A LORD'S PRAYER TO MAKE YOU THINK
I cannot say 'our' if I live only for myself and I cannot say ‘Father' if I do not endeavour each day to act like his child.
I cannot say 'who art in heaven' if I am laying up no treasure there. I cannot say 'hallowed be thy name' if I am not striving for holiness and I cannot say 'Thy kingdom come' if I am not doing all in my power to hasten that wonderful event.
I cannot say 'thy will be done' if I am disobedient to his word and I cannot say 'on earth as it is in heaven' if I'll not serve him here and now.
I cannot say 'give us this day our daily bread' if I am dishonest or am seeking things by subterfuge.
I cannot say 'forgive us our trespasses' if I harbour a grudge against anyone. I cannot say 'lead us not into temptation' if I deliberately place myself in its path.
I cannot say 'deliver us from evil' if I don't put on the whole armour of God. I cannot say 'thine is the kingdom' if I do not give the King the loyalty due to him from
a faithful subject. I cannot attribute to him 'the power and the glory' if I am seeking honour only for myself.
And I cannot say 'for ever' if the horizon of my life is bounded completely by time. (Author unknown)

Whilst they were embalming an Irishman, the assistant asked the funeral director why the deceased
was smiling. “He was struck by lightning” said the director. “But that’s not funny, is it?” asked the
young man., “No, but he thought he was having his photograph taken!”

14th CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL
This year the Parish Council donated the Christmas Tree in the church yard,
and the Youth club provided the star on the top of the tree to recognise the
Youth Club’s 20 years since it first began.
Thank you to both groups for always supporting the church’s celebrations.
The Festival itself was a great success again, thank you to everyone who got
the church ready for the trees, decorated a tree, helped to steward the
event, or just turned up to enjoy it. And we learned a new carol at the “Songs
of Christmas Praise” which finished the weekend off with some joyful singing.
The final verse of the new carol is worth a quote (although Christmas may

Watching a Japanese team playing football at Leicester, at the end they all began crouching and
waving their arms about in slow motion. “What’s all that about?” I said to the bloke sitting next to
me. “Oh” he said “they always do that when there’s ninja-ry time!”
MOTHERING SUNDAY AFTERNOON TEA GIFT VOUCHERS
Hathern Parish Church
Mothering Sunday is the 4th Sunday in Lent and is always three weeks before Easter Sunday in the
UK. This year it is on March 11th and traditionally it was the day when children, mainly daughters,
who had gone away to work ‘in service’ were given the day off to return home to visit their
mothers. On the way the daughters would often gather wild flowers to give to their mothers as a
token of love and appreciation. These days it is more usual for both sons and daughters to give
bouquets of flowers and often chocolates too.
If you are wondering what other small token you could give to your Mum this Mothering Sunday,
then maybe Hathern Parish Church might just have the answer in the form of a Gift Voucher. This
voucher will enable your Mum to take afternoon tea in the Church on Saturday 17th March between
2.00pm and 5.00pm.
The Gift Vouchers are available priced at £6 per person, £3 for children under 12, from
• David Harbidge, Tel 01509-842596,
• Jan Leivers, Tel 01509-843440, or
• Rosemary Worsfold, Tel 01509-842585.
Payment by cash or cheque made payable to Hathern Parochial Church Council.
If you don’t wish to purchase a voucher, payment may also be made on the door at the time.
Vouchers must be presented on arrival at church.
WHY NOT GIVE YOUR MUM, OR YOUR GRANNY, A NICE SURPRISE
AND TREAT THEM TO AN AFTERNOON WITH A DIFFERENCE?

LETTER FROM THE CLERGY TEAM
I’ve just realised that I’m completely out of generosity. I also want to take back the self-satisfaction
which I picked up recently. Maybe I can swap it for some humility, I hear it wears better. In the New
Year, I’ll throw out the self-indulgence I’ve had for far too long and replace it with some kindness. I
believe it’s much better for you. Oh, and patience. I saw some on a friend recently and it was really
very becoming. While I’m out, I’ll take my sense of humour to be repaired. Ah yes, I must also
remember to pick up some goodness; it’s amazing how quickly you can run out of it. I’ll keep an
eye open for special offers on charity, optimism and love. You can never have too much of these
things.
The turning of the old year to the new is often an opportunity for folk to review, reflect, replace,
restore and to consider the places of personal hope and responsibility as we face the unknown
future. Often our resolve can focus on our bad points which we feel that we ought to work on and
strive to improve: more patience or humility, less weight or less anger. A bit like my shopping list
above.
A website I sometimes use (sacredspace.ie) gave me quite a different perspective a few years
ago, which I now use every few months or so. Rather than focusing on the stuff I’m not so good at
and trying to improve, it suggested this:
“Where do I sense hope, encouragement, and growth areas in my life?
By looking back over the last few months, I may be able to see which activities and
occasions have produced rich fruit. If I do notice such areas, I will determine to give those
areas both time and space in the future.”
I commend it to you in these early days of the New Year. Find those things which most give you life
and which are of greatest value. Dare to sit down with God and make a list of those situations
which allow you to flourish. Let the list also be a prayer: a prayer to be our best. If we can define
our lives by what is good and ask God’s help to develop that goodness, then I suspect that our bad
qualities will diminish too. I don’t know about you, but I certainly want to be defined by what is life-
giving and life-changing.
May 2018 be for you a year of deepening character and joy, whatever your responsibilities and
opportunities.
Louise Corke, Team Vicar
PS And on the subject of change….. A Buddhist monk strode into a Zen pizza restaurant and said,
"Make me one with everything." The proprietor appreciated the Zen humour and, when the monk
paid with £20 note, he put it in the till and closed the drawer.
"Hold on," asked the monk, "where's my change?"
"Ah, change," replied the owner inscrutably, "must come from within." (Here! I do the jokes! Editor)
My neighbour said my lawn looked a bit sad. “Yes” I said “It’s those two lines of bushes that block
out all the sunshine. They look nice, but I’d really like a good lawn, too! I can’t seem to have both”.
“See what you mean” said my neighbour “My lawn really is a bit of a two-hedged sward!”
SPRING CLEANING TIME AT HATHERN CHURCH
on SATURDAY 20th JANUARY
Once again, we’re giving the church building its annual wash ‘n’ brush-up. Will you help, please?
Men, can you come in at 9:00am and we’ll do all the high level dusting, removing debris, etc. Ladies, can you turn up at 10:00am and you can clean up after the men and do the
low level stuff? It would be great if you could help out.
