Here Was Also the Lead up To, and Result of the American Presidential Election, Politicians in the UK Resigning, and Much Loved Personalities Dying Dec 2020 / St George, Castle Street, Kendal Jan 2021 www.kendalstgeorge.com From the Priest in Charge Another year is nearly over and what a year it has been. Perhaps remembered best as a year of uncertainty and surprise. Predominantly dominated by the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic and all the changes that has brought to our lives, but there was also the lead up to, and result of the American presidential election, politicians in the UK resigning, and much loved personalities dying. Every month seemed to bring about another earth shaking event in the world. Over 2000 years ago there was another earth shaking event, although very few people recognised it at the time. In fact, it was the best news the world has ever had. The Son of God coming to live among us, born to a young couple in a small town that no one thought important enough to have something important happen in it. Yet there an event occurred that changed life fundamentally. An event that was truly earth shaking as it played out over the next 30 years culminating in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christmas is the time of year when we celebrate that fact. As we prepare for this event through the season of Advent, let us make a conscious effort to rejoice as did the shepherds on that first Christmas and share the good news with everyone we have contact with – albeit in a socially distanced way. The good news that God loves us and wants us to know him, is just as real today and transcends anything that is going on in the world. We may not be able to celebrate Christmas in quite the same way as last year. It’s likely that we won’t spend quite so much time planning gatherings and travelling about visiting friends. Our families may not be able to get together with us. It may in fact give us a bit of space and time to engage with the real meaning and purpose of Christmas. Time to think about who Jesus is and why he came to be one of us. Space to reflect about how amazing it was that God chose to come and be born as one of us. To identify with us, to walk with us, share with us, and above all to experience what we experience. 1 As much as our lives have been disrupted – The fact remains, that at this time of year we have cause to celebrate ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.’ John 3:16 However you spend your Christmas and whoever you spend it with, I pray that this fact will transcend any disappointments or emotions you may be feeling. I wish you all a really joyful Christmas and a peaceful and blessed New Year. With love and prayers , Tricia SACRED SPACE : Reflection on Matthew 1 : 18-25 Read the Bible passage two or three times until you are familiar with it. Then enter the story yourself, becoming a part of it. Take your time over this. In your imagination, take yourself to Nazareth, around 2000 years ago……. You may look around …… what do you see? ….. Feel the warm sun and the gentle breeze ………….. Allow your gaze to rest on a carpenter’s shop …… what can you see there? ………….. Watch the carpenter at work ……….. What is he making? ………. How different are the things he has made from today’s wooden items? ………. Compare his tools to those of a carpenter from today … Is there any modern thing that you wish you could give him? …. And is there anything which you wish you could bring back to modern times? ………… As you engage him in conversation he tells you that the woman to whom he is betrothed to be married is expecting a baby which cannot be his …………. 2 Listen as if hearing it for the first time -, as though you don’t know the end of the story ………………. ……. Listen as he wrestles with the problem of betrayal ……….. Joseph and Mary may have been engaged since they were children – but now their betrothal is a pledge that can only be broken by divorce…………………. And there is another problem - the law states that a woman having intercourse outside marriage should be stoned to death ….. speak to Joseph as he ponders this dilemma. …. And now, listen as an angel appears to Joseph ……………. “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name, Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins” …. Is Joseph afraid to be confronted with an angel? ………… Does he speak to the angel? ………. Try to put yourself in his position. How does he react to this amazing news ….. and however would he explain this to his family and friends ………. What does he imagine the future to hold? ………….. Will he have to cope with ridicule? …. And the baby is to be named Jesus, meaning Saviour …… what does all that imply? …. Speak to Joseph again ………. As Joseph takes Mary home to be his wife, how will their relationship have changed? …………… And now allow your thoughts to turn to God as you place before him your own thoughts ……………… and after you have done so, listen to his reply before returning to the present. Jean Radley From our Parish Registers Funerals 9th November 2020 Peggy Johnstone 17th November 2020 Pat Marshall 3 News From Manna House : Lockdown opening & Winter Shelter and Christmas As an essential service we are still open over this current lockdown. If you or anyone you know needs a takeaway meal, a listening ear or advice on their housing or income issues, they are welcome to come to Manna House. We are open Monday-Friday (Thursday rough sleepers only) from 10am to 1pm. Winter Shelter Update Due to Covid restrictictions we have been working in partnership with SLDC to make sure homeless people are accommodated safely this Winter. We will not be operating an overnight shelter this year but have been asked to continue providing hot meals as we would on a usual shelter night. Our volunteer teams will be cooking and providing hot meals and a listening ear from 1st December to 28th February here at the Stephenson centre off Ann Street. Could you volunteer? We are still short of people to join teams, contact Penny if interested. Christmas Gift Cards from Manna House. Due to Lockdown we have been unable to host our annual Christmas Auction, this will be a great loss to the charity’s income, in its place we have some wonderful gift cards for you to buy. £5 buys a Christmas meal, £10 buys an advice session and £20 buys a warm safe bed for the night. You will receive a beautiful card with original art work from local artist, Stuart Gray and a message inside which says what you have bought in your loved ones name.

Dr. Chris Taylor Dear Sisters and brothers Thank you all so much for the wishes, messages, cards, gifts edible and potable. I think we can eat (posh) ready meals for about three days each side of moving to Wanstead. Such luxury. I know we both appreciate your thoughts and love at this time. It will be strange, but quite exciting, to arrive in East London so close to a very different and possibly rather quiet Advent and Christmas. I’m sure it will be strange here too. Perhaps Carol Singing around the Parishes should make a come-back. As I have said before, we are keeping our house here for holidays and the chance to walk up a few hills – none in Epping Forest, but if you find yourself east of London, we will be living at 13 Wanstead Place, London E11 2SW and would love to see you, if we’re allowed. The churches in the Parish are Christ Church, Wanstead Place, E11, and St Mary’s, Langley Drive E11. I’ve no hesitation in repeating that it’s been a privilege to work alongside everyone across the Team and I look forward to hearing all your news. Do please stay in touch With much love and prayers Chris 5 Children’s pages 6 7 12 ways to avoid stress this Christmas Change your expectations this Christmas. Don’t waste time lamenting what should have been. Instead, try and enjoy whatever is possible this year. Make a list. Include sending cards, buying presents and organising food for the big day. Having a lists helps keep you in control of your life. Set a reduced budget this year. With a pandemic raging, this no time to take on Christmas debt. If you can’t pay for it this month, probably best not to buy it. Exercise each day - it releases happiness-inducing serotonin. That will help you to keep calm and positive over the festive period. Don’t overindulge. Too much alcohol and rich food won’t improve your life. Keep calm and keep kind – urge your family members to try and avoid any flare up of family tensions.
