Pastoral Letter

What’s the biggest crowd you’ve ever been a part of? Perhaps it was in a sports stadium, or a rock festival, or a parade. For me I think it was at a Christian festival called Greenbelt, where one year there were thirty-five thousand of us taking Holy communion together in a big field! It’s exciting being part of a big crowd.

On the first Sunday of this month we’ll be remembering Palm Sunday, when Jesus rode into Jerusa- lem on a donkey just a week before his death and resurrection. Hundreds, maybe thousands of peo- ple were lining the streets, shouting and waving. Imagine the heat, the dust, the chaos, the children running around, the people selling food and drink… Imagine being one of Jesus’ followers – walk- ing in with him, seeing the crowd shouting and waving – a few years earlier they were fishermen, tax collectors, ordinary people. It must have felt like going to the Oscars on the arm of a famous film star!

The crowds were there not just for Jesus, but to offer the traditional welcome to pilgrims coming to Jerusalem for the Passover – that great Jewish celebration, remembering God’s goodness in rescuing them from slavery in Egypt. It was traditional to shout verses from the psalms as part of the wel- come –such as “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” Perhaps the crowd was bigger that year when they heard Jesus was coming – the famous prophet from the North that they’d all heard about. Perhaps some of them shouted these words at Jesus because knew they were prophecies about him, or perhaps just because it’s what they always shouted. Maybe some recog- nised who Jesus was, whilst most didn’t.

Certainly they can’t have known that less than a week later, their leaders would have persuaded that same crowd to shout for Jesus to be killed. They turned from welcome to hatred very easily. Be- cause they didn’t understand who they were welcoming! They didn’t know that this was the King, the Messiah, the one they’d all been waiting for. Even those who did know, like the disciples, were horrified by what happened a week later when Jesus was arrested and killed.

No-one there understood what Jesus had come to do – even though he’d told his followers plainly that he was going to Jerusalem to die. They didn’t know what it would mean to call him King. The disciples didn’t know what it would mean to be recognised as his friends and followers. But we do! We have a huge advantage over the first disciples – we know how the story ends. We know about Jesus’ death, and also about him rising again.

We know the whole story, so we can welcome the whole Jesus. We know the joy and excitement of Palm Sunday, but we also know how quickly the crowd will turn against him, that even his friends and followers will get scared and run away. We know he’ll be arrested, and tried, and die a terrible death. We know he’ll be buried and his friends will be lost and bewildered. But we also know that he’ll rise again and live forever – and that we can too!

We know what it means to call him King, and what it might cost us to follow him, to be known as his friends. So we can welcome him – not by shouting out things we don’t really understand, but recognising the cost of welcoming him as well as the excitement and glory. We can be with Jesus through the events of Holy Week, leading up to Good Friday and Easter, and reflect on everything that happened to him – not just the happy, jolly, exciting bits but the hard, frightening, painful bits

too. Perhaps we can follow the story day by day in our Bibles, reading from one of the Gospel ac- counts, or watching a film version of the life of Jesus.

We can welcome Jesus into our lives this Holy week – again or for the first time – the whole Jesus, the real Jesus – the things that scare us and the things that delight us. Let’s walk beside him as he rides into Jerusalem, and stay with him all week, through the garden of Gethsemene, to his trial and torture, to the foot of the cross, to the tomb, and at last to the glorious Easter morning of resurrection.

I have been offered and accepted the post of Rector of Holy Trinity with Trendlewood, in Nailsea. My appointment was announced in Hambledon, Busbridge and Nailsea churches on Sunday 22nd February.

On a personal level this is a big wrench for the whole family. Frances will be leaving a job at King Edward’s School that she adores and Joshua and Abigail will say goodbye to the home in which they were privileged to grow up. Our excitement and expectations are heavily tinged with a profound sense of grief and im- pending loss.

announced in the Queen's Birthday Honours list

for her voluntary services to Hambledon. The J whole village sends its congratulations to her for her much deserved award. Jane travelled to Bucking- ham Palace this week to receive her award.

The list of Jane's contributions to village life are numerous. She is clerk to the Parish Council; she was fundamental to the set ting up of the Ham- bledon Village Trust which now owns the freehold of the Village Shop; she walked 70kms in 70 hours aiming to raise £7k to help fund a re-fit of the shop and managed to raise in excess of £9.5k; she is an active member of many of the village clubs; the list goes on. Hambledon would surely be a less strong community if Jane Woolley wasn't a member.
