Annual Memorial Service for the Owmby Group and Springline Parishes This year the annual service at which we remember and pray for all those we love and miss will be held at St Luke's, North Carlton at 7pm on Monday 2nd November. Please note the change of venue from that previously given. November 2nd is All Souls' Day, when we remember with thanksgiving before God those whom we have know personally who have died - our families and friends, those who have nurtured us in life and in faith. It follows directly after All Saints' Day, November 1st, when the Church celebrates men and women in whose lives the Church as a whole has seen the grace of God powerfully at work. Everyone is welcome at this service.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them." Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen

FROM A CHURCHWARDEN As we approach November 11th, I am reminded not only of Remembrance Day, but am also reminded of the gift of forgiveness and friendship. This was brought home to me very recently on a trip to Orkney and in particular to the little island of Lambholm. There, we visited an Italian Chapel known as The Miracle of Camp 60. Lambholm housed, in the later years of the Second World War, several hundred Italian prisoners captured during the North African campaign. They were sent to Orkney to work on the Churchill Barriers, built to protect the British fleet in Scapa Flow. The Italian prisoners wanted to build a church where they could worship their God. Permission was eventually granted provided work on the Churchill Barriers was not impeded. Two empty Nissen huts were given to them and these were placed end to end and joined together. A talented artist, Domenico Chiocchetti, set to work and whilst he worked his imagination caught fire and ideas flooded his mind. His work is truly magnificent, particularly the altar piece, which is a representation of Madonna and Child. This masterpiece is based on a Holy picture by Nicolo Barabino (1832-1891) which Chiocchetti had carried with him throughout the war. However, owing to the fortunes of war, the chapel was in use for a very short time. When it was practically finished, a special service was held incorporating (with gramophone records in the vestry), the bells and choir of St. Peter's Rome. The Chapel is an amazing place; the walls look as though they are covered in bricks with a concrete dado below with intricate carvings. All of the bricks and the dado are, in fact, painted freehand by Signor Chiocchetti, The Chapel embraces you as you enter you can feel the loving care taken to produce it. Signor Chiocchetti returned to Orkney in March 1960 to restore the Chapel to its former glory. Before he left to return home to Moena, Italy, Signor Chiocchetti wrote a letter to the people of the Orkneys. I reproduce two paragraphs from this:- Dear Orcadians, The chapel is yours, for you to love and preserve. I take with me to Italy, the remembrance of your kindness and wonderful hospitality. I shall remember always, and my children shall learn from me to love you. I thank the authorities of Kirkwall and all those who have directly or indirectly collaborated for the success of this work and for having the joy of seeing again the little chapel of Lambholm where I, in leaving, leave a part of my heart. Signed Domenico Chiocchetti. These words are the real Miracle of Camp 60!
PRAYER FOCUS FOR NOVEMBER This month we pray especially for Christians who are persecuted for their faith throughout the world. We thank God for their perseverance and faithfulness and pray that God will give them courage in their suffering.

OF E. PRIMARY SCHOOL Education never stands still and this year in particular is no exception with the introduction of multiplying and dividing fractions to exercise the minds of our Key Stage 2 children as part of our government's never ending quest to raise the standard throughout our schools. Fortunately our pupils seem to be enjoying the challenge. Some of the more inventive and creative introductions, such as the Sergeant 7 tables song have helped to make the new medicine taste a little sweeter! Key Stage 2 have been focusing on the topic of 'Beautiful world? Wonderful God?' this term. They have been reflecting on what is beautiful to them, whether it be the dog, family or life in general. Perhaps a favourite teddy or Grandad's watch? This theme was continued on the 'Welly walk' , which is now a firmly established Hackthorn tradition which remains, happily, free from the creative input of Westminster, giving the children the opportunity to appreciate, and reflect on seasonal changes, reminding them of our important historical links with agriculture. Key Stage 1 had a very healthy time making fresh fruit salad, learning about the benefits of all different kinds of fruit, while Key Stage 2 did some scientific taste testing by creating some very imaginative soups. Once again, we had the great pleasure of welcoming the Young Shakespeare company who, this year, gave us Romeo and Juliet. The children were truly engaged and captivated by the whole event, and the actors were suitably astounded by some of the very astute questions that their young audience posed afterwards. Buoyed by the success of last year's cake extravaganza, we opened our doors again for another Macmillan coffee morning. Once again, the response was tremendous, and we raised over £250 in an hour! Many thanks to everyone who came, baked, or just ate and drank. Contact the school on 01673 860295 to arrange a visit, request a School Brochure or enquire about vacancies. Italian Evening

At a recent meeting, all 7 of the Councillors attended together with DC Jeff Summers and CC Lewis Strange. The Central Lincoln Local Plan was explained as was the proposed Devolution for the whole of Lincolnshire who are putting together a bid to devolve power from Central Government. Solar panel farms are being restricted to lower grade land but it was good news to hear that the proposed Hemswell Wind Farm has been turned down on appeal. Energy from the Lincoln Waste Plant is back up to speed but the proposed Eastern by-pass has not yet been started. Highways have not yet dealt with the narrowing of the Caenby Lane. The grass verge is spreading onto the road obliterating some the slow sign. WLDC have arranged for a qualified person to inspect the church wall and send us a report.

COMING to The Broadbent Theatre, Wickenby LN3 5AW Box Office 01673 885500 Full details at www.broadbenttheatre.org ...... Amici Touring Theatre Present “Outside Edge” by Richard Harris Ostensibly a cricketing play, a hilarious comedy, principally about relationships. The match takes something of a back seat, as couples fall out, tempers get frayed, and Miriam simply has to know what Rodger got up to in Dorking. Friday 13th November at 7:30 p.m. Tickets £9.00 full / £8.00 Conc...... “Fyreflies” A folk rock band Friday 27th November Tickets £8.00 full / £7.00 Conc...... New Perspectives Present “He Wore a Red Hat” “New Perspectives have an unerring instinct for what will strike a chord with rural audiences.” – The Stage “Tantilizing.” – The Financial Times A festive-themed noir comedy from regional favourites New Perspectives, full of twists, turns and surprises. You’ll never look at Santa in quite the same way… The village has formed a group of amateur detectives to help solve local crimes. But when part-time unpublished poet Joshua Rogan’s applications are repeatedly turned down, he decides to take sleuthing into his own hands. Believing he’s one step ahead, he begins to piece together what he thinks are a series of related crimes, enlisting an intern as his put upon side-kick. But just when thinks he’s onto something, a series of parcels arrive and he’s in for a big surprise… Join Joshua for a spot of sleuthing as he attempts to restore faith in the festive season. And maybe share a few poems. And possibly fall in love… Thursday 3rd December 2015 at 7.30pm Tickets £9.00 full / £8.00 Conc.
