COVER:- By the Ormesby Art Group - Original by 'Tomolo'(see p12) 1

From the Rectory, Revd Mandy writes about ….. Disagreeing Well - By the time you read this, we will have a new Prime Minister in No 10 or maybe he will have come and gone who knows! Let’s just rewind a little to May, I think it was around the 25th…….“I will shortly leave the job it has been the honour of my life to hold…I do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love.” The final words of Theresa May. Her voice broke at the end. It was clear how much this whole debacle has cost her personally. It’s easy to criticise and find fault…and I encourage you as Christians (or not) to pray for Mrs May and our new Prime Minister. Mrs May had strength of character, resilience and determination, but left office with a crushing sense of personal disappointment and failure. She gave her all, and tried her best, but so soon after being welcomed, she ran up against a total lack of willingness in those around her to compromise and find a way forward, to communicate respectfully although disagreeing. Mrs May tried, but in the end, it was not enough. She failed to find a compromise. Disagreeing well is hard, but not impossible. Any failure to disagree well will see both our politics and our relationships suffer as a result. Giving way, making more effort to open hearts and minds, learning to compromise and above all accepting we can disagree well takes humility. These things are at the heart of the values Jesus taught his listeners and we as a nation would do well to adopt them today. When we all demand our own ways from those who put themselves forward to serve us and lead us, we are in effect putting up barriers of resistance towards any outcome that may serve the common good. If we immediately publicly criticise those that seek to serve and lead us, if they fail to match up to the standards, we set them up to fail and crush them to the point of resignation. Seeking to be kind, honest, compassionate and committed to the truth, is what Jesus taught those who would listen. Today, apart from praying for an outcome that, all may not agree with, but which the majority of people in this country are willing to work on together, I will be praying that where there is a difference of opinion, people will endeavor to disagree well. I pray that God will strengthen the leaders who seek to serve our nation, with humility, and kindness, and those whom they serve adopt the same values. Amen Revd Mandy [email protected]

CHURCH NEWS A service of Blessing was conducted by Bishop Alan during which we gave thanks for the good things that have, and are, happening at St. George. The new porch roof was blessed along with the new ciborium for the communion wafers and the new alter linen. It was wonderful to see Rebecca's daughter Alice involved in the service carrying the candle and the refreshments after, as ever, were superb so a big thankyou to everyone who contributed. Also a big thank you to the Autumn Singers who came along to boost the vocals to make it a rousing occasion for Bishop Alan and to give thanks to God. St. George over recent years has grown and it is as though God has breathed new life into the church and congregation. Do come along and join in the services and enjoy the sociable side of the church family by staying behind for coffee afterwards. You will find the congregation very welcoming and friendly.

A reminder for those who can't regularly attend, Margaret is away for the next three months and so the services will be once fortnightly until October. Please check the dates to ensure that you are not disappointed by turning up to an empty church. (Photos by Rebecca Woods Newsight Photography) 3

PRAYER FOR AUGUST Lord God you have called your servants To ventures of which we cannot see the ending, By paths as yet untrodden, Through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, Not knowing where we go, But only that your hand is leading us And your love supporting us; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. From the Lutheran Book of Worship (1978)

Members of a local church discovered that the roof was leaking. The following Sunday morning the churchwarden stood up: “First of all, I want to apologise for the big drip in our pulpit this morning.” From a parish magazine: We are delighted to report that the choir raised £120 for the building fund during their recent sponsored sing. This included £10 for them not to do it again. Church notices in a evening newspaper: ‘A talk will be given on Evelyn Christenson’s classic devotional book, ‘What happens when women PREY.’ When a church in Manchester closed its doors for the last time, the denominational magazine informed its readers that this had sadly become necessary because of SWINDLING congregations.

PHOTOGRAPHY Caister Photography Club All Saints Parish Hall, Beach Road, Scratby, NR29 3AJ. We meet at 7-30pm every Wednesday and welcome anyone interested in photography, both beginners and professional. www.caisterphotographyclub.co.uk Camera School - Composition Composition is much more than the rule of thirds, although it plays an important part in composing an image. Imagine you’re walking through a wood, as in the image on the left. The image is ok and the rule of thirds observed with the tall tree on the right and the leaning one on the left, but it somehow lacks impact. If you’re with a colleague get them to walk ahead of you, just before they reach the shadow in the image take the shot again and then you will find it has much more impact. The image to the right indicates this perfectly, the focal point of the image, the light area at the end of the tunnel, is again on the third, but the image is made much more interesting by the three people and their shadows.

Three or any odd number is considered to be preferable to even numbers in a photograph. Compare the image of five friends enjoying a get together on the left with the two men on the right enjoying a chat. Which has more impact? I’ll leave you to judge.

This image of the pyramids shows a couple standing in front of them, but the girl and the car behind spoil the shot. If the photographer had waited a few seconds the car and the girl would have probably moved away.

In the image on the right, it looks as if the tree is growing out of the mothers head. If she and the child had moved slightly to their right it would not only have prevented this, but would have put them on the third instead of dead centre.

There are many excellent articles on the internet regarding composition, far more than I can cover in this article, I hope this helps in some small way, but remember “There are no rules for good photographs, only good photographs” (Ansel Adams) Good luck and enjoy your photography. Terry Stringer. 16

PART III - CHARLIE PETS/ANIMALS room to find my son Franklin grinning from ear to ear, and holding Cato. “Where on earth did he come from?” I asked. “He came out of the printer while I was typing on the computer.” Franklin informed me, laughing fit to burst. It seems that Cato had found himself a cozy dark place to sleep, and was only disturbed when Franklin had set the printer in motion.

There’s never a dull moment with snakes. You certainly can’t give them an inch of space, or like Cato they’ll go for an explore! I have to admit that it was me who didn’t close the tank properly one evening, which allowed Cato to escape. After turning three rooms upside down, Cato was nowhere to be seen. We assumed that he had got out into the garden, and given the winter temperature we feared the worst. With a sad heart I drove to Angel Aquatics (yes they sell other things too!) the following week and after much deliberation, chose a gorgeous (Grace with 'Dennis') bright orange corn snake that looked Both Cato and Charlie now happily remarkably like the much-missed share a tank, and I can honestly say Cato. that I cannot imagine our home For no particular reason Alice named without our beautiful and fascinating the new snake Charlie, and he quickly snakes. settled in to his new home.

WOMENS INSTITUTE

ROLLESBY & DISTRICT W.I. At the last meeting a self-taught local artist Cora Mullenger gave us a short demonstration and then it was over to us to express ourselves on paper! Everyone enjoyed themselves and found it very relaxing. There was a wonderful display on one of the side tables of the beautifully knitted baby jackets by some of the members for stillborn babies. They were so tiny and looked doll-sized but hopefully they will be appreciated by mourning families.
