I wonder how that’s going for you? Did you give up something and stick to it? Did you take up more Bible study and prayer so that it’s now a positive habit? How many of the #40Acts did you complete? If you’ve kept going, well done! I don’t want to criticise or condemn anyone, but to help us realise how difficult it can be to persist in something for the long haul. I’ve been reflecting recently on the word still and its different meanings. Often this can be a negative word, meaning that something continues even though we want it to stop: ‘I still haven’t got over this cold.’ In the darker times in our lives, our fears and sufferings can seem to keep going on and on, and it’s difficult to see an end to them. That’s when we need a different kind of still. ‘Be still, and know that I am God!’ Psalm 46:10 The Hebrew word for ‘still’ here means to stop striving, to be still in a restful way, submitting - not giving in to the darkness, but giving ourselves up to God. Often, we want to be seen to cope and to be in strong in adversity, we keep busy and try to manage the practicalities, but become more mentally and physically tired. That’s when we need to carve out some time, even if it’s only five minutes, to hand over those situations to God. Find a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted and can be comfortable, it could be a church, or a garden, or just somewhere at home. If you’re worried about taking too long, or not being able to fit it in, you could even set a timer. Perhaps light a candle. Sit still and just allow God to comfort you. One of our Sunday readings recently was the story of Jesus calming the storm, and I think it’s a helpful meditation during suffering because it reminds us who is in control. Jesus is able to sleep through the storm because he trusts God, but he responds to the fear of the disciples: 3 ‘He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!’ Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm.’ Mark 4:39 Jesus, whom even the wind and waves obey, speaks peace and stillness in our lives when we cry out to him. As we enter Passiontide on the 7th of April, we begin our focus on Jesus’ journey to the Cross, remembering that He knows the pain of suffering and watching others suffer - He has experienced it all himself. In becoming human, God chose to identify with his people and Jesus left His disciples with the promise: ‘Remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’ Matthew 28:20 And of course, after the darkness of night, the sun still rises. After the darkness of Good Friday, and the silence of the Sabbath day, Sunday began with the Sonrise, the dawning of new hope. Whatever our darkness, there is still hope because Jesus is still with us. He draws from us the other kind of still, the persistence of trusting in Him, the insistence that in His presence our eyes will search for the coming of the dawn. This Easter, let us not jump too quickly to the joy of the resurrection, though we are sure of its coming. Let us be still together, bearing one another’s burdens and waiting for God. Kath McBride 4 COMMUNION AT HOME The 'Communion' we share in Church on a Sunday morning, is a visible symbol of the Community of God, that we are in, by sharing the bread and wine and remembering the sacrifice of Jesus. When we take Communion in Church on a Sunday we are, amongst other things, affirming our Community. I know that for many reasons some people are not able to come to Church on a Sunday. This doesn't mean that Communion cannot be received at another time through the week. Our Community is not wholly defined by who is at Church on a Sunday morning. Church can come to you! If you wish to receive Home Communion on a regular basis (or as a one off) you are more than welcome to do so. Myself, Kath McBride or Rev Lucy Brencher will happily visit. Please don't think that it is too much trouble to ask, this is certainly not the case. All you need to do to start receiving Home Communion is to contact me or one of the Churchwardens and we can visit, by arrangement, to suit you. It is also a pleasure to sit and chat for a while, after Communion is shared. Also, if you know someone who you think will benefit from Home Communion please let us know. Richard 5 PRAYER REQUESTS There are times when we feel we, or someone we know would benefit from prayers said specifically for them. This can bring great comfort. If you would like a prayer said for you or someone you know please get in touch with Richard, Lucy, Kath or one of the Churchwardens who will be able to help you. Similarly, if you would like yourself, or people to be specifically prayed for in our services please also ask, ensuring that the person for whom prayers will be said is comfortable with the happening. HOME GROUP NEWS Come and join our fellowship and Bible study small group...... We run a weekly group which meets on a Wednesday from 7.30 - 9pm in Bickerton to chat, get to know each other, study the Bible and pray over a cuppa. Everyone is welcome from across the parish and you don’t need to commit to every week. Over the past couple of terms, we’ve been learning about God’s character, Fruits of the Spirit and Gifts of the Spirit. This term we are using study materials from Holy Trinity Brompton to look at how Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament Prophecies about Him (“The Jesus Manifesto”) and to relate these to the practicalities of how we should be living and enjoying a full life. This term’s programme: 03/04 Lent Meditation 10/04 End of term meal If you would like to join us or would like further information, then contact Karen and Simon Flood: [email protected] 6 WHAT’S ON IN THE PARISH IN APRIL Wednesday 3rd April 12.15pm Community Lunch, Wighill Saturday 13th April 10.00am – 11.45am Coffee Morning, Hessay Thursday 18st April 11.00am to 1.00pm Community Coffee Morning, in the annexe to Tanfield House Saturday 20th April 10.00am – 12.00pm Community Café, Healaugh Memorial Hall Friday 26th April 10.30am-12.00am Community Café, School Rooms, Moor Monkton Saturday 23rd April 10.30am-12.00pm Bilton Coffee Morning.

