many years and is now in a residential home. The Church greatly appreciated June's contribution to the services. The next Family service will be the Harvest festival on October 6th followed by a Harvest lunch at 12.00 (ticket only).

More Newhome thoughts on Computers

Well we are another year older having seen another harvest. So now we can look forward to all the TV adverts of how they can deliver before the turkeys die. Far too early to mention the next major Christian festival that coincides with the end of the year. Most of us have a mobile phone in our pocket. This has great benefits and is an amazing testament to the computer world we now live in. Smart phones are much more than a phone; more than a video phone, more than your diary, your map book, your sat nav, whether walking or driving. It is all of these things and much more. No wonder we see so many people stuck to their phone. Interestingly they have also introduced many people to a different type of computer system. No longer is it Windows or some other very techie thing no one really gets. Companies like Apple and Google have taken the techie one and turned it into the iPad and Android.

As a result, the big PC is becoming restricted to the office or study. They are still great if you need to have multiple pages open at once. Like reading the internet while typing up what you are reading about or copying images to a poster you are making. Laptops and many PCs will actually support two or more monitors which does give you a lot of scope to have the machine doing lots at once. More or larger monitors, apart from making things bigger which is necessary sometimes, is more like getting several books out at once so you don't have to keep flicking from page to page. It can also be much more immersive if you are playing a game such as motor racing. Giving the all-round vision normally lost in such games.

Equally if you are largely an internet user that sends the odd letter then the other systems are very good and proven to be just as accessible. Hence the rise in the use of tablets, iPads and phones. When you are looking at replacements remember this.

Apple products are expensive, but you can buy PCs and laptops. On the other hand, Google has Chrome books, which are laptops and quite cheap. If you are used to using Open or LibreOffice then these also come in Android and Mac versions for free. Of course, both systems come with app stores stuffed with other software, much of which is free. My phone has an app to analyse WiFi signals and another to count my steps. The choice is unbelievable.

So, I suppose when it comes to buying new tech have a good think about what you want to do before you just go and buy the most obvious thing. Personally, I have a PC for the big jobs and main work, a laptop for portable larger jobs and a phone for the everyday things and work.

ERESBY NEWS

Zoe Randall, Manager of Eresby Hall, attended the Volunteers' meeting on September 24th to inform the group that she would be leaving on November 7th. A replacement from a sister home will be replacing her. We wish Zoe every success in the future and thank her for all she has done for the home.

The flower arranging group will be meeting on October 1st to prepare an arrangement for the Trust Harvest festival at on October 2nd. We hope that Pat Bourn will be fully fit again to advise and help although Cinny Cuppleditch is there to step in and assist. Many thanks to both of you. Lesley, activities co ordinator, will be making a Victoria sponge with the residents to take to the festival and also some scarecrows.

People from Sainsburys have been very busy sorting out the garden. They have cleared the beds, put Autumn flowering plants in the pots and have set numerous bulbs. With money raised from selling tickets in the shop they are hoping to move one of the fences so that the Memorial garden can be contained within the main garden. The Memorial garden was created as a quiet place for residents to sit and each year the British Legion hold a service there but access for residents is difficult. Unsold flowers from the shop have been taken to Eresby Hall so the home looked beautiful with vases of flowers decorating the home. A thank you card has been sent from the residents to the gardeners who worked so hard.

Eresby came second out of seven homes competing in a variety of activities at the Falls Awareness day at Navenby and received two medals. Well done!

A Volunteers' coffee morning is to be held on Tuesday October 22nd from 10.00 – 12.00. There will be cakes and a raffle. Everyone welcome. The Hall is still looking for volunteers who are prepared to go out on visits with the residents. Unfortunately a visit to Freiston Shore war museum had to be cancelled due to lack of help. Could you spend 10 minutes talking to a resident? Could you assist a resident when going on a visit? If so please contact Lesley Bourne at Eresby Hall. Thank you.

“Are you sitting comfortable? Then I will begin.” Last year I wrote my first children’s book ‘Barty and Darcy.’ It was published as an e- book in January of this year. Reviewers from the likes of Amazon, Apple Books, NetGalley and Goodreads have described the book as “cute’ – ‘A lovely story.’ – ‘A book which I read with excitement.’ (this was from a mother reading it to her 3years old daughter.) These reviews which can be substantiated by the above organisations, are from customers all over the world, especially the UK and the USA. Many of the reviewers are teachers and librarians who have recommended it highly for reading.

Aimed at the age range 6 to 10 years old, it is being read to children much younger, some as low as 3 years old. It is also being read by adults. The story is “cute” but it also has a meaning. The cost is only £1.99 and can be read on an iPad, a Laptop, a Tablet, or an iPhone. Visit, Kindle, Books, Goodreads or Troubador Publishing and buy at the low price. Let the young ones read it or read it to them. Believe me, they will love it! Thanks for reading this. Mo Bird – email [email protected] you can contact me on Facebook at Maurice Bird, (Lincoln, Lincolnshire.)
