As  we  come  to  the  middle  of  the  year  I  return  to  the  challenge  of  going  for  growth. At  our  Annual  Mee ng  in  April  I  noted  that  the  only  use  of  the  word  grow    or  growth  in  the  New  Testament  was  growth  in  the  grace,  or  love  or  knowledge  of  God  and  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  –  what  we  might  call  our  spiritual  growth  –  growing  up  into  Christ  is  another  way  it  is  described. How  can  we  do  this?  There  are  various  ways.  One  way  God  calls  us  to  grow  spiritually  is  to  be  more  informed,  concerned  and  responsive  to  the  voices  of  those  who  are  crying  out  for  help  and  jus ce  in  the  wider  world. From  the   mes  of  earliest  awareness  of  God  in  the  Hebrew  Scriptures  we  read  about  a  God  who  hears  the  cry  of  the  oppressed  and  the  vulnerable.   The  “manifesto”  our  Lord  Jesus  set  out  for  his  mission,  according  to  St  Luke,  quo ng  from  the  book  of  Isaiah,  was  “to  bring  good  news  to  the  poor,  …to  proclaim  release  to  the  cap ves  and  recovery  of  sight  to  the  blind,  to  let  the  oppressed  go  free..”. Clearly  this  mission  is  not  an  op onal  extra  for  us  as  we  follow  Jesus  in  the  world  today.  In  fact,  to  be  bap sed,  and  to  be  regular  partakers  of  the  body  and  blood  of  Christ,  is  to  have  placed  ourselves  in  a  special  rela onship  of  solidarity,  not  only  with  all  other  Chris ans  in  the  world  but  with  all  people.   Growing  spiritually  –  for  Chris ans  at  any  rate   –  involves  expanding  our  horizons  about  who  our  neighbour  is.  It  involves  a  growth  in  our  readiness  to  care  about  God’s  mission  and  work  to  let  the  oppressed  go  free-  free  from  lack  of  necessi es,  basic  ameni es,  and  lack  of  control  over  their  own  lives;  free  to  enter  into  opportuni es  to  thrive  and  fulfil  poten al. Too  o en  those  who  care  and  give  support  are  the  ones  who  are  almost  as

vulnerable  themselves.  We  find  churches  of  the  poor  helping  the  poor  not  only  in  the  shan es  of  the  world's  mega -ci es,  but  also  in  the  estates  of  Bri sh  ci es  where  1  in  4  children  live  in  poverty.     As  a  church  community  All  Saints  has  made  commitments  already  to  express  our  engagement  with  God’s  mission  to  let  the  oppressed  go  free. We  have  a  commitment  to  support  Chris an  Aid  –    the  main  Bri sh  ecumenical  church  development  agency  -  praying  and  taking  part  in  Chris an  Aid  Week.  We  support  the  two  main  Anglican  mission  agencies  –  Church  Mission  Society  (CMS);  and  USPG:Anglicans  in  World  Mission.   These  are  church-based    organisa ons  enabling  us  to  get  involved.  They  channel  our  giving  to  the  people  and  places  where  it  really  makes  a  difference  and  will  not  be  wasted,  working  with  local  trusted  people  and  organisa ons.  They  send  out  professional  Chris an  people  who  offer  their  skills  and  energy  to  work  alongside  local  people  in  key  fields  to  help  them  build  the  capacity  to  create  a  be er  future.  So  we  support  these  organisa ons  with  our  giving  and  our  regular  prayer.  As  a  church  we  have  commi ed  to  give  10%  of  our  net  income  to  this  and  other  similar  work.   Suppor ng  God’s  mission  to  the  whole  world  and  all  people  is  not  an  op onal  extra  but  at  the  heart  of    what  it  means  to  be  a  disciple  of  Jesus  Christ. So  part  of  the  challenge  to  go  for  growth  is  to  grow  our  ac ve  interest  and  concern  for  the  people  and  places  -    in  the  UK  and  across  the  world  –    where  our  loving  gi s  and  prayers  are  making  a  difference  in  God’s  mission  to  let  the  oppressed  go  free. Taking  a  keener  interest  in  the  needs  of  the  poor  in  another  part  of  the  world  or  the  UK  –  becoming  a  local  champion  for  one  of  those  organisa ons  and  helping  us  to  know  be er  how  to  support  and  to  pray  –  this  is  another  way  to  be  challenged  in  ways  which  will  help  you  grow  in  faith,  and  hope  and  love,  in  the  grace  and  knowledge  of  God.   There  will  be  an  opportunity  before  the  summer  break  for  you  to  contribute  your  thoughts.  As  a  church  we  will  consider  the  organisa ons  we  plan  to

