Cover by Graeme Vicar’s Letter For March By Rev Derek Newton or God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have F eternal life. (John 3:16) This verse has been described as ‗the greatest verse in the Bible‘, as it enables us to understand the events of Good Friday and Easter Day. God‘s love is unconditional: God demonstrated the extent of His love by sending His Son into this world, to show us what it looks like: ‗God with skin on‘! God graciously loves us, as none of us deserves it. ‗There is nothing we can do to make God love us more. There is nothing we can do to make God love us less.‘ (Philip Yancey). God‘s love is sacrificial: The cross is the supreme demonstration of God‘s love, as Jesus identifies with a fallen, suffering world. He died for our sins, removing the barrier between us and God, giving access into God‘s presence and release from the power of sin and death. God‘s love is accessible: Jesus‘ resurrection makes His eternal life available to all who put their trust in Him. It‘s an offer of life with purpose, in which we can know God personally, both now and for eternity. Bobby Moore described receiving the World Cup from the Queen in 1966 as terrifying: ‗I noticed that the Queen was wearing some beautiful white gloves. I looked down at my hands and they were completely covered with mud‘! Although we approach God with dirty and spoilt lives, by the cross and resurrection, we can shake hands with a holy God. Thanks to Graeme for sending the above when I was struggling for whatever reason to put not just pen to paper but to say clearly what is in my mind. The word which leaped out from above was SACRIFICIAL. As God‘s love is sacrificial so is our calling and our ministry. Sacrificial in so many ways: not only giving our all but also in facing the challenges around us. The vote in the Deanery Synod on the 22nd February 2018 was in many ways a turning point for the Deanery in Houghton and of course for St Andrews here in Chilton Moor.

1. Houghton Deanery would have 3 Distinct Units: Houghton Newbottle & Lyons 2 posts: , , & Burnmoor 1 Post & Chillton Moor, East & West Rainton & Lumley 1 Post 2. Houghton Deanery to possibly merge with Chester-le-Street  ~ St Andrew’s Church ~ 1 Deanery yet maintain its identity as a Group Ministry. 3: Houghton Deanery Parishes to become part of a Group Ministry.

Therefore a full time Priest in Charge for Chilton Moor, East & West Rainton and Lumley. Not exactly a quarter post per church but in many ways a single person pulled in four directions. Also being part of a Team Ministry across the deanery helping out and of course being helped out by others. A challenge for a new person to co-ordinate ministry and also to develop the ministry of others. It does not matter how dynamic or charismatic the new person will be without the help of the laity their position will be an impossible task. The time is now to accept this challenge and with the ACPM coming up in April it is the opportunity to become part of the team which will embrace the way forward, not only for St Andrews but with our fellow churches in the small group. So it is up to you now? Remember to attract the right person to lead it is up to you to be the right sacrificial people. God Bless Revd Derek Newton 

30th March Good Friday, The Day The Son Of God Died For You ood Friday is the day on which Jesus died on the cross. He was crucified at 9am in the morning, G and died six hours later, at 3pm. It is the most solemn day in the Christian year, and is widely marked by the removal of all decorations from churches. In Lutheran churches, the day was marked by the reading of the passion narrative in a gospel, a practice which lies behind the ‗passions‘ composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750). Both the St Matthew Passion and the St John Passion have their origins in this observance of Good Friday. The custom of observing a period of three hours‘ devotion from 12 midday to 3 pm on Good Friday goes back to the 18th century. The ‗Three Hours of the Cross‘ often take the form of an extended meditation on the ‗Seven Last Words from the Cross‘, with periods of silence, prayer, or hymn-singing.

2 ~ St Andrew’s Church ~ 17th March St Patrick – Beloved Apostle To Ireland t Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. If you‘ve ever been in New York on St Patrick‘s Day, S you‘d think he was the patron saint of New York as well…. the flamboyant parade is full of American/ Irish razzmatazz. It‘s all a far cry from the hard life of this 5th century humble Christian who became in time both bishop and apostle of Ireland. Patrick was born the son of a town councillor in the west of , between the Severn and the Clyde. But as a young man he was captured by Irish pirates, kidnapped to Ireland, and reduced to slavery. He was made to tend his master‘s herds. Desolate and despairing, Patrick turned to prayer. He found God was there for him, even in such desperate circumstances. He spent much time in prayer, and his faith grew and deepened, in contrast to his earlier years, when he ―knew not the true God‖. Then, after six gruelling, lonely years he was told in a dream he would soon go to his own country. He either escaped or was freed, made his way to a port 200 miles away and eventually persuaded some sailors to take him with them away from Ireland. After various adventures in other lands, including near-starvation, Patrick landed on English soil at last, and returned to his family. But he was much changed. He had enjoyed his life of plenty before; now he wanted to devote the rest of his life to Christ. Patrick received some form of training for the priesthood, but not the higher education he really wanted. But by 435, well educated or not, Patrick was badly needed. Palladius‘ mission to the Irish had failed, and so the Pope sent Patrick back to the land of his slavery. He set up his see at Armagh, and worked principally in the north. He urged the Irish to greater spirituality, set up a school, and made several missionary journeys. Patrick‘s writings are the first literature certainly identified from the British Church. They reveal sincere simplicity and a deep pastoral care. He wanted to abolish paganism, idolatry, and was ready for imprisonment or death in the following of Christ. Patrick remains the most popular of the Irish saints. The principal cathedral of New York is dedicated to him, as, of course, is the Anglican cathedral of Dublin.

