Well, the Bible does: there are references to them over and over again. Take the Christmas story when they are mentioned H more than 5 times. The first time is when the Angel Gabriel came to give the good news to Mary that she was going to give birth to a son. ‘He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end. ’ Luke chapter 1 Well that’s all right then. No. Mary was thought to be just thirteen years old, not married and a virgin. What is more, the punishment for any out-of-marriage pregnancies was death by stoning! Can you imagine the inner turmoil Mary went through and her reliance on the words of an Angel? Are there really Angels, did she really see one, and what would her fiancé think? Again an Angel came to the rescue, reassuring Joseph that the child was part of the Holy Spirit’s work of creation. An Angel also spoke to an old priest Zechariah telling him that, against all the odds, his wife Elizabeth would become pregnant too. Then there were the wise men who had come from, well, we don’t know where, but they had come a long way. Using a star to guide them they arrived just where the precious baby was born in a smelly stable! Yet again danger was lurking around the corner and it was up to an Angel to warn the wise men to avoid King Herod and go home another way. Yes, the story of Jesus’s birth is littered with Angels, but the bit I enjoy the most is that bit where a huge choir of Angels sing praises to God’s glory, not before kings or wise men or even the great and the good but before humble shepherds out in the fields and under the stars. So what are you going to put on the top of your Christmas tree this year? A fairy or a star or an Angel? Do you know, I hope it is an Angel because I believe in Angels. I believe we all have a guardian Angel – not to make life easy for us (after all, Mary’s life was not easy) but to guide and help to direct us when we are perplexed. What I want for this Christmas is a world that believes in Angels acting under the direction of God. After all, that’s what Abba believes in. Then we would have a Christmas focused on Jesus because that’s what the message of the Angels was all about. May I wish everyone reading this a truly happy Christmas and one which leaves plenty of room for that child called Jesus. The One the Angels told us about.

  • LINK-UP Keeping Churches in Touch
    November 2019 LINK-UP Keeping Churches in Touch www.godalmingchurches.org From the Past Chair All change for a new decade At the recent Annual General Meeting, which was held at the Old Rectory, Busbridge this year, there were a number of changes to the structure of the Executive of Churches Together in Godalming and District. For the time being, Rev Maggie Stirling-Troy will be Acting Chair and Angela Gilmour will be Vice Chair. The Executive consists of: • Secretary: Gillian Martin • Treasurer: Tony Bennewith • Past Chair: Michael Stubbs • Publicity: Edouard Le Maistre • Surrey Advertiser liaison and Catholic Rep: Angela Gilmour • Prayer Breakfasts: Michael Stubbs • GUC rep: Gwen Wheatman. • SS Peter and Paul: John Stevens We are also setting up a team (consisting at present of Maggie, Andy Poulsom and Michael Stubbs) to look at Good Friday 2020. The plan is for each church to hold its own service that morning and then to walk to Crown Court for a short service at 11:30 (tbc) and presentation that Trinity Trust Team have been performing in school assemblies. For Christmas 2020 we are looking at working with Godalming Town Council to erect a Christmas tree in Crown Court and still some sort of Nativity scene and the Carol service would take place in Wilfred Noyce in the afternoon, with Mayor and Town Councillors and others processing from the Town Council Offices. This Christmas events will be as usual on the 14 December, starting with a Santa Fun run at 10:00 and the Churches Together events and stall starting at 11:00 and with procession and Blessing of the Crib at 15:30 .and Carols in SS Peter and Paul at 16:00.

  • A Little Handbook
    The Church of St Peter and St Paul HAMBLEDON A Little Handbook Minimum recommended donation £2.00 Foreword by the Priest-in-Charge of Hambledon The Reverend Canon Robin Coutts This guide is dedicated to the memory of Welcome to our ancient and beautiful church. Over the centuries it has been the focus John Goldsmith (1924 - 2011) for worship and community in this village. We hope that this brief account will give Historian of Hambledon you an interesting insight into the changes - architectural, liturgical and social - which are revealed in the fabric of this building. Amidst the detail you will find references to Hambledon’s well known connection with cricket and the less widely known part the village played in Britain’s defensive preparations at the time of the Napoleonic wars. In a more recent conflict, a service was held in this church for the many troops stationed in and around the village before they embarked for the D Day landings in 1944. More recently still, the church has proved a wonderful setting for raising funds for the welfare of servicemen returning from current conflicts. The social history of Hambledon reflects the historic and economic ups and downs of the countryside. There was relative prosperity in the middle ages with regular commercial fairs, notably at Michaelmas. Later there was a gradual decline in substance and livelihood and it became harder and harder for the village to maintain the fabric of a large church. Difficulties of this sort continue today. But, as this booklet tells, the church and community have always come together wonderfully to solve them.

  • A Walk Near Godalming to View Plants and Habitats
    A walk near Godalming to view plants and habitats Woodland walk at Hydon’s Ball Greening Godalming is a local community group campaigning to make Godalming a greener town by helping people reduce their carbon footprints. Location : The starting point is the car park at Hydon’s Ball. Take the Hambledon Road A from Godalming and turn left at Hydestile up Salt Lane. Hydon’s Ball car park is opposite the junction with Clock Barn Lane to the left. Map reference: SU979402. Short and Long Walks : The short walk (see map) is A, B, C, D, then back to B and A. The long walk includes the circuit D, E, F and back to D. The short walk will take about one hour and the longer about two C B hours. The longer walk is worth taking to view the impressive yew trees in the churchyard of Hambledon Church. FROM A TO B: Walk up the main track to D the side of the car park up to the point where the track levels off. This is an opportunity to see a variety of trees typical of the floras of sandy acidic soils around Godalming. Going through the green barrier on the track, note E the three large trees on the right. Two are English (or pedunculate) oak ( Quercus robur ) and the other, with smooth bark, a F beech ( Fagus syvatica ). Small trees to the left of the track near this point include snowberry ( Amelanchier lamarkii ) and rowan ( Sorbus acuparia ), followed soon after by two medium-sized trees of Turkey oak ( Quercus cerris ) and a sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa ).

    October 2018 LINK-UP Keeping Churches in Touch www.godalmingchurches.org From the Chair Start the day with a Prayer At the September Prayer Breakfast, led by Rev Jane Vlach of SS Peter & Paul and St Marks, we prayed the following prayer: O King and Saviour of all What is your gift to me? And do I use it to Your pleasing? A Prayer we should perhaps all pray and then act upon. Prayer Breakfasts are on the fourth Saturday of each month. Breakfast starts at 8:30, with the prayer time from 9:15 to 10:00. The next two are at Godalming Baptist Church on Saturday 27 October and Hambledon Church on Saturday 24 November. Do attend, it's a good way to start a day. Do look at the Events sections as there are a number of important events and dates for next year - and put them in your organiser (be it paper or electronic)!