‘Sofa  Talking  Does  Not  Get  Us  Very  Far’ This  is  the  message  in  the  May  edi on  of  the  MU  publica on  ‘Faith  &  Policy  Watch’.    The  Mothers’  Union  is  ac vely  involved  in  campaigning  for  the  most  vulnerable.    Recent  ongoing  examples  are  the  ‘Bye  Buy  Childhood’  campaign  and  our  involvement  with  the  United  Na ons. One  rela vely  new  method  of  collec ng  members’  opinions  at  grass  roots  level  is  via  rapid  response  groups  and  ques onnaires.    One  big  advantage  of  email  is  that  opinion  can  be  sought  very  quickly  either  from  individual  members  or  from  a  group,  with  one  person  emailing  the  collec ve  response.    We  have  been  asked  for  our  opinion  on  many  issues  recently  ranging  from  whether  same  sex  couples  should  be  allowed  to  marry  to  internet  safety.    The  responses  are  used  to  form  the  MU’s  official  response  to  Government  and  other  relevant  bodies.    When  we  have  discussed  issues  within  the  branch,  we  have  found  a  wide  range  of  views  and  some  very  interes ng  points  have  been  raised.    More  importantly,  it  allows  Chris ans’  views  to  be  put  forward  at  a   me  when  there  are  those  that  believe  religion  has  no  place  in  government.

Next   me  you  are  asked  for  your  views,  please  do  consider  if  you  have  something  to  add  to  the  discussion  and  complete  the  survey.

Report  on  the  9th    Leadership  Forum   held  at  the  Cornerstone  on  Saturday,  21st  April

The  main  focus  of  our  mee ng  was  our  provision  for  young  people  in  our  parish  and  a  desire  to  address  the  proposal  to  appoint  a  youth  worker  by  finding  out  more  about  the  difference  this  might  make. Our  theme  was  introduced  by  a  video  message  from  our  Tweenagers  group  (for  young  people  between  Junior  Church  and  the  main  youth  group).  With  opening  and  closing  message s  from  our  volunteer  youth  workers,  the  young  people  took  main  stage  and  entertained  us  with  a  lively  presenta on  of  their  hopes  and  dreams.  They  felt  a  youth  worker  would  be  able  to  offer  a  greater  variety  of  ac vi es,  not  only  on  a  Sunday,  and  would  have   me  and  energy  to  inject  lots  of  fun  into  such  things  as  holiday  ac vi es,  learning  more  about  Jesus,  helping  others  by  raising  money  for  charit,  and  taking  on  new  challenges. A er  a  period  of  prayer  and  reflec on,  we  were  then  treated  to  inspiring  talks  by  two  enthusias c  young  people  who  work  in  Anglican  churches.  Becci  March  is  training  at  Twyford  (working  there  whilst  doing  a  degree)  and  Ben  Askew  is  currently  working  at  Beaconsfield.  Both  have  been  involved  in  youth  work  for  6  or  7  years.   It  was  quite  obvious  that  the  young  people  they  work  with  benefit  greatly  from  their  input.  They  are  a  constant  presence  in  the  young  people’s  lives.  They  are  available  a er  school,  at  weekends  and  in  the  holidays   -    all   mes  when  our  own  volunteers,  o en  juggling  jobs  and  families  or  in  full- me  work  -  can  offer  very  li le   me. They  head  up  teams  of  volunteers  (and  certainly  could  not  do  their  work  without  the  volunteers)  and  are  able  to  organise  the  work  so  that  for  example  if  someone  needs  a  week  off    from  a  Sunday  class  they  can  find  a  replacement.  They  can  help  to  inspire  and  direct  the  youth  team;  when  the  youth  worker  joins  a  church  they  o en  find  that  some  members  of  the  team  are  very   red  from  trying  to  do  too  much.  They  can  provide  con nuity  as  young  people  move  up  from  one  school  or  one  group  to  the  next. They  can  help  the  young  people  to  par cipate  in  church  in  order  to  grow  in  

