Dr. Ian Mills Dear Friends, When we arrived at the Rectory back in April we were immediately met with cards and bunting bearing greetings from children in Winford and Chew Stoke schools. These touch- ing messages made us feel so welcome, as did the cards and gifts which we received from so many people. Children have such a special and important place within our communities. As the end of the school year approaches, our thoughts turn to them, their parents, their families and their teachers as they prepare to enjoy a well-deserved break. When the bell rings for the final time at the end of this Summer Term, it will signal the end of a school year which has been like no other. Lessons have been disrupted by lockdowns; parents and guardians have had to step up as teachers at home; teachers have had to deal with last-minute changes and come up with new and innovative ways to deliver the curriculum on-line and safely in the classroom. Many important aspects of school life have been and remain suspended. Our children have not been able to sing together in choirs. For a time sport was disrupted, and school trips cancelled. Throughout all this our children have shown enormous courage and resilience as they faced months without seeing their friends. So, the end of this exceptional school year is a time to acknowledge all the disruption and upset which has been forced upon our children and their teachers, but also to give thanks and affirm them for overcoming so many hurdles along the way. Our Lord Jesus recognised the importance of children. In fact, Christ told his followers that they could not be part of God’s Kingdom unless they became like children. By this he didn’t mean acting with naivety or immaturity, but with a childlike innocence, curiosity and trust. Children at the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry were very much at the bottom of the social ladder—most definitely encouraged to be seen but not heard! But in the eyes of Jesus they were and are the most important, dearly loved by him and by God. When we read these passages in the gospel, we are reminded that the way God sees the world is not the way we see it. In God’s Kingdom the seemingly least important are held in the highest esteem. Those who are suffering, lonely, bereaved and anxious are closest to his heart. As we give thanks to God for our children and their schools, we remember every- one in our communities for whom this has been a difficult year. And as we pray with thanksgiving for all that has been achieved and overcome—and for the safety of our young people during the holidays—we pray also that God will give us the ability to hear those invisible, struggling voices in our communities as the most important. As we do so we begin to see the world around us as it was created to be.
