MISSION GROUP

The Beacon School, Ghana

I have been asked by Samantha and the Mission Group to tell you something about the Beacon School, with which I have family connections. As their next project during the coming six months, the Mission Group have decided to support the School, both prayerfully and financially and invite you, if you wish, to join in this support.

The School was started by my niece, Sarah, and her husband Samuel, who is a Ghana-an, soon after they decided to make their home there in 2004. Initially, it was to be an orphanage, but as this was not found to be necessary in their area of the Country – a few miles north of Accra, the capital – and the realisation that education was completely inadequate, Sarah started to teach their three girls at home. Others soon asked if they could join them, and it was realised that a proper school was the answer, so the Beacon School (the “light”) was formed. Initially this was held in the basement of their new home, which was literally being built above them.

The first intake of the School was 14 pupils, but numbers rapidly grew and it was obvious that a proper building and additional staff were needed. The School was built – like their house – by degrees around them and extra rooms added when funds became available, and so by 2008 numbers of pupils had increased to 140. So progress continues; there are currently between 170 and 180 pupils in a lovely school building, and by 2016 they are hoping to accommodate boarders and also pupils through their secondary education, as the limit at the moment is only to the age of 12 years.

Wonderful achievements with God’s help and more ambitious plans for the future. This has all been done without any official booking. There has been

8 considerable support, both prayerfully and financially by friends in Chesham (my brother Robin’s former parish, where Sarah grew up) and also by the parish of Redbourn (where Rob and Lois now live). The Mission Group are hoping to do the same – certainly for the next six months and invite you, as I said at the start, to join in this project – either prayerfully or financially – or preferably both!

I’ve also been asked to give a presentation to coincide with one of our coffee mornings in September (date to be arranged). This will include 3 short CD’s to show the progress over the years thus far. So look out for the date and do come and join us if you can. i think you will find it interesting. David Smith

A Candle of Prayerful Thought

On Human Rights Day on 10th December 1961 the first Amnesty International candle was lit in St. Martin-in-the-Fields, . That candle, wreathed in barbed wire, has become the iconic symbol of the work undertaken by Amnesty International. A similar candle has been placed in St. James Church with the hope that church members and visitors might spend a moment or two praying for the work of Amnesty and for those men and women, tortured for their beliefs or imprisoned without a fair trial.

Amnesty International is a global movement active in 150 countries and campaigns to end grave abuses of human rights. It was founded in 1961 by Peter Berenson, a British lawyer who was outraged after learning of two Portuguese students imprisoned for raising a toast to freedom. Since then the organisation has grown and developed supporting many men and women who have become prisoners of conscience. Amnesty also offers support to their families.

By 1962 groups had come into being in Australia, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Ireland and Greece. By 1964 1,367 prisoners had been adopted and 329 released. Supporters of Amnesty write to prisoners of conscience throughout the world, work which is much appreciated by those who feel the world has forgotten them. In 1967 Amnesty was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

In 1990 Amnesty’s Urgent Action on torture and extrajudicial executions in Brazil received an immediate response from the then President of Brazil, who said, “We cannot and will not again be a country cited as violent.”

9 And so the work continues to campaign to bring torture to an end and to protect vulnerable communities in countries like the Central African Republic as well as offering hope to individuals by seeking justice for them.

Prayer is work we can all undertake – please allow our Amnesty candle to lead you to pray for those whose lives cry out for justice.

HARVEST

On several Sundays in July we have been thinking from the Gospels of the Day about seed time and harvest. I know we have not yet come round to the Harvest Festival Season but the Combines are out and a particular train of thought has made me think again about the importance of balance in all we do.

What I discovered in dialogue with those involved in the harvest was the menace that Black Grass has become to the cereal crops. In some cases becoming the dominant crop rather than the corn. With the tendency to sow crops earlier black grass is not killed off with autumn cultivation and the fact that it is becoming resistant to herbicides makes it management difficult. It would seem that we need to think again about the way we grow our food.

That is equally true for our lives too, nothing stands still, pressures and problems occur when we think that we can do exactly as we like without taking into consideration the repercussions of the way we live, not only on ourselves but on the society around us. We need to be as sure as we can that what we do does not tip the balance in the wrong direction.

Our world is in rapid change politically at the moment because we have not given enough thought to where actions may eventually lead. We can’t keep on keeping our own wealth and life style intact at the expense of others and not being aware that it is bound to have repercussions later on. The pains of the Holy Land and of Ukraine are not far away problems but can all be traced through the complex history of all of us wanting to have our own way.

The starting point of a restoration of balance is to recognise that we have to change our practice, with Black Grass a return to a more sustainable natural rotation and with our lives a realisation that a sustainable natural relationship with each other based on love will lead to healing and renewal. Please pray for one another as we seek to be learners, disciples and not just people who think we know it all.

