Most of the plants which had been donated to In Bloom have now been sold with the funds going to In Bloom. Thanks to Gina Simpson for displaying them in her front garden and thanks to those of you who have bought them. Future events The next meeting of the Village in Bloom team will take place on Tuesday 15th September 2020 at 2.00 pm at the SRA. The meeting will be held outside the Club House under the shelter of the overhanging roof. Help needed We still need more help with the maintenance of the containers and ground beds. Some of our volunteers do have quite a lot of beds and containers to look after and would welcome some help. Visits As gardens are now opening again and if you need to entertain some youngsters why not try Sledmere? The children’s playpark and the Maize Maze are open. The walled garden is worth a visit. https://www.sledmerehouse.com/visiting/book-online For more information on Village in Bloom please contact: Gina Simpson at: [email protected] or on 01377 270173 or Heather Teare at [email protected] or on 01377 270187 All offers of help are welcome. 6 THE BENEFICE OF HUTTON CRANSWICK WITH SKERNE, WATTON AND BESWICK AND THE BENEFICE OF NAFFERTON with WANSFORD MINISTRY TEAM Rev’d Simon Elliott Vicar 01377 271592 or 07958 398307 E mail: [email protected] Mrs Gwyneth Southall Reader 01377 253572 Miss Trish Barker Reader 01377 270091 Mr Martin Adams Reader 01377 270120 Mr Michael Searle Recognised Parish Assistant Mrs Carol Searle Recognised Parish Assistant Anyone wishing to arrange a wedding or a baptism please contact Revd Simon Elliott CHURCHWARDENS St Peter's, Hutton Cranswick St Mary's, Watton All Saints, Nafferton Dr Robin Freeman 01377 270547 Mr Tony Pexton 01377 270281 Mr Michael Anderson 01377 254410 Mr Michael Searle 01377 271566 Mrs Joanne Blacker 01377 270228 Mr Brian Fairfield 01377 538195 St Leonard's, Skerne Mrs Margaret Brennand St Margaret's, Beswick St Mary's, Wansford 01377 252157 Mr John Duggleby 01377 270229 Mr John Seaton 01377 255592 Mr Nick Minns 01377 255600 Following the recent change in government guidelines, St Peter’s church is now open for private prayer and public worship. The church is open each Sunday between 3.00pm and 4.00pm for private prayer, with appropriate social distancing in place. A short service of evening prayer is planned for 4.00pm, each Sunday, lasting around 20/25 minutes, again with social distancing in place. It may be necessary to change our plans for public worship at short notice, so it is always best to keep a check on the church noticeboard. We appreciate that not everybody feels ready to return to our church building, and we continue to meet weekly via Zoom. There is a short (circa 20 mins) service at 10.00am, with bible reading and prayers, and then a second service at 10.45am which adds some hymns. If would like to join us for this worship, please e-mail Revd Simon Elliott ([email protected]) or Martin Adams ([email protected]) and they will send you the full details. We look forward to welcoming you. We look forward to welcoming you. 7 What is it that is really important in our lives? The past few months have been a strange time, and if nothing else, it has given us an opportunity to think – think about what we do, how we spend our time. We have also had the chance to think about who, or what is really important to us. Perhaps we have realised that some things in our lives were being taken for granted – we just assumed they would be there. Without warning, they disappear, and we have to learn to do things slightly differently. Sometimes we don’t realise how important something is to us until we lose it. Take being able to drive as an example. It is wonderful and convenient if we can drive and have a car outside. If we need to go somewhere, pick up the keys, jump in the car and away we go. But we could lose that freedom, perhaps because of a medical condition, or perhaps the car simply refuses to start. All of a sudden, we have to learn to adapt and do something differently. It causes stress and upset – all because we lose something we had taken for granted. Of course, each of us is a different person, and what is important to me may well not be important to you. I’m sure each of us will have missed something over the course of the past few months, whether it is singing as part of a choir, visiting relatives and giving that grandchild a hug, going to the cinema or pub for a bit of socialising or perhaps taking that holiday abroad. Slowly, as restrictions are lifted, some of these activities are allowed again. Whilst the cafes might be open to go and enjoy that morning coffee, not everybody feels safe to go out. We can go back out to the pub, but it is not the same as it used to be. We can visit family members, but then we have to think about social distancing if we are not in our family bubble. Life is still very different. Perhaps, what this teaches us is that we should never take anything for granted. I have heard a number of people say that they do not want to go back to the way life was before we had heard of coronavirus.
