October 2015 The Owmby Group of Parishes Magazine Volume 24 October 2015 Issue 7 Annual Memorial Service for The Owmby Group and Springline Parish This year the annual service at which we remember and pray for all those we love and miss will be held at St John the Baptist, Scampton at 7pm on Monday 2nd November. November 2nd is All Souls' Day, when we remember with thanksgiving before God those whom we have know personally who have died - our families and friends, those who have nurtured us in life and in faith. It follows directly after All Saints' Day, November 1St, when the Church celebrates men and women in whose lives the Church as a whole has seen the grace of God powerfully at work. The names of all those whose funerals have taken place in our parishes over the past year will be read out, and candles lit for them. Their families will be invited to this service. Everyone is welcome at this service. If you would like someone to be remembered in this way, no matter how long ago he or she died, please let me know in writing by 31st October. Names can be handed to me in person, posted to Garden House, Burton, Lincoln LN1 2RD, or e-mailed to [email protected] Italian Evening Saturday 28 November 2015 7.00pm for 7.30pm In the Village Hall at Hackthorn 3 courses for £6.00 (adult), or £4.00 (child under 12 years) (vegetarian option available - please advise when booking) For catering purposes please reserve your tickets before 24 November Tickets and further details available from Sue on 01673 860261 or Pam on 01673 861070 THANK YOU The September issue of Signpost was the last one to be printed by Mr Bill Kendall of The Print Room in Welton. Bill has now retired and Signpost is being printed by The Pelican Trust in Lincoln. The Committee of Signpost would like to thank Bill for all his support and help over the last 16 years in the printing and packaging of the magazine and in particular for his patience and understanding during a few months towards the end of last year when we had one or two problems. We wish Bill and his wife a long and happy retirement. http://owmbygroup.co.uk/signpost 2 Signpost FROM THE RECTOR “September so often feels like a time for new beginnings…” Dear Friends, You might recall these words, which appeared in the parish letter that my colleague, Julia Hepburn, prepared for the September issue. Julia wasn't to know this at the time of writing her letter but upon publication her words struck something of a chord with my family and I. As you may know, my wife, Katie, is due to embark on a new course of academic study this month, and having recently celebrated the third anniversary of our arrival in the parishes I too am now anticipating a totally unexpected new beginning: at the start of next month I will sadly be leaving the Springline Parish and Owmby Group to take up the role of Diocesan Communications Officer, a position that will be based at Edward King House in Lincoln. I am sure you will appreciate that a great deal of careful thought and prayerful discernment was involved in my application for this post, but I felt - and I feel - called to this opportunity to apply my ministerial (and pre-ordination publishing and radio) experience in helping the Diocese as a whole to develop disciples and achieve continued growth and development. [As part of this role I hope to be able to highlight the continued good work in our parishes.] I would like to think that you, like us, will have happy memories of our time with you here. As well as the joy of getting to know so many of you, we have been very grateful for your support, both prayerful and practical. For me, I will always cherish the beauty, peace and the opportunities to be found in our parishes. A particular memory for me is of my night spent in a stable for charity in December 2012; I really enjoyed - and I certainly benefited from - our Lenten walks across the parishes as preparation for Holy Week and Easter back in 2014; and it has been very good to welcome you into our home for coffee mornings and, this year, for breakfast following our outdoor service in Hackthorn as we greeted the dawn of Easter morning. In addition, I have been grateful to be invited to officiate at such special services as baptisms, weddings and funerals, and I have valued my time as a governor in two of our five primary schools, plus the opportunity to lead assemblies and spend time in class. We will be very sorry to say 'goodbye' to you when the time comes, at the beginning of next month, but we hope that, as I continue to pray for the life and ministry of our parishes here, so you will also hold us in your prayers and that you will all wish us well ahead of this new beginning. (Further details will follow with regard to arrangements for the interregnum.) So, thank you all again for your love, your welcome and your support over the past three years. I know that our ministry team, churchwardens, parochial church council members and congregations will continue to work hard to serve God and you all in our parishes, and my family and I have been grateful for our time in the Springline Parish and Owmby Group. With our love, prayers and best wishes, Adrian & Katie, and Beth, Thea and Owen.

By the time you read this we will have welcomed many people, from across the diocese, to the Saints in Every Generation event in the Cathedral. Two quite different occasions, but both a sign of our commitment to each other as members together of the family of God here in greater Lincolnshire. As you know, as a diocese we have committed ourselves to being faithful in worship, confident in discipleship and joyful in service. This year has seen the launch of our discipleship programme, aimed at helping all of us to think and pray about the particular and distinct contribution we can make to the life of the world and in response to God's call. One of the highlights of Saints in Every Generation was the opportunity for everyone present to pledge to do one thing, however large or small, which would take them further on their journey towards confident discipleship.