Yours Fr Peter

10 Why is black-grass an increasing problem? The majority of black-grass plants now emerge within crops, rather than before sowing when they could be more easily destroyed. Ride & Stride Spilsby Saturday September 13th

ERESBY NEWS

June was a busy month for Eresby Hall. In addition to all the usual activities that happen on a regular basis there were lots of celebrations. Mr and Mrs Goodacre, who are both residents at Eresby, celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary and had a party for family and friends. They are waiting to go for a meal at the Nelson Butt courtesy of Eresby. Sir Peter Tapsell MP visited the home and chatted to many residents. He commented that Eresby is a perfect example of what a residential home ought to be. Mrs Elizabeth Cook celebrated her 100th birthday and her party was well attended by family and friends. The buffet was yet again splendid, thanks to the team in the kitchen. A pianist provided the entertainment which was enjoyed by everyone. Mrs Cook had a wonderful day and it was a joy to be able to share it with her.

11 June 20th was National Care Home Open day and Eresby opened its doors to the local community. Helena Shelton, Manager, stated that with all the bad press surrounding care homes this was an opportunity to open up their doors and share the good work that happens within the home. New ways are needed to involve residents in the local area and the Open Day is a great way of achieving this. The hog roast for residents, families, friends and volunteers followed at 4.00. Polly and Connie were in the tea shop during the day and Janet Enderby's Pimms were really really enjoyed by the visitors. Entertainment was provided by the Midnight Ramblers band, one of the members being the son in law of a resident. Grateful thanks to all who gave up their time. A fantastic evening.

Next month there will be an update on the adventures of 6 residents who are currently in Scarborough on holiday.

The annual unannounced visit from the Trusts internal compliance team has taken place and 2 days were spent assessing the quality of the work of the whole team and assessing if the residents are having a positive experience. The result was an amazing 92.9% and this is due to the care, dedication and hard work by the whole staff team.

Helena would like to say a big THANK YOU to all staff and volunteers for making June a fantastic month. By the way....the rabbits have been named Thunder and Lightening as it was a stormy evening when they arrived.

Date for your diary Summer Fete August 16th.

If you would like any information or are interested in becoming a volunteer or Friend of Eresby Hall please contact the home on 01790 752495. Helena Shelton (Manager) Margaret Cook (Volunteer)

Where do I begin to say thank you for all the support and prayers that I received at the Ordination weekend. It has been a long journey to this point in my life and I owe much to friends and family who have been beside me on the journey. As Bishop David said at my first Presidency at the Eucharist ‘The journey has been a life changing experience, particularly for Peter.’

The Ordination service at was incredible and to have the Holy Spirit present, passed through the ages to the present day in the laying on of hands by the Bishop and , a richness which cannot be described.

Thank you for all those who were able to attend the service and also thank you to all those others who held Teresa and myself in their prayers. On the Sunday over 100 attended the service at St James for the celebration of my first Presidency. The service was supported by the Choir along with Margaret White who accompanied on the organ. Thanks to Peter for his continued support and for Bishop David in his sermon ‘reflection’ and for the Ministry Team in their ongoing support.

Also, thank you to those who organised a splendid meal and for the cakes from Janet and Marion. Marion’s cake was shared at the Welcoming Service for Teresa and myself the following Sunday.

August Thoughts

Football, tennis, motor racing Birth, marriage, death Spring, summer, winter Do you see the connection? They all come in sequence each and every year and we can be sure of them happening. Sport comes through man's competitive nature, life events also come with equal certainty; the seasons still change, year in, year out. If we look at the overall picture of life on our planet there appears to be a constant plan behind everything and not necessarily one devised by mankind. Things which we have not planned still continue to happen. So what is this telling us?

We all like to feel we are in control of ourselves and our individual lives and to a certain extent we are, but frequently our plans go awry and there are unexpected results. A lot has been written about the power of prayer and we are pleased when our prayers are answered. There are times, however, when we don't get what we request and feel surprised at the outcome. Our prayers may perhaps display our selfish motives. Humans like to change things, sometimes for the better, sometimes not and our judgement is often challenged. Change can be good for progress but it is reassuring to know that some things stay constant such as the following on of the seasons. However, the permanence of many life events offers the background of reliability and stability. It is there for all to lean upon whilst attempting to build a better world.

So, where do we find this safe, steady influence in our lives? A good start is to look at how the Bible has survived for thousands of years, with its stories of life and God as creator of the universe. This has been unchanged for centuries and the Christian way of life has provided constancy, certainty and refuge. Yes, we make our own decisions in our day to day lives but are we really doing it alone or is there a major influence behind each and every one of us as individuals? I like to think there is and find it comforting to know I am not alone. We're not on this earth for long and we need to know just what makes us tick so that we can improve our lives and those of others.

