Luke 2:10 2 Thought for the month Joy to the World! There are certainly many circumstances in the world around us that are joy-less, but Christmas can serve to remind us that with an attitude of love for our fellow humans we could make the world a better place – a joy-full one. The whole of creation sings out with joy at the coming of the one who will save souls and offer an eternal existence with the Creator who, above all else, loves us. The carol says: ‘(God) rules the world with truth and grace…and wonders of his love’. The message of One of my favourite Christmas carols, Christmas truly is all about love, and if by far, is ‘Joy to the World’ – for me it we could get to a place of love amongst sums up what Christmas is all about. peoples we would know a deeper joy. ‘Joy!’. The word in itself is not used Pastor and Author Rick Warren says: much in everyday language – it means “Joy is the settled assurance that God is a feeling of delight, great pleasure and in control of all the details of my life, jubilation. Although it is, of course, the quiet confidence that ultimately about being happy – it is beyond happy, everything is going to be alright, and the joy goes deeper and isn’t dependent on determined choice to praise God in external factors. every situation”. It’s such a shame that Christmas In this carol we sing ‘Let every heart makes so many people stressed or prepare him room’ – praising with a anxious, whether they be unable to good Christmas carol opens our hearts afford all the material things involved, to make room for God to bring in or the season reminds them of a lost peace, comfort and joy. loved one, or the indulgence of the I wish you all joy this Christmas, and festivities puts a burden of temptation if you want to join me and others from on recovery from an addiction. our community in singing ‘Joy to the Such a shame, because this season is World’ and other carols then do come all about joy. Something the disciple to our Carol Service on John wrote in the Bible sums up why Sunday 22nd Jesus came as that baby, which we December celebrate at Christmas, he wrote: ‘God at 6.30pm. loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes will not perish but have eternal life.’ Knowing ourselves to be loved this much brings a sense of joy our Rev’d Carol circumstances can’t take away.

BECKENHAM COPERS COPE & KANGLEY BRIDGE Character The introduction of the railway in mid-Victorian times saw Beckenham develop from a small village into a town on the edge of suburbia. The majority of dwellings in the area are Victorian with some 1940’s and 50’s flats and houses. On the whole houses tend to have fair sized gardens; however, where there are smaller dwellings and flatted developments there is a lack of available off-street parking. During the later part of the 20th century a significant number of Victorian villas were converted or replaced by modern blocks of flats or housing. Ten conservation areas have been established to help preserve and enhance the appearance of the area reflecting the historic character of the area.

  • The Owl Prowl Continues!
    The Owl Prowl Continues! Report of Pilot Survey A tawny owl survey was carried out this autumn in the London Borough of Bromley under the leadership of Bromley Biodiversity Partnership, in particular by Bill Whitaker of the OFC. 59 records were submitted by 33 people from many parts of the borough. Tawny owls were recorded in about 17 areas: High Elms & the Cudham Valley, Darrick Wood area, Marvels & Elmstead Woods, between Elmstead Wood and Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground, between Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground & Chislehurst Golf Course, Chislehurst Golf Course itself, Old Hill/Lubbock Road area, Chislehurst, Sundridge Park, Kemnal Road, Chislehurst, the St Pauls Cray Road area, Hawkwood Estate/Petts Wood, Scadbury Park, Hayes, near Bromley South, Kelsey Park, Beckenham, Crofton Woods and south of Biggin Hill. The records clearly show recording effort, with no records for several areas where owls are very likely to be present such as West Wickham and Keston Commons and hardly any records for areas of open countryside to the south and east of the borough where fewer people live. The almost complete lack of records from these areas and the peripheral wards of LBB to the east, south east, south and south west are also likely to be due in part to the fact that we were unable to communicate effectively with residents in these areas before the survey commenced. Within the larger areas where recordings were submitted there are probably several tawny owl territories, for example within High Elms Country Park and along the Cudham Valley. In well populated areas, for example within Chislehurst, there is likely to be some duplication of records, but the large number of tawny owl records for Chislehurst and its surroundings (Chislehurst Common, Chislehurst Golf Course, Petts Wood, Scadbury Park, Elmstead and Marvels Wood, Sundridge Park and Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground, together with gardens between), may also reflect the importance of good connectivity between areas rich in biodiversity within an urban area.
