Over the past months, we have all become more used to paying for things without using cash. I, for one, hardly have any cash in the house any more. The editorial committee will shortly need to be putting labels on envelopes for payment for 2021, and we think it is possible that many more of you would now prefer to pay by BACS. If you would like to do so, these are the bank details: Account name: The Parish Magazine Sort code : 20-98-07 Account no. 70690732 If you would like to do so, please could you give the payment a reference of your surname and village eg Waterfall Marlesford. Also, please could you notify Kaye Dawe if you live in Parham or Hacheston ([email protected]) or Nan Waterfall if you are in Campsea Ashe or Marlesford ([email protected]) that you are intending to pay this way. This will help us massively in our organisation of envelopes. Many thanks, Kaye and Nan 1 From Revd Graham Hedger Comfort and Joy is the theme of this year’s Christmas services. If ever we needed that sense of comfort and joy it is now. Throughout this year many people have faced illness and death in their families, without being able to support one another as they would have liked. Yes, many have been able to communicate with one another through modern technology using FaceTime, Zoom and WhatsApp, but little comes close to human touch and companionship. Touch, communication, and humanity are an essential part of the Christmas story. One New Testament writer put it, ‘long ago God spoke in many different ways to our ancestors through the prophets, (in visions, dreams and even face to face), telling them little by little of his plans. But now in these days he has spoken to us through his Son.’ This year, more than ever we will endeavour in varied ways to bring the Christmas message to life. Even though we can’t sing in church or at outdoor services, we can sing on Zoom and we can reflect on the words of well-known carols as music is played in church. We have several special services planned. The circumstances are different, but the essential message remains the same, one that brings comfort and hope. Jesus came into this world to point us to God and to be the bridge between humanity and God, that you and I could encounter God in a new and living way. At each step of the journey through life, God can be alongside us. That is a message that brings comfort and joy. At the time of writing we are in a national lockdown that is due to end at the beginning of December. If that is the case, then we will hold services in churches throughout December. If the government continues the lockdown then we may not be able to do that. As the situation becomes clearer, we will cascade information out through village networks. The Revd. Wendy Gourlay, who prepares our Taizé services will be recording services for December and these will be available via YouTube. To find out more go to the Mid-Loes benefice website and go to Cretingham church. It is with sadness that we report the death of Liz Wilson and Malcolm MacNicol. Liz for many years was churchwarden at Hacheston and led the project to rehang the bells. Malcolm was organist at Parham and, despite retiring several years ago, continued to play the organ. Their contribution to the life of the church and village communities was immense and will be greatly missed. 2 DECEMBER SERVICES (subject to government regulation) December 6th 9.30 * Zoom Morning Service * 11.00 Holy Communion Easton 9th 10.00 Holy Communion (BCP) Hacheston 13th 9.30 * Zoom Morning Service * 11.00 Holy Communion Hacheston 11.00 Morning Prayer (BCP) Parham 6.30 Evening Prayer (BCP) Kettleburgh ** Zoom Morning Service ** 20th 9.30 (Christingle) 11.00 Holy Communion Marlesford 23rd 10.00 Holy Communion (BCP) Hacheston 24th CHRISTMAS EVE 4pm *** Carols with a difference *** Marlesford 6.30pm * Zoom Carol service * 11.00pm Holy Communion Brandeston 25th CHRISTMAS DAY 11.00 All age service for Christmas Day Kettleburgh 10.00 All age service for Christmas Day Parham 9.30 All age service for Christmas Day Campsea Ashe 11.00 Holy Communion Easton 27th 9.30 * Zoom Service with carols * 11.00 Holy Communion Brandeston * For all zoom services contact Bill Clark - [email protected] ** For more details please see page 16. *** For more details see page 14.

You may notice some workmen in the churchyard over the next few weeks as, thanks to everyone’s generosity, our Treasurer’s prudence and Malcolm Robinson’s stalwart help in dealing with grant aid bodies we are now in the position to give the go- ahead to start the repairs necessary for the south west buttress and window. At the same time the lantern over the main door will be taken down, a necessary precaution as the arms are rusting. Until we get the “all clear” to open up for services once more we shall continue to open the church every Wednesday from 10-4 for private prayer. Kaye Dawe Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day. With services in church not permitted during the Second Lockdown it was only possible to have a Zoom service at 9.30am on Remembrance Sunday (November 8th). Sadly, we could also not ring on half- muffled bells as we traditionally would because of the need to maintain social distancing. In these circumstances the Suffolk Guild of Ringers had suggested a single ringer tolling the Tenor bell would be appropriate as a mark of respect. Therefore, following the Zoom service, the Hacheston Tenor was tolled at 10.30am prior to the televised national Act of Remembrance at 11am. It was tolled 75 times to mark the 75 years since the end of World War 2. Armistice Day (November 11th) happened to fall on a Wednesday this year, so Hacheston church was open for private prayer and the Tenor was again tolled in the same way. The names of the fallen on the Hacheston war memorial were also read out. David Clough 4 HACHESTON HAPPENINGS continued News from Garnetts The Cheese and Pie Man will be parked at Garnetts Gardens with his mobile shop every Friday between 10.00am and 4.00pm.

As of tonight (20th November) William has completed 65km of his 75km target, and raised an amazing £969.00 for the British Legion! He is looking to complete the distance by the end of the month and has even said he may do more than 75km if he has the chance. We are immensely proud of him, and the money he has raised for the British Legion is just incredible. a big thank you must go to all those who have donated. Thank you so much for your support, and the support from the whole community.
