  • Parish Profile for the Benefices of St James Church, Biddenham and All Saints Church, Kempston (Held in Plurality)
    The Diocese of St Albans Living God’s Love Parish Profile for The benefices of St James Church, Biddenham and All Saints Church, Kempston (held in plurality) Living to love God and serve our local communities Thank you for considering our benefices - we are grateful for your interest. First of all, can we show you a little of whom we are in a couple of photos? 1 1 Summary We are benefices in a period of transition: For years we have been two comfortable, warm parishes having many admirable features and serving an area of settled housing. We have been caring communities with a faithful core of members and full churches at the Christian festivals. We have had well maintained churches and a strong choral Eucharistic culture and active Sunday schools. But the world around us has changed. We are now surrounded by areas of new-build estates and a new village populated largely by un-churched residents looking for community. More generally we have an increasingly secular and consumerist culture where the preferred activities on Sundays do not include going to church. People have little knowledge of the Christian faith and therefore reject its validity. We recognise that we have to change: We need, with the help of our Vicar, to learn more about our faith and to increase our commitment to Jesus Christ and knowing Him as Lord and Master, so that we can take the Gospel out both into our traditional areas and into the new-build estates. We must develop an enthusiasm about our faith; otherwise nobody will listen to us.

  • MARY WILKINSON – Interview No 23
    THE COHEN INTERVIEWS MARY WILKINSON – Interview No 23 Edited by Tim Cook and Harry Marsh Annotation research by Diana Wray Transcription by Olwen Gotts for WISEArchive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is one of 26 interviews with social work pioneers conducted by the late Alan Cohen in 1980 - 81. The period of social work history Alan wished to explore with the interviewees was 1929 - 59. With one exception (No 24, Clare Winnicott), the interviews were unpublished until this edition in 2013. The copyright is held by the not for profit organisation WISEArchive. Each interview is presented as a free-standing publication with its own set of notes. However, readers interested in the Cohen Interviews as a whole and the period discussed are referred to: (a) the other 25 interviews (b) the Editors’ Introduction (c) the Select Bibliography. All of these can be found at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/explorefurther/subject_guides/social_work ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mary Wilkinson The interview with Mary Wilkinson is the shortest of the 26 and in many ways the most difficult to categorise as the interviewee represents an older style of working, within the probation service, rather than the more pioneering and reflective approaches of the other 25 interviewees. Mary Wilkinson’s voice is however clear and forthright and offers valuable points to consider when reflecting on the history of social work development. She stayed in one area, Bedfordshire, all her working life (1939-1972) and placed great emphasis on the importance of having roots in the community and being widely known in the area. She saw this as enabling her to do a better job and was critical of those who perhaps only stayed for two years.

  • CPC Draft Minutes March 2021
    Appendix 1 Borough Council Report to Parish Councils March 2021 Petition to improve flood defences Over the Christmas period there were worrying floods in the borough and these are becoming a more regular occurrence. Investigations revealed that the current flood action plan was drawn up in September 2015 whilst there was another risk assessment in November 2020 it is unclear to see how it follows from the action plan in 2015. In the 2015 plan there are several actions which are still ongoing, and it is unclear whether they have been completed. Therefore, a petition was started by the Conservative Group to review the causes of the local flooding and seek improvements to the flood defences. It also asks for more action to be taken to increase flood protection in the Borough. You can find more information here: http://chng.it/VYvBwZ8q This petition was accepted by Full Council on Wednesday 24th February and the Council has committed to set up a “water management forum”, to included Councillors, that will facilitate the promotion of good practice in our communities in relation to flood risk. Controversial route 'E' for East West Rail a source of increasing concern for Borough residents The chosen route selected for the East West Rail project - route E - continues to prove controversial and Borough Councillors received a petition this month, signed by over 1600 Bedford residents, objecting to it. The petition was debated at a heated meeting of the Borough Council on 24th February, when a number of residents from parishes in and around the route, put a series of questions to Council Leaders, and calling for the Council to "hold a full public consultation to be followed by a debate at Full Council in respect of the Council's decision to support Route E".

  • Marstonmarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire Marstonmarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire
    MarstonMarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire MarstonMarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire Marston Thrift represents a unique and exciting opportunity to create a viable and sustainable new village community of 2,000 homes close to Marston Moretaine in line with the Central Bedfordshire local plan. What you see here is only the beginning of the journey, we will deliver: • 2,000 new homes, including a range of home types and tenures. We will work with the country’s best housebuilders to craft homes of the highest quality. The range of homes will be designed around fresh air, green space and excellent connections • A 50 bed extra care facility • Two new lower schools and one new middle school, delivered alongside the new homes to cater for the increased demand for school places • A community hub with healthcare, retail, and leisure opportunities • Improved walking, cycling, and public transport facilities, including a dedicated ‘park and change’ facility • An extension to the existing Millennium Country Park, providing a significant new area of open space for new and existing residents to enjoy • A new community woodland delivered in partnership with the Forest of Marston Vale Trust, contributing to the overall objective of increasing woodland within the Marston Vale 1 2 Marston Thrift is not reliant on significant new infrastructure and benefits from the recently completed improvement work carried out on the A421. The site is free from physical constraints, in single ownership and has immediate accessibility to existing transport connections. We are therefore capable of delivering housing early within the plan period, with the first residential completions anticipated within three years, of obtaining an outline planning consent, helping to meet Central Bedfordshire’s strategic housing needs from the outset.

  • Reflections & Prayers for Sunday 11 October 2020
    Reflections & Prayers for Sunday 11th October 2020 This week we look at Stewardship. During lockdown, many have used their gifts, abilities, and talents God has given by sewing masks, scrubs, or doing shopping for those isolating – all ways of loving our neighbours. Today Tom Venner helps us look at loving God with our money. 1 Contents Reading for this Sunday p. 2 Reflection p. 3-5 Prayers p. 6-7 Parish Prayers p. 8-9 Gospel Reading Luke 18:18-30 A certain ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother.’” He replied, “I have kept all these since my youth.” When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “There is still one thing lacking. Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” But when he heard this, he became sad; for he was very rich. Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” He replied, “What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.” Then Peter said, “Look, we have left our homes and followed you.” And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not get back very much more in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.” 2 Reflection from Tom Venner It is commonly said that one should not speak of religion, politics or money in polite society, but in today’s Gospel Jesus is challenging us to think of all three.

  • Headstock July 2017
    The Newsletter of the Bedford District of the Bedfordshire Association of Church Bell Ringers July 2017 Web Version This version of Headstock has photographs with reduced quality. It also has contact details of people removed. Personal contact details can be found in your Tower's copy of Headstock, or in the latest Annual Report. 2 From the Chairman The District Outing was rescheduled from its May date to June 10th but our May date did not go to waste. Ian and Anna Townsend ran a Little Bob Minor training day which I understand was excellently organised and well received by the participants. For a training day materials can be prepared and experienced ringers available to help novices through a method. It does require the participants to ring on what may be unfamiliar bells, but anybody attempting to ring a method should have a good enough ringing technique to be able to handle most unfamiliar bells of familiar weight. We are looking for input on what other training people might wish to take part in: this could include bell handling if you feel that may be restricting your ringing progression. The aforementioned District Outing, superbly organised by Adrienne Sharp, was into Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire. There was a good turn-out and several complimented that the towers were far enough away to make it an outing but not so far that it wasn't worth coming for just some of the day if you could not make it all. At the start of June seven bands took part in the District Striking Contest at Stagsden.
