Farewell from Revd Liz Hassall

This will be my final letter for the Village Link as we depart for in early December. Since I announced my departure earlier in the summer I have been really moved by all the messages I have received from people both within the churches and from the wider community. Thank you all very much – it is so reassuring to hear that my work here has been appreciated.

When I arrived here in January 2013, I had never been a rector before, just a curate, so it was something of a steep learning curve. You have all been very gracious while I learned how to inhabit this role – a learning journey which continues to this day. There is rarely a dull moment in rural ministry! In my work I have shared parts of many of your family lives, often at the saddest or happiest times. It has been a true privilege to step into your lives at these times – thank you for enabling me to fulfil my calling.

Throughout my time here, you have made our whole family feel so welcome in your villages. Phil, Toby, Jenny and I are all sad to leave so many friends behind but we take nearly 8 years of happy memories with us.

The main reason for my being here at all is following God’s call to be a priest in these villages and to bring the good news of Jesus Christ and the assurance of God’s love for you all. It is often hard for me to see the fruit of my work but I do know that I am leaving behind churches with many faithful disciples among the congregations. I am confident that they, and the clergy who will provide cover during the vacancy, will continue God’s work here. You probably know someone in your village who goes to church – why not ask them about how they came to be active worshippers and maybe join them one day? New people will always be welcome in our churches, whether for a one-off visit or more frequently.

2 Cancel Christmas? In a year where many, if not most, of our Christmas traditions are going to be adapted or set aside, the Christian message of Christmas remains the same. In uncomfortable circumstances, separated from family and friends, a young couple called Mary and Joseph took shelter and a baby called Jesus was born into the world. While the authorities searched him out to destroy him, it was the key-worker shepherds who recognised his significance and came to marvel. God’s great gift of love to the world was this helpless baby: the most vulnerable and powerless, but also with the greatest potential to change the world.

Wherever you find yourself at Christmas, and however lonely and despondent you feel, know that God’s gift of love into the world was sent for you too and the Church across the world is praying for you.

Last Word I leave you with the verse from John’s gospel that is probably the shortest summary of the message of Christianity.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. John 3:16 (NRSV)

Lockdown and future services. Almost to the second after my copy of Village Link landed on the doormat last month, a new lockdown was announced and nearly everything planned for November was cancelled. At the moment, we hope that lockdown will be lifted on 2nd December and our planned services for December will go ahead. We are, however, in the hands of government restrictions. Even assuming everything happens as planned, Christmas services will be rather different to previous years, especially with the current rules prohibiting congregational singing. We do still hope to be able to welcome you into Church but social distancing requirements mean that numbers are restricted. We would hate to disappoint you so please book with the relevant warden using the phone numbers on page 16.

Revd Liz’s welcome service at York City Centre Churches In more normal times, there would be an open invitation for everyone in these parishes to attend my welcome service. Covid restrictions mean that won’t be possible. However, I would like to invite you to join the service online. It will be on the 15th of December at 7.30pm and you can find the link on the St Olave’s church website: https://stolaveschurch.org.uk/ or it will be published in the weekly Byland Churches email newsletter – contact Carol Colbourne (page 16) to join the list.

3 Current state of church buildings access Current opening periods are as follows:

Brandsby - closed Carlton - TBC - open daily - Sunday 1pm - 4pm; Thursday 9am to 1pm Husthwaite - Sunday 9am - 1pm; Wednesday 2pm to 6pm Wass - currently closed - opening soon – contact John Foster for details

Most of our church communities do not have the capacity to clean the church daily so the alternative is to have a window of 72 hours between opening periods. Please be patient as we work within government rules and church guidelines. Opening times will be posted on noticeboards outside churches, on bylandchurches.net and on A Church Near You. Please contact your churchwarden (contact details on page 16).

The editorial team wishes everyone a happy and blessed Christmas and a peaceful, hopeful and more fulfilling New Year.

Any events which may be listed in the December & January edition of the Village Link are only provisional, as the Coronavirus situation changes on a daily basis. You are advised to seek up to date advice before you try to attend any event. Important message to all contributors: The deadline for articles for February's 2021 Village Link is the 15th January Please send them to [email protected] Thank You.

4 In the Midst of the Garden – XIV

All right, I know. Pride comes before a fall and all that. So I confess that my shallots this year were a disaster – and it was definitely not my fault (but he would say that, wouldn’t he!). No really, let me tell you the tale.

I ordered them from our new seedsman who supplied all my vegetable seeds at the beginning of the year. When I opened the shallots about half of them were showing signs of rot. So I complained. They didn’t apologize (which annoyed me) but simply sent another lot but without charge. These weren’t a great deal better. Anyway, I selected the best, planted them and they grew all right. But once they were drying off they mostly started to grow mouldy and in the end I only had a handful of decent shallots which we have finished already.

Not only shallots either. They sent a very odd selection of sprouting broccoli which mostly died off and I asked for curled parsley and they sent me, I discovered, a mixture of that and flat-leaved parsley which (in spite of it being fashionable) I prefer to avoid.

