I am writing this letter to you on a cold and wintery January afternoon. This year, the Church’s calendar gives a relatively long gap between Epiphany and the beginning of Lent, and I have a real sense of being in an ‘in between’ time.

Being ‘in between’ can be an uncertain and even challenging thing – we may be in between jobs, in between school and university, in between work and retirement, in between surgery and recovering to full health. Our nation is also in between, as we wait for outworking of last year’s vote to leave the European Union.

Being in between one place and another can be a time to rest and take stock; but it can also be a time of fear and disorientation as the hopes and dreams that have motivated or even driven us thus far – doing well in our last job, getting into university or safely through an operation – no longer apply. We can find ourselves without direction as we wait passively for the next stage to begin.

W.H. Auden, reflects on this in his Christmas oratorio ‘For the time being’:

But, for the time being, here we all are, Back in the moderate Aristotelian city Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience, And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it…

The Time being is, in a sense, the most trying time of all…

In the meantime There are bills to be paid, machines to keep in repair, Irregular verbs to learn, the Time Being to redeem From insignificance.

Redeeming the ‘time being from insignificance’ is the challenge of living life in between: in between the various stages and conditions that come our way; in between the life, death and resurrection of Jesus and his coming again.

As Christians, we believe that we do not remain ‘in between’ forever. We believe that in the fullness of time God calls each person, and in fact the whole of creation, into his Kingdom. We redeem the ‘time being from insignificance’ by asking God to maintain and nourish us on our journey, and to provide us with all that we need to take us on the journey from being in between, to being with God in his Kingdom. Bishop Christopher

Thank You Can I say just how much each of you is appreciated for the Gift you give of yourselves for the work of the “Kingdom of Heaven” as Matthew puts it. In a world that more and more seems to be preoccupied with the things that benefit the self you have chosen to be part of God’s outreach, the adventure of life that reaches out to the other. In particular your generosity enables us to work together as Christ’s Body, the Church, in the world. Each of our Parishes across the Team has many people who in so many ways contribute both to the life of that Church and to the wider work across the Diocese and World. In our annual reports we will list so many things that are simply down to you. Let us not take them for granted but say a real heart felt thank you for what has been, what we have and look forward to what we can achieve in the future. Our plans are for growth; for Schools work, for Invitation and for Hospitality to help our work to grow. In this we will welcome our new Priest, we will have new ways of working as well as doing what we are already doing. For this we will need to grow our resources and under God that will depend on you and me. Therefore, I would like to encourage us all to review what we give as we start out on a new year. I have found Bp. David Courts’ 10 Giving “Commandments” a helpful way of realising why we do what we do.

Why we Give:

1. As a response to God’s Goodness – to us and all people.

2. As Disciples we are called to follow – to use what we have in his

service.

3. As necessary for the work of God to happen – who else is

responsible to see it happens but us.

4. As a means of receiving God’s blessings – how else will worship be

offered and things paid for?

5. Because what we have is God’s – we give back only what we have

received.

6. As positive people - Cheerfully – how much better we are when we

give than when we keep to ourselves.

7. As a first response – by planned, regular and proportionate giving.

8

8. As a costly gift – sacrificial generosity as in the widow’s mite.

9. With a guide of a tenth, a tithe, in whatever way we see that,

cumulative giving, time, talents etc.

10. As a statement of what is important in our lives and for the future

world and eternity.

Together we will flourish. Yours Fr Peter ‘The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending; and to have the two as close together as possible.’ -- George Burns

Family Service

The Journey of Life was the theme for the Family Service on New Year's Day. It was a wet day but the loyal congregation turned out to support the Team. Reverend Joan Thornett led the service with the assistance of Jane Parker, who read the lessons and Margaret Cook, who was playing the organ for the first time after its renovation. Elizabeth and Martha were acolytes and took the collection. The activity for the children was finding the way through a maze (on paper) and telling the congregation about different journeys they had made and the journeys made by different people in the Christmas story. Margaret explained about the organ pipes having been on journeys to Worksop and Lincoln during the renovation. Reverend Joan took everyone on an imaginary journey to her daughter's house in Harrington. On that journey there are cross roads, forks in the road, a roundabout and pot holes which is very much like our journey in life. We have to make decisions as to which road to take; we may meet danger and sometimes seem to go round in circles. But we must remember we have our personal sat nav within us and should turn to God to seek guidance as to the correct route to take. The next Family service will be on February 5th when the theme will be Black and White. Everyone will be made very welcome.

