Hasn’t the countryside turned green, the result of all this rain! However, we are glad of the rain for our farming neighbours, and look forward to a good harvest. As I write this, after a sunny morning, it is raining again.

I visited Staunton Harrold Church recently and looked up at the stunning painted ceiling. It is titled Chaos to Order, referring to the ordering of the firmament by God in Creation, and the coming of Christ. It is quite unusual in its design, symbolic and dark, not as colourful as the ceiling in St Edmunds Fenny Bentley!

I had also recently read the article Chaos and Absurdity, reprinted here with permission, and wondered about that word CHAOS, coming up twice in one month. Chaos is in many places around us, and we, as humans, like to make sense of our surroundings, the world and our place within it. There are some ways we do that through church – through faith and hope. For example, bringing a child to be Christened, getting married; asking God’s blessing on a relationship; and at the time of death, a funeral in church or crematorium - All times when we search for meaning at special times of our lives. In the Peak Five Benefice we have quite a few of these services, relative for our population. That doesn’t mean we think your lives are any more chaotic than anyone else’s lives, but I wonder if it reflects our understanding of one of the ways to find order and purpose in life, through engaging with what the church has traditionally offered to help. Jesus knew that people needed help, and indeed, God the Father sent his Son to earth to help us with this. Jesus taught us the Lord’s Prayer too, giving us a time of stillness and chance to get closer to God to see the world from God’s point of view, in the way God wants us to live – and He should know what’s going to work as we believe he made us!

In each church there are resources to help with prayer, and so much online (if you have access to the internet). The main thing the churches offer is space, away from the chaos seen in the media, politics, our communities and at work. I offer the article Chaos and Absurdity for reflection, a pointer towards what we can each do in this time of chaos. We pray the following at funerals; a prayer for ourselves. I pray it for us all this summer that is may be a comfort to you. Support us, O Lord All the day long of this sometimes joyful, sometimes troublous life, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, The busy world is hushed, The fever of life is over, And our work is done. Then Lord, in your mercy grant us a safe lodging, a holy rest, and peace at the last; Through Christ our Lord. Amen

What does the word hospitality conjure up in your mind? Guests, visitors, meals and food? One definition of hospitality is “The friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers”. Yet, I wonder if hospitality is much more than just entertaining guests? In the ancient world of the bible, hospitality was not merely a question of good manners and entertaining guests, it was a moral institution and a way of life.

So what are the top ten most hospitable countries in the world? One list has them as Thailand, Ireland, Portugal, India, Mexico, Bhutan, Bosnia, Scotland, South Africa, and finally New Zealand. Where’s England you might ask? Well, this was the top ten so we don’t know….but what I do know is that Fawlty Towers might have had something to do with our ranking…all those people across the world thinking that Fawlty Towers is typical English hospitality!

Whatever country we’re from, one well known writer and theologian, Henri Nouwen, says this about hospitality: "If there is any concept worth restoring to its original depth and evocative potential, it is the concept of hospitality"

I recently spoke at a church about the hospitality of God in the gospel of Luke. I was struck by the many encounters that Jesus has with people that are marginalised and isolated in their community. Jesus, over and over again is welcomed as a guest by people that are often despised and ostracized. The story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19 offers a paradigm for hospitality in a notably clear way. Zacchaeus, a tax collector working for the Roman Empire, welcomes Jesus and invites him to his home to eat, and then discovers that he is welcomed and drawn into the hospitality of God.

The giving and receiving of hospitality is a wonderful way to experience the much wider hospitality and welcome of God. I wonder if there’s anyone you know that you could welcome or call and show them that you care? It could be a friend or family member you’ve not spoken to for some time or someone in your village or church, or someone who struggling at this time. What seems clear in the gospel of Luke is that hospitality creates the space in which life and transformation is found and experienced. Every blessing,

Rev’d Alan

Dear Neighbours. I read this article in the magazine Countryway which just seemed to speak into our situation here in the Peak Five, and particularly the process of Planning that Thorpe is doing as a village community with Rev Alan, and that we as a Benefice are working on looking to the future of the rural church. I hope you find it stimulating. I’d be happy if you wanted to talk about it – let me know. Rev Carollyn

From chaos and absurdity…

‘God has rescued us from chaos and absurdity and called us into the life of his kingdom.’

