What makes a priest different from any other Christian? On one level there are no differences. Both ordained and lay Christians work for the coming of the Kingdom of God, and that work is done through prayer, through study of the Bible, and through living a life striving to be patterned on Christ's life. What is it then that is different about being a priest? The list of things we are charged to do, read at the ordination service is long, and quite daunting. It does not just outline what are to do, but also what we are to be - shepherds, stewards, servants, watchmen, messengers. We are called to "give ourselves wholly to His service". But still I know that many of you have very busy lives, and that the list you are called to do will be just as long, and perhaps just as varied. The difference about being a priest is that you live with an awareness of incompleteness I feel unmatched by any other profession. The responsibility you carry, the name in which you work is one to which you never add up. And it takes a level of self-awareness, a level of utter honesty to deal with that sense of incompleteness, of partiality about the work we do. You very rarely see anything come to a close. It’s part of the point of being a Christian that things never stand still, but you do yearn sometimes for that sense of completion. For people who like to achieve, learning how not to, and how to remain complete within that, and being able to give all to God, is a day-to-day, constant process. Living the vulnerability that is required for a life of honesty, of integrity, and of incompleteness is both very liberating and very draining. But I should add of course, that living the vulnerable life opens so many people to you. And while you may never know and see that you have changed and moved people, it does happen, often utterly unexpectedly - and, sometimes many years later someone will say - do you remember when you said...well I changed my life because of that. A priest is ultimately the most privileged person. While the demands of priesthood are many, the rewards are so great. (And of course, we really only do work one day a week after all....) Rev’d Lydia ST NICHOLAS CHURCH SATURDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER IN THE ORCHARD, SEVILLE HOUSE, UPPER STREET CIDER, BARBECUE, LIVE MUSIC, EVERYBODY WELCOME WATCH OUT FOR POSTERS! 4 5 6 YOUR CHURCH Just an update on the practical issues in and around the church. Firstly, the new boiler has been installed, we are just waiting for the manufacturer to run a test and we will be ready for the colder weather. The church clock will be repaired during August; the dial removed and work carried out to free the spindles coming through the tower wall. The dial will be repainted whilst we are at it. Lastly, we have finally carried out repairs to the lime plaster work and painting at the back of the church and we would like to thank Greg Saunders of The Hollow, Child Okeford, who has offered his expertise and skills as a gift to the church. A lot is going on in the churchyard which Simon Baird is very excited about and I am sure Simon won't mind me reminding our parishioners that we could do with some more help with mowing. We held a very successful fete at the beginning of July. Huge thanks must go to Judith and Andrew Hussey for hosting the fete in their beautiful garden and thanks must go to all those who helped and took part on the day itself. The weather was perfect, and we raised some much needed money towards church funds. Thank you too to all those who came to our fete and supported us. We are hugely grateful to you all! Finally, we have 3 weddings in August at St Nicholas. We pray and hope that the weather will be kind and that all 3 couple have a day to remember. We wish them all the best! BELL ALERT! Thursday 8 August 1200-1300: visiting band of young ringers Saturday 24 August 1900-2100: Dorset County Association practice ST NICHOLAS WIVES' GROUP There will be no meeting in the Village Hall in August: we will enjoy a cream tea instead! Usual date, Wednesday, August 14th, at 9, Knotts Close, starting at 2.30pm. There will be a raffle with proceeds going to a cancer charity. Husbands welcome. Maureen Soward – 860647 GORDON ADAM Gordon lived in Child Okeford for many years, before moving to Shroton. He always put others and his family before himself, he was kind and very brave man. When they came to Child Okeford he started the Auctions for Blandford Hospital, then went on and started opening two charity shops one in Sturminster Newton and one in Blandford Forum making hundreds of pounds.

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.
