It was a little disappointing to read in the press over the Easter weekend in April that a significant number of people who claim the Christian faith do not, apparently, believe in the resurrection! Personally I’m not sure how that works, for the whole point of the Christian message depends on the resurrection. Without it we can hardly claim the Christian badge. By the same token we can’t have Easter (resurrection) without Good Friday (Christ’s death), and while our churches can be predictably busy on Easter Day, we often find them sadly empty on the preceding Friday. They used to say in Jesus’ time that of the two main religious parties, while the Pharisees did believe in resurrection, the Sadducees didn’t – which was why they were so sad-u-see!! That said, the Church makes the most of the Easter celebration, not just for one weekend, but for a full 50 days right through to the Ascension and Pentecost. So the month of May is a real celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We mark the Ascension of Jesus (his return to heaven and his Father) on the 25th May in our usual way at St Andrew’s Chew Magna with a short service on top of the tower at 7.30am. If you’ve never been come and join us, and enjoy the best view of the village you’ll get! More seriously this signals for us the ‘Kingship’ of Christ who is above and over all things in a real sense. Our bishop has called us to make the most of this particular ten days leading up to Pentecost by praying for God’s Kingdom to come on earth. The phrase is familiar enough to us from the Lord’s Prayer, but we can assume Jesus put it in because he thought it was important. So our churches will be joining together right across the Diocese for this “Thy Kingdom Come” prayer call, as we seek to really root our faith in God and see Him at work in our communities. The old adage PUSH (pray until something happens) really does work! I commend it to you for your prayers. One other event this

  • News for May 2017 Thursday 4Th May 2017. Bitton to Shoscombe
    News for May 2017 Thursday 4th May 2017. Bitton to Shoscombe. Report from Pete Campbell: So, summery weather is virtually here. I know this because at Bitton station this morning there were nineteen BTOTC riders with almost all in shorts or else those long shorts which go over your knees which I suppose have a name but I don't know what it is. And summer bikes are appearing with no mudguards. Mike Finch led today's ride and he'd engineered a route which included old familiar lanes and some places I don't remember ever seeing before. The cycle path in the Bath direction led into Saltford and straight across the A4 without stopping - the traffic lights had just changed from red but cycle-friendly motorists waved us through. I've been due south into Marksbury lots of times, but Mike took us west via Compton Dando and Hunstrete before going back east to Priston. Years ago I went to Priston Mill with my primary school-aged children and I've not been back since. Today we slowed at the turning to the mill as the police were there, looking after a driver who'd left the mill, turned into the lane to Priston, and stranded the car on a grass bank. It was an off-roady Volvo which was clearly not off-roady enough. They didn't need our help, so onwards. We'd already had one climb out of Hunstrete, and we had more to look forward to. East out of Priston is always a bit of a challenge getting to the top of the rise.
