Golden Cap E-Magazine February 2021 Golden Cap E-Magazine February 2021 Aerial view of Marshwood Church by Marc Thurgood BETTISCOMBE, CATHERSTON LEWESTON, CHARMOUTH, CHIDEOCK, FISHPOND, HAWKCHURCH, LYME REGIS, MARSHWOOD, MONKTON WYLD, MORCOMBELAKE, WHITCHURCH CANONICORUM, WOOTTON FITZPAINE Letter from the Editor Welcome to the first edition of 2021. And we’re back to an e-mag! We might have passed the ‘New Year’ stage, but we have nonetheless plenty of looking forward in this issue. We’re all no doubt feeling rather tired of Lockdown Version 3, but there’s much going on to celebrate. Vaccines are well underway in the area, and some of the first to receive their jabs report on the experience here. There is some looking back at our somewhat unusual Christmas, and looking ahead to new ventures, such as the approaching arrival of the Syrian family in Uplyme as part of the Community Sponsorship programme: we look forward to hearing more. We have guidance and inspiration for reflection in the coming weeks from Rev’s Chris and Ginny, and Sue at Pilsdon. We congratulate all the members of the Pilsdon Community on their High Sheriff’s Community Award. The award was presented by High Sheriff of Dorset George Streatfield, who commented, ‘Everyone who lives and works at Pilsdon should be congratulated on the way that they are living through difficult times and Sue’s leadership has been a beacon of light through it all.’ We continue our hunt for a new Editor (or editing team!), as I step back this month from my temporary role - do get in touch if you’re interested or would like to find out more! 1 Journeying to our Heart Dear friends, Journeying to our Heart We hope 2021 will be very different to 2020, for all kinds of reasons. There are signs of hope. We still live in difficult times but vaccines are being rolled out, light is beginning to overrun the darkness and it will soon be springtime! In this hope, we want to begin the year by embarking on a project that will help us to (re)discover who we are and what God has already provided in the Golden Cap Benefice so together we can set some direction for the future. We are calling this project ‘Journeying to our Heart’ and it will be rolled out in the coming months in five stages: 1 Naming our Heart - a questionnaire for all of us - coming soon! 2 Telling our Heart Story - based on the questionnaire - who are we? Springtime 3 Uncovering what we have and making friends - finding out what God has already provided in our Benefice - Springtime and Summer 4 Setting Direction - based on all we’ve learnt so far and how God guides us through the journey - Late Summer time/Early Autumn 5 Reflection - so we can understand where we’ve been and what we’ve discovered - Autumn We are journeying to our heart because the heart is the symbolic place of meaning, where the deep things happen. So, it’s about us uncovering the deep things of God that are already here, uncovering what is God’s heart for this corner of God’s kingdom, what the rhythm of God’s heartbeat is for the 7,000 people who live here as well as the 20,000+ tourists who visit. It’s a journey of discovery, like a pilgrimage because we believe it’s God who is the initiator of mission; it’s God who is at work among us, both inside and outside the church; and it’s our job to discern where He is active and join in! As a well-known theologian says ‘It’s not the church of God that has a mission in the world; it’s the God of mission who has a church in the world!’ So, this project is about seeking to uncover what God is doing and what God has in store for us, rather than asking God to bless OUR plans. 2 Pilgrimage is such a good metaphor. Anyone who has ever walked a pilgrimage knows that it’s about the journey, not the destination. It’s about the travelling, not the arrival, because every step is an arrival of its own. BUT….the destination frames the journey. When you set out on the walk, it’s good to know that you are headed somewhere, and that there are paths to follow in getting there. It helps you to move forward purposefully and discerningly. And having the destination in mind enables you to track where you have come from, where you are now, and where you are headed to. Having a destination in mind helps you track your journey’s progress towards it. That’s what this work is about. It’s about uncovering the destination that God would have us walk towards on both ancient and new paths. So, what’s next? Stage 1: Uncovering/Naming our heart We start here this month, simply, with a short and engaging questionnaire called ‘(Re) Discovering our heart’ which you are all invited to complete, whether or not you attend church regularly. We would love as many people as possible from all our local communities to have a go at it. It will go out electronically but we can also do paper copies - if you want one, please ask Margaret. It’s easy to fill in. We know that many of us usually switch off at the word ‘questionnaire’ but this one is unlike anything you will have done before. Chris has already done it and loved it; it asks you about the feeling of the PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE of your church using a selection of images and three words of your choice. We hope that as many people as possible will complete it. This is a genuine process of discernment so we need your prayerful honesty. We will keep you informed and also give more details about the next stages, as the journey unfolds. Watch this space! We pray that 2021 will be a year in which we find our hope renewed with a sense of who we are and are becoming in service of God. Amen. With our very best wishes, Chris Ginny Team Rector Team Vicar The Small Things in Life Those of you who have been to my house will know that just inside my hallway I have always got a small flower arrangement made up of “bits” from my garden. Just before half term I renewed this arrangement as my daughter and family were coming. On taking it apart I found that twenty one of the “bits” had rooted themselves in the Oasis foam block. Really strong roots on really small plants! I transplanted them all. I don’t think my daughter would have believed me if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes. She took four of them home when she left. The photos are of the renewed arrangement and of the ones I transplanted. All are going begging! Betty Wood 3 Spotlight Well, here we are in 2021. How are you feeling? Relieved? Optimistic? Fearful? I have no doubt that there is a whole range of feelings being experienced by different people at this time. In 2020 there were many sad losses for family and friends, some through Covid and some through other illness. Many families were unable to meet with each other, there were no holidays and severe economic hardships. Yet through it all there emerged a remarkable human spirit of community, of charity, of kindness and of love for one’s neighbour and so many more acts of human interaction. No doubt that will continue into this year as hopefully things improve with the spread of vaccinations and, in due course, a recovery of our economy. At Christmas we of course missed the majority of our normal services and carol services. However, we did manage some worship over this period. So all is not lost. In St. John’s gospel many of you will be familiar with chapter one which is read every year during our Christmas worship. In particular, verses 4 and 5, ‘In Him was life and that life was the life of mankind. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has never mastered it.’ In these words lies our strength as we face the next twelve months. Because through the centuries that brought us war, plague, famine etc. the light has never been extinguished by the darkness. The human reaction in the past year as seen in our NHS staff and support services, our scientists, individual fundraisers such as Captain Tom and many more, does indeed show that the darkness will never overcome the light. A peaceful and healthy New Year to you all. Jim Pettifer LLM Christmas Eve at St Michael’s Church Despite the bother of having to set up a booking system, everything went smoothly for our 11pm Service. The candles were lit on all the windowsills which were decorated in a simple way with beautiful berried holly, ivy and poinsettias – these now surround our font. Usually at this service the church is packed with local people and their visitors and relatives. This year our gathering of 30 people and 1 child (plus a small choir – socially distanced) was mainly made up of people who don’t usually come to our church, plus some of our regular congregation. The atmosphere was really good with everyone being thrilled to be there to start their Christmas celebrations. Alex, our organist and choir master along with his wife Alison, had prepared some beautiful musical treats for us.

