Church Magazine Church Magazine August 2017 Aldermaston and Woolhampton Benefice Beenham Midgham Woolhampton Thought for the month When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. (Nehemiah 1:4) osing Becky after nearly seven years is a bit of a shaker and, there is, for L some, perhaps for most of us, a real sense of bereavement. We are told there are five recognisable stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and, finally, acceptance. Thinking about the stage of acceptance, we’re not necessarily happy about the change this news will make to our lives but we realise it’s going to happen and so we start to accept that rather than fight the inevitable. After all, The Lord gives and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Out of acceptance can come peace and out of peace can come anticipation of what lies ahead. With peace in our hearts anticipation can feel like excitement, a new start, fresh opportunities for all, opportunities for the benefice, and all of us in it, to show just how much Becky has done for us. I felt the Bible readings for the Sunday the news broke were so apposite; in Acts 17 Paul said that God is not far from each one of us. And again, in John 14:18 where Jesus promises the coming of the Holy Spirit, I will not leave you as orphans – I found, and still find, these two phrases hugely encouraging – I will not leave you as orphans, I am not far from each of you. I know from my own experience, and from conversations with others, that to be so true of Im- manuel, God-with-us; in times of joy, need and sorrow, even those times when we have felt so alone, or turned our backs on God, we later realise he has been with us all the time. We have a time of transition ahead of us, a time which allows us space, space to review and plan, to think about how far we’ve come and to think, under God’s hand, where we can go. And, thanks be to God, we know we are not alone, we know we have not been left as orphans, and that we have the Holy Spirit close by as we look towards the future. So please join me, and others, as we pray for God's leadership, wisdom, guidance and prompting in finding our new rector. There is a process, which has already started, and in this, and in God, we place our trust and our hope; the right person for our benefice is out there. In the meantime, we are particu- larly blessed to have a strong united ministry team in place ensuring it’ll be business as usual during the vacancy – please pray also for us as we adapt to change, and for Becky in her new role and home.

Help us Lord during the interregnum: - to use the gifts and talents you have given to each of us for your glory, - to seek your wisdom in prayer before we make decisions, and - to encourage and care for each other. Give wisdom and discernment to those charged with finding our new Rector and help us all to look forward with hope for the person who will serve us with joy, lead us by example, and enable us all to work together for the building of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord . Amen. 5 SPIRITUAL AND PASTORAL CARE IN THE BENEFICE o you feel a spiritual hole which needs filling in your life? Would you appreciate D the chance to chat informally over a cup of tea and cake? In addition to services at our village churches on Sunday, our benefice offers: St Matthew’s café – an informal gathering with tea and cakes and a story on the First Thursday of the month at St Matthew’s Midgham between 3.00 and 4.30 pm. Communion Service – a quiet service at Watermill Court at 3.30pm on the third Wednesday of every month followed by tea and cake Personal visits to your home to celebrate a home communion or simply chat. Prayer – A small and completely confidential group meets every month to hold those in need in prayer. If there is someone or something you would like us to support through pray do let us know. Mental Health awareness In June we had our first meeting on raising awareness of Mental Health. We met in Aldermaston Parish Hall and heard from a local psychiatrist, Dr Jeremy Harding, who explained that most of us will experience sadness in our lives. Times when someone we love dies, or is ill, times when our worlds are suddenly changed and we find it hard to cope. These times and other tough experiences may or may not result in us becoming so disorientated and unwell we need the help of mental health professionals. Several people were able to share their own experiences of particular mental illnesses and we heard about the difficulties of post natal depression and long term depression and anxiety. The evening ended with ten practical tips from the Mental Health Foundation on ways to look after our mental health. You can find these fully explained at: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/how-to-mental-health We all learned much from the evening and a group of us are now working on finding new ways to support those who suffer from mental illness. Details to follow. For more information: Contact: Rev. Pat Bhutta – 0118 971 0124 – E:mail: [email protected].

See Principles on main webpage. Lake, village, woodland, water, river, hills, heath In Brief This is a delightful walk through this gently hilly part of Berkshire, with a finish by the River Pang. It visits some charming small villages and a few unique pubs. This area was in the public light a few years ago because of a certain royal wedding, as it is home to the Middletons who were clients of the local pubs. Overview The Pot Kiln Stanford Dingley Bradfield Bucklebury Chapel Row This walk was inspired by one of the Adventurous Walks by Raymond Hugh. www.fancyfreewalks.org Page 1 There is a gastropub en route, one of several fine watering holes. (To reserve or enquire at the Pot Kiln , ring 01635-201366.) There are some patches of nettles on this walk making shorts inadvisable. In the more wintry months, some of the bridleways can be rather muddy, so boots are recommended.