17

faith  and  know  that  they  are  valued.  Star ng  where  the  young  person  is,  they  can  ease  him  /  her  into  the  life  of  the  church  at  their  pace.  All  this  helps  the  church  to  engage  with  young  people. They  went  on  to  say  that  if  we  employ  a  youth  worker,  we  in  our  turn  would  need  to  support  the  him/her.  It  can  be  a  very  lonely  job.  We  would  need  to  welcome  and  nurture  them,  being  encouraging  rather  than  being  cri cal.    Young  people  are  our  future  congrega on  as  well  as  our  congrega on  now.  This  means  that  we  should  invest  in  the  work  amongst  our  children  and  young  people  and  priori se  this. We  finished  our  mee ng  with  an  update  on  the  Pastoral  Care  team.  This  will  be  a  team  of  clergy  and  lay  assistants.  By  the   me  this  goes  to  press  the  lay  assi stants  will  have  been  introduced  to  the  congrega on  at  the  9:30  am  service  at  Pentecost.  We  then  had  an  update  on  the  event  planned  for  the  Olympics  -  a  Community  Fes val  with  a  sports  theme  planned  jointly  with  Norreys  Church.  This  will  take  place  on  the  8th  July. Finally  I  asked  if  anyone  would  be  willing  to  take  over  my  role  as  Convener  of  the  Leadership  Forum  and  I’m  pleased  to  say  that  Liz  Rippon  has  volunteered  and  has  taken  on  the  role.  I  have  really  enjoyed  being  involved  in  the  Forums  from  the  beginning,  and  ge ng  to  know  so  many  of  you  much  be er.  Liz  will  bring  some  fresh  ideas…and  I  might  volunteer  to  do  the  coffee!!

FORGIVENESS  THAT  HEALS

The  week-end  a er  this  magazine  will  become  available,  the  country  will  be  celebra ng  our  Queen’s  Diamond  Jubilee  and  I  thought  it  would  be  appropriate  for  us  pay  our  tribute  to  our  much  loved  and  respected  Queen  Elizabeth. We  are  very  much  blessed  that  the  Queen  has  such  a  very  strong  and  deep  rooted  convic on  in  her  Chris an  faith.  This  is  very  evident  in  the  way  she  accepts  her  responsibili es  and  the  way  she  carries  out  her  public  du es.  Her  witness  to  her  faith  is  even  more  revealed  in  her  royal  speeches. I  would  like  to  quote  a  few  lines  from  her  last  Christmas  speech  in  2011,  which  not  only  witnessed  to  her  Chris an  faith,  but  also  tes fied  to  her  great  sense  of  compassion.        “It  is  in  adversity  that  new  friendships  are  some mes  formed;  and      it’s  in  a  crisis  that  communi es  break  down  barriers  and  bind      together  to  help  one  another.  It  seems  that  it  is  tragedy  that  o en      draws  the  best  from  the  human  spirit.”    “God  sent  into  the  world  a  unique  person-‐-‐   –  neither  a  philosopher  nor      a  general,  important  though  they  are,  but  a  Saviour  with  the  power  to    forgive.  Forgiveness  lies  at  the  heart  of  the  Chris an  faith.  It  can  heal    broken  families,  it  can  restore  friendships  and  it  can  reconcile  divided    communi es.  It  is  in  forgiveness  that  we  feel  the  power  of  God’s    love.”

It  was  Colin  who,  at  one  of  our  recent  Tuesday  morning  services,  drew  our  a en on  to  this  last  profound  statement  in  the  Queen’s  last  Christmas  speech,  when  he  was  talking  on  the  subject  of  forgiveness.  I  would  like  to  pursue  the  subject  further.

