Around the world on Candlemass Day February 2nd
In the United States, Candlemas coincides with Groundhog Day, the day on which, according to the Germans, the Groundhog peeps out of his winter quarters and if he sees his shadow he pops back for another six weeks nap, but if the day be cloudy he remains out, as the weather is to be moderate. Tenerife (Spain), Is the day of the Virgin of Candelaria (Saint Patron of the Canary Islands).
In France it is La Chandeleur. "If February 2nd is clear, no more winter to fear; if the Chandeleur is overcast, forty days winter to last.

A letter to the Churches John Thompstone, an ‘interim’ Vicar in the Winchcombe benefice writes:
The sort of place our churches should be
I recently received a copy of this prayer from Lanercost Priory in Cumbria – If this is not a place where my spirits can take wing Where do I fly? If this is not a place where tears are understood Where can I go to cry? If this is not a place where my questions can be asked Where do I go to seek? If this is not a place where my feelings can be heard Where do I go to speak? If this is not a place where you’ll accept me as I am, Where do I go to be? If this is not a place where I can try to learn and grow, Where can I just be me?
So often we attend church with a wide variety of needs and emotions – which the service hardly seems to touch. Of course, a church can be a peaceful and quiet place to which we can resort, by ourselves. Yet, the ministry of the Body of Christ (which is what the Church is) should, I believe – Sunday by Sunday – touch our spirits: be unafraid of our tears: share our questioning: accept us as we are: and provide the context for spiritual learning and growth. For anybody who is not otherwise engaged on Sunday morning, 9th March, (at 10.30 a.m.) we shall seek to de- velop this at Childswickham Church, when friends of mine from West Yorkshire will share with us how this concept is worked out in their own church. It can be a sign of God’s Holy Spirit at work when we recognise and minister to the emotions and feelings that we bring to church, with us. That, in turn, helps make our village church services worthwhile and centres of pastoral, spiritual care.
You, the People What do you want of the church? The annual Christmas Crib Service draws you. Funerals of villagers attract you. You support the annual Village fete which generously supports the church. So, the church chugs along for the time being, but without any real aims or strategy. Three elements should be our concern – Worship – of that which is beyond us and which is holy: where our inmost sensitivities are touched: an en- counter which leaves us feeling better afterwards than we did before. Fellowship – because the influence of the Divine on our lives, in drawing us to Himself, draws us closer to one another in mutual good will and self giving, both locally but also in the wide world to which we all be- long. Evangelism - to tell the Christian story in beautiful and imaginative ways so that Christian faith makes sense. G.K. Chesterton wrote that ‘Christianity has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found dif- ficult and not tried.’ So – a village forum I invite anyone with any interest in the church in our village to come to a ‘Bring & Share’ lunch in the Village Hall on Sunday 16th March. The Forum will begin at 11.45a.m. followed by the lunch. I will come with my thoughts and hope you will come with yours – as we try to develop some aims and strategies that people of the village may join in, as we seek to develop an active role for our church.

St Mary’s, Aston Somerville - Church news
John Thompstone, as ‘interim’ Vicar is always pleased to visit you at home. His contact number is 01386 852930 or Email: [email protected]
Patience has to the watchword as regards the present and the future at Aston Somerville Church. Patience in waiting for God to move amongst us in such a way as may lead to revival and renewal in the Church’s life.
Meanwhile, if there are concerned Christian people, we could play our part by – Our commitment to worship so as to honour and glorify the Lord’s name: Our commitment to pray that His Will be done in this church and village: Our commitment to welcome one another in the Lord’s name, as a fellowship imbued with the love of Christ: Our commitment to spiritual growth as the years pass and we grow older: A commitment to share the burdens of the church in other places – especially where there is persecution or poverty: or where are growth and the need for education, for pastors and evangelists to fulfil their ministry.
None of these are achievable (nor is the continuance of the Church is Aston Somerville) if we deliberately stay away when the doors are open for us, and a ministry is offered.
However, the congregation has been so minimal over the past 3 months that, with the approval of the Team Rector, John Partington, we shall reduce the number of services as from the beginning of March. Thereafter, there will be services of Holy Communion at 9.15 a.m. on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month.
You may like to note the visit of the Archdeacon of Cheltenham on Sunday 9th February for a service of Holy Communion at 9.15 a.m.
Meanwhile I extend good wishes to you all for the forthcoming year.

Whats in a name
Have you ever wondered where names come from? When there were few people around you came from the river or maybe the hill or just that north farm. As populations grew people had to be more inventive.
“ ton” is an old Anglo Saxon name for a homestead or farmstead. Look around you will see Aston ( East Ton ) Weston ( West ton ) and even Norton. South ton became Sutton, a little further afield. Hinton possibly linked to “ a place of a religious community “. This has its origins in the name “ Piddlehinton…… “estate on the Piddle belonging to a religious com- munity “ Hinton on the Green like Childswickham was transferred from Gloucestershire to Worcestershire in 1931. Childswickham however still retains its Gloucestershire parish status whilst being in Worcestershire.
Most will know of Chipping meaning “ market “ Chipping Norton is mentioned in the Doomsday book as Norton when the lord of the manor decided there was money to be made out of encouraging people to come to town and trade and charging them for the privilege.
Murcot is a “ hamlet” a village without its own church. Aston Somerville ….. Aston ( see above ) but what of Somerville…… French fam- ily ???
Childswickham ,of course not to be outdone , is recorded as far back as 706 and has its name in the Doomsday book as Wicvene. The name is of Celtic origin and means ‘ wood near a moor or upland pasture’ Childe is Old English meaning ‘ young man of noble birth.
Lots of interesting facts about the villages around us. Many books are available on this subject. In particular “The Book of English Place names: How our towns and Villages Got their names” by CarolineTaggart , available in Kindle form .
If anyone fancies reviewing a book feel free. This magazine is as good as your contributions. I will reserve the right to edit and chose what to put in. It doesn't have to be rotas and what has or is going to happen. Ed
