And as I write for June, though we're still in May at this moment, it feels as the though the summertime has actually arrived early judging by all the lovely weather we've been having recently. But I hope that by the time you're reading this, that the current trend in our weather has continued and that we can all continue to enjoy some of what the season brings. But as a footnote to my opening paragraph, and at the risk of possibly sounding somewhat repetitive, please do keep yourselves safe in whatever you're doing, and as a minimum follow all official advice surrounding social distancing and so on. You may also consider that you ought to be erring further on the side of caution, depending upon your own and your family's circumstances. We continue to live in a situation which may further evolve at unexpected tangents, and we'd probably all do well to keep this in mind. As our public worship in church buildings continues to remain on hold, it's important that though we're separated by distance we can still have a sense on being in prayer with one another. I'll therefore continue to broadcast services from my home each week which I commend to you to take part in if you're able to. Just head over to the Parish of Rivenhall & Silver End Facebook page every Sunday at 2pm to take part; and if you do miss one week, then you can also catch up by watching the videos later if you would like to: www.facebook.com/parishRHSE I'll also continue to send out regular updates by way of email which vary in exact content but frequently contain readings, a sermon, and other information which you might find interesting. If you would like to receive these and haven't so far, or had them forwarded on to you by another person, do get in touch if you'd like to be added to the email distribution list at: [email protected] For those people who don't have their own internet access, as of this month the magazine will again be printedbut if you prefer to read the online version pleas let 1 Peter Hope (01376 502605) know as he can then reduce the print run. I'd imagine that most people have by now found many of the other ways of being and doing 'church', but don't forget to check out what continues to be broadcast on the TV and radio (or the wireless!). Plus don't forget that there's a free of charge Church of England telephone worship phone line called 'Daily Hope', which was launched at the end of April and which operates 24 hours a day. The service offers music, prayers and reflections as well as full worship services from the Church of England – all at the end of a telephone line which can be reached by dialling: 0800 804 8044. This year, Pentecost just crept into May, but there are still a few dates of note in June this year. The 7th of the month is Trinity Sunday and this is a special day for a number of reasons. Firstly it's the one Sunday of the year (some might suggest day) when we're wholly invited to think about God as Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Or to use a more contemporary description: Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer. God who lives and moves in complete love and harmony; the three persons of God's self who gave us the universe including our home world and it's abundance of life, who draws us close into relationship with God's self by having become human and becoming the fulfilment of redeeming love. And through whom we pray and connect with God's self and one another by way of faith, word, and sacrament. When we give this even a little thought we very quickly catch a glimpse of how wonderful our relationship with God has the potential to be, and what it can bring to enrich our lives; something to truly celebrate. Then on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday (the 11th), as it does every year, the church calendar celebrates the feast of Corpus Christi. This is a unique occasion outside of Holy Week to give thanks for the sacrament of Holy Communion; or the Eucharist as it universally known. Under normal circumstances many of us share in this together at least on most Sundays, but it's also wonderful that we have a particular day on which the focus is simply the sacrament itself with a special opportunity to give 2 thanks for it. As an interesting footnote, did you know that the word 'Eucharist' actually means 'thanksgiving'? As the month of June progresses, we then remember the lives of no less than 4 other people of significance to our faith. Barnabas – companion of St Paul on the 12th, the birth of John the Baptist on the 24th, and finally the ministries of St Peter & St Paul on the 29th. Each of these people played an important role by either preparing the way for Jesus' own ministry in the case of John, or in case of the others in bringing the good news of our Lord to others, and each of these people should be celebrated. But to think about two of these: When Simon-Peter exclaimed that Jesus was the Christ, Jesus replied in saying that Peter came to this realisation by it being revealed to him by God, and that he would be the rock upon which the church would be built. (cf: Matthew 16:16-18). As you'll probably know, St Paul's coming to the understanding as to who Jesus is was quite different. Saul as he was then known came from the Pharisee tradition, and zealous for his faith. Indeed we're even told that he asked the High Priest for letters to allow him to arrest any whom he found professing faith in Jesus as the Son of God, that he might bring them bound back to Jerusalem – presumably (as he saw it at the time), to stand trial for perversion of the faith (Acts 9:1-2). But on the road toward Damascus, he had a life-changing experience when he encountered the risen Lord Jesus. In time Saul became known as Paul, and though he was never one of Jesus' twelve disciples during Jesus' ministry on earth, Paul earned the title of the 'apostle to the gentiles' as a result of his life-long committed ministry to proclaiming the gospel. In other words, it was Paul who most notably initially took the good news of a relationship with God through Jesus, to the non-Jewish population in the near-eastern parts of the ancient world. Hence the letters which he wrote to the new Christian committees, often ironing- out difficulties which arose, which make up so much of the New Testament. The two 'rocks' of St Peter and St Paul in the early church leave us with a good example to follow. They listened to the voice of God through Jesus in their own lives and went on to bring the good news of the love of God to the people whom 3 they then encountered, guided by the Holy Spirit. God, who is in relationship with God, through the love of the Holy Trinity; the wonderful relationship thought about above, and which we're invited to participate in today. But as a final thought: the month of May has seen me spend time catching up with more people by way of phone calls and email once again, and as ever, I'm always delighted to hear from any of you too; whatever church you usually worship at or wherever you live. So do get in touch over the coming month if you'd like to – whatever the reason. As a reminder, my number is: 01376 583930. Paul Watkin.