Setting God’s People Free (churchofengland.org/SGPF)

Earlier this year the US government experienced the longest period of shutdown in its history in a fight over a border wall costing billions of dollars. At the same time Brexit was dominating the political agenda in the UK. And a picture of an egg got 25 million ‘likes’ on Instagram. If ever there was chaos and absurdity, we seem to be living in a world which both revels in and generates it.

If as Christians we acknowledge that God has rescued us from chaos and absurdity, what does it mean to pursue a Christian vocation in the world and how does that relate practically to how we live out faith? What does it mean for mission and what does it mean for rural mission especially?

Present reality

First, I think it’s clear that, despite God’s rescue, chaos and absurdity have not been done away with. A quick glance at the news tells us of the desperate, messy state of the world and the terrible consequences for human beings, and yet living out our Christian vocation as all God’s people gives us a different perspective. We can recognise the absurdity more clearly because of the different life we are offered in Christ. The Kingdom of God isn’t just some nice vision but actually an alternate reality, something to model, live into and make real for others. Its justice, peace, fellowship and love of neighbour is a counterweight to the crazy stuff.

So answering the call to live in God’s economy is fiercely prophetic: the determination to live like this and not like that. In practical terms, it means (to paraphrase London Underground) to see it, say it, and sort it. We are all called to see where the world is messed up, where people’s lives are in chaos, and to show the better way by doing whatever little we can to make things more ordered and sensible. That call looks different for different people: working for a charity, lobbying for justice, or even standing for Parliament; helping with gardening, offering some babysitting to exhausted parents, walking someone’s dogs or picking up litter in the village.

Contributing to God’s kingdom

Secondly, to be rescued from chaos and absurdity is to give a different kind of meaning, value and purpose to human life and its ultimate destiny. It isn’t just that being a Jesus-follower makes us see God’s world differently, but we can come to see that everything we do in the world of work, home, school, farm or community has a richness of meaning which is invaluable to God’s kingdom. That is a very important part of living out our vocation as Christian disciples, knowing that, whatever our contribution to God’s kingdom, large or small, God invests love in it and finds it ‘good’.

We do not have to fill up our lives with trivia or froth to conceal emptiness, but we can find real purpose which adds value to our families, our communities, our churches and our world, all the things we pray for at church on a Sunday. And that means that we don’t just carry out tasks or functions, but that we can seek to invest what we do with creativity, with constant pointers to God’s reality.

So perhaps that means remembering colleagues and co-workers in prayer, making a bit of time in a busy day to be a listening ear, considering the ethics of the things we add to our shopping basket, showing those around us that making time for God or engaging with Scripture really does add a different dimension to the everyday round of tasks.

Live the life…of the Kingdom of God

Thirdly, our Christian calling is into the life of the Kingdom of God. We know from all that Jesus tells us about it that the kingdom inflates massively from tiny things that are begun and nurtured in us and by us in obedience to God. The entire Christian community, clergy and congregations, works together in disparate but complementary callings to create more of the kingdom reality around us. We don’t have to be warrior evangelists, martyrs, saints or perpetually overflowing in the Spirit, just sure that the things we do – prayer, reading the Bible, work, raising families, supporting our villages and towns in their community action – really are what we are called to do according to our gifts and opportunities.

Why is this mission? Because everything we are and do as Christians living out our callings writes a small part of the larger story of God in Jesus over the chaos and absurdity that still daunts us. Every day, we can add new colour and vibrancy to the story of what God is doing in the countryside and within our towns and villages. When we live out our faith day by day we ‘make sense’ for ourselves and for others and create a ‘common sense’ for human living and interdependence. By doing so, we resist the influx of chaos and put God-values in its place. We reject selfishness and self-indulgence in favour of mutuality and care for others.

