I’ve been expecting you

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desertto be tempted by the devil” – Matt 4v1

During the season of Lent, Christiansremember how Jesus was tempted inthe desert before the start of his ministryand how, with God’s strength, heresisted temptation and survived hisconfrontation with the devil. If we readSt Matthew’s account of Jesus’temptation, we will see that Jesus wastempted in various different ways – andthat he resisted these temptations. Hecame face to face with the evil one in away that many of us have not and –crucially– he recognised the devil and histemptations for what they were –destructive lies!

If we want to live a good life thathonours God, we too must resisttemptation. But the question for us thisLent is: how can we recognisetemptation when we see it in our lives?For many of us in the developed world,we live in a place of comfort,complacency and rampant materialism –and yet with increasingly fewer morallandmarks and comfortable certainties.There are many ways we can take it easyin life, and there is no motivation to doanything the hard way.

So how can we know when we arebeing confronted with real spiritualtemptation in our world? The clue is

there in Jesus’ confrontation with theDevil. If we believe that we can be self-sufficient, that we can always putourselves first at the cost of others, thatwe can be invincible through whateverpower we can wield – then we aredeceiving ourselves, because this is nothow it really is in the world that Godhas created and redeemed - and willultimately judge.

Satan lied to Jesus – and that is why,elsewhere, Jesus calls Satan the father oflies (John 8v44). But Jesus saw throughthe lies in his world – and we must learnto see through the lies in ours.Temptation for us might be to dosomething we shouldn’t – or perhaps tonot do something that we should. But,either way, it will involve giving in to adangerous delusion.

And, while we might not have a Bondvillain-style confrontation with Satan asJesus did, we should be expecting thatimpostor, temptation, at any time and inany place inour flawedand fallenworld. Andit mattersthat we winagainst himin our lives.The firstpart ofresistingtemptationis to be alert

Stephen’s Letter

and discerning when temptation comesto call – and, thankfully, with God’shelp through the Holy Spirit, we can beready, if we pray regularly and reflectcarefully on the complexities of ourworld.

May I wish you all a wise, discerning,holy – and victorious! – Lent.

With best wishes,

Stephen

Another busy month in the life of StAndrew’s! Here is just a flavour:

Our school value this Termhas been Courage

We have been exploring Biblestories and other text on the themes of‘Facing our Fears’, ‘Doing the rightthing, not the easy thing’ and Givingothers courage. We have realised thathaving courage doesn’t take the worryand fear away. But we realise that whenwe face our fears and remember thatothers are there to support us and helpus through, good things are often on theother side.

Celebratingour children

Each Friday morning is the highlight ofour week as we celebrate the ongoingachievements of the children. It was

lovely to welcome so many parents tothe school once again this month as wellas seven W.I. members who also joinedus for coffee from 8.30am. This is awonderful opportunity to hear a little ofwhat the children have done as a fewindividuals share pieces of work they areparticularly proud of. Please do drop inon the final Friday morning of eachterm if you would like to have a glimpseof school life. Open to you all.

We like to provide the children with asmany opportunities as we can to exceland demonstrate their love of learningthrough whichever means they choose.Our homework projects give them thisplatform: The children’s spectaculartopic homework projects are put ondisplay during the last week of term.Such attention to detail is given tomaking these projects so fantastic; a realcelebration of the children’s learningthrough the term.

Chedworth Parish CouncilNews from our FebruaryMeeting

It’s not all about the housing

The Parish Council needs afew minutes of your time tohelp us find out if there is stilla need for affordable housingin Chedworth.

We have compiled a new survey,included with this edition of the Hill andValley, which also includes questions onwhat you think our priorities should be.

Please take the time to fill out and returnthe form - even if you don’t have ahousing need, your views on what isimportant to you in the village will helpus when making decisions on what weshould do and how we should spendyour money.

The subject of building new housing inthe village always sparks strong feelingsand it is important for the ParishCouncil to have firm facts about exactlywhat the need is to help us makedecisions when any opportunity comesforward.If you don’t receive your copy of thesurvey please contact a member of thecouncil or clerk.

Drop in session proved useful

The Drop-in session which the ParishCouncil organised so that villagers couldmeet representatives from ThamesWater, the police, the Ambulance serviceand our county councillor provedvaluable for all concerned.A steady stream of villagers learnt aboutcrime prevention and first aid whileThames Water were given plenty offeedback about what impact the watershortages had on the village.Parish Councillors were also givenplenty of helpful advice by theambulance trust who had lots ofpotentially life-saving information topass on. Their top tips were:-

1. Know yournumbers. To makesure that theambulance can find

you as fast as possible you shouldbe able to tell them your gridreference when you call. Many years

Maggie’s Poem

Was sent a little poemAbout a garden gnome

Was put there with his shining faceWith no legs he couldn’t roam

So had to sit where he was putIn among the flowers

He hadn’t got a partnerSo used his magic powers

People came to look at himHe turned on all his charm

Until someone came and picked him upAnd held him on their arm

This little chap can’t be aloneAnother I must find

So brought along a pretty wifeThat’s what he had in mind

They now are a very happy pairNo more be on his own

Being in this lovely gardenHas no more urge to roam

Her first Home was at Cavendish,Suffolk and it followed her relief workin Europe after the war, it was openedas a Home for concentration campsurvivors and later to provide nursingcare for cancer patients.

Sue Ryder had a simple ethos,“Do what you can for the person infront of you” and she called the homesSOS areas.

Gloucestershire was one area in needand a ruined Manor House nearCheltenham was acquired and rebuilt asLeckhampton Court Hospice.

