The answer, of course, was coined in the 1930’s by Arthur Mee to The first Thankful Village we discov- “We are a Thankful Village” and that was describe a village which the Great War ered, quite by accident was Bigby, right the first time I heard the term. had left unscathed, or, at least, every- up in North Lincolnshire.

There is a window in as ‘Doubly Thankful’ since all those who was this fact that caused me to ask the the church commemorating the Doubly enlisted in both the first and second charming man who opened the church Thankful status of the village. Sadly, of course, in 1974 there was a dreadful ex- plosion at the Flixborough Oil Refinery when 28 men lost their lives so perhaps Flixborough today no longer feels either thankful or lucky. Minting and High Toynton are two vil- lages near to Horncastle; Minting is a tiny village with a church and pub and all the 14 men who enlisted in the Great War re- turned home and I hope the village gave them a great welcome with free drinks in the Sebastopol Inn, which itself is a reminder of the equally brutal Siege of Sevastopol in 1854. High Toynton on the way to Skegness is our second doubly thankful village. They waved goodbye to 14 of their men folk in the first war and five in the second and joyfully wel- comed them all back home again. There is another tiny hamlet, also very near to Horncastle called Wadding- worth which consists of a farm and a tiny church (now privately owned) from where 2 men enlisted and both returned home but, because of the size of the hamlet, it is not considered a village and is therefore not included in the lists of Thankful villages, although I am sure the farmer and the men employed on the farm were equally pleased to welcome their sons home again. 4 Bishop Edward Hicks, Bishop of Lincoln 1910-1919 Muriel Robinson We are all familiar with the signed from the presidency of name of Edward King, but I con- the Church League for Women’s fess to not having been aware of Suffrage in 1919 when they vot- his successor, another Edward, ed in favour of admitting women until recently when I was in the to the priesthood.

I’m delighted that our Education Development Officer Lynsey Norris is a qualified Mental Health First Aid Instructor running three courses this year to train members of your team to be Mental Health First Aiders (see page 16).

  • Aviation Heritage
    Group Travel Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire is renowned as the ‘Home of the Royal Air Force’ and has a vast aviation heritage. The county’s flat, open countryside and its location made it ideal for the development of airfields during World War I, and in World War II Lincolnshire became the most important home to Bomber Command. Several airfields are still operational and serving the modern day RAF while former airfields, museums and memorials are witness to the bravery of the men and women who served here in most turbulent times. How to get here The district is well connected from the A1, A15, A17 and A46 roads. Accessibility Please contact individual venues for accessibility requirements.

  • Our Resource Is the Gospel, and Our Aim Is Simple;
    Bolingbroke Deanery GGr raappeeVViinnee MAY 2016 ISSUE 479 • Mission Statement The Diocese of Lincoln is called by God to faithful worship, confident discipleship and joyful service. • Vision Statement To be a healthy, vibrant and sustainable church, transforming lives in Greater Lincolnshire 50p 1 Bishop’s Letter Dear Friends, Many of us will have experienced moments of awful isolation in our lives, or of panic, or of sheer joy. The range of situations, and of emotions, to which we can be exposed is huge. These things help to form the richness of human living. But in themselves they can sometimes be immensely difficult to handle. Jesus’ promise was to be with his friends. Although they experienced the crushing sadness of his death, and the huge sense of betrayal that most of them felt in terms of their own abandonment of him, they also experienced the joy of his resurrection and the happiness of new times spent with him. They would naturally have understood that his promise to ‘be with them’ meant that he would not physically leave them. However, what Jesus meant when he said that they would not be left on their own was that the Holy Spirit would always be with them. It is the Spirit, the third Person of the Holy Trinity, that we celebrate during the month of May. Jesus is taken from us, body and all, but the Holy Spirit is poured out for us and on to us. The Feast of the Holy Spirit is Pentecost. It happens at the end of Eastertide, and thus marks the very last transition that began weeks before when, on Ash Wednesday, we entered the wilderness in preparation for Holy Week and Eastertide to come.

It is a fun way of being church for families, with its values being Christ-cen- tred, for all ages, based on creativity, hospitality and celebration. Philippa, who led the event in the Cathedral, al- ready runs a successful Messy Church at St John the Baptist in Lincoln and ran Messy Cathedral for the first time last year, with almost one hundred people taking part. This time attendance dou- bled. Nearly two hundred participants heard stories and did craft activities based on the parables of the Sower, the Lost Sheep, the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son. The session then moved into a ‘celebration’ time of more formal worship before finishing with everyone having a picnic lunch together. For many families, Messy Church is their church, where they first encoun- ter Christ and which they start to attend regularly.