Set free to live out our many various vocations in Christ gives us compassion and a desire for justice. And sometimes, out of the absurdity comes something that makes sense, that points to a serious God-desired reality. Remember that most-liked egg? It turned out to be a conversation starter aiming to explore issues around mental health and social media.*

If you would like to contribute towards a shared gift for Fr John please send a cheque made payable to PJ Guest c/o the above address Bible study July 2019 Journeying with Jonah

In June I spent a week at the Northumbria Community, where we studied the Book of Jonah with Norman and Ingrid Cummings. There was an unexpected continuity, following the wonderful Well Dressing at the Hall Well Tissington this year – the theme discovered long after I had booked this holiday! I could imagine the huge tail of the fish disappearing down the well, as I sat by the sea on Lindisfarne.

The Book is short, but too long to print here, so I hope you can find a Bible and look it up – just a couple of Bible pages long. If not, please borrow a pew Bible from church (from the end of the pews, if your church has them) or get in touch, I can find you one. You can look online too – www.Biblegateway.com is a good website to start off with.

Here are some questions to get you started.

Read the Book, and enjoy the adventure, watching how Jonah feels and acts. Are there significant thoughts, comments or insights that you notice? Which part of the journey of Jonah might you be in now? When you are ready, move from reflection to prayer.

Have you found something about God that evokes praise? (Adoration)

Is there something about which to give thanks? (Thanksgiving)

Is there something for which to seek forgiveness? (Confession)

Has the story brought to mind needs – in yourself or others? (Intercession)

Is there something you resolve to do? (Commitment)

If you are feeling creative, you might want to read again Jonah’s Lament – the poem which incorporates verses from Psalms and Scripture, with original words from Jonah. You might like to create your own psalm, pouring out what is in your heart. Ponder your work and listen to what it is telling you about your own relationship with God, and where you are on your journey of faith.

A Prayer – Journey with me Lord, as you journeyed with your hard- hearted, fearful, reluctant, self-centered, beloved servant Jonah. Burst through the walls of our hard hearts. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Reflections on stained glass windows

The first of a series of articles - St Edmunds, Fenny Bentley.

I think it is striking that in the East window (the window always over the altar is East) there are four women from the Bible depicted with Jesus, and the words ‘Blessed are the pure in heart’, as Jesus welcomes children to him. Isn’t it wonderful that nearly every week in term time, we do welcome the children from Fitzherbert Church of England Primary School to church on a Monday morning – to start their week with songs, prayer, a story and celebration of achievements if there are certificates to hand out. I love it when the grass is dry enough to walk over the footpath from school.

The four women are all called Mary – Mary Cleophas, Mary the Blessed Virgin, Mary Magdalene and Mary Salome. All very different characters with different histories and roles in the life of the Bible, and all with an example and message for us, men and women.

You can find Mary Salome in Mark chapters 15 and 16. Mary Jesus’ mother features many times in the Gospels, and remembered in the church year at festivals; the Annunciation when she becomes pregnant by the Holy Spirit, Christmas when her baby is born – the Messiah, when she misses Jesus during their pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and many times during Jesus’ ministry. She is there with him when he dies on the cross; all times many mothers can identify with, hardship, pain and suffering alongside the joy or rearing children. Mary Magdalene also is in that part of Jesus’ death, and also in Luke chapter 8 where her own testimony of healing that brought her to Christ is told. Mary Cleophas might be one of the couple who met Jesus on the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus hearing the story from Old to New Testament from the mouth of Jesus himself, and who is also listed as one of the women at the foot of the cross in John 19.