In 2017 there are 7 Hospices and 5Neurological Care Centres in the UK.Money is raised by the many shops,Legacy giving, Lottery giving, “BikeRide for Ryder” and a Winter Ball. Wewere shown a charming video of alarge Cake Sale which raised hundredsof pounds, this was filmed by a Patient’sSon who wished to give back hissupport for the loving care his Motherhad been given.

It is with great pleasure and alsogratitude that I am able to reportthat we have been awarded a grantfrom the England and Wales CricketTrust (EWCT).

The suppliers of the mobile groundcovers have confirmed that they areable to deliver the equipment beforethe start on the forthcoming season.So, this will definitely help us to“get the game on” when faced withinclement summer weather!

The forthcoming season will start atthe end of April, with the regularfriendly fixture with Stowell Park.Our first game in the league will beplayed on the first Saturday in May.This may seem a little way off at themoment but preparations will be

Yoga Classes

GENTLE YOGA CLASSESat COLN VALLEY

by Anne Sutherland

Over the last few years I haverecommenced teaching yoga in theCotswolds area. Perhaps because I wasbrought up on a farm in New Zealand,I feel at home in the countryside hereand have enjoyed living inGloucestershire for several years. In2015 I started some yoga classes in theColn Valley Village Hall and we delightin experiencing the daily rhythm of rurallife…the horses being exercised, swanson the river, the odd fox running alonga fence-line, the sheep eagerly awaitingtheir winter feed, mist lifting and snowyegrets delicately exploring…totallystunning! All happening while we workthrough our yoga programme in thecosy warmth of the hall. A totalprivilege to live in this part of the world!

As a teacher I have observed the needfor a gentler pace as our bodies mature.Most people are working withsomething….whether a fracture or two,injury, back or neck trouble, surgery orsome kind of medical history. Evenyounger ones today are challenged byrestrictions in muscles due to lifestylefactors. Add to this the numerousmental stresses of the busy lives we

create for ourselves! Life can be achallenge.

In response to this need, we havedesigned programmes which givestudents support, using a variety ofprops like chairs, folded blankets, blocksand straps…to enable everyone to do totheir ability. It has also been importantto create an atmosphere in class wherepeople feel safe and respected if theychoose NOT to do something. Theonly pre-requisite to attendance is thatyou can get down on the floor. Studentsalso bring a mat and a blanket to class.Other gear is provided. Both teachersare fully qualified and insured. Youwork at your pace yet learn how to geta good stretch and build strength in the

body too. Poses are designed to increasejoint and muscle mobility followed by afull body relaxation at the end.

At present we have two classesoperating from the Coln Valley VillageHall: Monday at 9-10.15am with Nickiand Thursday at 10.30-11.45am withmyself. Both have vacancies. Classes runsteadily throughout the year and youenrol for a course of usually about 8-10

Advertising - 01285 720 683 29

classes. If you have to miss a class oneweek, you can attend the other one tomake up that missed class…so a littleflexibility there. Courses work out at£10 a class but you pre-enrol for theterm.

For those uncertain about committing,you can try one class for £10 thendecide. There are no drop ins. Thismeans we can plan more effectively fora particular group of students, and youwill get to experience some changes inyour body by coming regularly.Everyone is welcome. Please don'thesitate to contact me to clarify anyqueries.

Looking forward to meeting more ofyou soon!

Best Wishes for 2017

Smile LinesMen and women

Three men were hiking through a forestwhen they came upon a large ragingriver. Needing to get on the other side,the first man prayed, "God, please giveme the strength to cross the river."Poof! God gave him big arms andstrong legs and he was able to swimacross in about two hours, havingalmost drowned twice.

After witnessing that, the second manprayed, "God, please give me strengthand the tools to cross the river." Poof!God gave him a rowboat and strongarms and strong legs and he was able torow across in about an hour afteralmost capsizing once.

Seeing what happened to the first twomen, the third man prayed, "God,please give me the strength, the toolsand the intelligence to cross the river."Poof! He was turned into a woman. Shechecked the map, went one hundredyards up stream and walked across thebridge.

Coming and going

Your child has started growing up whenhe stops asking you where he camefrom, and starts refusing to tell youwhere he's going.

Holding

Little Johnny asked his Grandma howold she was. Grandma answered, "39and holding." Johnny thought about thatand then asked: "And how old wouldyou be if you let go?

Sent away

An irritated mother complained to herfriend: “When I was a kid, my parentssent me to my room without supper if Imisbehaved. But my son has his ownTV, telephone, computer, and everycomputer game and CD player in hisroom!"

"So how do you handle it?" her friendasked.

"I send him to MY room!"

On the road

A teenager was always asking his parentsif he could borrow the family car.Pushed to the limit one day, the fatherdemanded of his son why he thought‘The Almighty’ had given him two feet.Without hesitation, the son replied:"That's easy, one for the clutch and onefor the accelerator."

Taxes

There will always be death and taxes;however, death doesn't get worse everyyear.

Village Hall NewsBringing better mobile phone coverage to Chedworth +Supporting the Village Hall

The Village Hall Committee has received a proposal to site a telecoms pole at theVillage Hall.

A company named Shared Access has identified the Village Hall as a suitable locationfor a pole to provide enhanced 4G mobile telephone coverage for the ChedworthValley.

The pole concept is a state of the art solution to mobile phone transmission and ismuch smaller, much less obtrusive and much less powerful than previous proposalsfor improved mobile phone coverage.

Shared Access will pay all the costs involved and in addition will pay the Village HallCharity some £25,000 as a single payment for a 25 year lease.

The Committee are in the process of consulting Chedworth residents and apresentation and question and answer session with “Shared Access” is beingarranged.

You may have already received the explanatory letter being sent to Chedworthresidents with the dates and times of the presentation.

Full details will be put on our website and Facebook page as soon as they becomeavailable.

If you would like to discuss this proposal further please ring me on 01285 720313.
