Wednesday 4 June am sure the name Stephen Sutton will seem at 11am I familiar to you even if you can’t place why! at St George’s Church, Stephen was a remarkable young man with a hunger for life, and Langton Matravers an incredibly positive attitude through the very hardest of situ- Parents and carers welcome ations. At the age of fifteen Stephen was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Sadly it took a long time for the diagnosis to be made meaning that little could be done for Stephen. Yes, there was anger at the situation, and conviction that things The Dubber is the could have been very different, but rather than spend his energies mouthpiece of the Parishes blaming and complaining, Stephen chose to make the remainder of the Purbeck Hills of his life a positive and rewarding experience, not just for himself but to the advantage of others. He drew up a Bucket List of things St James’, Kingston St George’s, Langton Matravers to do before he died. The remarkable thing was that virtually eve- St Nicholas of Myra, rything on that list was for the good of others. He dedicated himself Worth Matravers to raising funds and awareness of teen cancer. He was courageous with Harmans Cross in the way he embraced his goals, and as his life touched others his The Chapel of St Aldhelm’s Head passion for living and making a difference became infectious. Not all of us are able to embrace life and death in the same Priest-in-charge way as Stephen, but it is so refreshing to be drawn into such a The Reverend Gaynor Burrett positive story in the midst of the world’s troubles. Stephen’s life was The Rectory inspirational. He chose to do the best that he could in the worst of St George’s Close situations, and his positive attitude, I am sure, will determine how Langton Matravers many other young people choose to live their lives. Swanage, BH19 3HZ Stephen set out to raise £10,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust. By (01929 421179 his death on 14 May 2014 the total raised with gift aid was four 8 [email protected] million. Incredible achievement as that is, I can’t help but wonder Parish Secretary whether the attitude he shared with others will not be an even Anne Meadows (01929 426544 greater legacy. Stephen’s example encourages us to see that it is not what life deals us that has to define our thinking and living, but Churchwardens more how we deal with the life and death that are ours. It is always Langton Matravers down to our choice. Stephen’s story has certainly challenged me Chris Meadows (01929 426544 to try to live every moment to its fullest and to make the most of Worth Matravers every situation I am given.