Some of the windows in St Edmunds were installed in memory of beloved wives, at their death. I pray that these inspire married couples to cherish and honour their wives in life. The example of these women can give us all inspiration to worship and honour God, through His Son Jesus Christ, to follow Him in our own lives, and to be aware of our many blessings. And, the colours, shapes and form are so vibrant, clear and long lasting, they might inspire us to continue to care for our church and churchyard, perhaps even create new art works, and to welcome visitors who are seeking history, a quiet space for prayer, or meaning in their lives. Rev Carollyn Group Community Fire Safety: July – August 2019

Dear all, I hope you are all enjoying our summer and hopefully, the weather getting better.

Farm Fires.

Farm fires can be prevented by taking simple and effective measures and precautions:

• Maintain farm machinery in good working order, especially when coming out of storage, ensure that it is free from grease, straw and hay. • Control smoking and work areas associated with welding/blow lamps etc • Hay and straw should be removed from the fields as soon as possible after harvesting and stored, taking care to ensure that it is dry to prevent spontaneous combustion which is a common cause in stacked and baled crops. • Hay and straw should be stored separately from other buildings particularly those housing fuels, agrochemicals and farm machinery. The stacks should be a reasonable size at least 10 metres apart, separate from livestock housing. Care should also be taken to ensure that stacks are not too close to roof lighting. • Petrol, diesel and other fuels should be stored in secure areas, with storage tank outlets padlocked. • Fertilizers and pesticides should be stored securely and have the correct signage, (as required under the Dangerous Substances, notification and marking of sites Regulations 1990) there is also a requirement to inform the fire service if you store over 25 tonnes. • Annual Electrical Safety checks should be carried out. • We advise that an assessment should be made of farm security paying attention to lighting, fencing and locks. • We also recommend that any firefighting equipment should be maintained and in good working order. • Check and maintain open water supplies that could be utilised for firefighting. Can access be gained to these by the Fire & Rescue Service? • Escape routes and passages should be kept free from any stored materials or equipment at all times. • Ensure that everyone knows, if they do not have a mobile phone or the signal is weak, where the nearest phone is located and how to call the emergency services. • If a fire is discovered call 999 and give the full address of the premises, giving directions and sending someone to the farm entrance to direct the fire service.

➢ We advise people to make a note of the Post Code to their properties and if in a remote location the Grid Reference. This will be vital if you need assistance. • To prevent the risk of Arson we suggest that a good standard of security is maintained for all outbuildings, repair or replace any damaged fencing /gates. • Consider installing intruder sensor and security lighting. • Prevent easy access to fuel and chemical storage areas. • Dogs and geese give an early warning of any intruders.

In addition to consideration of these simple precautions, you may be required to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment under the ‘The Fire Safety Order 2005’. The primary Fire Safety legislation in England and Wales is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 which came into force in October 2006. It replaced all the existing fire safety legislation and impacts on all employers, owners, occupiers and self-employed businesses.

There are very few exceptions from having to comply with the new regulations. This legislation applies to farm buildings. Farm owners and managers are generally seen under the Order as being the Responsible Person with whom the duty resides to ensure adequate fire safety provisions are in place.

The Order requires a Fire Safety Risk Assessment be carried out which should, if done properly, ensure preventative and protective measures are adopted to minimise the potential for fire. It firmly places the responsibility for all fire safety matters with not only the employer or manager, but also the owner of a building (who may not be the employer) and the employees.

Water safety.

During the summer months unfortunately people and children get into difficulty when being tempted to cool off in rivers, lakes, gravel pits and the sea. Here is some guidance.

To keep yourself safe, when you are in, on or beside water:

Always follow the Water Safety Code.

• Spot the dangers Water may look safe, but it can be dangerous. Learn to spot and keep away from dangers. You may swim well in a warm indoor pool, but that does not mean that you will be able to swim in cold water.

The dangers of water include: • Very cold temperatures. • Hidden Currents Fast flowing water. • Beware of locks and weirs Deep water, it can be difficult to estimate the depth. • There may be hidden rubbish or debris under the surface that can trap, snag or cut It can be difficult to get out, banks can be steep, slimy and crumble away. • No lifeguards, most outdoors waterways do not have lifeguards. • Water pollution may make you ill. • Where possible you should swim at a swimming pool or beach where a lifeguard is present. • When this is not possible look out for special flags, on beaches, and notices, on inland waterways, which will tell you what to do.

