On Sunday June 30th Karen will celebrate her first Eucharist at Child Okeford at 10.30am. A first Eucharist is a very special occasion in the life of an ordained minister – please come and support Karen in this joyous occasion. (NB the only other service that morning will be a service of Matins at Shillingstone at 10.30am.) On Sunday 30th in the evening there will be a healing service at 6.30pm at Child Okeford. These are beautiful and peaceful services which bring a balm to the soul. We pray for the troubled areas of the world, and those parts of our lives and our community’s life that need prayerful healing. The ministry of healing is offered at this service for those who wish to partake. Date muddle My sincere apologies for putting the wrong date out last month for the Manston Fete. It is on Saturday 6th July and promises to be a fun family afternoon. (July 7th is the anniversary of my ordination to the priesthood – 22 years ago!) Rev’d Lydia BENEFICE QUIET DAY Okeford Benefice Quiet Day on 17th August 2019 Join us at the Shillingstone Church Centre on 17th August from 10am until 3pm for a Quiet Day of reflection, prayer, fellowship, silence and a shared meal. The Day will be based around The Dream of the Rood, a beautiful Anglo Saxon poem. The poem is one of the finest religious poems in the English language. It is the earliest known dream poem in which the unknown poet beholds a beautiful tree – the rood, or cross, on which Christ died. The rood tells him its own wonderful story. The Quiet Day will give plenty of opportunity for quiet reflection and silence as well as shared sessions based around the poem. Bring a friend and enjoy the opportunity to spend a day away from the busyness of everyday life. Refreshments and lunch will be provided. There is no cost to attend this Quiet Day. Please contact Revd Karen on 01258 861051 for more details or to book your place. 4 TIME When as a child I laughed and wept, Time crept. When as a youth I dreamed and talked, Time walked. When I became a full-grown man, Time ran. And later, as I older grew, Time flew. Soon I shall find, while travelling on, Time gone. Will Christ have saved my soul by then? Amen There are several versions of this little rhyme, one of which is inscribed on a clock in Chester cathedral. I am at the ‘Time flew’ stage of life, and wonder, as we enter June, why Christmas was only last week. The Christian year rolls round inexorably, and this year I was in Worcester for Easter. We had intended to spend the Triduum (Maundy Thursday to Easter Day) attending the services in the cathedral there. As we sat in on a rehearsal for the Foot Washing liturgy, I thought the person leading it looked familiar – maybe a little rounder, certainly a little greyer, but surely it was…could it be? He caught my eye, and I saw the same ‘is it her?’ look. The following day as we met face to face, we enjoyed a hug of recognition. Many of you will remember Michael Brierley, once a pale young curate, serving his title in the Okeford Benefice, some 20 years ago. Now he is the Reverend Doctor Canon Michael Brierley, Precentor of Worcester Cathedral! What a long way he has travelled since the time we shared a Dawn Eucharist on Hambledon Hill one far-off Easter Day! By the time this is being read, the 40 day Easter period will have passed, with the glorious celebration of Christ’s Ascension and return to his heavenly Father at the end of May, and we shall be preparing for Pentecost, the sending of the Holy Spirit upon those first believers. How that Spirit of unity and love is needed in our nation today, not least among our political leaders! June of course sees the longest day – and then it’s all downhill till Christmas! Time will have moved relentlessly onwards. Do you know a prayer poem by Michel Quoist called, ‘Lord, I have time’? It’s worth googling, I promise you. From complaining ‘Lord, you must have made a big mistake in your calculations…The hours are too short, the days are too short, our lives are too short’ Quoist eventually concludes, ‘I am not asking you tonight, Lord, for time to do this and then that, but your grace to do conscientiously, in the time that you have given me, what you want me to do.’ My best wishes to you all Sue Rawlinson COFFEE MORNING At THE COMMUNITY CENTRE, CHILD OKEFORD on SATURDAY 15 JUNE 2019 AT 10.30 AM ALL WELCOME – COME AND JOIN US! BOOKS, PRESERVES, FABRIC FOR SALE 5 YOUR CHURCH First of all, many apologies for advertising our coffee morning being in the Community Centre in May. This was a mistake. As we had re-introduced Gift Day, we chose to have our coffee morning in church once more. Many thanks to those who came and particularly many thanks to those who gave very generously in the spirit of Gift Day. We are still waiting for the new boiler to be installed but are confident that it will be in situ before we need heating again next winter. The work on the church clock is in hand. When scaffolding goes up you will know things are about to happen! Coming up over the next few weeks and months are the Pilgrimage Week at the beginning of June and the church fete which will be held at the Old Rectory, Manston by kind permission of Andrew and Judith Hussey, on Saturday July 6th. This year’s Pilgrimage begins on Tuesday 4th June with a service at St Mary’s Stalbridge followed by a day’s walk to Stourton Caundle, stopping for lunch kindly provided at the Old Rectory, Stock Gaylard. Programmes are in all the churches in the deanery with details of each day’s events. It is always a good week, a chance to get some exercise, join in with worship, catch up with friends made in previous years’ Pilgrimages, and the chance to make new friends. Our Fete this year promises to be a good event, with plenty of interest for all not the least of which will be yummy teas with lots of lovely home made cakes. We do hope that there will be a good attendance! 6 7 PURPOSE MADE JOINERY Hopefield' Doors, Windows, Wardrobes, Kitchens etc The Hollow NIGEL BASTABLE LTD Child Okeford Quality Carpentry & Joinery Tel: 01258-860459 Property Alterations and Repairs www.nigelbastable.co.uk www.rjclocks.co.uk Antique clock restoration All manner of restoration work undertaken From clocks, music boxes, barometers, small items of furniture to scientific instruments.

Useful Contacts 1 HAMMOON MANOR Firstly, a very big WELCOME to Hammoon Manor and we are sure that you will have a wonderfully relaxing, and peaceful stay with us. Hammoon, sounds so strange to the English ear that one can be forgiven to thinking that it is a small village in the central provinces of India! As it happens, Hammoon Manor was originally gifted to Thomas de Mohun of Moyon in Normandy following his support of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Moyon being a bit of a mouthful for Dorset folk anglicised it over the centuries from the ‘Ham of Moyon’ to ‘Hammoon’. Perfect sense when you think about it. The Manor House as you see it today has changed little over the centuries except for the addition of a few farm buildings’ here and there. And has been described ‘as one of the most picturesque houses in Dorset’. Hammoon Manor Barn where you are staying formed part of the original manor farmyard. In 2019, we converted the barns to luxury holiday accommodation and created courtyard gardens where there had previously been hard standing. We were thrilled with the results – we hope you are! As you probably know you are in the heart of the Blackmore Vale and of course the heart of Thomas Hardy Country.

  • Hammoon House Hammoon, Dorset DT10
    Hammoon House Hammoon, Dorset DT10 A 19th century hunting lodge with coach house in 18.9 acres bordering the River Stour. Situation Hammoon House has an idyllic setting overlooking the water meadows bordering the River Stour on the edge of the tiny village of Hammoon, which is itself surrounded by the unspoilt countryside of the Blackmore Vale. Because of its small size the village only has a church but is close to the small market town of Sturminster Newton (3.4 miles), which has a selection of shops and local businesses to meet every day needs. The house is also within easy reach of the larger town of Gillingham (8.9 miles), which has a Waitrose supermarket and a railway station providing a regular service to Waterloo (2 hours). For other transport links the A303 (11.7 miles), Bournemouth International Airport (25.6 miles) and Castle Cary (20.5 miles), which has a fast rail service to Paddington (90 minutes), are all within a reasonable driving distance. The local area is especially renowned for its wide choice of excellent schools from both the state and independent sectors. From the independent sector these include Knighton House, Bryanston, Milton Abbey, the Sherborne and Bruton schools, Hazelgrove and Milborne Port. Sturminster Newton 3.4 miles, Gillingham 8.9 miles (Waterloo 2 hours), A303 11.7 miles, Castle Cary station 20.5 miles (Paddington 90 minutes), Bournemouth Airport 25.6 miles.