At the meeting on 17 July 2013, Cabinet deferred a final decision on subsidy levels in order to seek the views of parish and town councils on the impact of the preferred Option 3. Subsequent to the Cabinet meeting it was also decided to undertake public consultation through the Dorset For You online consultation portal. Responses received from the consultation exercise, along with revised proposals for Dorchester Town bus services to be changed in advance of the final plan were presented to Cabinet for the meeting on 6 November 2013. This report takes account of representations made through the various consultations and presents recommendations for: Core savings of £970,279 Reinstatement of routes £95,000 Transfer to Community Transport budget £25,000 TOTAL SAVINGS £850,279 Concerns were raised by Members and the public who attended the Cabinet meeting on 6 November 2013 and these have been addressed by this report.

  • Dorset & the Jurassic Coast
    Dorset & the Jurassic Coast Dorset, on the south coast of Britain is well worth a visit if you’re interested in beautiful landscapes and dramatic coastlines. Over half the county is designated ‘an area of outstanding beauty’ and three quarters of the coastline is classed as a world heritage site. There are no motorways in Dorset, so you will have time to take in the scenery as you meander through rolling hills and picture perfect villages. The coastline has many things to offer. From Chesil Beach, the 18 mile long stretch of pebbles that has protection for its wildlife, to the limestone arches of Durdle Dor, part of the Lulworth Estate. How about letting the kids search for fossils in the limestone cliffs near Lyme Regis or letting them run amok at Maiden Castle, an Iron Age hill fort near Dorchester or Corfe Castle on the Isle of Purbeck that was built by William the Conqueror. If you feel like a little nightlife, you could visit Bournemouth or Poole in the east of the County. Places to visit Corfe Castle One of Britain’s most iconic and evocative survivors of the English Civil War, partially demolished in 1646 by the Parliamentarians. Discover 1,000 years of our history as a royal palace and fortress.

  • “Local Walks from Weymouth”
    “ Local walks from Weymouth” Picture by Ron Glynn WELCOME TO OUR WALKS LOG, October 2017 to March 2020. When I started this log, my first job was to mark all our start points on my essential piece of equipment, the 1; 25000 OS map, OL 15, Purbeck and South Dorset. I was surprised and pleased to see how we had speckled the map, given that the venues were chosen mainly for free parking! But we had covered the area from west to east, with each venue leading to not only our walk(s) shown later but also to areas ripe for further exploration. So given that each walk is 2 ½ to 3 ½ miles or 4/5kms or 7/9000 steps and takes around 1 ½ hours what do you need to join in? Apart from boots/trainers, layered clothing, hat, stick and dog (if owned or borrowed!) your essential equipment is a map, as above, to which you can add modern adjuncts if you wish. NB: 1:25,000 means that roughly 2 inches on the map represents 1 mile on the ground. Each map is covered by a grid of 1 mile squares, on our map numbered 53 to 76 west to east and 73 to 95 south to north. (The map is double sided with Purbeck on the back). On our list of start points there are BOLD 6 figure numbers. These are GRID REFERENCES and from them you can find anywhere on the map. So, for example, the Heights Hotel, 5 in our list is 69 2 73 3, the 3rd and 6th numbers being points.