Home Fire Safety.

I cannot express enough the importance as always, to • ‘Test those Smoke Detectors’. • Ensure you have a Fire Escape Plan in place to ensure you and your family and guests can get out safely. • Think of any difficulties people may have getting out and any help they may need, such as a torch to light their way or a stair rail. ▪ Consider the best place to go if the worst happens and someone can't escape, especially if they have trouble moving around or can't get downstairs on their own. ▪ Nominate someone in your home (perhaps a child) to be the 'Escape champ' - Regularly role-play escape routes and give children the responsibility to keep escape routes clear.

If you require any further advice on any of the items covered in this article please call the Fire & Rescue Service on 01773 305305

Keep safe, my regards to you all.

FITZHERBERT SCHOOL NEWS – JUNE 2019

Our children have been taking part in a number of sporting events this half term. Our Year 5 and 6 children went to a Cyclocross event at Darley Dale. Cyclocross is cycling with a difference – the children used modified bikes to go on different courses, over bumps and rough terrain and around really tight corners! They had the whole morning to learn and practise and then 6 pupils were selected to stay and represent the school in a competition with other schools. They did amazingly well and were placed 5th overall but then went on to be crowned ‘Spirit of the Games’ Champions because they had shown commitment, determination and an almighty team spirit! We are very proud of them all.

Our Key Stage 2 children have been busy practicing their end of year school play which is all about World War 2. We were very fortunate that one of our parents was able to come into school to show some of the WW2 memorabilia that they had collected. The children were fascinated to see a lamp used by air raid wardens, tin hats, a telephone which can do Morse code as well as examples of the uniforms – which we couldn’t resist dressing up in! There will be a dress rehearsal of our School Play on Monday 8th July at 10am, everyone is welcome.

Everyone is invited to attend our Leaver’s Service on Monday 15th July in Church at 2.30pm and our Celebration Assembly in School on Tuesday 16th July at 9.00pm.

The School will be hosting a summer activity camp during the summer holidays, this will be held over 3 days – 6/7/8 August the cost is £18 per day or £45 for all 3 days. This is open to all children aged 4-11 including those starting school in September, and not just those attending FitzHerbert School. Booking is essential, please contact the school to book places.

FREDA KINDER 1932-2019

Freda was born on 31st October, 1932 at Grange Cottage Cubley (near Darley Moor). Her parents were Tom (a farm labourer for the Beech family) and Lucy Kinder. Freda was the fourth of five children – with siblings the late Stanley, Phyllis, the late Gladys, and Sheila.

Freda attended Edlaston School. The family moved to Mellow Meadows at Bradbourne in 1939, when the Beech family moved to White Meadows Farm, Bradbourne.

On leaving school Freda went to work at Tattons Mill in Mayfield as a textile worker, following Phyllis and Gladys. She worked there until her early retirement due to a back injury.

In 1955 the family all moved to Japonica House in Parwich which enjoyed an enviable location overlooking the Village Green and Dam. They’d moved there due to her father Tom moving to work at Ballidon quarry following the death of Mr Beech.

In 1970 Freda and Sheila, along with their mother and father, moved to Shaw Lane in Parwich, into a cottage inherited from Freda’s great uncle Albert Beresford.

Then in 1989 Freda moved to Smithy Court in Parwich. In around 2008 Sheila temporarily moved in with Freda who nursed her to recovery from double pneumonia, which soon became a permanent arrangement. This then led to them moving to Shakespeare Court in Ashbourne, where Freda lived until her passing. This of course meant leaving behind many good friends in the village.

You will remember Freda as a larger than life character. She was both strong willed and a free spirit with a great sense of fun. She was an “in control” person, you knew where you stood with her, there was no ambiguity. Yet she devoted much of her life taking care of her family, particularly Sheila.

