High Days and Holy Days for January

1 The naming of Jesus 1 Have you ever wondered where the name ‘Jesus’ comes from? 2 Basil the Great - champion of the Church 2 Basil and Gregory - lives of costly discipleship 5 Simeon Stylites - one of the weirder saints! 6 Epiphany 6 Where did the Wise Men come from? 6 What about the gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh? 8 Nathalan - an early farmer in Scotland 11 Mary Slessor – missionary 12 Antony Pucci - poor, plain and tongue-tied 13 Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers 14 Felix of Nola - saved by a spider’s web 17 Anthony of Egypt - hermit who defied an emperor 18 Amy Carmichael, founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship 21 Meinrad (d 861) - victim of grievous bodily harm 21 St Agnes - child martyr of Rome, 304AD 22 Vincent of Saragossa - first martyr of Spain 25 The Conversion of St Paul 25 St Paul – the first Christian intellectual 31 Maedoc of Ferns

12th Jan: St Antony Pucci: poor, plain and tongue-tied If you have nothing much going for you, Antony Pucci (1819-92) should be your patron saint. He came from nowhere – a peasant family in Tuscany. He went nowhere – he spent his life as a parish priest in the Tuscan city of Viareggio. He was unattractive to look at. He wasn’t good with words – people found him awkward and shy. So why do people still remember him today? Because Antony Pucci used the one gift he did have in the service of others. He was an excellent organiser, and he served his people brilliantly. His care for the sick in the epidemics of 1854 and 1866 was outstanding. He even set up the first seaside nursing homes for poorly children. Antony Pucci used to say that organisation is the servant of charity, not its substitute. But he used his gift for organisation as a way of showing his charity, and for that he was loved. So – if your family is nothing to shout about, if you wince when you look in the mirror in the morning, if you stand tongue-tied in most social situations, don’t despair. Ask God to show you what gift He HAS given you, and use it in the service of others. And in giving to them, you will receive! It is when we lose our lives for His sake, in His service, that we truly find them.

Some thoughts for the year ahead… It is what we do with our solitude that makes us fit for company. – CS Lewis Friendship flourishes at the fountain of forgiveness. – William A Ward There is nothing stronger than gentleness. – Ralph W Sockman Love your neighbour, yet pull not down your hedge. – George Herbert Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind. – has been attributed to Ritu Ghatourney Speak your kind words soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late. – Anon I know where I am. I’ve been lost here before. – Anon We tolerate shapes in human beings that would horrify us if we saw them in a horse. – W R Inge, a former Dean of St Paul’s.

l Five Ways to Welcome Wildlife

January is the time for new starts so why not try to make your churchyard more wildlife friendly in 2021? Here are five simple things to try, start with one or two. 1 Create a meadow - choose an area of grass in full sun, currently mown short. Leave it uncut for about 14 weeks over the spring and summer. See how many wildflowers come up naturally, you will probably be surprised. Scythe or strim the long grass, rake it up and remove it to a compost heap or use it to make hay. 2 Help your veteran trees - churchyards are fantastic for veteran trees, particularly yews. Gently clear below veteran and ancient trees, removing young saplings, piles of grass cuttings, sheds, grave spoil, old bottles and anything else that is there! Always remove ivy from yew trees but no need to do so from other trees unless advised to by an arboriculture expert. 3 Give wildlife a home - great fun for community events, how about making bird and bat boxes, bug hotels, deadwood piles and compost bays. Swift boxes can fit behind the church tower louvres. Try a range of different sized bird boxes, including open fronted ones for Spotted Flycatcher and Robin. Place a deadwood pile in a shady spot for frogs, newts, slow worm and hedgehogs to feast on the invertebrates there. 4 Be a little untidy – leave an area of tussocky grassland or scrub, perhaps against a wall or round the back. Cut and clear this every two or three years, doing a section each year. This will be fantastic shelter and great for overwintering invertebrates as well as amphibians and reptiles. Hedgehogs love places like this too. 5 Plant for pollinators – fill your flowerbeds or planters with species that are useful to insects. Include native plants and grasses as well as early and late flowering plants. How about some herbs which people can enjoy too? The wildflower Viper’s Bugloss is outstanding for pollinators and very attractive too.

