From the Rectory The blackbirds in my garden are busy foraging

and gathering materials for their nests. The

hyacinths and primroses are out, the

snowdrops have been and gone, the daffodils

are well under way, and my washing can go

out on the line. We certainly had an early

burst of spring, even before Lent began; the

Church calendar is running late this year and

May will be just around the corner as we

celebrate Easter.

Wetland trusts and other such bodies are

justifiably nervous; with the unpredictability of

the months of March and April, the life of the

flora and fauna may be starting too early and

there could be casualties later on. Living with

uncertainty, with things that are beyond our

control, is not always easy. Increased interest

in techniques such as mindfulness can help, as

can meditation, which we have been exploring

here at St James’ (thanks to the Rev Tom

Carson for introducing this to us).

Before the BAFTA Awards this year, I

watched some films, all of which addressed

the reality of living – or

trying to live – with

things beyond our

control. In some films,

injustices were

challenged, such as in

Green Book, set partly in

the Deep South of the

USA in the days of

segregation – apparently this might make a

good Christmas movie as well as an unlikely

buddy film.

The Easter message of hope and light can

support and encourage us as we face the

realities and uncertainties in our own lives as

well as the lives of those around us. Indeed, it

can also offer hope in the life of our nation at

this time and in the light of the dramas playing

out on the world stage in 2019.

May Easter hope, light and love strengthen us

all on our journey through this year.

Devon & Exeter Jigsaw Puzzle Library On 14th September 1972 Mr George Ashby set

up the jigsaw puzzle library at St James’ Activity

Centre. A few years later a room was rented at

the Palace Gate Centre, which is run by South

Street Baptist Church. This is still the home of

the library today, which became a registered

charity in October 1979.

As our only income is from donations and gifts,

small donations from members and friends are

greatly appreciated, enabling us to continue to

provide this beneficial service.

The Library is open on weekdays from 10.00 am

until 12.00 noon, with the exception of short

breaks over Easter, in July and at Christmas.

New members are always welcome and the

library can be contacted on 01392 498539.

Puzzles can be supplied in 200 – 1000 pieces or

with large pieces for those with failing sight.

Home deliveries are available for anyone who is

housebound.

Fellowship: Letters from the Trenches in 1914 The horrors and futility of war were brought

to life by Derek Blackwell in a very moving

account of his grandfather’s fate. To

accompany his talk, Derek had taken immense

trouble to make dozens of documents,

letters, photographs and reports available,

which made the historical narrative all the

more vivid.

Alfred Hereward, Derek’s father, was born

on 25th February 1914. Alfred never really

knew his own father, also called Alfred, as he

was killed on 7th November 1914 in the Battle

of Messines, three months into the First

World War.

Derek’s grandfather was initially a member of

the Dragoon Guards. He transferred to the

Army Reserve in 1913 but later rejoined the

Dragoon Guards in 1914. When the regiment

crossed the channel to France, the soldiers

then walked all the way from Rouen to the

front in Belgium. On 5th October, Alfred

wrote one of the seven surviving letters to his

wife and baby son.

“…We live in hopes of seeing you soon. I

have had toothache for three weeks right off

without stopping, so you can tell how I feel…

Don’t forget to ask Lizzie to knit me some

socks – it is getting very cold at night, we are

marching all night at present.”

Alfred was buried in the cemetery at Neuve-

Église, aged 27 years.

Friends of Mount Pleasant Health Centre We recently joined forces with the Beacon

Centre and Westbank to run a community

cooking activity based at the Beacon Centre

on alternate Mondays from 11.00 am to

2.00 pm. This friendly group follows recipes

that are all about healthy eating and cooking

on a budget. Each session has a different

theme and ends with the opportunity to share

the food. This is part of the Wellbeing

Activity Group of the Beacon Centre, a safe

space for anyone who is struggling with

loneliness, anxiety or depression to enjoy

cookery, arts and crafts, mindfulness, creative

writing, games or simply to relax and talk.

Kate ([email protected], 01392

204979) can provide further information

about the Wellbeing Activity Group, or

Katheryn ([email protected]

or 01392 446896) will be happy to tell you

more about the community cooking sessions.

Some members of the Friends of Mount

Pleasant Health Centre have already enjoyed

the cooking sessions and recommend the

sessions for anyone who is thinking of going

along.

In addition to working with Wellbeing Exeter

and the Patient Participation Group (PPG), we

continue to do all we can to support the

health centre. During 2018, we raised over

£4,000 from our draws and sales as well as

the popular book trolley. The tubes of

pennies and other donations have also helped

with fundraising efforts and final results will be

announced by our treasurer at the AGM in

May.

The next fundraising events are the Easter

Draw from 1st to 12th April, a cake sale on

18th April and a plant sale on 30th April. We

are grateful for your continuing support,

which enables us to offer services such as

drivers and befrienders as well as activity

groups and facilities for the health centre.

