Dear Friends

I recently came across a copy of The Economist Magazine which some of you may have also seen. The front cover was very striking. There was a picture of people walking along a barren stretch of countryside and on top was the caption, 'The Exodus'. I was reminded of the Israelites on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land; how they had travelled for years, finally at last close to their destination they arrived at the edge of Edom, the territory of the descendants of their ancestral brother Esau. Because of their historical relationship, they politely request safe passage:

"Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory. Please let us pass through your country. We will not go through any

field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. "

Very reasonable, very accommodating and unthreatening, hardly meriting the response they received.

"You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword."

It doesn't take much stretch of the imagination to leap forward to what's happening today along the borders of many European countries. Like the Israelites the people are escaping from violence and hardship; they've walked for miles, lives have been lost. It's hard to put the footage of the little boy washed up on the sea shore out of my mind. Like the Israelites they are desperate to make a new start to their lives. Yet, instead of an army along the border, they face razor wire denying them the chance of at last reaching somewhere safe from war and violence, as country after country closes its borders.

We have been witnessing a migration on a scale that has not been seen in modem times. Our leaders seem to be at a loss to know what to do and how to cope with the numbers. Perhaps we should put the figures into perspective. If the numbers of migrants and refugees rose to a million that would be less than one third of one percent of the population of Europe. In those terms this is no greater than the migrations, or invasions, of the past. Europe is a diverse multicultural region and many of the nations are prepared to accommodate these refugees.This being the case, I'm finding the lack of preparation and organisation hard to understand. Why has this 'exodus' been allowed to

continue without the organisation needed to help; the situation is currently out of control.

It's good to know that ordinary people, especially Christians haven't been prepared to stand by and watch, they've been out there on the railway stations, helping new arrivals and lines of organisation throughout the churches and other organisations are developing. Our brothers and sisters in Europe are acting in obedience to the model Jesus gave us.

'Love one another as I have loved you'

Jesus paints a vivid picture of what will happen on his return. He says:

"Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

When his listeners questioned Jesus about when it was that they did those things, he replied:

"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the least of one of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did it for me."

Those we have seen on our television screens night after night are people made in the image of God - they are our brothers and sisters. The refugees and migrants are hungry, thirsty, in need of clothes and somewhere to live. We can help both with financial donations to Christian Aid and U.S., we can deliver material goods to collection points and, most importantly, we can pray for these desperate people to be welcomed and given the opportunity of a fresh start. Europe is a rich continent, we must help. Jesus himself was a refugee and he gave up everything for each and every one of us so that we might have eternal life. He expects us to respond to the current crisis with the compassion and love he pours out on all who tum to him.

My prayer is that, by the time you read this, progress will have been made.

MOTHERS' UNION TRIENNIAL FESTIVAL

Thirteen MU members attended the Mothers' Union Triennial Festival Eucharist at Peterborough Cathedral on 12th September. We were addressed by Lynne Tembey, MU Worldwide President. Her talk was heartening. She gave us an overview of MU work worldwide. That work can be life changing, and life giving, bringing help, encouragement and belief, to those in need. Teddies are knitted for neo natals who require intensive care, and toiletries are provided for rape victims. "Away From It All" holidays can give a much needed break to families. We heard of one such family, where the children were looked after by MU members, giving the parents a much needed opportunity simply to talk to each other. MU support has helped restore self esteem to women who have been abused. As regards MU work in prisons, our President concluded that "only God knows what effect we've had on the inmates.

We have long seen the success of MU literacy and finance programmes overseas. A mother who is enabled to read, and to calculate, is in a strong position as she sells her goods in the market place. Not surprisingly, these women see their children thrive, much better than they had been able, before the mother had been on the education programme.

It is encouraging to know that the Mothers' Union has status within the United Nations, particularly, as we seek to offer help, in the current refugee crisis.

We heard of the MU member, wearing her MU badge, who was recently travelling by train. A fellow traveller remarked to her that the world would be a poorer place without the MU. He then repeated his remark loudly, for the benefit of the other passengers who were travelling in that carriage.

It is essentially through ordinary things, that MU makes extraordinary things happen. Our President reminded us that Mary Sumner, founder of MU, had put her hand into the hand of God, and stepped out, to "touch lives". In conclusion, she thanked us "for being the people of God, in the Peterborough Diocese".

Our next meeting will be held at 2.15 p.m., on October gth, when Pamela Woods will speak to us on our new link Diocese of Soroti.

Our Harvest Litany

At Harvest time we thank you, Lord, For corn that grows so golden, For large juicy apples and big fat pears And grapes on the vine ripe and swollen.

Response; We thank you, Lord. for this Harvest.

We thank you, Lord, for rich, black oil And the natural crops of gas and coal. For the men who live on deep sea rigs Or work underground in a dark gloomy hole.

We thank you. Lorcl, for this Harvest.

We thank you, Lord, for the new potatoes And the carrots that crunch and wriggle. For lettuce whose middles are crisp and green With outside leaves for rabbits that nibble.

We thank you, Lorcl. for this Harvest.

We thank you, Lord, for the fisherman, His mackerel, cod, scampi and eels. He sails away through calm and storm So we can have fish and chip meals.

We thank you, Lord, for this Harvest.

But most of all we thank you, Lord, For life you gave to us aIL Please help us to use it as you'd like, Never idle, bad-tempered or crueL

We thank you. Lord, for this Harvest.

