Amen The Revd. Roy Shaw writes......................... I recently found this Prayer- more a set of aspirations- of Mother Teresa of Calcutta; it’s said to have been written on the wall in the home for children she and her Missionaries of Charity ran in the city. It’s based on some leadership principles worked out in the late 60s for student leaders. As a manifesto for life, it can’t be bettered; it certainly kicks ‘Eat, drink and be merry’ into touch! It took my breath away when I first read it. I leave it with you as something to ponder on, and for us all to aspire to;- People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self- centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. Your vicar, Roy 01423 359003/ [email protected]. NEWS FROM THE CHURCH OF THE EPIPHANY TOCKWITH The launch of Messy Church last month saw 27 young people enter the church. With accompanying adults there were nearly 50 people enjoying the fun and lively afternoon of crafts, stories and singing about Jesus. Children are an integral part of the congregation and are both models of discipleship and disciples themselves, as are the adults who play the same dual roles. At Messy Church you will see an experienced Christian learning from a less experienced one and vice versa; a child teaching an adult; sometimes one family learns from another en masse; sometimes the Christian community demonstrates how to live for Jesus to those who don't yet know him; sometimes a parent teaches a child something. lf discipleship needs a mixture of formal learning, informal learning and social learning, Messy Church has elements of all three as it (formally) explores the Bible through activities and storytelling, provides opportunities for informal conversation and observation, and encourages different levels of social learning both at the gathered Messy Church and in encouragement to take that learned faith back into the home during the rest of the month. At Tockwith Church we recognise that there are a large number of young people in the village that deserve time and commitment. The church has therefore decided to appoint a paid youth worker to work within the Tockwith community part time to help spread the Christian ethos within our church community and school. This is something that Tockwith Church is paying for but is looking for money donations to make this sustainable. If you can help, please contact either Angela Jenkins or Peter Harris. The last time we held a Pet Service at Tockwith Church it was extremely popular. I will long remember one pet was called the name of the owner and vice versa. I don‟t think the owner liked being called Napoleon. At 10am on Sunday 5th October, Tockwith will be hosting the United Parish Service which will be in the form of a Parish blessing of the animals. Come along with your well behaved pets it is sure to be an experience! We are trying out a new fund raising venue on Saturday 18th October when we will be holding a coffee morning in Wetherby Town Hall. Once again we are asking for cakes and buns and help on the day. Contact Angela if you can help. Once again the Church is linking up with the Wetherby Festival to provide an evening of entertainment featuring the Yorkshire Brass Quintet on Saturday 18th October. This is a very talented group of musicians who play a wide range of music from classical to jazz. If you heard them at Tockwith Show you will know already how good they are. The Quintet was formed in 2007 and made up of professional musicians who work in the industry full time as performers and educators. They are in high demand undertaking a large number of engagements including events at the Royal Armouries for the Yorkshire Television Awards, York Races and the recent Yorkshire Day Celebrations in Bradford. A great opportunity to hear music played at its best. See the ad later in the magazine for details on how you can obtain tickets. If you have taken a walk round to the back church yard you will no doubt have noticed that several pieces of stone have been moved from the South Transept wall. These stones have become so eroded that water is seeping into the church and needed repairing before more serious damage was caused. In keeping with all old buildings Tockwith Church does cost a tremendous amount of money to maintain literally running into thousands of pounds which far exceeds what it receives from church collections and grants so this is the reason why we need to continually fund raise. This work is costing in the region of £6,000. This piece has been written prior to the Comedy and Curry Night on 27th September so there will be a report in the November Magazine. nrw Do you need a lift or can you provide a lift to the United Parish Service at Rufforth 10.00am Sunday 2nd November Meet at the church gates at 9.30am Fantastic Acts! Here is the story of the Book of Acts, but not like you‟ve seen it before. Fantastic Acts! is the Riding Lights Theatre Company‟s new show, currently on tour across the UK. Fun, vitality and inspiration abound in this vividly