No. 393 The Mouthpiece Culham’s Newsletter February 2018 For your diary: Sun February 4th: 16:00 – Evening Prayer, St Paul’s Sun November 11th: 16:00 – Messy Church (incl. children’s activities & biscuits!), St Paul’s Mon November 12th: 19.30 - Parish Council Meeting, Culham School Sun November 18th: 11:00 - Parish Communion, St Paul’s Talking Point – Revd Caroline King February is a short but pivotal month; in the church, we transition from the season of Christmas and look towards Lent, Holy Week and Easter. February begins with the Feast of Candlemas on 2nd February. It is the last of the church’s Christmas celebrations and the final mention of the infant Jesus in the bible. The date for Candlemas is significant; 2nd February is forty days after Christmas and lies exactly half way between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, so it marks the day upon which winter is half over. On the 2nd February winter is half over and we can truly look forward to signs of spring. The passage in Luke 2:22-40 is one of the most beautiful and haunting passages in the bible. In it God speaks through Anna and Simeon. Sometimes God speaks to us through surprising people. Anna was an 84-year-old widow, yet she could see the potential wrapped up in the tiny helpless child. She could see the man he would become. Simeon could see too that this child was a light to lighten the world. Simeon took Jesus into his arms and said the words which are well known because they have come down to us as the “Nunc dimittis”.

Long Wittenham is a historic village surrounded by countryside on all sides which provides a buffer between it and other built-up areas (Figure 2). The countryside has multiple benefits for the village by providing local employment, recreational opportunities, tranquillity, and a green setting for the village itself which can be enjoyed from many viewpoints outside the village or from within, looking out to the countryside. The countryside in Long Wittenham Parish also benefits Didcot Garden Town. 3. The countryside separates Long Wittenhan from Didcot to the south east, Appleford to the west and Culham, Clifton Hampden and Burcot across the River Thames to the north.
