CHURCH NEWS

A big welcome for our new Vicar

We are delighted that Ian Mills (or to give him his full title, the Rev Dr Ian Mills) has been appointed as Vicar Designate of the planned new benefice to be called Chew Valley West comprising Chew Stoke, Nempnett, Winford with Regil and Felton. Ian and his wife Kelly-Ann (pictured on the frontispiece) will live at the Rectory in Winford. Kelly Ann is a Consultant in Foetal Medicine at St Michaels, Bristol. Ian was ordained in August 2017 and since September 2018 has been a curate in a group of parishes near Belfast. His background is that he grew up in Derry where he was a chorister in St Columb’s Cathedral. He took A-levels at Foyle College before studying a Bachelor’s degree, a Master’s degree and eventually a PhD in Music at Queen’s University Belfast. PTO

Before studying at the Church of Ireland Theological Institute, Ian worked as Organist and Master of the Choristers in Derry Cathedral; he also worked as a freelance recitalist and accompanist, and taught in St Malachy’s College and Methodist College, Belfast. In January 2019 Ian was appointed President of the Ulster Society of Organists and Choirmasters. Paying tribute to his curate in a social media post, the Rev David Lockhart, rector of Larne, Inver, Glynn and Raloo, said: “Ian has always been very supportive so whilst I am delighted for him, I will miss him being part of the team. His exceptional musical talent and many pastoral gifts have blessed us all and I know he will be missed.” We look forward very much to giving Ian & Kelly-Ann a warm welcome in the Chew Valley and supporting them in their new mission. Ian will be licensed by the Bishop of Bath and Wells at a service on 13th May at Winford. Sadly the numbers for this service will be extremely limited but it is hoped it will be live-streamed, details to follow later. Ian’s first service in St Andrews Chew Stoke will be Evensong on Sunday 16th May at 6.30pm and his first at St Mary the Virgin Nempnett Thrubwell will be Communion at 9am on Sunday 23rd May.

NEW BEGINNINGS ALL ROUND!

Welcome to our new Churchwarden

We are very pleased to announce that Tina Kilroy – see picture – is to join Andrew Troup as Churchwarden of St Andrews, Chew Stoke.

Letter from our Associate Priest, Rev’d Sandra Lovern

Dear friends, Last month I spoke of the comfort and support we all need as we come out of lockdown into a new future, ending by saying, “Take courage, God is with us.” I repeat that now in a new context. For Chew Valley West this will doubtless be my last letter, as the new rector, Ian Mills, will be installed in time to write the next, and CV East not far behind. The likelihood is that Ian will retain some things, the best of what our churches offer, adding his own style to it. But it would be a denial of any priest’s calling and ministry to expect everything to remain unchanged.

All churches long for growth, both in numbers and in deepening faith and trust in God, and the community that develops alongside that. Change can be challenging; we are creatures of habit who can find it hard to give up familiar routines and rituals; but if we live in contentment with God, understand that he is sovereign over all that happens and put our trust in him, and if we fix our eyes upon Jesus, we can cope with almost any change that occurs - and even find life more exciting and fulfilling. And that includes our church life.

The priestly calling is intrinsically solitary, the relationship to the people around a priest unique. We hold people at their most joyful and painful times, keeping many things con- fidential. It can be challenging, but a congregation can ensure their priest flourishes, and can therefore lead in a good and godly fashion, with gentle support and encouragement. Being held in such loving care means the difference between a priest who is flourishing and one who is struggling, or has even given up. No one is blessed with every talent and gift by God, even if ordained, and a healthy church is one where all members share in being church, and using their God-given gifts to make a complete community. So please pray for Ian as he prepares to come here, and for yourselves and your role as his new flock.

Every blessing to you all. Rev’d Sandra.

PRAYER FOR MAY

Gracious God, we give you thanks for the new beginning we will all share in as our new priest, Ian, and his wife, join us this month. We pray you will bless their ministry among us, and bring new life to our church and our village. We pray too for all those who have recently settled in our village, and as the schools return, we pray for our children, young people, and teachers that in learning together they will gain the skills they will need in life. In Christ’s name. Amen

Come to the Family Services at St.Andrews with children’s activities and crafts

and, if possible, refreshments in the churchyard afterwards where on the 30th and 7th you can meet our new vicar!

10.30am on Sunday 9th and 30th May and Family Communion at 9am on Sunday 7th June

Welcome!! We would like to extend the warmest welcome to our new vicar, the Revd. Dr Ian Mills and his wife Kelly-Ann, as they settle into the Rectory and new life in North Somerset. As such, we have requested a hymn (something with a suitably Irish tradition to make them feel at home!) to be played on Premier Christian Radio in their honour. This is due to be aired on Sun 2nd May in ‘Hearts and Hymns’ presented by Pam Rhodes from 8-10am. (Apologies, this was aired on Sunday 25th April in error. Ed.)

For those of you who may like to tune in, Premier can be found on DAB Digital Radio/Freeview 725 or listen anytime at premierchristianradio.com or via the Premier app. Premier is committed to helping us put our faith at the heart of daily life and to bring Christ to our communities through teaching and worship.