So guess who won’t get our order this year.

Looking around for an alternative supplier our daughter said she had been using a company called Real Seeds. We looked them up on line and liked what we saw. They are not conventional. They grow the majority of the seeds, properly dried and stored, themselves. They aim, they say, “to offer the very best seed of the best varieties we can find.” I like the facts that they are a family business, Ben and Kate, the former being a plant scientist, and that the couple and all their employees get paid exactly the same hourly rate.

The list of what they provide you will find if you look up Real Seeds on the web and you will need to be quick because nearly all their packets of seed are limited in number. We’ve decided we shall have a go with the ones we like and then wander off perhaps to BATA to fill the gaps. I’ll let you know how it all turns out.

6 6th December: St Nicholas – a much-loved saint

One account of how Father Christmas began tells of a man named Nicholas who was born in the third century in the Greek village of Patara, on what is today the southern coast of Turkey. His family were both devout and wealthy, and when his parents died in an epidemic, Nicholas decided to use his inheritance to help people. He gave to the needy, the sick, the suffering. He dedicated his whole life to God’s service and was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. As a bishop in later life, he joined other bishops and priests in prison under the emperor Diocletian’s fierce persecution of Christians across the Roman Empire.

Finally released, Nicholas was all the more determined to shed abroad the news of God’s love. He did so by giving. One story of his generosity explains why we hang Christmas stockings over our mantelpieces today. There was a poor family with three daughters who needed dowries if they were to St Nicholas, marry, and not be sold into slavery. Nicholas heard Husthwaite Church of their plight and tossed three bags of gold into their Photo by John Ovenston home through an open window – thus saving the girls from a life of misery.

The bags of gold landed in stockings or shoes left before the fire to dry. Hence the custom of children hanging out stockings – in the hope of attracting presents of their own from St Nicholas - on Christmas Eve. That is why three gold balls, sometimes represented as oranges, are one of the symbols of St Nicholas.

The example of St Nicholas has never been forgotten - in bygone years boys in Germany and Poland would dress up as bishops on 6th December and beg alms for the poor. In the Netherlands and Belgium ‘St Nicholas’ would arrive on a steamship from Spain to ride a white horse on his gift-giving rounds. To this day, 6th December is still the main day for gift-giving and merry-making in much of Europe. Many people feel that simple gift-giving in early Advent helps preserve a Christmas Day focus on the Christ Child.

10 The one benefit of a Covid Christmas?

A Covid Christmas (no more than six) could actually help take some financial pressure off you, according to Martin Lewis, the personal finance expert.

The Money Saving Expert founder recently pointed out that because of the enormous pressure on people to spend, spend spend at Christmas, the festive period has become one of the ‘biggest causes of debt and misery’ in the UK.

This year, though, could be different. Most of us will be visiting fewer people, buying fewer presents and having smaller dinners. So, ‘it might just take the pressure off people.’

All Saints Brandsby

Nobody quite knows what the position of the churches might be after the end of the lockdown on December 2nd, but if we are permitted to celebrate Christmas in our churches, though obviously under strict conditions, then Brandsby Church plans to have two public services.

Carol Service by Candlelight – Sunday 13th December at 4.00pm

This will be a meditative service with carols (hummed), music to listen to including, we hope, an Orthodox Christian soloist and a flautist, thoughtful spoken contributions (no sermon) and quiet prayer.

Christmas Day Eucharist – 25th December at 10.30am

The usual Common Worship Eucharist with music to listen to (though, alas, no singing).

If these are permitted to go ahead we shall of course have to restrict numbers in our rather small church. So if you are planning to come to either of these please phone one of us in good time. If there are too many of you wanting to come we may, we are sorry to say, have to say ‘No room at the Inn’.

In addition may we add:

Sunday 6th December - 10.30am Eucharist

The November “Village Link” accidentally omitted to say that there will be a eucharist, national rules permitting, on the first Sunday in December.

News from Crayke Crayke Churchyard Tidy Up - A huge thank you To all those willing volunteers who came to prune the front churchyard hedges and trees. Despite very inclement weather, we all managed to do a great job. Thanks to John Chappell, John Zywica and Hugh Porter for returning at a later date to prune the hedges at the back. Thanks, also, to Andrew Warriner for removing and disposing of all the clippings.

Andrew would have been proud of you! Jane Sidders

A “Thank you” from Crayke PCC At our recent annual meeting, delayed this year from its usual time of April, we were reminded again of just how many people help and support “Church in Crayke” in so many different ways – and I know it is the same in all of our Churches and villages. It may be cleaning, delivering, flowers, ringing bells, tidying churchyards, locking/unlocking the building, maintenance, helping with services - and much more besides – and it is often done quietly in the background without fuss. This community spirit of generous giving - of skills, time and money - is wonderful and very much appreciated. Thank you all. Crayke PCC
