Churches in the Landscape

Stones collected together in one place can reveal a great deal about a people or a nation. This is true of the greater stones used in the Pyramids of Egypt, in Stonehenge, in Roman roads, in medieval cathedrals, in Victorian mills and factory chimneys, in modern skyscrapers; in the lesser stones used to build our smaller parish churches, in St Mary’s or St George’s and numerous such churches in our country.

An architect once wrote, “The purpose of a church is to worship, to bring a man to his knees, to refresh his soul in a barren land.” It is a holy place, made holy by the gathering of the faithful who talk to God there and listen to what he has to say. It is holy by association. It is God’s house; it is the gate of heaven. Here also at crucial moments of life come the parishioners for baptism, for marriage, and at death.

The Temple at Jerusalem was a holy place – a building made for worship, but it needed to be rid of the money changers. In anger, the Lord cast them out, “My house shall be called a house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves.” Who cannot feel the awe of certain churches, certain holy places? T. S. Eliot wrote:

you are here to kneel where prayer has been valid.

And who came to the Lord’s temple, who come? The blind who want to see, the deaf who want to hear, the lame who want to walk, the dumb who want to speak. Who welcomed him? It was none other than the children singing Hosanna to the son of David. Their later praises provoked the Lord to cry; “If these should hold their peace, the very stones would cry out.” Church is where many come to reach out and touch the hem of Christ’s garment.

1

The poet Philip Larkin writes of his experience as a “church crawler”. He creeps through the door, he detects the aura of the building. “A serious place, on serious earth is this.” Forget that he quits, dropping an Irish sixpence into the offertory box; he realises that this is a special place.

It is perhaps true that you only appreciate a place properly when you use it for its proper purpose. You do not appreciate a library till you spend time looking at the books and reading, or a concert hall until you have listened to the orchestra play and you certainly do not appreciate the full glory of a church and cathedral until you go there for worship.

In his book ‘ What Hetty did’, J. L. Carr tells how his hero visited Peterborough Cathedral and described its calming effect, derived perhaps just because it was there, “a shaped stone quarry turned turtle. Once underground. Now upon it”. So any church may generate a quality of peace to send a visitor “ready, aye ready to outface fate, come what may”.

October is the month for celebrating the dedication of churches. They are a sign of God in landscape, town or country. Those that have ears to hear should listen to what the stones are saying.

Henry Stapleton Sponsors of October Magazine

We are delighted to sponsor this months issue in loving memory of Margaret Gregory, a very dear Mum and Grandma who we still miss so much. Special thanks to John Dean for faithfully sending the magazine to us each month so that we are able to keep in touch with what is happening in the church that Mum loved so much.

With fond memories from David, Lyn, Jess, Ben and Ali (the new granddaughter-in-law who you didn’t have the joy of knowing but would have taken to your heart).

responding to God’s love enabling mission and ministry

On a Lighter Note

The strongman at a circus sideshow demonstrated his powers before a large audience. Towards the end, he squeezed the juice from a lemon between his hands. He then challenged the audience – “I will offer £100 to anyone who can squeeze another drop from this lemon”.

A thin scholarly looking lady came forward, picked up the lemon, strained hard and managed to get another drop. The strongman was amazed. He paid the woman and said, “I’ve been doing this act for sixteen years and tonight is the first time I’ve had to pay out. What is the secret of your strength?” “Practice,” the woman answered. “I was a church treasurer for thirty two years!”

Sometimes it does indeed feel like our need for money requires us to try and squeeze more and more out of those who already support the church.

But the Christian view on generosity is much more dynamic than that. Our faith nurtures us as givers so we are more needing to give rather than giving to a need. Giving that speaks of all that we have received from God.

As Amy Camichael, who served as a missionary in India for fifty five years once said:

“You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.”

Please ask and we will be happy to help on any aspect of giving.

Operation Christmas Child 2011

Where has summer gone, or has it ever been this year? Well the fact is, it is over and Autumn and Winter are just around the corner. And so is this years campaign for the shoe box appeal. This year we are hoping to send 8,000 boxes to Swaziland and it hasn’t been yet decided where the rest will go.

The same as last year, anyone who doesn’t want to fill a shoe box could help by donating pens, pencils, paper, rubbers, toothbrushes and toothpaste, soap, face cloths, small toys, sweets (must be in date up to March 2012), hats, gloves, etc. and of course any money donations would help with transportation costs. Leaflets and boxes will be available later. The campaign dates are 1st - 18th November. The warehouse at St James Church Meltham will be open from Thursday 3rd November up to around 20th November, if you would like to help check the boxes have a word with Cynthia Hepper or myself on 663847 about the times of opening.

Elaine Shaw Children's Society

Many thanks to all box holders. The sum collected and sent off to the Children's Society this year was £182.13. Heather Ambler Christmas Street Market

Once again I am offering you the inestimable benefits of a jolly good clearout! I need warm and clean jackets, coats, jumpers and skirts to sell at the Christmas Market. They keep folk warm and raise money for our church. Also, I have raised a lot of money from party clothes so they are welcome too. Have a look through your wardrobe soon! I can call and collect if needed (tel 664357). Thank you in anticipation. Brenda Wildman

Report on the DCC Meeting held on August 16 th

Eleven members of the DCC were present.

