Dear Readers I often find I am thanking various people in the local community for helping to produce the ABC magazine, which is a real community venture but still centred around the churches and church activities—it is after all only through the grace of God that any of us are here and are so privileged to live in such a beautiful, safe and vital neighbourhood. My thanks in this issue go to Mrs Beryl Roe and the team of people, those unsung heroes, who distribute the magazine. Mrs Roe, through her inestimable powers of persuasion has recruited another four distributors, so the team now numbers 30 people, who give up their own time to ensure you have your copy of ABC on time. On behalf of the ABC Committee, I thank you one and all.

There will always be someone who will criticise but then that has more to do with their nature than the truth of what is happening. This is why our attitude is the most important decision we make each day. It either keeps us moving ahead or cripples our progress in life. Yet we spend more time over things we can’t change than we do giving attention to the one thing we can change—our attitude. Gratitude is an attitude, and King David of the Old Testament said “I will bless the Lord at all times”. It wasn’t an impulse, but an attitude of praise. Love is also an attitude, love says “I accept you as you are, care when you hurt, desire only what is best for you and forget all offences”. Trust is also an attitude. The Psalmist said “The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds those who trust Him”. I have come to realise that those who don’t recognise your needs and respect your aims will divert you, and keep you down. The answer is to have a positive attitude and give it what you can. God will never let you down since His attitude is always loving mercy. Our grateful thanks must go to all those who arranged the Community Celebrations on Sunday 29th May for the Queen’s 90th Birthday tea at Broughton Parish Room, entertainment by local musicians, and the opening of three lovely gardens; well done. May I also mention that our services in all three churches could be better supported, and to which everyone would receive a very warm welcome. The service schedule is on the back page. See you soon. With best wishes Yours in His service Rev’d John Day 3 STOP PRESS … STOP PRESS … STOP PRESS … We are pleased to announce that in addition to the two gardens mentioned, you will have the opportunity to view the garden of Mrs. L. Griffiths at The Old Vicarage, Broughton from 1.00 - 3.30pm. This garden is on the B5026 (in the direction of Loggerheads) just a short walk along from the Parish Room on the same side of the road. The entrance is framed by large wrought iron gates. 4 5 RETIREMENTS This issue we wish long and happy retirements to two well known and well loved local characters; Revd Preb. Jonathan Eades and local postie Tony Caton. On Saturday 9th April, over a hundred and fifty friends gathered at Oakley Hall, to bid a fond farewell to our friend Rev. Jonathan Eades as he reaches his retirement. A warm welcome was extended by Jill Cheadle to all present and we all joined in with the singing of 'I, the Lord of sea and sky'. The joint choirs of Ashley, Broughton, Croxton and Mucklestone then sang an anthem, ably led by Peter Shone. Fr. Roger Legg read from Paul's letter to Philemon which was followed by short tributes to Jonathan by Colin Garnett and Rev. Doug Heming. Another hymn - 'Be still for the presence of the Lord, The Holy One is here' - was prayerfully sung by all assembled. Roger Pooley and Anna Mortimer then offered prayers and afterwards Rev John Day presented Jonathan with an iPad which he had requested for his leaving present. Jonathan thanked all his friends who had come to wish him well for the future and said that he would be remembering each one of us. He expressed sincere thanks for kindness shown to him over the past eight years. Finally, we all sang The Irish Blessing to Jonathan before partaking of the wonderful refreshments provided by members of the churches. John and Stella Day Flat 16 Dulverton Hall Esplanade, Scarborough North Yorkshire, YO11 2AR Tel. 01723-340116 email: [email protected] Dear One and All A very big 'thank you' for such a wonderful 'send off'. The final services were very moving. The pilgrimage around the churches was just right. The 'do' at Oakley almost moved me to tears! Above all thank you for your wonderful gifts (you are so generous!) and for all your encouragement and support over the past eight years. You will remain in my prayers! With my love, Jonathan 6 Dear Friends I would like to express my sincere thanks to all those kind people of the Woodland Quarter and the surrounding districts for my retirement cards and gifts on my retirement from Royal Mail (1972- 2016); a job in the community which I have enjoyed so much. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues at Royal Mail Stafford for their gifts and good wishes. Once again many, many thanks.

We have been at the forefront in the deliberations which have led to the introduction of the Common Awards.

  • Holy Communion from the Reserved Sacrament
    29 November 2018 To all lay and ordained ministers holding the Bishop’s Licence or Permission to Officiate in the Diocese of Lichfield Holy Communion from the Reserved Sacrament Holy Communion is at the heart of our worshipping life together. It is an indispensable part of our Anglican worship, identity, and community. At the Communion table we are united as members in the Body of Christ. We are fed at Christ’s own table and sent out to be his body in a needy world. A regular pattern of receiving Holy Communion should, therefore, be part of the spiritual practice of all faithful Anglicans. However, we are aware that in some particular situations and churches a regular round of Holy Communion services is hard to maintain, usually due to a lack of availability of priests. The Church of England makes provision for this exceptional situation by providing a liturgy of Public Worship with Communion by Extension, which you can find online. This service assumes the existence of previously consecrated elements, which may then be distributed reverently and appropriately by authorised persons. We are writing this letter, and have written the attached guidelines, to make clear the circumstances under which you may use this liturgy in our Diocese, recognising also that some will not want to avail themselves of this for theological reasons. We hope that these guidelines are self- explanatory and that they will assist you to use this service appropriately as and where necessary. We would wish to draw out and highlight the following points: 1. This service is intended as a means of facilitating regular reception of Holy Communion.

  • Eagle March April 2018
    St. John’s Burns Night Supper, Saturday 27th January 2018 Photograph by Michael St. John’s Burns Night Supper, Saturday 27th January 2018 Photograph by Kirsteen 2 From the Rectory It is indeed my great pleasure to meet you through 'the Eagle'! A little over a month has passed since I was licensed and installed as Priest in Charge at St John's and I am encouraged that it's been a good first month! I was ordained in the Church of South India and have been involved in the ministry of the church in various ca- pacities in India and in the UK over the past twenty years. My wife, Grace, is also an ordained minister and we are blessed with three children: Felina, Erina and Darshan, who are settling well in their schools and nursery. My doctoral studies at the University of Nottingham brought us to the UK in 2011 and seven years on, I am delighted to have received the call to serve as Priest at St John's Forres. It's a privilege and joy to join in the long-standing and continuing Christian witness and heritage of this place. We are grateful for the warmth, welcome and goodwill extended to us. Evidently, a lot of work has gone into preparations, particularly the redec- oration of the Rectory and the work in the gardens. With the unpacking now completed, we are delighted to have this beautiful house as our home. We are enjoying getting acquainted with the beautiful surround- ings and friendly people of Forres. We look forward to getting to know you all and participate in the vibrant community spirit obvious both in the church and in the town.