Without doubt she would have been one of the ‘characters’ at Tattons, and was a highly skilled worker, eventually working as a Warper, one of the most skilled roles in the mill.

Freda loved her holidays and went every year for most of her life with a varying combination of work colleagues, friends from Parwich and relatives. The last few years Freda and Sheila rented a holiday cottage in Parwich for Wakes Week, to enjoy the festivities and meet many old friends from the village

She also loved to entertain, following in her mother’s footsteps, with house parties at Christmas, Wakes week and other family occasions.

Unfortunately Freda suffered from diabetes for the last 30 years or so of her life, but managed it incredibly well due to her strong character and self-discipline, strictly controlling her diet and meals.

She was also very practical, able to undertake many very skilled crafts and hobbies, also enjoying jigsaws, gardening, and photography.

Due to growing up on a farm, Ian only had three childhood holidays. But he remembers that it was Freda who took him to Great Yarmouth with his mother Phyllis when he was 5, and again when he was 10. Ian will always remember having an aunt who could do cartwheels on request along the promenade, much to the amazement and envy of the other children who were staying in the hotel!

The third holiday was flying to the Isle of Man with Freda at the age of 11, and it was without doubt one of the highlights of his childhood. While they were there she took great delight in shocking some of the very superstitious locals with her birthday on 31st October – Halloween night!

Ian loved all his aunts – but Auntie Freda was the fun one.

Freda’s niece Gillian can remember Freda taking her to the fun fair at the Wakes and winning her a goldfish – something she became rather good at over the years, and also going on all of the various rides with her.

She also took Gillian on holiday to the Isle of Man on a separate occasion. She also remembers Freda as her ‘fun aunt’ too.

COFFEE MORNINGS

We had a very pleasant Coffee Morning on June 19th. Quite a few people were able to come along, including the couple who run the B & B at Station House near the Tissington Trail.

Gillie Lister brought along a few ‘therapy mats’ which she makes for children with Special needs and also grownups with Dementia Each one was very different using small pieces of fabric, elastic, very large buttons, small zips and knitted pieces; lots of texture and interest and all washable.

They have been very successful for both children and adults and great for the carers.

The charity to benefit from our donations was Ashbourne Community First Responders and a total of £45.00 was donated and a cheque has been sent to the charity. Thank you all so much.

A thank you letter has not yet been received from the British Red Cross which does excellent work throughout the world and to whom we donated £45.00 from our May Coffee Morning.

Future Dates: July 17th and August 21st both Wednesdays in the Village Hall as usual between 10.30 am and 12 noon. The charity to benefit from any donations on July 17th will be Guide Dogs for the Blind. Rob and Angi Jackson will be coming with their two dogs Waldo and Benson to talk with us about the work of Guide Dogs and in August the charity will be Hearing Dogs for the Deaf.

Thorpe Village Hall: the next chapter

A new trustee group, chaired by local resident Jayne Morgan, has been formed to manage our precious village hall.

Our huge gratitude is offered to retiring trustees Andrew & Barbara Wager and Bob Evans for their many years of service as members of the former management committee.

Beyond the necessary financial, legal and maintenance responsibilities for the hall, the trustees are anxious to secure a good future for it. The first and vital step was to survey the village residents on what they want the village hall to be used for in supporting our community, thereby allowing us to build a plan to encourage better use of the venue both within the village and by way of attracting outside interest.

The hall is in need of some urgent repairs and a mid-term renovation. Consequently, we are unable to take new bookings at this time prior to the completion of repair work, which we hope can be made over the coming months.

Thorpe village hall is literally in ‘the heart of the village’ and we look forward to the next chapter in its history.

Thorpe Village Hall Trustees (Beverly Bock, Dave Bone, Cyril Challinor, Sarah Clark, Louise Frith, David Froggatt, Clarke Lomas, David Morgan, Jayne Morgan, Rachel Tallon).
