As I write, we are working on preparations for All Saints’ Church to be able to start this once more. As it needs to be supervised at the moment, we cannot be freely open as we have been, but from Saturday, 27 June there will be times on Tuesday afternoons (2:00pm – 6:00pm) and on Saturday afternoons (2:00pm – 4:30pm) when our volunteers will be delighted to welcome you with an open door. Please be ready to cooperate with the hygiene regulations that will be in place, which are for your wellbeing and for the wellbeing of others who may visit after you. Sadly, for now, for the remainder of the week, the doors of the building will have to remain closed. In our morning Zoom worship through the last couple of weeks, we have been looking at the first four chapters of the book of Revelation – and there the picture of open and closed doors is seen too. These chapters contain the start of the ‘revelation’ given to the apostle John, one of the ’12 disciples’, in his old age (probably around 95AD) while exiled on the Greek island of Patmos because of his continuing faith in and testimony of Jesus. There are messages to the ‘seven churches’ in what is now Western Turkey, which were places where John was well known and perhaps had been the area where he was arrested and sent into exile. In two of these letters, the picture of the door is given – an open door to the faithful church in Philadelphia, offering them the assurance that they are heading in the right direction, but a closed door to the church in Laodicea, which is made famous by the Holman Hunt painting in St Paul’s Cathedral: where Jesus, the Light of the World, is pictured knocking on the closed door, inviting whoever is on the side with the handle to open it and allow him to enter with his light and to share fellowship with him. Nigel Stallard spoke on this passage (you can listen to the full talk on the video of the service which is at www.leekwoottonchurch.co.uk/thursday-18 -june). In his talk, Nigel highlights the grace of God shown to these largely faithless followers in Laodicea. That, rather than just give up on them, he invites them to turn back, and gives a promise to those who will respond. Nigel highlights ‘the warmth and the compassion that Jesus seems to show … he stands outside the door and knocks, he waits for them to open the door to him’. Applying the passage to us and to our current circumstances, Nigel used the following analogy: “[Jesus] doesn’t just want to visit, to stand in the garden at 2- metres distance. He wants to come in and share food with us. He wants to come in to our ‘social bubble’ and join our household for good.” One thing you can be sure of, you are in no danger of catching COVID-19 if 3 LEEK WOOTTON LINK | JULY/AUGUST 2020 you respond to his knock, open the door, and invite him in. The only infectious things Jesus brings are love, joy, peace – and ‘amazing grace’. The more these are spread from household to household, the better we will all be. Jim Perryman www.leekwoottonchurch.co.uk ALL SAINTS’ CHURCH CHURCH SERVICES / EVENTS FOR JULY/AUGUST As you will realise, Government policy is constantly changing, and announcements are made at very short notice about what is and isn’t permitted. At the time of writing, there is no news on when public worship will be allowed within church buildings, though it seems likely that it would be permitted in some form during the summer months. However, the likelihood remains that it would be extremely limited and, under those circumstances, we will plan to continue our main times of worship via Zoom through the next two months. Should anything change, this will be made clear on the church website, social media and by email to those on the mailing list. Monday – Friday, 8:45 – 9:05am: Morning Worship: Prayer, Bible reading, time to reflect on the reading and a song of worship related to the theme, and a chance to chat at the end. Saturday, 5:15 – 6:15pm: Pre-Sunday Worship, starting with 15 minutes of contemporary worship songs which lead us into 40 minutes of prayer, reading, reflection and more traditional hymns, with a chance to chat at the end. All services are recorded and are normally available on the church website an hour or so after they have ended. To join us live, go to www.tiny.cc/lwzoom and follow the instructions. If you are joining for the first time and haven’t connected to Zoom for any work-related meetings, there will be some software to install – but it is simple, safe and easy (don’t get put off by the media stories). If using a phone or iPad etc., you will need to have the ‘Zoom Cloud Meeting’ app installed, and then you will be joining Meeting ID 645 991 3128. If you are on a Windows PC or laptop, you just need to install a small Zoom file which will happen when you first try to connect. There will also be a special Taizé-style worship service on Sunday, 30 August at 6:30pm organised on behalf of Churches Together in Kenilworth & District. If this is a live-streamed service, as is likely, the link to join this will be www.tiny.cc/ctkdservice. Other details will be on the church website as well as the Churches Together website www.lovekenilworth.org.uk 4 LEEK WOOTTON LINK | JULY/AUGUST 2020 www.mothersunioncoventry.com LEEK WOOTTON MU Contact : Janet Jackson t : 258264 Faith and Prayer Worldwide, faith is at the heart of Mothers’ Union as we work together to tackle poverty and improve family life through practical grassroots support. Our prayer is for a world at peace and in community. Each day, at midday, members around the world pause to pray and communities are united through this continuous expression of commitment, running throughout the year for all the places in which MU is represented. Midday Prayers can be found on the Mothers Union Live Facebook page and are then available on YouTube. In the UK, those who don't have access to the internet can hear the prayers via the Church of England's Daily Hope line by calling 0800 804 8044 from a UK mobile or landline with options 4 then 8. The daily prayers last about ten minutes, are said for the week by an MU member and unite all areas of the world at this time. They start with moments of quiet stilling and as MU’s 2020 theme is Building Hope and Confidence, words from the Bible: “God is good and a strong refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who hope in Him.” Nahum 1:7, with the final blessing: “We go in thanks for the goodness of God, our sure and steadfast hope in every circumstance.” The time of prayer includes the ‘24/7 Wave of Prayer’ across the globe for dioceses in turn and can be found on the MU website and in the ‘families worldwide’ magazine, which is also available in French, South American Spanish and Kiswahili and, as we pray, we know that around the world others are praying for us too.

  • Warwick District
    Warwick District Personal Details: Name: Charles BOURNE E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: I am very pleased to see that the Boundary Commission has decided to proceed with its own proposals, rather than adopting any of those put forward by Warwick District Council or any of the political parties (although some of these were more reasonable than others!). I totally support the objective of the Boundary Commission of creating wards with the least variation from the population average, and aligning wards as far as possible with the County Council divisions adopted following their most recent revision. However, I wish particularly to express my SUPPORT for two aspects of the Boundary Commission's proposals, both of which "correct" very unfortunate aspects of the County Council boundaries: (1) To include the area between the railway line and the River Leam in Clarendon Ward rather than Brunswick. I live in this area and can categorically confirm that the community on and around Avenue Road/Adelaide Road identify with and consider ourselves part of Leamington Spa town centre and North Leamington (Clarendon Ward or Milverton Ward), and not South Leamington (Brunswick). I am very grateful that members of the Commission took the trouble to visit this area, and affirm their view that hard geographical features separate our area from Brunswick ward. (2) To broaden Milverton Ward across Kenilworth Road so that the ward is coherent, compact and geographically rational. I hope that whatever changes the Boundary Commission might make to these proposals as a result of this consultation, they will not make any alteration to these two elements.