Enjoy watching the wildlife which will take advantage of these features and please tell us what you see. All the best, Harriet Carty

Post-Christmas money worries? An article from Revd Cassisus Francis of our Transforming Communities Together partnership

Do you ever make new year resolutions? I have to admit that I rarely do either, but when it comes to thinking about money for 2021 I am willing to make an exception. Given the last year that we have all had to endure, making some decisions about how to take care of our finances would be a good way to start this new year. Here are some ideas to help you make the most of your money and use it for the things you truly value.

1. Take some time to think about your spending habits – How can you use your money for things you really appreciate, rather than finding you’ve spent lots on impulse buys or hype? It’s good to pause and reflect: ”Do I really want this”, “Can I afford it or will I worry about what I’ve spent?”, “If I spend this, what does that mean for my other plans?”. 2. Review your subscriptions - Grab a pen and dig out your bank statements for the last six months and have a look at the subscriptions and direct debits you have going out. Ask yourself where you can cut back, what you could stop, what have you forgotten about, and what would you love to keep. This might also be a time to review your charitable giving – which giving will you sustain, and which might change? 3. Consider the 50/30/20 rule for budgeting - the 50/30/20 approach can help you manage your spending by focusing on three main areas: aim to spend no more than 50% of your income on Must-Haves (the stuff you need, e.g., rent/mortgage, bills, food, transport); aim for no more than 30% of your income to go on Wants (just for fun, e.g., dining out, hobbies, Netflix, travel); and try to set aside 20% of your income on Savings [and Giving] (e.g., emergency fund, retirement, debt repayments, charitable donations, tithing). 4. Do a yearly costs budgeting exercise – We all know that there are regular events that still manage to creep up on us. So why not think ahead - print off a blank calendar and mark the important days and events (the fun ones like birthdays, and the less fun ones like the car MOT). Write down how much each important item will cost, and try to save a small amount each month to reach your goal. There are tools like Christmas Money Planner that can help with some of the big events so they can be affordable and enjoyable. 5. What tips can help you to make the best use of your money? – Sign up to get regular updates from a website like MoneySavingExpert or Citizens Advice. If you prefer to listen instead of read why not try a podcast? Tune in to BBC Radio 4’s Money Box or Spotify’s Cash Chats with Andy Webb. 6. Have conversations about money early – Talking about money challenges and debt can be difficult, but it’s best not to ignore it. You may find our resource Jesus Money cards helpful. If you feel as if your debts are out of control charities like National Debtline, Money Advice Service and Christians Against Poverty are great places to get help. 7. Consider opening a savings account –your local credit union can be a great place to start – even saving a little can make a real difference! 8. Talk to children early about managing money – you could start the year doing an exercise with your children or grandchildren to get them to think about money and saving – maybe have a fun challenge to save up for something special.

Wishing you a blessed New Year.

From the Vicar

Happy 2021!

It’s been a long time coming, but the New Year has dawned and 2020 has gone. As I write this letter, it’s not clear what 2021 will bring, especially whether or not the year will begin with another ‘lockdown’ – hence you’ll find two rotas on the back page, one to cover each eventuality.

The rhythm of the church continues, though, in the way it has for the last two thousand years, and this month we celebrate Epiphany, when we remember the Magi from the East who followed a star to find the baby Jesus: ‘Where is He?’ (Matthew 2:1).

At the start of a New Year, amid the uncertainty of the pandemic are we asking the same question? The gifts they offered show us how we can find Him in the uncertainty of the coming year: ‘they presented Him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.’ (2:11).

The gift of gold reflects that the Magi saw in the baby a king, destined to rule over us all. In this coming year we need to remember that Jesus is on the throne, the seat of power and authority in the whole universe. Will we crown Him king of our lives and dedicate all that we are and do to Him?

The gift of frankincense reflects that the visitors saw not just an earthly king, but God in human flesh. Incense symbolises the prayers of God’s people and so this gift reminds us that God is worthy of our worship and prayer. Will we offer our praise and prayer, as we seek God to guide us through the uncertainties of this time?

The gift of myrrh reflects that these astrologers saw beyond the baby’s birth to his life. Myrrh was a traditional ingredient in medicines, and was used in healing, so this gift reminds us that in his ministry, Jesus healed many people – and not just physically, but mentally, physically, and emotionally too. Will we seek him and his healing?

As we face this New Year, with all its unknowns, we can be confident that Jesus knows and understands our experience, and what we will face: and that he walks alongside us.

Are we ready to trust Him?
