  • The Baldons and Nuneham Courtenay Newsletter March 2015
    The Baldons and Nuneham Courtenay Newsletter March 2015 FROM THE VICAR , REVD PAUL CAWTHORNE As Lent arrives, our thoughts move from the celebrations of the wise men to what Jesus taught us about the deeper things of life. St Paul commended as 'fruits of the spirit' the observance of patience, self-control and kindness among love, joy, peace and faithfulness (Galatians 5: 22-23) and in Lent we step back from our habitual self-indulgence to try to see what we can learn by giving things up for the good of others and ourselves. When I lived in Sudan it was a privilege to share in the discipline of Ramadan, which has a lot in common with Lent, with my majority Muslim colleagues. There was a lovely spiritual discipline in enduring the fast from dawn until dusk and offering the tiny discomforts of that up in prayer as a sacrifice to the God who gave so much for love of us. It taught me much I would not have otherwise stopped for long enough to learn. During Lent here in affluent Oxfordshire, what can we show, give up or practise self- control in to make a difference? Can we: • Spare some clothes or food for an asylum-seeker without money or family support marooned in a foreign land after escaping unknown horrors? -ring Asylum Welcome on 01865 722082 and show an open heart. • Stop overindulging in puddings or alcohol and see if energy levels and motivation increase as a result? - try it and you may be surprised! • Give of our time to see what that brings - vow to visit an elderly neighbour when we are feeling most busy or to give the gift of more attention and listening to children rather than rushing them round everywhere.

  • The Baldons and Nuneham Courtenay Newsletter July
    The Baldons and Nuneham Courtenay Newsletter July - August 2010 NOW DELIVERED FREE TO ALL HOUSEHOLDS IN THE BALDONS AND NUNEHAM 2 July - August 2010 Dear Friends, As I write, the World Cup is underway (and England are still in it!), Wimbledon is just around the corner, and the strawberries are starting to turn red. If the hot weather would just come back, it would really feel like summer was here. I’m always pleased when it feels like summer is coming: even though it’s quite a while since I had long holidays with nothing to do, the beginning of summer always seems to promise those weeks of school holiday, which we remember as sunny, warm and fun. We remember playing outside for ages, having weeks of freedom, and we forget the cold wet days, when we sat inside, complaining that we were bored, that there was nothing to do. What are the things you feel nostalgic about, I wonder? Are they times in your life, or places you’ve lived, or to which you have been on holiday? And what are the things which trigger that nostalgia for you – is it a particular smell, or a piece of music? How does it make you feel – is it joyful, like my feeling of freedom at the promise of summer on its way? Or is it terribly sad – reminding you of a lost and much-missed world? Whichever it is, it is something for which to be thankful, and it is part of what makes us who we are today. But it is not something we should wallow in too much, stopping us appreciating the present.