25

How  true  it  is  that  forgiveness  lies  at  the  heart  of  the  Chris an  faith.  In  the  prayer  that  our  Lord  taught  His  disciples  He  said,  “Forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  have  also  forgiven  our  debtors”.  (Mat.  6:9)  Whilst  we  allow  a  resentment  against  someone  to  fester  in  our  mind,  it  affects  our  whole  rela onship  with  that  person.  By  openly  saying  to  that  person  that  we  forgive  him  or  her  we  are  immediately  healed  of  that  festering  resentment. There  are   mes  when  we  find  it  is  almost  impossible  to  forgive  others,  especially  when  we  read  of  the  horrific  events  that  take  place  in  the  world.  We  remember  par cularly  the  a acks  made  on  New  York  and  Washington,  the  day  now  known  as  9/11,  and  the  massacre  of  innocent  civilians  that  is  s ll  going  on  in  Syria.  It  is  at  these   mes  that  our  Chris an  faith  is  tested  to  the  limit.  How  can  we  possibly  be  expected  to  forgive  in  these  circumstances?  The  Chris an  answer  must  be  that  we  believe  that  we  have  a  God  who  forgives  sins  through  the  sacrificial  death  of  his  Son  and  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  It  was  at  our  Lord’s  crucifixion  that  He  gave  us  the  finest  example  of  forgiveness  when  he  said  of  those  who  were  nailing  Him  to  the  cross,  “Father  forgive  them,  for  they  do  not  know  what  they  are  doing”.  In  doing  so  He  has  given  us  the  eternal  healing  of  reconcilia on  with  God  our  Father. We  pray  for  God’s  blessing  on  our  Queen  during  this  year  of  her  Diamond  Jubilee  and  that  He  will  give  her  the  strength,  in  her  advancing  years,  to  carry  out  all  the  visits  and  celebra ons  that  she  has  commi ed  herself  to  complete.

Please  let  us  know  of  any  need  for  healing  prayer  support.  Confiden ality  is  assured. The   Laying   on   of  Hands  will   be  made   available   at   the   Parish   on   Sunday   the   17th  June.  The  next  Healing  Service  will  be  held  on  Sunday  29th  July  at  6.30  pm.

BREAKFAST

SUNDAY  24th  JUNE.  We  are  very  pleased  to  invite  you  to  a  con nental  type  breakfast  in  the  Cornerstone  following  the  8.00am  service  or  you  might  pre-‐fer  to  come  before  9.30am.  We  will  be  making  this  a  strawberry  based  breakfast  plus  the  usual  choice  of  fresh  fruit,  croissants,  cereals  and  bite  size  sandwiches  etc.  To  drink  we  will  have  fruit  juice,  a  home  made  lemon  drink  

which  we  are  trying  for  the  first   me,  tea,  decaffeinat-‐ed  tea,  green  tea,  cafe ere  coffee,  decaffeinated  coffee,  ice  cold  milk.  If  you  have  any  dietary  require-‐ments  please  contact  Diana  9792614  -  who  enjoys  helping  with  requests.  There  is  no  need  to  book  –  just  come  along.  Looking  forward,  as  we  always  do,  to  see-‐ing  you.

27

We  meet  in  the  Cornerstone  every  Sunday  for  breakfast  around  9.15.  That’s  very  early  for  most  young  people,  so  that’s  why  we  have  free  food!  It’s  a  small  group  (4-5  people)  –  school  year  nine  and  above  –  and  we  use  the  Youth  Emmaus  material  for  our  sessions,  which  we  find  to  be  really  useful.  Our  sessions  tend  to  be  a  mix  of  games,  discussion,  prayer,  bible  reading  and  crea ve  stuff  (drawing,  cra work  etc)  –  and  hopefully  a  bit  of  fun  as  well!  The  members  of  the  group  are  up  for  most  things  and  are  quite  able  to  work  out  things  for  themselves,  as  well  as  challenge  us  if  they  think  we  are  talking  rubbish.  We’ve  covered  topics  such  as  the  bible,  the  nature  of  God,  church  community  and  commitment  to  Christ.  A  number  of  the  group  have  just  gone  through  the  Confirma on  course. We’d  only  just  got  going  late  last  year  when  the  group  not  only  agreed  to  design  a  youth  service  but  also  to  par cipate  in  it  as  well  –  the  theme  was  comedy.  We  had  a  stand-up  comic  to  warm  up  the  audience,  sketches,  sa rical  jokes  about  the  disciples  (thank  you,  Gary  Larson),  paper  aeroplanes  as  prayers  and  burs ng  bubbles  as  forgiveness,  as  well  as  looking  at  passages  on  laughter  in  the  bible.  It  also  involved  a  lot  of  laughter  on  our  part,  too! One  real  issue  is  to  increase  numbers.  Youth  groups  are  like  tribes  –  if  it’s  big,  then  more  will  come;  but  the  opposite  is  true  as  well.  We  are  at  a  turning  point  and  the  leaders’  concern  is  that  one  or  two  members  will  move  on  soon  (some  for  legi mate  reasons)  and  that  may  make  the  group  so  small  as  to  be  non-func onal.  Another  issue  is  having  a  vision  for  youth  in  the  church.  The  leaders  don’t  really  have   me  to  think  far  ahead  –  we’re  in  maintenance  mode  rather  than  strategy  most  of  the   me.  A  full- me  youth  worker  would  really  help  on  this  point.  A  final  issue  is  integra ng  youth  into  the  life  of  the  church  –  simply  turning  up  for  communion  does  not  cut  it.  Currently,  it  feels  like  there  is  a  big  bridge  to  be  built  between  youth  and  the  rest  of  the  church.  The  All  Age  service,  unfortunately,  does  not  solve  this  issue. So  pray  for  us  –  both  members  and  leaders.  We  would  value  your  support  very  much.  Thanks.