  • Selby District Historic Designed Landscapes Project Healaugh Park and Manor
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST Selby District Historic Designed Landscapes Project Healaugh Park and Manor Report by Yvonne Boutwood [October 2016] 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Healaugh Park and Manor 1.2 Grid reference: SE 486459 1.3 Administrative area: Healaugh Civil Parish, Selby District, North Yorkshire (Current) County, West Riding of Yorkshire (Historic) County 1.4 Current site designation: Not on Historic England’s Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST The designed landscape at Healaugh Park and Manor has three distinct phases of development spanning the thirteenth to eighteenth centuries. The medieval deer park, Healaugh Park, was established prior to 1217 and it evolved and changed through to the post medieval period and was still in use until at least 1707. A small moated enclosure, containing the remains of a building, with sixteenth century pottery finds, may have been a hunting lodge, associated with the deer park. Within the park lay the site of an Augustinian priory, Healaugh Park Priory, which has evidence of a surrounding precinct wall that may have enclosed gardens. Following the Dissolution of the monasteries the priory buildings were converted to an Elizabethan manor house, Healaugh Manor (Figure 1). During this second phase of development the house was surrounded by orchards and gardens contained within an ornamental moat. The wider deer park was also reshaped at this time to create a smaller parkland enclosed by a park pale bank and ditch. The third phase in the late 1 seventeenth century saw the creation of more elaborate garden features, as an axial walk and tree avenue, terminating in a half-moon, were laid out.

  • Our Annual Review
    ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. Zechariah 4:6 Annual Review September 2014 – August 2015 Celebrating what God’s been doing among us… in pictures, numbers and stories www.thesanctuarycentre.org/whereworldandworshipmeet Together, this year we prayed Every day, Monday-Friday, at 9am, 1pm and 5pm (and quite a lot in between) for 42 weeks of the year in a way that was worshipful, thankful, hopeful, united, outward-focused, varied, creative, and led by what God was laying on our hearts. Our minds were blown by digging deeper into God’s character and into scripture… … and our hearts, lives and confidence to go without fear were transformed in and through his presence. We welcomed quite a few new pray-ers into our local 40-50 strong cross-church community and grew in sharing a deep sense of community with old faithfuls and newcomers alike. And we involved many more beyond our walls in the rhythm by putting the trusty white-board up online every day! Our monthly special foci on: environmental justice (1st) and 21 for freedom – trafficking (21st) have seen us grow in understanding, weep with those who weep – and marvel at the change God is bringing. And peace was on our hearts and in our prayers again and again in daily rhythms and at our special peace vigil last November This amazing picture was painted by Barbara Macnish during our night of prayer – Awaken the Dawn – for the nation just before the elections And she wasn’t the only one to leave prayer debris behind after a significant night of prayer… And together, we’ve been part of hundreds of amazing answered prayers at personal, community, national and international levels These highlights are just the tip of the iceberg but we especially loved: • The incredible breakthrough and specific tie in of timings and events that were involved in our prayer for the new Iris Ministries centre for vulnerable and trafficked boys opening in Cambodia.

  • News from West Winds in Buckden at the Heart of the Yorkshire Dales 27 August 2009
    News from West Winds in Buckden at the heart of the Yorkshire Dales 27 August 2009 West Winds tearooms shortlisted for White Rose Award We’re very pleased, and rather proud, to announce that West Winds is a finalist in the White Rose Awards for Tourism, run by Welcome to Yorkshire, the new name for the Yorkshire Tourist Board. In fact, West Winds is the only establishment to be shortlisted for a White Rose Award from the whole of the Dales. The tearooms are one of six finalists in the Taste of Yorkshire category, which rewards use of local produce and recipes. This is one of 15 categories in this year’s awards. A total of 71 hotels, attractions, restaurants and other tourism businesses are on the list of finalists. Awards will be presented in October at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. At West Winds we’ve tried hard to use as much produce from the Dales and wider Yorkshire area as we can. Lamb, beef, gammon, ham, venison and rabbit all come from named Yorkshire farms; cheeses are made at Hawes, Thirsk, Horton‐in‐Ribblesdale, Richmond and Teesdale (Teesdale used to be in Yorkshire!); free‐range farm eggs come from Hubberholme and Rylstone; preserves are made at Semer Water or are home‐made at West Winds; most vegetables and fruits are delivered by an organic supplier based at Richmond or grown in the garden at West Winds or picked locally; bread is specially baked for West Winds at Cracoe; ice cream is made at Jervaulx; and chocolates are made in Skipton.