Spilsby Primary Academy Year 3 & 4 WOW Event We went to St James’ church to look at and listen to the organ, electric organ

and the bells. Miss Cook played the church organ as we arrived. This was a

lovely welcome.

Miss Cook explained all about the

two organs and how they worked.

She played a tune on the electric

organ and then added backing

instruments so we could hear the

difference. This made it sound totally

amazing.

We found out that William Hill made the church organ and is also on a

window near the organ – this was his son’s idea so he could be remembered.

Miss Cook showed us how the church organ worked and some of us had a

go. You need long legs to reach the pedals.

11

We also had a go at ringing the bells they were really heavy. Mr Ford, Edward and Sally showed us the different bells. One was so heavy it would lift us right up to the bell tower. We listened to the bells ringing as we walked back to school. It was a great morning. We learnt lots of different things. Thank you to everyone who taught us about the instruments in the church. We would love to come again!!!! Reporters – Phoebe, Bailey and Imogen

Rev’d Fran’s Words of Wisdom As I write this I am making the final preparations to go away to Launde Abbey for a retreat. The retreat is called “Exploring the Labyrinth of Life” and it is described as …”an opportunity for each of us to explore a prayer labyrinth – and see how we enter it, we journey along its paths, reach its centre, and then return to where we started.” This is opportune, because in May we have booked one of the Diocesan Labyrinths which will be put into New Leake Church. I am hoping to find out, during my week away, how a labyrinth can help develop spirituality. At the moment, I can do no better than the following from the Labyrinth website: The Romans adapted the ancient labyrinth symbol as a decorative floor pattern, and the Christian artists and thinkers of early medieval times developed the Roman pattern into a new and beautiful form which was used as a feature in many medieval cathedrals. It was marked out on the floor in coloured stone or tiles and usually between 10 and 40 feet in diameter. A range of designs were explored, but the pattern used at Chartres Cathedral in northern France is the archetype and perfection of all medieval labyrinths. Fortunately it has been well-preserved, and in recent times pilgrims have taken to travelling to Chartres specifically to walk it.

Whilst we cannot be exactly sure what the labyrinths were used for, they were clearly a symbol of the Christian way, representing the path of the soul through life. Medieval pilgrims re-enacted this, following the path of the labyrinth in the cathedral on their knees as a means of prayer, or to symbolize the journey to Jerusalem, or as a ritual to mark the end of a pilgrimage. People walked it on the eve of their baptism or confirmation, as an aid to contemplative prayer in Holy Week, and as an illustration both of the life of the Christian and of the life of Christ. But after medieval times the spiritual uses of labyrinths were forgotten, and they fell into disuse. Many were destroyed between the 17th and 19th centuries.” So, I am going on a pilgrimage. I am not sure I will be journeying on my knees – after all, the labyrinth at Launde Abbey is outside, muddy during winter, and I am really not sure I would get up again, if I got down. But I am preparing to begin my pilgrimage – and who knows where it will end up. It reminds me of this quotation from T S Eliot’s poem “The Four Quartets”:

13

“We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.”

Happy exploring – look out next month for an update.

Prayer

Down in the south of the Deanery we have been exploring prayer in its many

different forms. We have had a series of sermons looking at prayer walking,

meditation, using the Bible in prayer and other such topics. And each week

we have been set a task to complete giving us food for thought, particularly

about the way God answers prayer. This is all in readiness for the “Thy

Kingdom Come” initiative which will take place in the Novena between

Ascension and Pentecost. (Although, if I am honest, we did not know about

the initiative when we started the series – that is how God works!).

