THURSTONLAND PARISH NEWS March - April 2021 THURSTONLAND PARISH NEWS March - April 2021 “For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.” (William Wordsworth 1807) David Lister NIGEL GOODY MASTER CRAFTSMAN BESPOKE DRY STONE WALLER PICTURE FRAMING For all your dry stone Prints, Posters, Paintings walling requirements and Illustrations Free estimates on all work which includes insurance.

Maybe it is because the story of being human in inexorably linked to sacrificial love? Or for those who truly believe is it because of a need at some conscious level for hope to abound? Are the events of Lent, Holy Week and Easter a continued dramatisation of our own reality, succinctly shoed into a six week period which begins on Ash Wednesday and runs up to Easter day. Ash Wednesday is of course the day on which the palms are burnt and made into Ash to be used later in the day by the priest to sign the people with. The cross that was first signed at a persons Baptism on their forehead is re- traced and the words used are powerful reminders of our mortality and the reason that we are mortal: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ.” Those who receive such a sign are often overcome (at least inwardly) by the powerful symbolism at work in this simple drama. Being spiritual is something that I think all human beings are. That’s not to say everyone is a church or mosque goer, or signs up to a particular credo. Being spiritual is about how our lives are animated by that which is greater than our- selves. That which inspires us and moves us. People often talk about the one- ness they feel in nature, at the birth of child through a piece of music etc... you will have your own examples… But I note that our spirituality is often most at the fore when we are being nourished, lifted, challenged and nurtured. Jesus set out on a journey which ultimately brought him from the countryside into the city. A metropolis teaming with life. Jerusalem was under Roman rule and for the many people who were not Roman citizens life was difficult. There were many compromises and alliances in that first century world. Those who were most unhappy with the authorities wanted Jesus to be a certain kind of 3 Messiah one who would take up arms and overcome the imperial powers. Yet Jesus’ way was a different way to all those other messianic figures that came before him. Jesus took the way of love and was ready to place himself in the position of being the servant of all. [Mark 9:35] And so Holy Week begins with Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem where we encounter human nature at both it very worst, a crowd baying for blood and at its very best a group of friends sharing a meal together. Betrayal and murder of an innocent follow and so the story moves to the cross on which a man is murdered at the hand of those wicked imperial powers. Both evangelists Mark and Matthew tell us that Jesus ‘gave his life as a ransom for many’. Which means Jesus took upon himself the sin of the world, that includes my sin in order that a new kind of freedom would become available to all. Every re-enactment of the meal Jesus shared with his friends asserts that: “Jesus died, Jesus is risen and that Jesus will come again.” That meal is known in the church by various names: Holy Communion, The Lord’s Supper or The Eucharist (which means thanksgiving). It is an act of participation a sacred moment of celebration. Every Eucharist moves the believer to Easter day, the day of resur- rection or of new life. The grave was unable to keep Jesus he rose from the dead so that we too might rise with him. These are simply the events which lead us to Easter Day and to each new day. At the centre of the whole of scripture lie these words: Deut 6:5 ‘Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.’ The Gospel of Luke 10:27 adds, ‘'Love your neighbour as yourself.'" Almost every act of Christian worship recalls these words… Every human-being has a story that can be understood and interpreted in dif- ferent ways—Maybe we all need a Messiah, or perhaps we are a messiah in our own way in our communities, places of work and homes when every we act out of a sense of love. Happy Easter Sean. 4 DEDICATION OF FLOWERS AT EASTER Last year, Easter fell just after the first Covid 19 lockdown, all places of worship had to close and we were unable to have the normal display of dedicated flowers. As I write, we are (hopefully) coming to the end of lockdown 3, but do not know if we will be able to open the church in time to hold our Service on Easter Day, which falls on 4th April 2021. The PCC have decided that this year we will have the display come what may, so I should like to share our thoughts with you. If we cannot open the church we intend to have an Easter garden on the Memorial lawn. People can dedicate flowers (but roses only this year) which will be displayed on the lawn with the Easter Cross. However, if the church can open, the dedicated flowers will be put into church. Unfortunately, because of the uncertainty, this year there will