Granville ‘John’ King 24 Feb 1932 - 13 Dec 2019 John, born in Harrow, was the second son in a family of three boys and three girls. They moved in 1936 to Digswell near Garden City. John, along with one of his brothers, attended Alleynes Boys Grammar School, , travelling there by steam train. They would only leave home when they heard the train crossing the , race to the station and arrive just in time, although they didn't always have time to use the footbridge to cross the tracks. After qualifying in Canada as an RAF navigator during his National Service he went to Downing College, Cambridge for four years to read history and later theology. Whilst at Cambridge John met C.S. Lewis, strengthening his love of the Narnia stories. John loved sport. He hurdled for Cambridge, played hockey till his 50s, cricket till his 60s and Scottish Country Dancing till his late 70s. On leaving college he taught in the USA for a year before returning to the UK and entered business management. After working with Norvic and Reeds Paper he began a successful career with IBM until his retirement in 1992. In 1959 he married Jan and they had two daughters and a son, with now six grandchildren. John’s second marriage in 1994 was to Anne when they moved to Belsize. In addition to C.S. Lewis John’s interests were art, cricket, choral singing, church, music, Shakespeare, and Scottish Country Dancing. He ran successful Breakfasts for Men for many years with excellent speakers from the wider Christian community. His paintings were often to be seen in the Chipperfield Horticultural shows and for many years he sang with the Chiltern Choir and the St Paul's Church choir.

The Churches in Chipperfield

ST PAUL’S PARISH CHURCH THE BAPTIST CHURCH www.hcsp.net Minister Vacant Incumbent Rev.

ST PAUL’S AND HOLY CROSS I wonder how many have kept their New Year Resolutions? We all make these wonderful commitments to change, don’t we? Whether it’s to transform or alter our practices, often motivated by health, wellbeing or a spiritual challenge. As we drift into March we are three months in and we will either be patting ourselves on the back or settled with the fact that maybe it was too much. In the Bible I am reminded of the rich young ruler who had it all in both the religious and the world community. He had been prudent, respectful to both God and his family and successful; an ideal man with all the right answers, looking, I am sure, like the person in the 'after' picture of purchasing the latest fad, weight training device or face cream. However, at an encounter one day by the River Jordan he met his tipping point. Looking intently and touched by the man’s passion Jesus said, “But one thing you lack”, and it was something he could not afford or would strain to achieve, it was simply to give away and to follow. I’m sure many would at this say, but why? Success, maturity and wealth can bring help and aid to many. However, Jesus went to the core, what he needed to do next, his god of self-security had taken over. This March, as we come to terms with success or failure in our lives and reflect on where we are, and as Lent challenges us afresh, we have another chance to respond and, like the rich young ruler, what will be our response? Let’s not let the cover of perceived success and security stop the message of Jesus touching us this spring. Let’s, together, allow His love to permeate us and take the next step. ST PAUL’S PARISH REGISTER Ian Chantrell, Churchwarden

We commend to God's merciful keeping Funeral OUR LADY MOTHER OF THE SAVIOUR RC CHURCH Patricia Beavis - 23 January Lent is upon us. In our younger minds, and probably personal recollections, it seemed to be a period laced with gloom and doom. “What are you giving up for Lent?” we would be asked. If Interment of Ashes we were young, the prospect of perhaps a sweet or chocolate famine wouldn’t be at all welcome! Richard Noyelle - 22 January Of course, Jesus prepared for his public ministry by going into the desert and fasting for forty Brian Robinson - 3 February days. Lent reflects that, traditionally linked to some form of penance and self-mortification. All very laudable, but perhaps there is a different way of looking at this season as it starts our journey towards the triumph, then tragedy, of Holy Week which then suddenly brings to us the salvation of the risen Christ. ST PAUL’S AND HOLY CROSS Lent doesn’t have to be all about negative things. It is an opportunity to rebuild our BENEFICE OFFICE HOURS relationships with God; to be reconciled with Him. (2 Corinthians 5: 20 to 6: 2) That is best Tuesday 10.30am - 2.45pm brought about through the power of prayer, and at Our Lady’s we are holding a Lenten programme based on missionary zeal to encourage us to engage more deeply in the Thursday 9.15am - 2.45pm reconciliation process. Our transgressions cause us to distance ourselves from God. “Return Friday 9.15am - 1.30pm to me” says the Lord. “Return with all your heart!”.

A central passage of the Baptism ceremony involves asking 01923 264377 godparents to rebut the very same temptations on behalf of the infant; the material World, the weakness of the Flesh and the guile of the Devil himself.

A Spring In Their Tails CHIPPERFIELD I have been busy chopping my way through the brambles to take the tubes off the young trees in PARISH COUNCIL David’s Wood. It’s quite a job; I seem to have only giant, very prickly brambles and my legs have suffered. Council meeting The whole area is a mass of little pathways but you Tuesday 3 March: 7.45pm have to be less than 2ft tall to use them. It must be Planning Committee 'Fox/Badger Junction' most of the time, a place to lie Tuesday 3 and 24 March: up undisturbed and unseen. There are a lot of last 7.15pm year’s birds' nests too, so I am trying to get the job done before they start to nest again.

As I took the washing out a few minutes later there was a terrific commotion in Monday and Friday 3-4pm David’s Wood. I don’t know if it was the vixen giving them the brush off or a fight among her followers, Tuesday and Thursday but there was a lot of squalling and swearing. At this time of year foxes are at their most vocal; their 10am-12.30pm. haunting screams, so loved by the sound effects departments on TV films, filling the night air.