Fold (along the dashed line)

Local Charity Focus: Restore In 1833 slavery was abolished in the British

Empire, or so we might think. The reality is

that abolition did not bring an end to this

atrocity. Today in the 21st century there are

more people in slavery worldwide than ever

before. An estimated 40.3 million people are

trapped in some form of slavery, held against

their will, bought and sold, and treated like a

commodity. Here in the UK, in our own area

of Devon, there are victims of exploitation,

such as human trafficking, forced labour and

domestic servitude.

What happens when a person comes out of

slavery? Only two percent ever leave their

captivity and the majority of these are never

identified. Even for those who are identified,

adequate care is not available to support them

as they deal with the emotional and mental

trauma of their experience as well as the

practicalities of getting back on their feet.

This is where Restore comes in, as a local

charity whose mission is to provide secondary

after-care to those who have fallen victim to

modern-day slavery. Through a holistic

approach to recovery, we aim to equip and empower women to live a life of freedom and

independence. Restore exists to provide

women who have experienced modern

slavery with a place to call home, a place of

safety where they can find restoration,

freedom and a hope for the future.

The chance to taste food from different cultures is

just one of the great aspects of being in the

house.

Restore delivers a well-rounded programme

looking at various areas of support and

healing.

Therapy: Seeking to break the chains of

trauma and fear.

Life skills: Support in areas such as English,

computer skills, numeracy, budgeting,

cooking and health & safety.

Wellbeing: Building confidence and resilience as well as support with physical

fitness and nutrition.

Future: Employment or volunteering

opportunities and support with agency aid,

such as benefits and legal provision.

Befriending: After

trust has been

broken, we aim to

rebuild it through

great people who

befriend residents,

take them out,

accompany them to

appointments and

offer an encouraging

smile.

The fortnightly community night is an opportunity

for women and befrienders to enjoy an evening of

activities

We need your help with restoring hope and

upholding freedom. Join us in the fight against

modern day slavery! To find out more about

modern day slavery or the work of Restore,

Has it been a while since you have tried

something new? Perhaps you tried a new

recipe for friends, planted or nurtured some

seeds in the garden, read a thought-provoking

book or learned a new language. Slowing

down and spending more time with loved

ones could also be a new thing. Change is not

always easy and it can take several weeks to

settle into a new routine.

After coming to St James’ Church a little over

a year ago, I joined the serving team and have

now settled into the routine, supporting and

assisting the clergy at the weekly Parish

Eucharist and other regular services. As I was

interested in exploring my calling as a

Christian, I began the Foundations in Christian

Ministry course, which is offered by the

diocese of Exeter. The course started in

September 2018. I felt a little nervous but

overwhelmingly excited: with supportive,

learned and friendly teachers, this was an

opportunity to grasp with both hands. Core

elements of the course include Bible study,

spirituality, theology, pastoral care, ministry

skills and vocation.

Putting into practice what I have learnt from

the course, I have been privileged to gain

experience of leading weekday Morning

Prayer at St James’, facilitating a fellowship

group on prayer at St Stephen’s, and helping

with Holy Communion services at The Lilacs,

The Old Rectory and Kingsgate retirement

complex. Fond memories from my time as a

care worker have been rekindled here.

The South West Ministry Training Course

comes alive in its vision of ‘adventurous

faith’ (through practical skills), ‘missional

hope’ (preparing ministers to serve others)

and ‘grounded love’ (supporting and

encouraging one another). It offers training

for all who want to take a deeper look into

their Christian vocation. To find out more,

Ten years ago Charlotte Rea graduated with a

degree in veterinary medicine and since then

has worked in a busy inner-city charity pet

hospital. Practising in the (highly competitive)

charity sector had been her dream but also

turned out to be a steep learning curve: the

pressure is relentless, the long shifts are

exhausting and the pet owners are sometimes

as hard to handle as the patients. This

entertaining, accessible and

thought-provoking diary of a

typical year in the author’s

working life will captivate

readers young and old. It

will make them love and feel

for the vulnerability of

animals, leave them with

some little-known (except

to vets) facts (such as that

cats have a sneezing distance of 3.2 metres

and that horses have no gall bladder) and give

them some insight into various burning issues

in the veterinary world such as animal

euthanasia, RSPCA court cases and the pitfalls

of buying and selling animals online. Beyond

specific issues in animal welfare, the book

makes us reappraise how we value animals

and what place they have, and should have, in

our physical world and our moral universe.

Rea has the gift of making individual pets and

their owners vivid to our imagination. My

favourite was Diego, the

ginger cat born with spina

bifida, who in spite of being

disabled seems totally

contented and has the good

fortune of being adored by

his veterinary nurse owner,

who brings him in a cat

carrier to work on the

train; he even has his own

travel card. While there are many sad cases of

animals and human beings living lives of

loneliness, hardship and neglect, the book also

inspires us with the bond that can exist

between pets and their owners. The

dedication of the veterinary staff and the

immense range and sophistication of

treatments, available at no cost to eligible

clients through the charity, are hugely

impressive. In spite of experiencing many

trying as well as heart-warming episodes, Rea retains her sense of humour. Her honesty and

professionalism,

her eye both for

detail and for the

bigger picture, as

well as her love

for her patients

and kindness to

their owners,

shine through and

make this book

both a moving

and a thought-

provoking read.