Ringing  changes  ‘in  hand’ Most  people  have  seen  tunes  rung  on  handbells,  and  most  people  know  that  changeringing,  as  performed  on  tower  bells,  is  very  different  from  normal  mu-‐sic.    Most  people  don’t  know  that  changeringing  is  also  regularly  performed  on  handbells  (about  15%  of  the  peals  rung  every  year  are  ‘in  hand’  and  not  in  a  tower).    The  reason  is  that  the  most  of  it  is  done  in  private.    Only  occasionally  is  changeringing  in  hand  performed  in  public.    There  was  a  performance  during  the  fund  raising  concert  at  All  Saints  in  2001,  and  we  rang  handbells  for  some  weddings  while  the  bells  were  out  during  2004.     Ringing  a  handbell  is  easier  than  ringing  a  tower  bell,  but  each  ringer  has  a  bell  in  each  hand,  so  although  it  needs  less  physical  skill,  the  mental  task  of  knowing  what  two  separate  bells  are  doing  all  the   me  is  much  more  demanding.     Many  ringers  try  ringing  in  hand  at  some   me,  maybe  while  at  college,  but  many  of  them  don’t  take  it  up  as  a  regular  ac vity.    Over  half  of  our  ringers  at  All  Saints  have  some  experience  of  handbell  ringing,  but  only  two  of  us  ring  reg-‐ularly  (with  a  group  loosely  based  around  Reading).    Three  of  St  Paul’s  ringers  also  ring  handbells  regularly,  and  we’ve  recently  rung  three  ‘all  Wokingham’  quarter  peals  of  Plain  Bob  Royal  (ten  bells,  five  ringers). Just  before  Easter,  we  gathered  with  over  30  other  ringers  from  around  the  Diocese  for  the  annual  Handbell  Day.    Of  the  36  quarter  peals  a empted  (6  one  hour  slots  x  six  rooms)  23  were  successful  –  more  in  the  morning  than  the  a er-‐noon,  probably  because  we  were  fresher.

HELP! JUST  120  MINUTES   OF  YOUR  TIME  

Wokingham  Volunteer  Centre  operates  a  low  cost  transport   scheme  to  enable  those  who  cannot  use  public  transport  get   to  their  hospital/doctor  appointments  

Due  to  the  increase  in  demand  for  our  help  we  have  recently  had  to  let  some  of  our  clients  down.  We  desperately  need  more  drivers  (we  naturally  pay  for  your  petrol).  

We  would  love  to  be  able  to  expand  the  driving  scheme  to  enable  us  to  take  people  shopping  or  for  a  short  ou ng  to  say  a  garden  centre.  However,  to  operate  this  service  we  do  need  the  help  of  more  drivers.  

If    you  can  spare  just  a  couple  of  hours  a  week  to  help  with  this  scheme,  or  with  any  other  opportuni es  available  throughout  the  district  we  would  like  to  hear  from  you.