More Nempnett treasures

Now that the scaffolding inside the church has been removed, the carved heads at the base of each of the main roof beams can clearly be seen. They were carved in stone in medieval times, when the church was first built. Each one is different, and they are portraits of actual people, not just random faces. There is a king, a queen, a bishop, a lord and lady (perhaps the local lord of the manor or people who have contributed to the building of the church?) plus three others.

Nempnett church will be reopening for services soon and looks forward to welcoming you all back. Come and join us at 9.00am on Sunday 23rd May, and 9.00am on Sunday 13th June (note the new time of 9.00am!) These services will be taken 17 by Rev. Dr Ian Mills.

SCHOOL NEWS

Easter Celebrations at Chew Stoke Church School Chew Stoke Church School celebrated Easter with a very special craft exhibition. Each child entered two items including Easter cards, Easter baskets and decorated eggs. Normally the children would have made the craft items at home but that wasn’t possible this year due to the pandemic. During the afternoon the children visited the exhibition in their bubbles to view all of the different craft items from across the school. Prizes of Easter eggs were awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each of the categories. Headteacher, Ben Hewett said,’ We are so proud of all of our children, they have worked so hard and produced some amazing items of craft for the exhibition’.

Due to social distancing the school’s traditional Easter service in the village church was not possible this year. Instead the children from Kingfisher Class performed a special Easter assembly which was fantastic- the school was treated to a medley of songs, poems and readings. Luckily the weather was on side and all the pupils were able to socially distance in the playground to watch it.

PARISH COUNCIL REPORT CONTINUED Chew Valley Recreational Trail – Cllr Hicks expressed concerns about the new track that is designated ‘dual purpose’, but that may be taken over by fast road cyclists. His view was noted, and Cllr Warrington will feed this back. Others believed the path wouldn’t be used by the faster cyclists/groups, that they would stick to the roads, the new path is not a cir- cular route and will hopefully be used by walkers and children cycling or amateur cyclists.

Next meeting: Thursday 6th May at 7.30pm via zoom

In the Chew Valley Fund Raising Branch, we are passionate about the RNLI and the life-saving services that it provides to everyone around the UK and in Ireland. In 2019 the RNLI saved 374 lives and helped over 38,700 people. We anticipate that many in the UK will holiday in the UK this summer and so our coastal waters and beaches are going to be busier than ever. The services of the life- boats and the lifeguards are really going to be needed! To get things back on the right track, the RNLI has launched a Spring Appeal and so, as we in the Chew Valley Branch cannot bring you a fundraising event for now, if you can instead make a donation to the Spring Appeal via the RNLI website (https://rnli.org/ ), that will be greatly appreciated.

Into Spring

My interest in field names was renewed when Paul recalled the paddocks owned by his family, which as a child he heard as “Daisy Parrack” and “Walter`s Pad- dock”. Some of the old names give a hint of their nature or history. Stony Brow, Berryfield and Windmill field from my family`s farm in Hampshire. Others names, gleaned locally are Butler`s Mead, Two Oaks, Chapel Ground, Wansdyke End, Binhams, Big Profits, Little Profits and Half-Yards. The latter from Lindsey Suenson- Taylor who said she wasn`t sure if it should be “Profits”or “Prophets”, but I think the former seems to the point! As for “Half-Yards”, she remembers being told that villagers had strips of land there to work for themselves way back in time, so some reference maybe. Wansdyke End is a boundary field and Google gives detail of the Wansdyke early Mediaeval defensive earthwork boundaries – one being south of Bath to south of Bristol. No idea about Binhams! (Any more interesting names please to [email protected]) Back to garden trivia - the tadpole saga! I had to move the tadpole “aquarium” from the greenhouse as the temperature rose to 22 º C ! I rested the container in the top of the pool at 10º and admired the developing tadpoles for a week or two. It appears the Mallards had also been admiring them and couldn`t believe their luck at breakfast being left out for them! Oh well,“ and then there were 6” or so, by which time I`d got fed up and tipped them into the pond to fend for themselves. Later, they were seen in the sunshine against a light coloured stone in the pool, but after a week they were replaced by one of the Monsters of the Deep- a sinister large round black snail which took up their place and the tadpoles were seen no more! One morning a split-second glance saw “Jenny”wren tugging a dangly piece of moss into a gap behind the lintel in the porch. A beautiful nest of beech leaves and moss was built in the porch last year, but seemed not to be used. I am hoping this hidden nest will become the Des. Res. in which a wren family can be raised. It was lovely to see early butterflies in the unexpectedly warm weather we had in the first few days of April. Yellow Brimstone passing by, a Peacock butterfly feeding on a perennial wallflower that I`d just planted! How satisfying! Orange tip butterflies on the cuckoo flower (or milkmaid) and several Tawny Mining Bees need- ing rescue from the greenhouse. Paul felt it warm enough to open the hives at this time and to his surprise they were full of brood and honey. So much so, that he had unexpectedly to make up more frames to give them more room lest they should swarm. This would have been disastrous for them as with wintry weather back within a few days, they would have been unlikely to survive! Lastly, you know those jobs that you really ought to get round to, but don`t fancy doing – the box of a lifetime`s photographs. You know you really should finish the job, when you find yourself hoovering the dust off them- again! Hazel