Under Matters Arising from the minutes of the previous meeting Jane Wardman reported that the new notice boards for use inside church were ready and would be installed in the near future. The Vicar reported that the external notice board was ready for erection. Pauline Adams informed the meeting that so far £860 had been donated towards the cost of sponsored repairs.

Treasurer Ian Walter presented the half-yearly figures and read out a letter which he had sent to Wakefield explaining a proposed deficit on the Common Fund of £12,000 for 2011. This will be on top of our 2010 deficit of £10,000. It is hoped that at the year end it may be possible to pay off some of the accumulated deficit.

Transformational Plan Group Reports included one from the Finance and Property Committee which had received advice from our Parish Architect, Stuart Beaumont on the reordering of the church interior in order to allow sale of the Parish Room. This is a long-term project and we are advised to obtain Planning Permission for Change of Use of the Parish Room and prepare a Statement of Need for the DAC regarding any changes in church.

For the Worship Planning Group Jane Wardman reported on consideration of the music setting for the Parish Eucharist Service, the splitting of the Gradual Hymn with the Gospel being read in the middle and plans for future Family Services. The October Service will be the Harvest Service and the Junior School Choir will attend.

The Vicar reported from the Prayer and Spirituality Group that sessions based on the Emmaus Course would begin soon.

Jane Wardman circulated her summary correlating the results from the ‘Awayday’ and the responses recorded in church on the Sunday. As a result a series of revised briefs for each group had been formulated and the groups are to produce action plans for the November meeting of the DCC. A further outcome of the Awayday was awareness of a need to co-opt representatives of the Prayer and Spirituality and Community Groups onto the DCC. 8

Under Correspondence the Vicar announced the appointment of Dr Anne Dawtry as Archdeacon of Halifax.

In ‘Any Other Business’ Jane Wardman asked for information relating to sources of pens, fridge magnets etc which could be obtained to publicise St Mary’s or church groups at the Street Market and other occasions.

Pauline Adams emphasised the need to support Alice Moore’s money-raising efforts – especially her Coffee Morning - to raise funds for her expedition to Peru in 2012

Many thanks, the DCC 9

Many thanks to all those who supported the Wave of Prayer on 1 st September and to Andrea who led the service in my absence. The theme of the service was ‘faithful reIationships’. The Wakefield Diocese took over in the ‘wave’ from Truro in Cornwall and passed over to Worcester afterwards. I did think about you on the day and prayed with you from Whitby.

Thanks also to all those who volunteered to help with the Deanery Festival which took place on Monday 19th September. It was a very special service, with an address by Monica Dodds, Diocesan President, which focussed on putting faith into action by our deeds.

Mothers’ Union have produced some very attractive cards for all occasions including Christmas Cards. If you missed them at the Deanery Festival and would like to see them they will be available at our next meeting.

John Dean will be the speaker on Wednesday 5 th October when he will talk to us about Wood Carving. We are all impressed by the standard of his workmanship as seen in the new altar rail so do come to the meeting and find out how this is achieved. Visitors are always welcome at our meetings.

The University Freshers’ Fayre will take place at the beginning of October. At the time of writing I do not know any details yet but volunteers will be needed both on the day and also to make dishes for the students to sample on the M.U. stall. If you would like to help I have a copy of the “ Grub on no Grant” recipe book.

“Families First” the bimonthly magazine can still be ordered for next year. Although it retails at £2.50 per copy, members can order six copies to be delivered post-free for £9. It is an excellent family magazine and would make a good present for a daughter or friend.

AD

24 young people got the new session off to a good start. As always the tie-dyeing activity was hugely popular and a new range of 'Brockholes fashion' in the shape of t-shirts was produced. In anticipation of larger numbers we 'recruited' temporary help and would like to thank John, David and Cash for their support. The next AD meeting is Thursday 13th October when we hope everyone will be amazed at what you can make out of recyclable goods. Kate Drake

From Polar Bears to Penguins

Please join us at St George's Church Brockholes on Friday 28th October at 7pm, for an illustrated talk by Mr J. Robert Sugden, world traveller, who will share with us his experiences at opposite ends of the earth, illustrated on the big screen by some spectacular photography.

An ode to the English Plural

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I speak of my foot and show you my feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and there would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother, we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? We ship by truck but send cargo by ship... We have noses that run and feet that smell. And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

‘Parkinsons’

The following poem was written by a local lady who has sadly suffered from ill health in recent years. She has had her collection of poems and verse, covering all aspects of every day life, published in a small book to raise funds for charity.

Will you still love me when I become Should I ever lose the power of speech a shuffling, shaking wreck would you notice anyway? And will our romance be confined It’s not as if I ever had to a simple friendly peck? an awful lot to say.

Shall strips of Velcro take the place So. After forty five long years of buttons on my blouses, of husbandly devotion, And dresses, skirts and tights Are you prepared to share with me make way for ankle socks & trousers? a life lived in slow motion?

Whilst struggling with a knife and fork Enid Harrison, shall I admit defeat ‘Muses of an Ins-zz-omniac” And ask if you’d be kind enough to cit up all my meat? Published with the permission of L Harrison

A little known fact about Shampoo

I have just discovered this important information below. Please share with all your friends...it's the shampoo I use in the shower!

When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body. Printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning, "FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY." No wonder I have been gaining weight!

Well, I have got rid of that shampoo and I am going to start using Washing Up Liquid instead. It's label reads, "DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE." Problem solved!

If I don't answer the phone I'll be in the shower!
