The Vicar Writes……August 2014
ear FriendsAs I write this, Mary and I are preparing for our annual holiday. There are two things that strike me about holidays.How do you feel when you’re about to set off on a holiday? Can’t control the smiles, can’t hold in the anticipation of discovering new landscapes, and the promise of exciting adventures! How exciting would life be if we started everyday with that same holiday feeling! Set off with a smile, an anticipation of discovering something new, a promise of an adventure, and make everyday feel like a holiday.The other thing about holidays is rest. This is true whether you are retired or working. How many times have I heard a retired person say I don't know how I had time to work!Rest. It’s a word we hear often enough, but do we really understand it’s importance in our lives? When I read through the Gospels I am impressed by the relaxed, calm pace Jesus kept from day to day. You never once see Jesus in a hurry. Even when one of Jesus’ closest friends, Lazarus, was on his deathbed, Jesus took His time getting to Bethany to be with him. How is it that Jesus moved through life so slowly and yet accomplished so much? Is there something we contemporary Christians have missed? I am reminded of a story.It seems there were two woodsmen. One day one woodsman challenged another to an all-‐day tree chopping contest. The challenger worked very hard, stopping only for a brief lunch break. The other man had a leisurely lunch and took several breaks during the day. At the end of the day, the challenger was surprised and annoyed to find that the other fellow had chopped substantially more wood than he had.“I don’t get it,” he said. “Every time I checked, you were taking a rest, yet you chopped more wood than I did.” “But you didn’t notice,” said the winning woodsman, “that I was sharpening my axe when I sat down to rest?”
Mark 6:31: Then Jesus said, "Let’s get away from the crowds for a while and rest." There were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Rest is not only vital to our spiritual lives, it is imperative if we are to be effective. Christ understood this principle and made it a point to get away, both with His
Parish of Killay August 20144
disciples and by Himself from time to time in order to rest and rejuvenate. It was Jesus way of “recharging” His spiritual, physical and emotional batteries. In doing so, He set an example for you and I to follow. We are a people too busy for our own good, too busy to stop and realise that in our frantic business we are actually accomplishing less and ageing more.According to a Greek legend, in ancient Athens a man noticed the great storyteller Aesop playing childish games with some little boys. He laughed and jeered at Aesop, asking him why he wasted his time in such frivolous activity.Aesop responded by picking up a bow, loosening its string, and placing it on the ground. Then he said to the critical Athenian, “Now, answer the riddle, if you can. Tell us what the unstrung bows implies.” The man looked at it for several moments but had no idea what point Aesop was trying to make. Aesop explained, “If you keep a bow always bent, it will break eventually, but if you let it go slack, it will be more fit for use when you want it.” People are also like that. That’s why we all need to take time to rest. In today’s Scripture, Jesus prescribed time off for His wearied disciples after they had returned from a prolonged period of ministry. And in the Old Testament, God set a pattern for us when He “rested from all His work” (Gen. 2:3). Shouldn’t we take His example seriously? Start by setting aside a special time to relax physically and renew yourself emotionally and spiritually. You will be at your best for God if you have taken time to loosen the bow.So I hope that over the next month or so you will all have time to loosen the bow so that together -‐ refreshed, we may meet the challenges that come our way as we seek to bring His Kingdom to those whom we meet.Yours in Christ

