If you would like to mark a special occasion by sponsoring the floodlighting of Denbury Church Tower please contact Mick Sutherland-Cook 01803 813 871. The symbols on it represent Love, Friendship and Loyalty – which made me go very misty eyed and I’ve been talking Colin Williams in memory about and wearing it ever since! I also reckon the symbolism of his late wife Monica fits very nicely the period between Christ’s death and resurrection, in an act of pure, unconditional love, and his Margaret Cooper in ascension into Heaven (marked on 30th May this year). Pity Memory of husband Graham the poor disciples left leaderless and terrified on Good Friday. Joseph Matthews in memory Within days they were in turn bewildered, disbelieving and finally overjoyed by the news that Jesus had returned. Then of wife his late wife Eileen – just as they were getting used to having their friend and mentor with them again, he goes once more. But the Love and MAY SPONSOR Loyalty he inspired in them drove this small Aramaic cult to spread the Good News throughout the known world – “even unto death”. Far from being the quiet time after Easter, it was the start of everything: the birth of the Church’s mission on earth. Love, Friendship and Loyalty… We’re starting May with a Café Church Service, to be held jointly with the Methodist Church at Ipplepen Village Hall (5th at 10am). The Service (like the Communion) is based around a meal, but much more informal. We’ll have a breakfast together with talks and songs and prayers – a gathering of friends, and friends-to-be. It’s different, yes, but very affirming. Come join us to break bread and worship together. Thank you to all those who supported the Lent Lunch in April. The simple meal was lovely, and we raised £125 for ART CLUB the HITS charity in Teignbridge. On the subject of food, the We started the month visualising ears and noses which Church will be running the Cake Stall again at the May Fayre, was fun with everyone creating some strong forms. this year.

Please contact us on 01803 812844 or email [email protected] DENZEL OF DENBURY . In and around 2019 Plant bedding plants outside after the frosts. Don’t plant out tender crops like tomatoes and marrows outside until after the frosts. Night temperatures can give crops a shock so use fleece and cloches to provide extra protection until June. Tie in new growth on blackberries, loganberries and other cane fruit. 16•17•18 MAY Draw soil up round potato shoots. Sow beans and sweetcorn directly outside from mid May onwards. Start feeding houseplants weekly. The following crops can be sown directly outside during May; beetroot, dwarf French beans, runner beans, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbages, cauliflowers, endive, fennel, kale, kohl rabi, lettuce and salad leaves, peas and mange tout, radishes, salsify, swede and turnips. Pinch out tips of bedding plants to make bushier plants and more flowers. Sow cosmos and quick growing summer bedding. Some ideas for not only recycling but saving money; Use empty toilet rolls to plant seeds, especially sweet peas as they like longer root systems. The cardboard will decompose. Cut the bottom half of a milk container and use as a pot, making holes in the bottom for water to escape. Egg boxes can be used to plant seeds and will then decompose. Cut up white/ pale coloured plastic bottles to make plant labels. Denzel Livestock Competitions