    Note: Many informational documents on this website are "evergreen' documents - constantly growing with additions, updates, corrections... Please email [email protected] if you have any data/ information to add or correct. *Original primary source documents are digitized and can be viewed on the web site. Ancestors of the Immigrant Christopher Choate [b.1642] ©1 Christopher Chotte 2 is documented to have immigrated from England as an indentured servant to the Province of Maryland in 1676.*3 There is no information in the records of England or Maryland to indicate his age or where in England he was from. He has been identified by researchers as the first in the "Choates of the South” family line (Generation 1). Attempting to identify the English origins and relatives of Christopher is a challenge since primary source data is limited or yet to be discovered. Below is the beginning of an attempt to identify our English ancestors but these result involve conjecture and the further back one goes pure guess work. 4 The greatest portion of Choat/Choate families from the 1600s in England came from the parishes that make up Essex and Suffolk County today. Research in 1988 5 discovered a Christopher Chote christened on 4 September 1642 in St. Mary’s and All Saints Church, Rivenhall Parish, Essex County. 6 His father’s name was Christopher and an older brother was named Edward. Christopher [b.1642] the progenitor of the “Choates of the South” named his two sons: Christopher and Edward. The naming pattern of Christopher’s [b.1642] sons allows one to draw a plausible link between the indentured servant that arrived in the Province of Maryland in 1676 and the boy christened in Rivenhall in 1642.

  • Scrub Clearance Enhances Floristic Species Richness on a Green Lane with Restricted Motorised Vehicular Access in Stanford Rivers, Essex, England
    Conservation Evidence (2009), 6, 79-82 www.ConservationEvidence.com Scrub clearance enhances floristic species richness on a green lane with restricted motorised vehicular access in Stanford Rivers, Essex, England Tim Gardiner 1 & Andrew Vaughan 2 1 2 Beech Road, Rivenhall, Witham, Essex CM8 3PF, UK ; [email protected] 2 Epping Forest Countrycare, Epping Forest District Council, Civic Offices, High Street, Epping, Essex CM16 4BZ, UK ; [email protected] SUMMARY An experimental early-spring scrub clearance regime was introduced in 2008 to Coleman’s Lane, a ‘green lane’ site (i.e. a double hedged, unsurfaced track) in Essex, southeast England, with the aim of increasing floristic species richness. A year after scrub clearance, floristic species richness was higher on both grassy verges either side (average 5.6 species/quadrat) and central track (4.3 species) of the green lane, compared with that recorded a year prior to clearance (4.2 and 2.8 species respectively). Plant species that especially benefited from scrub clearance included cow parsley Anthriscus sylvestris and red dead nettle Lamium purpureum . New species recorded in 2009 included bush vetch Vicia sepium , sweet violet Viola odorata and wood anemone Anemone nemorosa . There were substantial reductions in bramble Rubus fruticosus and cleavers Galium aparine achieved. Further clearance is planned for winter 2009-10, and subsequently on a 2-3 year rotation. BACKGROUND includes the conservation of flora, fauna and physical features of the landscape. Motorised The byways (public rights of way open to all access can lead to low floristic species traffic; walkers, horse riders, cyclists, richness where vehicular usage is high, often motorised vehicles and carriage drivers) of eradicating plant cover on the central track Essex were surveyed in 2002 and 2003 in an due to excessive wear and tear by vehicle effort to describe their value for conservation, wheels (Gardiner 2008).

  • History of St. Francis Church Silver End
    HISTORY OF ST. FRANCIS CHURCH SILVER END The building was originally an Essex Barn, built between 1690 and 1750 and belonging to Grooms Farm. It was bought by F I Crittall when he built the new village in 1926 to house the workers for his window factory. The barn was converted to serve as a church for the Church of England Community and was dedicated in 1930. The main beams of the barn were discovered in 1982 to be Scandinavian timber. From 1930 to 1982 the ceiling had been a deep midnight blue with gold stars and the beams were painted red with gold detailing. In 1982 the ceiling was re-painted to its current pale blue with some of the original gold patterns retained and the red paint from the beams was removed. In 1982 the kitchen and toilets were added in what had been a cow shed on the side of the barn. The main entrance to the church was originally in the centre of the building where the barn doors would have been opened on both sides to gain access and to let air flow through during harvest time. The original hinges and smaller church entrance door, now blocked up, can be seen from the outside. The entrance was moved to its current location in 1968. The way building is sited means that the congregation faces the widow to the south and not the east as the normal convention. The church and the land up to the road path and footpath running along the north end of the building is held on a 999 year lease from Braintree District Council.