Parish NewsWe pray for all who are ill at this time or in Nursing Homes, particularly remembering those being cared for at home and for those who are caring for them: Phyllis Harries, Emlyn Bawden, Joan Davies, Beatie Loosemore, Olwen & John Iles, Joan Dobbs, Brian Smale. We also send our love to Eunice Miron, Gwyneth & Tom Bartley.
Gwyneth & Tommy send their sincere thanks to Fr Tim and church family for the prayers and messages of support received during a very difficult few weeks. ✟
Congratulations to our very own David Morgan. He has been appointed READ EMIRATUS -‐ this honour was conferred on him by the Bishop. David has served our Parish as a Lay Reader for more than 20 years and the honour is well deserved. We are really pleased and happy for you David.
✟
Once again, Congratulations are in order for Elaine & Ken Graves. A great grand-‐daughter, Callee, born to their grandson Callum and Louise. From now on, Ken will not have a full wallet!
✟ It was with great sadness that we heard of the death of Peter Dickman -‐ a kind, loyal and caring gentleman. Although he had been in Brynfield Manor for a couple of years, we all remember him, and his dear wife Kay, living in Ashgrove. Peter, who was born in 1921 at Kettering, Northants, met Kay during his war service with the RAF. He was stationed at Fairwood and Kay (who lived in the Uplands) was working in Sketty Post Office. They married in 1947, went to live in Corby, where Peter worked for Stewart & Lloyds (later British Steel). They had 2 daughters, Lynne and the late Margaret. On his retirement, he wanted to return to the place he loved, Swansea, and they settled in Ashgrove. They both were regular worshippers at St Hilary’s Church and Peter was a sidesman for many years. He was passionate about anything to do with the RAF and cars and he carried out his Yoga ritual daily. He supported Kay with her hobbies and interests but, sadly, she passed away two years ago. Peter found the years without her very hard to bear but always welcomed visitors to the Nursing Home with his usual courteous manner. We send our sympathy to Lynne and to sons-‐in-‐law Peter and George and to grandchildren and great grandchildren.
✟
From September until the end of November, coffee will be available every Sunday after morning service at the Parish Centre. Of course, volunteers will be needed -‐ please speak to Beryl or Val with the Sundays when you can help.

Ladies GuildOur meeting, on 2nd July, was a “Members Own”, which took the form of a cream tea preceded by several Guild members telling stories, jokes or describing when and how they met their husbands.Jane Riseborough began proceedings with two risque jokes, Linda Drew repeated things her grandchildren had asked, i.e “what was Captain Hook's name before he lost his hand”?Nan Lee told of escapades on the back of a motorbike and meeting Noel at Battersea Fun Fair during the 1951 Festival of Britain. Margaret Thomas spoke of meeting Andrew on several occasions while she was working in the immigration department in Hong Kong and also seeing him at the celebrations in Brunei for the Sultan's birthday. Olive Moffatt met Harry, a Scottish soldier, who was with two friends, on the Mumbles train during the war. Margaret Grey met Colin, a sailor in the Royal Navy, from Brynhyfryd while she was staying with her aunt in Barry. Liz Restall had a more usual story, Raymond was a friend of her brother.Viv Davies brought along a small china boot ornament which evoked memories of her father. She also talked of rehearsals for the concerts which we used to hold in St Hilary's and of the one when Mona laughed so much she wet herself! Gwynneth spoke of winning a competition and receiving a prize of a book entitled “The boy Next Door” She did, in fact marry the boy next door, Fred Prestwood! Beryl Bevan spoke of joining Ladies Guild when it was “Young Wives”(as we all were in those far off days) together with her cousin, Gwynneth Whitecross and friend Mona Diment. She reminisced about the fun she had had in Guild and also of the fellowship and support she has received from members over many years. Felmai Homer ended the first part of the evening with a couple of “saucy” stories, after which we enjoyed our “Cream Teas”.
! ! ! Peoples Warden, Val Beynon, kindly agreed to chair our AGM on 9th July as Father Tim had a previous engagement and sent his apologies. The meeting began with a prayer, then proceeded with the
usual agenda for such occasions. Gwynneth Prestwood, appointed by the vicar, continued as Leader; Pam Davies, Secretary and Marian Williams, Treasurer, also remained in office. As no Guild member expressed interest in joining the committee, it also remained unchanged. Val commended Guild on the generous donations to charity of £1110 over the past year, plus it was agreed to donate a further £300 to the Church, £100 to Zack's Place and £100 to the Alzheimer's Society. The formal business was followed by cheese and wine served by the committee.

Our final evening before the summer break, was a visit to Llanelly House, a grade 1 listed Georgian manor house in Llanelli. The house was a finalist on the BBC programme “Restoration” and was championed by Laurence Llewelyn Bowen.The house was home to seven generations of the Stepney family. Restoration began in 2003 and was opened to the public ten years later. We were given a tour of the reputedly haunted house and shown a video of the restoration work. It was most interesting.Our last stop of the evening was to the
Ashburnam Golf club for a meal and fellowship. The evening was very enjoyable, the warm and friendly atmosphere compensated for the food, which although delicious, was a little cool.
Gwynneth and the committee wish everyone an enjoyable summer holiday and look forward to seeing you all on 3 September for our service in church at 7.30pm.
Tristan, Nice to see you ........