~ St Andrew’s Church ~ 3 Is ‘Religious Karaoke’ Growing In Popularity? t seems that churches across the country are increasingly ditching their hymn books, in favour of using big screens to project the words. Some churches have spent up to £50,000 on audio-visual systems I including projector screens and LCD TVs for their flock. Many churches reckon that it is cheaper to subscribe to a licensing service which allows them to project the words to hymns and worship songs, rather than buying books. Christian Copyright Licensing International currently sells churches licenses, which allows them to reproduce hymns and worship songs. It currently covers about 24,500 sites in the UK. The most recent figures suggest that in 2013, there were 50,660 churches in the UK.

Bill’s Gardening Tips

ell, 'Beast from the East' certainly sounds a bit nearer the mark for early March than 'In like a lion, out like a lamb'. OK, once we can get out of the W door: Keep bird feeders topped up. Birds are struggling for food in this weather. Brush off snow from the crowns of shrubs and plants in so far as possible. Balance that against trying to keep off snow covered lawns. As the weather improves (hopefully) improve soil quality in beds, for the forthcoming growing season, by digging in compost and chicken manure or fish. blood and bone as a general fertilizer. This is a good time to move deciduous shrubs. Shrubs, trees and hedges will benefit from a slow release fertilizer. Plant summer flowering bulbs. Snowdrops 'in the green' can be planted now for next winter's display. Plant out herbacious perennials. Roses will need a feed and pruning back to encourage new growth. Prune summer flowering clematis before active growth starts. Cut back dogwoods to the base. Cut out the top rosette of mahonia leaves to encourage branching. Cut back dead perennial foliage and ornamental grasses. Trim winter flowering heathers. Later in the month, dead head daff's and let foliage die back naturally. Dead head hydrangeas to above a new bud. Top dress containers with fresh compost. Bill

~ St Andrew’s Church ~ 9 29th March Maundy Thursday, Time To wash Feet

aundy Thursday is famous for two things. The first is one of the final acts that Jesus did before His death: the washing of His own disciples‘ feet. (see M John 13) Jesus washed His disciples‘ feet for a purpose: ―A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.‖ His disciples were to love through service, not domination, of one another. In Latin, the opening phrase of this sentence is ‗mandatum novum do vobis‘. The word ‗mundy‘ is thus a corruption of the Latin ‗mandatum‘ (or command). The ceremony of the ‗washing of the feet‘ of members of the congregation came to be an important part of the liturgy (regular worship) of the medieval church, symbolising the humility of the clergy, in obedience to the example of Christ. But Thursday was also important because it was on that night that Jesus first introduced the Lord‘s Supper, or what we nowadays call Holy Communion. Jesus and His close friends had met in a secret upper room to share the Passover meal together - for the last time. And there Jesus transformed the Passover into the Lord‘s Supper, saying, ‗this is my body‘ and ‗this is my blood‘ as He, the Lamb of God, prepared to die for the sins of the whole world. John‘s gospel makes it clear that the Last Supper took place the evening BEFORE the regular Passover meal, and that later Jesus died at the same time that the Passover lambs were killed.

Easter Prayer

Almighty Father, When life is difficult and the way seems too hard, help us to remember the reality of Easter; of the resurrection of Jesus; of His wonderful saving work on the cross, overcoming death to offer us life for all eternity with you. There is so much we don’t understand, Lord, but you know everything, you are in charge and we can trust you even when we can’t work things out. Thank you for the hope, peace and joy that you alone can give - and all because of the resurrection of Jesus. Thank you that He is alive today and able to help us whatever our situation. Help us to be your Easter People, reaching out with your love and life. In Jesus name, Amen. By Daphne Kitching

12 ~ St Andrew’s Church ~ Want to be creative? Have a cup of tea ea drinkers have always known that almost anything is possible, with a cup of tea in your hand, and now it seems that the scientists are T catching up with them. For there seems to be proof that a simple cup of tea can spark an instant burst of your brainpower and creativity, enhancing your mood and cognitive ability. Yet, although tea contains both caffeine and theanine, both of which increase attentiveness and alertness, these do not usually take effect as quickly as the simple act of drinking tea seems to do. Thus, researchers suspect that simply drinking the tea works to enhance your mood. Tests found that drinking tea helped people in both divergent thinking (the process of coming up with a number of new ideas around a central theme), and also with creativity. This must make tea the go-to drink for writers, artists and musicians, and indeed anyone looking for inspiration. So - go put the kettle on! The study appeared in the journal Food Quality and Preference.