  • Resourcing Sustainable Church: a Time to Change - Together
    RESOURCING SUSTAINABLE CHURCH: A TIME TO CHANGE - TOGETHER Transforming lives in Greater Lincolnshire 1 Foreword from The Bishop of Lincoln Returning to Lincoln after almost two years’ absence gives me the opportunity to see and evaluate the progress that has been made to address the issues we face as a diocese. Many of the possibilities that are placed before you in this report were already under discussion in 2019. What this report, and the work that lies behind it, does is to put flesh on the bones. It gives us a diocese the opportunity to own up to and address the issues we face at this time. I am happy strongly to recommend this report. It comes with my full support and gratitude to those who have contributed so far. What it shows is that everything is possible if we trust in God and each other. Of course, this is only a first step in a process of development and change. Much as some of us, including me at times, might like to look back nostalgically to the past – the good news is that God is calling us into something new and exciting. What lies ahead will not be easy – as some hard decisions will need to be taken. But my advice is that there will never be a better opportunity to work together to uncover and build the Kingdom of God in Greater Lincolnshire. I urge the people of God in this diocese to join us on this journey. +Christopher Lincoln: Bishop of Lincoln 2 Introduction Resourcing Sustainable Church: A Time to Change - Together sets a vision for a transformed church.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • From the Vicar
    From the Vicar It is amazing how the seasons can change at the drop of a hat: one minute we are enjoying the remnants of summer, and then suddenly overnight there is a chill in the air, the car has to be wiped down for condensation in the mornings (for those of us without space in the garage, anyway!) and the first leaves are turning on the trees. Autumn and harvest have arrived. Never having experienced harvest out in the fens before, I am unsure of what to expect. All may be safely gathered in, but does that mean the endless fields will soon be brown, the sky a sullen grey and that mists will descend and remain here until the next equinox? I hope not! As I know from my first ever visit to Deeping last November, the landscape can seem pretty alien, especially after the cosy villages of the Wreake valley. But harvest is actually not so much about an ending of a season as about a turning point. This is the time when there is a slight lull, after the hard work of harvesting. The lull gives us a moment to give thanks for all the blessings we have received throughout the season, maybe throughout the whole year. To look with satisfaction on what has been achieved. And at this point we take a deep breath, let go of the old and prepare to embrace new growth. That is true both of agricultural workers and of the Church. Much has indeed been achieved through God’s grace and the sheer hard work of his labourers.

  • Bishop's July 2020 Letter
    The Bishops’ Office July 2020 Dear school communities, While it is not possible to ask each of you how you are, please know that we have prayed for our school communities, both pupils and teachers during this unusual and hard time. Our prayers have been for those in a classroom and also at home. In the past few months we have all had some questions and concerns - it is important that we always share these with others. Thankfully, we have also had people to keep us safe, people to care for us. We have seen that care can happen in many ways. Our message to you is about this word. Care is a word with four letters, so it is a small word but we need to remember that it has a big effect on people and can leave them smiling. As each of us cares for others we can show God's love. At first in lockdown a sign of caring was a rainbow often in a house window or a cuddly toy. Now, we may be able to show we care to more people. That may happen in our bubble of people or with a wave and a smile or helping someone with something bigger. To care is something we can all do in small ways. No matter how small when we care we are showing something that is big. We are showing God's love for each of us. A good example of caring are your teachers and school staff. They have cared for you and others throughout the lockdown.

How many times do we hear 'are we nearly there yet?' on a long journey or in the run up to Christmas? And not just from children! It is always good to know how much further there is to go and how long it will take. Wouldn't it be great to shut our eyes, click our fingers and be immediately transported to our destination, thus avoiding delays at the airport, road works, train hold ups, and a myriad of other interruptions. Those oft inevitable delays that make the journey more of a chore. And yet…. It is the journey that helps us really prepare for the final destination. Without it we won't get to wherever it is we want to get to! It is not just the travelling but all the preparations before and on the journey that deserve attention as we anticipate the excitement as the day dawns which marks the end point of our journey.

  • The Bishops' Office
    The Bishops’ Office 28 May 2021 Dear Colleagues, This letter comes with greetings for Trinity Sunday. As we leave the great series of seasons that began with Advent and enter Ordinary Time, this seems an opportune moment to clarify our hopes for the rest of 2021 and into 2022 with respect to Resourcing Sustainable Church (RSC). This is because our implementation of RSC has to be part of our ‘ordinary’ mission and ministry from now on. We wrote earlier in the month more generally about RSC. This letter is to focus on some specifics and comes with a link to the full RSC document and with a shorter introductory guide that might be helpful for your congregations. Diocesan Synod has commended the following Resourcing Sustainable Church processes: 1 Church Type self-reflection. Starting in June 2021 and through the summer until September, every church community is invited to reflect on its strengths, opportunities, concerns and weaknesses. Resources will be offered to help with this, but a basic initial framework can be found in the full RSC document beginning at page 26. This is a vocational conversation for each church, which will help every parish to take part in what happens next. The conversation/reflection can be led by the incumbent or by delegated officers/ministers such as church wardens. The full RSC report can be found at https://www.lincoln.anglican.org/links 2 Identifying and building partnerships. Beginning in September 2021 and (if necessary) lasting until autumn 2022, churches, benefices, deaneries and groupings of deaneries (Deanery Partnerships) will discuss how to identify and build patterns of collaboration.
