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

We wish Bill and his wife a long and happy retirement.

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.

BISHOP OF LINCOLN'S LETTER Dear friends, I am writing this letter to you just after our first diocesan synod meeting of a new triennium, held early in September. 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. I would like to thank everyone who attended and assure you that I will read each of the pledges you so faithfully gave. This time of year is often associated with new beginnings, and that is certainly the case in the life of the diocese this year. I am delighted that we will soon be welcoming the Reverend Mark Steadman as the next Archdeacon of Stow and Lindsey. Mark will be installed at evensong in the Cathedral on 10th October. All are most welcome to attend. If you would like to do so, please let the precentor's office know so that everyone can be welcomed and accommodated (01522 561632). Later in the year, we will welcome the Reverend Dr Nicholas Chamberlain among us as suffragan bishop of Grantham. I've written elsewhere of my belief that Dr Chamberlain brings fabulous gifts, a truly pastoral heart, a profound faith and indefatigable dedication to the mission and purpose of the Church. I am gratified that we have been able to attract a priest of his calibre to be bishop of Grantham, and I ask you to hold him in your prayers as he prepares for his ordination to the episcopate on 19 November. Alongside this, there is also a significant farewell to be said as Tim Barker prepares to leave the diocese after 17 years of faithful service as parish priest and then archdeacon. As Tim moves to his new post of Dean of Guernsey and Rector of St André de la Pommaraye later in the autumn, he and Judy will go with our love blessings and a huge debt of gratitude for all that they have given to the diocese. With every good wish

+Christopher Lincoln: Autumn Mischief Autumn mischief roams our land turning greens to Gold's and reds Gale force winds add to the mix, leafs ripped from Trees sent to bed The frost as if by command enters the fray, leaving Trees as if dead Summer’s warmth now to our memory must be sent. Autumn leafs are shed Cleaning up gets under way our compost bins now full, less said! This must go on even through this dramatic change new life is fed So enjoy the autumn mischief write it down so with others it is read.

We all have lots of lovely memories of the many activities that took place during the summer holiday, and are now planning ahead to the Half term break. This will include some Hallowe’en inspired activities. Based at the new school hall at Welton St Mary's Academy, we are open term time Monday to Friday:- Breakfast club 7.30am to 9am (£4) and Afterschool club 3.30pm to 6.30pm (£7.10). Holiday club starts on Friday 23rd October and runs until Friday 30th October. Prices for holiday club are: full days - £23.00, morning session (7.30am to 1pm - £11.00) and afternoon session (1pm to 6.30pm-£12.00). We offer a 10% discount for a second child. We serve breakfast, mid-morning snack (holiday club) and an afternoon snack. We can cater for allergies within our menus. If you would like to book a place or would like more information for Welton Kids Club please ring 07748 432428 (7.30 am to 6.30 pm) or call Roxy on 07824 762779 out of hours. Information can also be found on our website - weltonkidsclub.co.uk Maria Wass - Manager 8 Signpost HACKTHORN & COLD HANWORTH HACKTHORN C. OF E. PRIMARY SCHOOL Here at Hackthorn, there's always a reason to look forward to coming back to school after the holidays and this year was no exception, as Mrs Appleby had arranged for quite a few changes and improvements around the school. The Key Stage 2 classroom has had a major makeover with some very sleek and practical storage replacing the eclectic mix of antique cupboards. The school also now has an extra room, thanks to some very creative thinking on the part of staff and governors, which provides a much better space for teaching small groups etc. The big surprise was saved for the parents who attended the first 'good works' assembly of the school year. Everyone was thrilled and delighted when the reception class (at their own request) stood up in front of everyone and sang the new counting song that they had learned. To have already gained the confidence to do that on what was only their seventh day they had been at school, was something truly remarkable! If you think you'd like to come and join us in September 2016, or if you know any parents of pre-school children coming up to foundation stage age who might be interested then tell them about our Autumn Craft afternoon for pre-schoolers on 20th October from 1:30 until 2:30 pm. We see an afternoon like this as a way of enabling parents to make a more informed choice about their child's education. These afternoons are always very exciting and enjoyable and places are limited, so please ring to book beforehand. We will be holding our Harvest Festival Service on 16th October at 2pm in the village church when the children will be offering their traditional harvest donations. You are welcome to attend. Contact the school on 01673 860295 to arrange a visit, request a School Brochure or you can contact us via the website www.hackthorn.lincs.sch.uk