~ St Andrew’s Church ~ 13 Jelly Babies & Peace Babies ere is an interesting fact about ―Jelly Babies‖, when they were first made they were not called jelly babies, they were called "Peace Babies" because they were produced after the 1st World War and each colour represented a country, which fought in the war. H nd It wasn't long before the 2 World War started and because sweets and chocolate were not essential goods, the production of "Peace Babies" stopped. But our story doesn't stop there, after the War, a man decided to buy the factory where "Peace Babies" were made. This man was a very special man, as he loved Jesus. Can we let you into a secret? Not many people know this secret .… There are secret symbols hidden on each "Jelly Baby" which can help us tell others about the wonderful love of Jesus Christ! Black = When you lick off the flour you can see a Heart, which represents the sin in our lives. Green= You will see the Baby Crying, which represents God's sadness that People didn't know the way to Heaven. Red = You will see a B which represents "Blood" as Christ died to show how much he loved us and to show the way to heaven Pink = Is a Baby, when we become a Christian we become a "child of God" (or born again). Yellow= Is wearing a Necklace, which represents the riches of Heaven. Orange= Is wearing a Waist Bag which tells us that we need to be prepared for Jesus coming again. A fantastic message . . . all from a packet of ―Jelly babies!‖

14 ~ St Andrew’s Church ~ Mothers & Mothering other‘s Day, will be celebrated on Sunday 11th March, though the cards, boxes of chocolates and reservations for deliveries of M flowers will be in the shops long before. It‘s a very nice idea, as most of us love our mothers dearly and welcome a chance to celebrate their importance in our lives. Mother‘s Day is Christian event, marked nowadays in the Church Calendar, with the title ‗Mothering Sunday‘. It‘s still widely observed in churches on the fourth Sunday of Lent, and yes, that is 11th March, too. The difference between them is subtle but profound. ‗Mother‘s Day‘ is about who she is, particularly in our lives. ‗Mothering Sunday‘, as its rather awkward name implies, is about a quality which we recognise in mothers but can be present elsewhere – to ‗mother‘ someone. We have all needed mothering, from time to time, and not simply when we were tiny and helpless, literally dependent on our mothers for our sustenance and survival. During the years of the last War I was ‗mothered‘ by my grandmother. Sometimes a friend acts in this role for us, when we feel lonely or helpless. ‗Mothering‘ means caring deeply, sustaining, supporting, whatever the cost. That is why God, whom we usually call ‗Father‘, is sometimes spoken of in the Bible as ‗mothering‘ us, gathering us in His arms of love, even feeding us like a mother. On ‗Mothering Sunday‘ we celebrate so much more than our own beloved mums. We celebrate the whole glorious notion of care, compassion and nurture. And of that care, very often our own mothers are the very best examples. 25th March Palm Sunday, Jesus At The Gates Of Jerusalem oly Week begins with Palm Sunday, when the Church remembers how Jesus arrived at the gates of Jerusalem just a few days before the Passover H was due to be held. He was the Messiah come to His own people in their capital city, and yet He came in humility, riding on a young donkey, not in triumph, riding on a war-horse. As Jesus entered the city, the crowds gave Him a rapturous welcome, throwing palm fronds into His path. They knew His reputation as a healer, and welcomed Him. But sadly, the welcome was short-lived and shallow, for Jerusalem would soon reject her Messiah, and put Him to death. On this day churches worldwide will distribute little crosses made from palm fronds in memory of Jesus‘ arrival in Jerusalem.

~ St Andrew’s Church ~ 15 Burnmoor Church Celebrates 150 Years he Rt Revd Paul Butler, Bishop of Durham, is to visit Burnmoor Church near Chester-le-Street, the 10 a.m. service on Sunday 25th February. The date is exactly 150 years since the Church was consecrated in 1868 T by one of the bishop‘s predecessors, the Rt Revd Charles Baring. Burnmoor Churchwarden Harry Willis says: ―We invite everyone to join us for this special occasion.‖ The village of Burnmoor is on the edge of , besides Lambton Park, ancestral seat of the Earls of Durham. The name of the village is often spelt ‗Bournmoor‘ nowadays. The church was built by the Second Earl of Durham. The foundation stone was laid by the Countess of Durham, using a silver and ivory handled trowel which can still be seen in the church. Burnmoor‘s church of Saint Barnabas is widely known as ‗The Church with the Angel,‘ because dominating the nave is The Angel of Victory, an enormous statue in white Carrara marble. It was given to the church by the fifth Earl of Durham in memory of his father and his uncle who were twin brothers. The task of getting the angel into the church was very difficult owing to her huge size, 15 feet high with a wingspan of 7 feet. The wings were unhooked, but even so, one of the entrance door pillars had to be dismantled. The visit by the Bishop of Durham is just one of the events in this year of celebration for the church, which is hosting music concerts and other events. Churchwarden Margaret Mears said: ―We have invited all the clubs and groups who meet in the Parish to take part in a Flower Festival in June.‖ Article from the Durham Diocese web site, supplied by St Barnabas Church, Burnmoor