The dedicated website (http://www.thykingdom.co.uk/) says this:

“In May 2016 the Archbishops of Canterbury and York invited people to join a

wave of prayer between Ascension and Pentecost. This is traditionally a time

when the church focuses on prayer, just as the first disciples gathered after

they had watched Jesus ascend into heaven, it says in Acts 1. 14 “They all

joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the

mother of Jesus…” The response in May 2016 was overwhelming as

hundreds of thousands joined in from churches of many denominations and

different traditions around the UK and across the world.

For 2017 the vision is even bigger. The hope is to see at least 80 per cent of

Church of England churches and cathedrals taking part as well as many other

denominations and the churches of the world-wide Anglican Communion.

Roman Catholic Church, Pentecostal churches and several of the Eastern

and Oriental Orthodox churches in the UK have all signalled their support.

This is not a CofE thing, it's not an Anglican thing, it's a Christian thing!”

So… who will you pray for? And who will you pray with?

It is really good, in my experience, to form ‘prayer triplets’. Find two friends (or

acquaintances who will become friends) and invite them to meet with you

once a week to pray – it may be for only 10 minutes or so, with a coffee and

biscuits afterwards. It is possible to take part at any time of the day or night.

Why not start now – and then commit to doubling your effort during the week

itself.

Our Lent Course this year will give us much to pray for. We will be using the

USPG Course ‘LIVING AN AUTHENTIC LIFE’ in which we will be

encouraged to seek to live being true to ourselves, true to those we meet,

and true to God. The resources are available to download at

http://www.uspg.org.uk/lent/discipleshipintro/ but if you are unable to access the

internet, contact the Parish Office and we will provide the resources for you.

There is so much going on. Please do join in and get involved. Prayer

changes things – and possibly even you!

Stickney Church of England Primary School

On Tuesday, 20th December the children, staff and parents attended a Carol Service in St Luke’s Church. Here is a photograph of some Year 6 children telling the congregation why Christmas is special to them.

This photograph shows three children from various classes helping Rev. Fran with her talk. They were holding pictures relating to Christmas and how these items can prevent us from seeing the true meaning of Christmas.

16

ERESBY NEWS The residents enjoyed the Christmas outings and activities and are now back into the routine of the New Year. Jane Parker and Margaret Cook took a short Carol service in January and the residents enjoyed talking about their memories of Christmas when they were children. They also laughed about the various activities that took place in the winter in the school playground especially the slides when it was very icy and the beautiful patterns on the windows when it had been very frosty. These are never seen now because of central heating. On January 10th Pat Bourn and her team of volunteers helped the residents with their flower arrangements. The theme was Winter and some beautiful arrangements were done using twisted willow, greenery and white chrysanthemums. It stood on a board covered in foil and decorated with cotton wool snowballs. The Craft group are working on various things to celebrate the Chinese New year on January 28th. Lanterns, butterflies and fans are being made. 2017 is the year of the Rooster. It is hoped that there will be a Chinese meal for the residents to enjoy. A number of residents enjoy going into the Eresby Arms once a month for a drink and the men enjoy playing dominoes although John seems to win nearly every time. Iwona and Margaret are rarely successful!

"Curiouser and Curiouser"

Some of you, many years ago, may have enjoyed reading Alice in Wonderland. There is a particular passage that caught my attention:

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

We might identify with that on a personal level, but there are also times when we look at the world and it seems to be quite "mad", and no longer seems to make sense. We live in times that can appear as if nothing were certain anymore, only unrest.

The new President of the United States appears to have upset the majority of the world, whilst only having been in office for a very short time indeed, with unprecedented levels of unrest which have ensued since his inauguration. Before we start to feel too smug though, there are also serious problems in our own country, with the NHS, growing unemployment, and of course there is Brexit, the list seems endless. Curiouser and Curiouser!

Be assured though, not everything is in a state of flux. As Christians, we are aware, no matter how dark and gloomy things may be, that there is always a light, the light of Christ in the darkness. It is so easy in today's world to lose sight of that. We all have good intentions: we go to church and believe all that we hear and say, but when we get home and "real life" kicks in, it is all too easy to focus on the problems rather than on the hope that is offered to each one of us. There is hope, that no matter what situation we may be in right now; whatever "madness" we are caught up in, through God's grace it can always change.