Around the main inscription are four Bible texts:
THE LORD KNOWETH THEM THAT ARE HIS (top) 2 Timothy 2:19
UNKNOWN AND YET WELL KNOWN, DYING AND BEHOLD WE LIVE (side) 2 Corinthians 6:9
IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE (base) 1 Corinthians 15:22
GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS (side) John 15:13
These four Bible verses were chosen because many of those who fought and died 100 years ago believed:
• God exists
• We are known individually by him
• Jesus Christ made it possible for us to know God
• Because of Jesus, we can have life after death
When we are silent, sometimes we can become more aware of God’s presence. Just as troops on the battlefields called out to God, you can talk to him about the big issues in your life.
Most people pray at some time in their lives. In war and in peacetime, throughout history, men and women have called out to God. Prayer connects us with God. You can use your own words or the following words of King David, written around 3,000 years ago.
Hear my prayer… When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me.
Psalm 86 verses 6 & 7
Many soldiers and their families found comfort and strength in Psalms like these and in talking to the God who promises: ‘You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.’ Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 13

Mothers’ UnionOn July 1st, we held our summer tea party. The committee assembled early in the Parish Centre to prepare the repast and set the tables, which were laid with white lace cloths and looked very festive set with scones, jam & cream and plates of assorted cakes.The raffle table soon had a variety of donated prizes with a queue forming to buy raffle tickets. The Bring & Buy table was well stocked and trade was brisk to purchase many bargains. Before tea commenced, Branch Leader, Carole, welcomed members
and friends, explaining the purpose and aims of the Mothers’ Union. Father Tim was unable to be with us but we were fortunate to be joined by Canon Geoffrey, who gave an amusing dialogue between a baby camel and his mammy in Africa, an explanation of why camels have humps and large feet. We don’t quite understand how the kangaroo became involved!After the tea, which was enjoyed by all, Canon Geoffrey
called the winning raffle numbers, bringing an end to an enjoyable afternoon of fellowship.

Music SocietyA very repectable number of friends and visitors, together with a good turn out from the membership, helped to swell the attendance at the Coffee Evening organised for the July meeting and no one went away disappointed after being beautifully entertained by principal members of Uplands Arts. The programme was devoted to excerpts from the works of Gilbert & Sullivan with many of the chosen numbers taken from the lesser known works. Several of the performers are household names when it comes to Gilbert & Sullivan.The programme opened with a number from ‘The Pirates of Penzance’ which was performed by the whole company. This was followed by a trilogy from ‘Ruddigore’ with Catherine Brown, Claire Hanney and Adrian Williams taking part. This was followed by two numbers from ‘The Mikado’ by Andrew Powell and Claire. Amy Hart sang a number from ‘Sorceror’, and excerpts from ‘Princess Ida’ were the next two selections sung by Catherine Brown and Bronwen Beckett. Andrew Richards then sang a number from
‘Iolanthe’ before Adrian Williams and the whole company sang the popular number from ‘H.M.S. Pinafore’ entitled ‘When I was a Lad’ and Bronwen followed that with another item from ‘Pinafore’.The programme was rounded off with
several numbers from ‘Yeomen of the Guard’ as a preview to Uplands Arts forthcoming performance of that Opera and performed by Dafydd Mills, Andrew Powell, Catherine Brown and the whole company.The evening was compered by Ann Cowper with some amusing anecdotal situations and all the music was superbly accompanied by Roger Hart who was responsible for devising the
whole programme.Father Tim thanked Roger and all the artistes for a very enjoyable evening and impresed upon the audience the importance of supporting amateur musical theatre productions. Slips were passed around reminding everyone of this responsibility when Uplands Arts perform ‘The Yeoman of the Guard’ at Taliesin from 24th -‐ 27th September, 2014 to commence at 7:15 pm. Tickets may be obtained from the ticket secretary Tel No: 581162.Please support.

Accessories SaleBags of Fun
With a few hours of hard work by a team of girls (and a few boys) and many generous donations of fabulous handbags, scarves and jewellery, we managed to raise a handsome amount for church funds, in the region of £500. It certainly seemed to back up the well known saying that a girl can never have too many bags and the sale presented an opportunity both to have a clear out and a re-‐stocking at bargain prices. Many, many thanks to all those who donated, cleaned, sorted and set up; to those who baked, made coffee and washed up; to those who cleared up after, and to those who took every opportunity to sell, sell, sell.