be no individual dedication plaques, but the framed plaque showing the name of the individual to whom the flowers are dedicated will be prepared as usual. In this way, our loved ones can be re- membered and, if it is necessary for the church to stay closed, the garden will be there for all to admire during Eastertide. We hope that these plans will be welcome even though things may be a little different this year. The roses (yellow/white) will cost £4 each and I shall need the numbers required and the names to whom they are dedicated (together with the appropriate payment) no later than Sat 27th March 2021, please. If you would like to make a dedication or require more information, my contact details are email – [email protected] text 07710588275 tel 01484 663123 or through my letterbox at 52 The Village, Thurstonland. I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter! Best wishes, Janet Wiltshire 5 STOCKSMOOR NEWS Verity & Ian Norton Terrace became a very romantic place on Satur- day 23rd January when Verity our friendly and helpful Post Lady had a wonderful sur- prise. Ian, Verity’s partner, chose Stocksmoor as the venue to Pop the Question. Maxine Morris’s photo caught the moment when Ian ‘did it with flowers.’ Congratulations to the happy couple and love and best wishes for the future. Competition Time. The Village Association is planning an Easter Competition. Families will be able to submit photos of their decorated eggs and collage designs. A flyer giving all the details will be posted to all houses in the village. Stocksmoor WI is running a monthly draw when one lucky member receives a flower arrangement created by Irene Miller. Lynne Kershaw continues to send information and the West Yorkshire News to members keeping them up-to-date with national and local news. 6 THURSTONLAND FIRST SCHOOL This term has been very different in school yet again! We welcomed all the children back for one day in January only to then have to close again to the majority of children form Tuesday January 5th. You might remember that last time the schools closed we grouped our key worker children and vulnerable children from the Federation together and accommodated them in one school building. Due to increased numbers of children requiring a place we have been unable to do that this time. Whilst we may use the term ‘closed’, schools are actually open and running pretty much as normal for the 40% plus who attend each day. All the other children are learning at home. Teachers are uploading work for them to complete and talking to them through Microsoft Teams. Every- one has adapted to this new way of working really well, the children of course take everything in their stride, and the teachers have had to learn some new skills pretty quickly! We have been extremely impressed with some of the work the children have done at home. This week in school we had a big focus on mental wellbeing, acknowledging that these are tricky times for everyone, that we can only do our best, and remember above all to be kind to everyone and considerate of other peoples situations. Many children both at home and in school made seed bird feeders or fat balls and enjoyed joining in with the RSPB Great Garden Bird Watch, spotting a good range of birds.

    Embargo No embargo required. Title The United Benefice of Kirkburton, All Hallows and Shelley, Emmanuel is excited to launch their Burial Ground Management System project - thanks to the support of the National Lottery • Public launch of the pilot project by Ven Dr Anne Dawtry • Wednesday 26 February 2020 at All Hallows and Thursday 27 February 2020 at Emmanuel - both at 10.30 am • Everyone welcome Main text Kirkburton, All Hallows and Shelley, Emmanuel, two churches near Huddersfield in the Anglican Diocese of Leeds, received a Sharing Heritage grant of £6,100 in March 2018 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund for the pilot project focused on their two churchyards. The reality of this project was made possible by money raised by National Lottery players. This innovative project involved pioneering research to develop the distinctive heritage of the two churchyards, and will add great value for the local and wider communities of all ages. It is the first project of its kind in the UK to go live! Genealogists, historians and interested parties will benefit greatly from easy online- access to search for information. Atlantic Geomatics (UK) Ltd digitally mapped the historic churchyards of Kirkburton and Shelley. Volunteers from the churches and local history group were trained to take high-quality photographs of approximately 6000 memorials, which are now linked directly to the memorial location on the map. The burial registers were scanned and the volunteers transcribed the text in the registers onto the portal, linking them to the images and map. This project in conjunction with existing information, benefits the conservation areas of both churchyards, in particular in All Hallows’ Churchyard which for many years has won the Green Flag Community Award.