Modern times may seem uncertain but history shows us life has always been 22 this way. The one constancy has been the "rod and staff" of Psalm 23 offered by God. All we have to do is accept it. What could be more simple? I.G.

New Vicar in Town

“There’s a new vicar in town with some strange ideas - she doesn’t do lilies, she doesn’t drink tea, she’s no good at cooking and is having to rapidly learn about gardening. She tap dances, plays the bass guitar and, when time permits, can be found having fun with jigsaw puzzles. She is vertically challenged and (occasionally) theologically challenging!

I would like to thank everyone for the welcome I have received since moving to Stickney. The licensing and installation service was certainly memorable - the Bingo Dabbers have pride of place on my mantelpiece!

Now, of course, the work begins, and I have started learning the geography of the Stickney Cluster - geography was never my strong point at school and at the moment all roads look the same, so this may take some time! But I am meeting some special people along the way, people who are approaching my arrival with a renewed optimism and hope for the church of the future.

I know that I will, at times, disappoint and I will also occasionally be disappointed. But the promises made at my licensing were of mutual support and encouragement. In that spirit, let’s be excited by the prospect of journeying together, even if the route taken seems obscure. To help us on our way, I am holding an Open House on Saturday 23 August (2pm - 7pm). Please call in at any time during the afternoon for some light refreshments and a chat. Stay for 5 minutes or 5 hours - the choice is yours (but if it is 5 hours, you will end up doing the washing

up!)”

THE DAY THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

28 June started in much the same way as any other day but I knew that this day would end very differently, that I would be Ordained into the Priesthood. Just before the service began later that afternoon, we were in the chapel at the back of the Cathedral, locked in, but this time the shared our prayer time with us. It was precious time to wait upon God and to listen. 26

As we processed down the aisle I remember taking several deep breaths to calm my nerves as I became very aware of the enormity of all that was about to happen. There were many special moments during the Ordination service. The laying on of hands was of course one of them and the precious moment of having my hands anointed with Chrism Oil, Cheryl moving my stole from the position and placing it round my neck to signify that I was now a . At the Peace turning and seeing Paul near me and giving him a big hug. Then there is the memory of standing round the altar with my fellow Priests with the Bishop as he Presided. There was also the memory of administering communion and two friends who are Roman Catholics, one of whom is a Deacon, kneeling before me for a blessing, a truly humbling experience.

The Lord truly blessed all of us that day. It was lovely to see so many of you at the Ordination and to speak to some of you afterwards and to feel supported by those who could not make it but knowing that I was in their prayers. What a day!

The next morning was amazing. South Ormsby church looked wonderful, thank you so much to everyone that worked so hard, cleaning the church and decorating it with beautiful flowers. It was so touching to see so many people at the service, you all helped to make the service a true reflection of our love for God The Lord has indeed been good to me and I thank him daily for his amazing grace.

The readings, prayers, the singing, truly a group at work together. Alan Robson delivered a memorable sermon which I am sure people will talk about for quite a while, for all the right reasons of course. Though nervous at presiding at the Eucharist for the very first time I was aware of the Holy Spirit’s presence guiding me. It was very special at the end of the service to give God’s Blessing with so many in the congregation; it was I who was truly blessed.

The celebration was a great time to catch up and share in the fun and laughter, not forgetting the food of course!!! Thank you to those ladies who helped behind the scenes, they know who they are! I would like to say a big thank you to Cheryl and Ted for all their support and work. Not forgetting my Mother, Margaret, for her love and support and my brilliant husband, Paul, who has been like a rock, always steady and ready to listen. Last but not least a very BIG THANK YOU to all of you in the South Ormsby Group and wider community, you have kept me in your hearts and in your prayers which means the world to me. In the days ahead may I serve you with humility and love. God’s Blessings to you all Your Teresa

Holidays

Our young ones have worked so hard, not that Mums and Dads and Grandparents and teachers and school bus drivers, you name it haven’t. You have all been giving 100% to ensure a rich and wonderful education for our young ones. There is something quite magical about breaking for summer, again I am not waxing lyrical, I do know the headaches of finding child care whilst working and all of those other headaches. Our young ones at whatever stage in their education, first year, last year, graduation, big wide world of work, whatever, they have all achieved much and should all be very proud and enjoy the feeling of achievement and the feeling of summer days stretching before them. The world is changing dramatically and I do wish each one of you a happy summer.

Congratulations to all of you who have graduated from universities and colleges. Good luck to all of you about to embark into further education. To those of you starting your first job, make it work and be happy. We hope and pray you will all find the fulfilment you seek and deserve.

We also take this opportunity to wish all of our newly qualified teachers good luck, a happy summer and a wholesome and happy teaching career.

Our Love & Prayers are with you all Cheryl 29
