Medlock Valley Saddleworth School, along with the nine DLP schools; Delph, Denshaw, Diggle, Knowsley, Friezland, Saddleworth, St Agnes, St Mary’s and St Thomas, adapted our St Anne’s Lydgate plans for a poetry competition amidst the lockdown to provide focus for those learning St. Joseph’s RC from home and to celebrate and acknowledge some of the fantastic work created by St. Matthew’s pupils in and around Oldham. All pieces submitted were judged by a team of experts from Saddleworth School, with each of the ‘Dovestone Prize Winners’ receiving a trophy St. Paul’s and Amazon voucher in recognition of their achievement.

W. Harrison We are very sad to have to report that one of the new members of your committee, Peter Robinson, died last March. This was obviously a great loss to his family, and also to his friends, all to whom we extend our heart-felt condolences. Peter had only just commenced his service with the committee and was looking forward to help the Society grow. His loss is our sad loss. Your committee is still struggling to operate as well as we would wish due to a reduction in the number of trustees. There just aren’t enough to carry on the business of the Society properly. This year Charles Baumann has left the committee after many years of service when he undertook various tasks such as chairing lectures, organizing fund raising Flea Markets with me, publicising our events and other ventures as the need arose.

Returning to Saddleworth after five months of being unwell, I look forward to Advent and the Christmas season. There is something powerful about discovering that in times of darkness and the icy winter of the soul the whisper of God’s breath is not absent. The presence of God is more a spark or the subtle flicker of a tiny flame than the glare of fairy lights and Christmas decorations. Through Advent we watch with those who live with darkness; with fear; with anxiety. We watch for the glimpses of God at work and we wait for dawn to break. And as we wait for the shadows to pass Index and the sun to rise we begin to see that the birth of Jesus is but one Page of many manifestations of God. In the gloom we see what God has always been revealing through beauty, colour, music, birdsong; that The Rector writes… 3 God delights in giving himself to us; pouring out his life for us; Portraying the Nativity 4 touching us with his grace. ‘Making a Difference’ 1 4 I have discovered fragility, vulnerability, betrayal and unfathomable #FollowTheStar 5 sadness, yet I have known also the beautiful, mysterious power of Who’s Who 6 love and prayer and friendship.

    £1 June & July 2018 © Trustees of the British Museum Issue 4 “Celebrating God’s presence in all people.” www.cofeinsaddleworth.org.uk - - - 2 - The Rector writes... The disciples of Jesus said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’. These were people who were familiar with Jewish customs and familiar with ritual prayer, structured prayer, formulaic prayer. Yet they asked Jesus to teach them something deeper, something that would sustain them. They recognised in Jesus that his relationship with God went beyond the familiar strict boundaries of known prayer. Frequently recently I have been approached with the same request, ‘Teach us to pray’. It is a cry from the heart. It expresses a desire to be drawn into a deeper life with God; into something that is more than that with which we are familiar. It is a yearning to inhabit a way of living that embraces mystery and silence. It is a desire to live Index more deeply and more meaningfully in a world where human value is primarily seen through the eyes of productivity, usefulness and Page success. Silence, which lies at the very heart of prayer, is The Rector writes 3 counter-intuitive in a world of competing, justifying, comparing and Benefice Who’s Who 4 winning.

  • The Poetry of Brass Bands
    The poetry of brass bands Gavin Holman 28 September 2017 (National Poetry Day) - updated May 2020 Over the years several brass bands have been immortalised in poetry. From those lauding their heroes to the ones which are critical or even insulting. From the earliest days poets have found something in the music of the bands and the people who play in them to inspire their muse. I think it is fair to say that most of the writers would not have made a career out of their works - some are certainly more William McGonagall than William Wordsworth – but nonetheless they are priceless views of the bands and bandsmen. 99 examples of odes to the bands of the past are provided here for your enjoyment.

In the summer, sadly, Roger Ivens, our Bulletin editor, had to give up this role due to pressure of work. Roger has done a first class job over the last three years and our grateful thanks are due to him for achieving such a high standard of publication, also for his own articles which have added to our knowledge of Saddleworth’s past. Also, for health reasons Stanley Broadbent has handed the job of newsletter editor to Michael Fox. Once again sincere thanks go to Stanley for his contributions to the newsletter over many years and thanks to Michael for taking on this important job.

The gloriously warm and sunny Easter weekend was marred by fire and destruction. We watched our moorland burn. We learnt of the massacre of innocents at worship and on holiday in Sri Lanka. Meanwhile our country continues to be leaderless and rudderless and drifting dangerously far from stability. We are encouraged to enter the public arena on social media, only to discover the dark side of many hearts and minds displayed in the rudeness and aggression that is shared. We are an Easter people. We are called to sing a different song; to dance to a different tune; to a revolution of tenderness. The Christian Gospel is a world away from all that is negative, cynical and blatantly unkind. Jesus calls us to be different; to make a Index difference; to celebrate difference; to be church for a different world.