told story of the remarkable lives of the men and women who formed the first churches. For full tour schedule see www.ridinglights.org/acts. Youth Work from Scratch: Where do you even start? The Church of England does recognize the importance of Youth Ministry and by co- incidence as we start to do more work ourselves within Tockwith, Youth ministry expert Martin Saunders wrote passionately recently about the need for churches to re-embrace work with young people. If we‟re going to see the statistics about young people and church start to change, we simply need more churches to invest themselves in a ministry to youth. This might sound terrifying, but it‟s actually exciting; launching a youth ministry in your church is not simply a way to import „new blood‟ into your pews, but a means by which you can reinvigorate your entire congregation. There is one question however that stumps many who would love to see more young people in their church: where do I start? Immediately, problems rush in to block our path: concerns about resources, venue, finding enough volunteers, and of course the worry that no young people will want to engage with us. All these things can be overcome, but they‟re not the first issue to attend to. Instead, good youth ministry starts with listening. Before we start worrying about logistics; before we rush ahead with the grand plan we‟ve been brewing to transform the landscape for teenagers in our town, it‟s vital that we first spend some time listening, and in several directions: 1) Listen to God: It‟s easy in the rush of excitement around something new to forget that we desperately need the divine spark of God‟s creativity and power. It‟s too easy to forget that it‟s not our mission – but in fact we‟re called to join in with what He is already doing in our community. So we begin by listening to him, asking him what He wants us to do for local young people.

  • Yorkshire Swale Flood History 2013
    Yorkshire Swale flood history 2013 Sources The greater part of the information for the River Swale comes from a comprehensive PhD thesis by Hugh Bowen Willliams to the University of Leeds in 1957.He in turn has derived his information from newspaper reports, diaries, local topographic descriptions, minutes of Local Authority and Highway Board and, further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts. The information is supplemented by various conversations which Williams had with farmers who owned land adjacent to the river. Where possible the height of the flood at the nearest cross- section of the place referred to in the notes is given. This has either been levelled or estimated from the available data. Together with the level above Ordnance Datum (feet) and the section in question there is given (in brackets) the height of the flood above normal water level. Information is also included from the neighbouring dales (mainly Wensleydale and Teesdale) as this gives some indication of conditions in Swaledale. Williams indicates that this is by no means a complete list, but probably contains most of the major floods in the last 200 years, together with some of the smaller ones in the last 70 years. Date and Rainfall Description sources 11 Sep 1673 Spate carried away dwelling house at Brompton-on-Swale. Burnsell Bridge on the Wharfe was washed away. North Riding Selseth Bridge in the Parish of Ranbaldkirke became ruinous by reason of the late great storm. Quarter Sessions (NRQS) ?

  • Home from Holland
    Back to Press Cuttings Title 1945 Press Cuttings Source Knaresborough Post 6 January 1945 HOME FROM HOLLAND Knaresborough Man’s Tribute to the Dutch At six o’clock on Wednesday morning, Sapper Harold Stocks, R.E., knocked on the door of his home 10 at 18 Scriven Road, Knaresborough, and received a joyous welcome from his wife, who had expected his arrival the previous night. He was also given a welcome by his young son and a baby daughter, born last October, whom he had never seen. Sapper Stocks is a Harrogate man, whose mother lives at 11 Pine Street, and before joining up in 1942, was in the building trade employed by Messrs C. A. Nettleton and Co. of Harrogate. He went to France on “D Day” and landed with the assault troops. He referred, in an interview with a Press representative, to the Nijmegen sector and to Eindhoven, and spoke very appreciatively of the kindness of the Dutch people. “When I got news of the birth of my little daughter,” he said, “the people in the house in which I was billeted made all kinds of little dresses for me to bring home. They invited us to drink their coffee, and though we didn’t want to take their food we could not refuse 20 without offending them.” Whilst in Holland he met a Belgian woman who once appeared in a conjuring act in the Royal Hall when it was known as the Kursaal. She had married a Dutchman who owned three cinemas in Eindhoven. He had also met three other Harrogate men – Keith Purchase, who is in the C.M.P., Jack Horner, of Bilton, his brother in law, and Arthur Rankine, son of the late “Tommy” Rankine.