Be comforted, that if life is particularly hard for us at the moment, with God, change will happen. It may not always be how we planned it or what we hoped for, but God himself will be in the midst to guide us through. There is the sure and certain hope that this life is not all there is; we have the words of Jesus himself when he said:

" I am the light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

If we keep our focus on him, he will guide us down a safe path so that we find ourselves following his plan for our lives and ultimately for his world. Blessings Teresa

All welcome

A chance to consider the effect of the Reformation on ordinary

What did this mean for the priest and congregation of small village

churches? A time of cataclysmic change the impact of which is

perhaps difficult for us to comprehend.

A minister was walking to church one morning when he passed one of his members working in his garden. "Can't you hear those bells calling you to church?" asked the minister. "Eh, what's that?" said the member. "Can't you hear those bells calling you to church?" "I'm afraid you'll have to speak a little louder!" said the member. "CAN'T YOU HEAR THOSE BELLS CALLING YOU TO CHURCH?!" shouted the minister. "I'm sorry," said the member, "I can't hear you because of those darned BELLS!"

More Newhome thoughts on Computers.

Well Happy New Year to you all. Lets hope it is going to be a good one for us all. If you are like me it feels as though a large whole has appeared in the bottom of my wallet. So on with the computer news. This year on 11th April Microsoft will stop supporting Windows Vista. That means that there will be no updates issued to stop hacking attacks. This is the same as what happened to XP a few years back. It does not mean that the computer will stop working or no longer go on the internet. It does mean that going on the net will become increasingly risky as any new faults will not be patched. The best way to visualize your Windows operating system is like a building made of straw and mud. It’s warm inside and works well enough as a house, certainly better than no house. The trouble is that the house is built in an area where lots of rats live. They keep gnawing at the walls until they get in. So you have to have two defences to protect yourself. One is the 'cat ant rat poison' that we call our antivirus programme. This is clearly a good defence as any rats that get in are killed smartish. The other defence is that the builder (Microsoft) keeps sending you some more mud and straw to patch up the holes that have been found in the building. With out this extra patching work then it is clear that eventually even the best cats will get overwhelmed by rats coming in through unpatched holes. That is why updates are important, a pain but important. All of this leaves those of you with a Windows Vista based machine looking forward to needing to replace it in the near future. We certainly do not recommend that anyone spends money on one if it goes wrong. In fact we would recommend that you start planning to copy off to a USB memory stick all of the things that you want to keep. For those of you who are thinking, “I wonder if it can be upgraded to Windows 10”. The answer is “no not officially,” the free upgrades were for Windows 7 and 8. This has now finished through the Windows update system. In practice this is also not a good idea either as Windows 10 does not work very well with the older hardware. There is very often wireless network connection problems amongst other things. Still you now have 6 months to plan for your replacement but please don't be tempted with some of the very cheap laptops. Yes it's cheap and looks pretty, but inside it is an old style slow speed processor stuck onto old style equipment. We know you won't be happy with it one month after

Kids Kidney Research is the only charity in the UK, which solely provides funding for vital research into prevention and cure of kidney disease in babies and children. This research takes place at the Institute of Child Health/Great Ormond Street Hospital, and also paediatric nephrology units nationwide. There is no cure for renal failure, which many forms of kidney complaints can result in, only respite in the form of dialysis, or if you are lucky, transplantation. So much is still unknown about the causes of kidney failure, and it is the basic research into kidney disease which desperately needs financial support. KKR is a voluntary organisation, with no office overheads, allowing on average 95% of all contributions received to finance this important research.

Hello my name’s Dan Francis and I’m running the London Marathon on April 23rd in aid of Kids Kidney Research and would like to ask you would you be willing to sponsor me? My wife’s niece had a kidney transplant as an adult a couple of years ago and maybe with more research like this she could have received treatment earlier in life and prevented the need of a transplant. Any sponsorship received via this Grapevine article my wife and I have decided to personally match and donate 25% of the total received to St James Church.

To donate please contact us with a pledge at 35 Woodlands Ave Spilsby PE23 5EL or Tel. 01790 752121 or text 0793 1347150 or visit http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/DanFrancis which is my online donation page. Every little helps.
