THE PARISH PAPER St THE PARISH PAPER St. Mary the Virgin, Payhembury Vol 49 No 12 June 2017 THIS MONTH’S EDITOR: Kate Duggan 07968 369159 NEXT MONTH’S EDITOR: Victoria Lincoln 07967 313035 ADVERTISING: Ceri Deane 01884 277321 EDITORIAL EMAIL ADDRESS [email protected] ADVERTISING EMAIL ADDRESS [email protected] 01404 851401 Reverend Cate Edmonds [email protected] The Rectory www.efpchurch.org.uk Station Road Feniton Dear Friends, By the time that you are reading this I expect Ascension Day has passed, 25th May. The day we celebrate the risen Jesus Christ leaving Earth, ascending, to join God our Father in Heaven. Last year and again this year there is a prayer initiative entitled Thy Kingdom Come, a line from the Lord’s Prayer. Christians all around the world, this year especially, are called to form a wave of prayer between Ascension Day (25th May) to Pentecost (June 4th), the day we celebrate the Holy Spirit descending on the disciples to give them the power to continue Jesus’ work on Earth. There are a range of activities happening in our local churches. In the churches of Escot, Feniton and Payhembury there are cards on each church gate which people may use for a prayer walk around the churchyards. Our church yards are beautiful places, lovingly cared for by loyal bands of volunteers, to whom we are indebted. They are places where people come to remember or pay respect to loved ones who have died or just places to sit and be quiet and reflect on the beauty of creation. I do hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to visit our church yards. Other activities around this time will be a regular emailing of those interested of a daily prayer and refection; individual prayer cards available in churches for daily prayer; and on Ascension Day our Year 5 children are taking part in a very special Ascension Day activity at Ottery Church. There will be an Ascension Day service at 7.30pm at Escot Church, as well as Pentecost celebrations in each church at the usual times on June 4th. The culmination of Pentecost will be a special service in the Cathedral at 6.30pm on 4th June, where some of the prayer activities etc will be displayed and our local prayers taken to the cathedral. All are welcome to this service. Why, you may ask, is this happening? It is hoped that this world wide wave of prayer will inspire people across the world to reflect, to think about faith, but also bring hope and even peace for a time across our rather distressed world. On a personal note, I hope that through our communities we will feel an even greater sense of community spirit and you never know we may see some very interesting things happening. If you have time please take part in some way and, you never know, we may feel a wave of peace pass among us.

Marjorie W Tea and Bingo Report — May A happy gang of nine people played bingo in May, with two people playing cards for those who couldn’t make it – although some were luckier than others with the prizes! Apparently I owe the shop an apology as I did not mean to suggest their cakes aren’t good – in fact they are lovely – but that it was lazy of me to buy a cake instead of make one. This time I did make one and as usual Marjorie brought a lovely one too. There is plenty of room now we are accommodated so nicely at the pub, so do join us or just pop in to any meeting. Our next meeting is on: Wed 7th June, 2.15pm in the Six Bells As usual, if you need a lift or have any questions, call Marjorie (841110) or Sue (841103). Do you have an event to publicise, or some news to share? Email: [email protected] by the 18th. 5 The University of the Third Age: ‘Learn, Laugh & Live’ For our meeting on Wednesday 21st June the talk is entitled ‘Beetle Wings & Pop-ups’ and we will be welcoming our speaker Robin Wootton, Honorary Research Fellow of Exeter University, who will explain how fans, origami, pop up books and beetle wings have helped in the spectacular development of many man made folding structures. Venue: The Beehive Centre, Dowell St., Honiton Doors open 1.30pm for a 2pm start Members Free and Visitors welcome (suggested donation of £2.00) Further information: 01404 598008 Website: http://u3asites.org.uk/honiton Saturday 10th June, Singing Workshop, 10am to 4pm in the Parish Hall Misbehavin' Jazz in the evening from 7.30pm, licensed bar All proceeds to Payhembury Church All singers, whatever your experience!

This unique exhibition touches every aspect of the Hills, through geology and prehistory, to the establishment of its grand country mansions.