FOR ALL GOD'S MERCIES BROOKE IS THANKFUL

Well it hasn't been the sunniest summer---no it hasn't---or the warmest---or the most glorious. Yet somehow amid all the wind and rain and cool-the crops have grown and the farmers are harvesting even though a little later than usual. September 2oth was the date when St Peter Brooke celebrated. For the first time we were privileged to welcome Julie Hutchinson to lead our worship on this special day.

The church did look beautiful thanks to the lovely arrangements filled with the vibrant colours of Autumn. Thanks were expressed to Roland Meadows for his wonderful gift of dahlias from his garden It felt as if the countryside and the stone all belonged together.

The well loved hymns were sung enthusiastically led by Connie at the organ. The lessons were read by Maggie Eayrs and Michael Allen, and Julie skilfully wove a pattern welcoming the developing industry of whole community and encouraging us to link our souls to the soil and to feel God's purpose in the land and our very lives. It was all very challenging, uplifting and a bit startling. Certainly no time for a comfortable snooze.

Then the magic of refreshments and wine and meeting and chatting. The collection was in aid of Water Aid. The bell ringers were led by John. The circle of the year completed and we all gave thanks. A new year on the land and a new incumbent in our church---­welcome, thrice welcome!!!!

EGLETON NEWS

Warm welcome awaited the Reverend Canon Julie Hutchinson as she arrived in the Oakham Benefice of Parishes and, within its compass, to lead and befriend her assigned, five parishes. Egleton St. Edmund's is delighted to belong within Canon Julie's designated five-fold flock!

The first Sunday of September gave first opportunity for Canon Julie to be Celebrant and Preacher in the Service of the Eucharist! She was given a cordial greeting by Churchwarden Sue, "saying it with flowers" as she presented a bouquet and, for good measure, planted a kiss on St. Edmund's new priest and pastor!

This report is compiled on the morrow ofthis year's RUTLAND RIDE AND STRIDE event when Cyclists and Walkers took up the challenge to go, on cycle or on foot, to as many Rutland churches [ecumenically speaking!] as energies might permit! The IDSTORIC CHURCHES TRUST, as well as their own Parish Church's

maintenance, both served to spur those ready and willing Riders & Striders along their sponsored itinerary!

This year's event included Car RIDERS in its widening embrace; all welcome recruits to this lucrative and highly rewarding means to discover many of Rutland's historic endearing places of worship. St Edmund's doors were open wide to welcome and to register each of the many enlightened recruits touring our charming county and, with every breath, ensuring the maintenance of our historic, though necessitous Churches. Well done, Riders and Striders all!

Mention in dispatches must be made, too, ofEgleton's agent for RIDE & STRIDE recruitment and for all preps for the Day, Peter Light and, also, for their essential though sedentary role, the Recorders - of each and every Rider/Strider, intent on tracing an enchanting Tour of Rutland Churches, which could not possibly omit Egleton St. Edmund's! Reporting approximately, there must have been a hundred of em - and counting!

There is to be A WEDDING IN ST. EDMUND'S on October 3r<l, when the bride will be Merri Smith, whose long allegiance to St. Edmund's merits Merri's title to marry here. Her career as a Veterinary Surgeon has long since required Merri to live "at a distance" but Merri keeps coming back, at :frequent intervals! Come October, she will exchange marriage vows with her bridegroom Piers in St. Edmund's, replete with ardent blessings :from her fellow parishioners, eager as ever to welcome Merri HOME!

Harvest festival is to be held on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4th; the THANKSGIVING Service at 5.00 p.m. and then the auction of Harvest gifts will follow the worship and will precede St. Edmund's HARVEST HOME supper, served in the Village Hall, there to indulge further in "all good gifts around us"!

The Supper charges are £7.50, but £4.00 for harvesters under 16! We are invited to come to Supper, armed with our own DRINKS & CUTLERY! Furthermore, we are advised to reserve a place at Table via Diane - 345456 or Mary - 756850.

In view ofthis Evening Celebration of the Harvest, there will NOT BE MORNING SERVICE on October 41h; but in the evening of that Festival date

"COME, YE THANKFUL PEOPLE, RAISE THE SONG OF HARVEST HOME".

LANGHAM NEWS

Ladies, do you still have a hat? Or a party dress with no chance to wear it? Well, here is your opportunity. On October lOth there will be Tea at the Ritz in Langham Church from 3.00 - 6.00 p.m. On the other hand, if I were offered a free ticket for the Ritz, and was wearing only jeans and a tee-shirt, I would still go - so don't let the lack of formal dress put you off coming! It really will be tea with all the trimmings you would expect from the London venue. (No bar) Better still, and the real highlight, Miranda Heldt will be singing for us, just as she does professionally there in London. This is a rare opportunity and well worth the £10.

We, in Langham, had the privilege of hosting the Licensing of Canon Julie Hutchinson. A truly memorable and wonderful Service. The Bishop preached on the need for all of us to be involved in the work of the church. We look forward to Julie leading and helping each one of us in this role. So many played their part in this Service - the organist, band, choir, wardens, flower arrangers and all the amazing refreshments among those who remained less visible.

The five southern churches now look forward to welcoming Julie and her husband, Philip, into their parishes and hope they will be very happy with us.

Autumn seems to be racing ahead; the Harvest Services and meals will be over before the next magazine is printed. The biennial Street Market took place in torrential rain on Bank Holiday Monday - but still seemed to attract a huge number of people and was fun.

On November 14th there will be a Barn Dance in Langham School in aid of church funds.
