Yet another year has passed and it is time to celebrate our anniversary! Please come and join us for our delicious tea which is always a wonderful selection of homemade cakes, sausage rolls, scones, sandwiches etc.in the Chapel at 5 p.m on the 4th June when we have been at Ponts Green for 53 years. The Chapel has been in existence since 1880 when it was formed and met in a barn on the outskirts of the village. We will have a Service as usual at 6-‐30 p.m and do hope you will be able to join us.If you can come to the tea but not the Service that is just fine, or if you can only come to the Service and not the tea that is also o.k. We look forward to welcoming you.
Don’t forget that our next Healing Service is on the 30th July when we have a team from Shinewater Community Centre, Eastbourne coming to lead our Service.
The Healing Service we held on the 30th April was enjoyed by all who came and I had 3 people come up to me afterwards and tell me that they had really felt the Holy Spirit working on them as they were being prayed for.
We have had a full gas cylinder stolen from behind the Chapel recently and also somebody has hack-‐ sawed off the brass ‘stays’ which hold back the front doors. It is so sad to think that there are now people around who feel it necessary to steal from a place of Worship. We are given Ten Commandments in the Bible in Exodus 20 one of which is “You shall not steal”. I would urge you all to be vigilant with your own property because if a person is prepared to steal from the Chapel they are sure to steal from your homes and garden sheds.Look at our website for more information: www.ashburnhamchapel.co.uk

Churchwarden retirement
After 24 years as Churchwarden at Penhurst, I have decided to step down and allow someone else the opportunity to serve in this post. There have been many challenges over the years including re-‐roofing the Chancel and
re-‐ordering of the vestry to mention but a few.My wife has been a great support behind the scenes, and we are both
totally overwhelmed by the enormous generosity of all those at Penhurst Church in giving us such wonderful gifts, and thank them sincerely.

Thought for the month
“The Future You: Why the only future worth building includes everyone”
Looking at my ‘to do list’ first thing today, four things stood out. To look at a talk delivered by Pope Francis, to attend the all important WI Coffee Morning at the Sports Pavilion, to write up the notices on church and parish events for the service at Ashburnham Church tomorrow ….and start thinking about this “Thought for the Month”. By this evening I found they were all connected!
Pope Francis spoke wonderfully to a Technology, Entertainment and Design Conference in Vancouver entitled “The Future You” via a video link from The Vatican. The Pope’s message was headed “the only future worth building includes everyone”. He stressed “we all need each other, none of us is an island and … we can only build a future by standing together, including everyone.” The Pope challenged us all to “help each other all together” using the story of the Good Samaritan as a mark of the humanity needed in the “darkness of today’s conflicts.”
Suitably challenged, Elfreda and I headed towards the WI Coffee Morning. Well what a lovely event this was where “everyone” seemed to be present and there were no “I’s” sitting on their own. It did us good to see so many friends and have a good catch-‐up. The spread on the table was fantastic too and a clear gift of baking skill and love to everyone gathered.
Looking later at the church notices for tomorrow, I noticed the Parish Magazine had only eleven church and village events to attend this week. This was less than the seventeen events of the previous week, when Elfreda was double booked for the Gardening Club and the WI meetings! How wonderful that there are so many clubs and events in Ashburnham and Penhurst where everyone can be together and look after and support each other.
At the end of his talk Pope Francis asked us all to show tenderness to each other, defining it as “the love that comes close and becomes real.” He implored “each and every one of us…to become a bright candle and a reminder that light will overcome darkness.”
So each of us individually can be enough for that light and hope to shine brightly for others – but especially when we are all together in groups. So keep going to all those great events in the Parish Magazine – and let’s take our metaphorical candles and matches along with us to shine a light for all of us together.With love and every blessingJohn Cormode

Ashburnham and PenhurstWomen’s Institute
It hardly seems any time at all that our WI started up again after a long absence – spurred on by Steve the Postman, and initiated by Mary Jones in 2007. It has been a great opportunity to make friends, and the side-‐effect of bringing together women in our villages has been other new activities, including the gardening club, book groups, and the annual fete and flower show. Not to mention the MI ….
We are celebrating this birthday in June, and would like to invite all members and other ladies in the villages to our party on Monday 19th June at 7.30pm in the Pavilion. This will also be part of supporting The Great Get Together inspired by Jo Cox which happens that weekend. For numbers please could you let Rachel know you are coming on [email protected]
The Committee would like to thank all those who came along to our coffee morning on 29th April. The sun shone at the Pavilion, lots of sausage rolls and cake was eaten, and we raised a good amount for our funds. Members have been on trips recently, to the National WI Fair at Alexandra Palace, and to hear one of the original “Calendar Girls” speak at a Langham lunch in Eastbourne. Our monthly meetings have included some interesting talks on Romney Marsh Wools and the Kent Air Ambulance. Visitors and new members are always welcome – do come along to our meetings at 7.15pm on the 3rd Monday of each month at the Village Hall.

A_er over 20 years of commitment and enthusiasm, with Jenny alongside him un+l last year, Malcolm Baker has decided to step down from running the Ash Tree Inn.

Pastoral Care for Ashburnham
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”
John 14:27
Sometimes we face particular crises in our lives and we need help and support. As a Church St Peter’s seeks to reflect the healing compassion of Christ, and through our Pastoral Care team we aim to provide comfort and support, to those who are sick in hospital or at home, or recently bereaved, or who are isolated through a lack of mobility or old age, during times of physical, emotional or spiritual need. We can offer contact with a member of our pastoral team who can visit, as well offering prayer, home Holy Communion or hospital visiting if required.
We firmly believe that prayer does have an effect, and we welcome requests for prayer. We have two prayer points – one outside under the main Welcome notice at the foot of the church pathway and the other inside the church entrance door. There are cards and pens available for use. You are also welcome to contact a member of the pastoral team direct. Requests will be prayed for on a regular basis and held in strict confidence.
Please get in touch with us for an initial discussion if you would like our help.Pastoral Care Coordinator: John Cormode 01424 848415 [email protected] Care Coordinator: Storm Hann 01424 893130 [email protected] team members: John French, Catherine Duggleby, Jennifer Oldroyd, Richard Hann.

Ron’s Ramblings
By the time you read this, I shall be beardless. Although it has been one of my better beards, the time has come for its removal. A) because I’m starting to fiddle with it, with my tongue reminding me of meals from the recent past. And necessitating copious applications of lip balm, and B) my passport has run out and I need a photo for the new one. One that doesn’t make me look like a jihadist. A few people have commented on it, mind. Only the other day, I was described as ‘distinguished’, another thought I looked ‘bohemian’. Both commentators were clearly long overdue a visit to a well known opticians, as advertised on telly.What about the Prostate Problem, I hear you all cry. ( Well, last week, the bloke in the pub did, anyway ). Last month, I had the scan, which tells the radiographer where my prostate is and they marked my torso with three tattoos. They turned down my request for a ship’s anchor, like my seafaring father had and I ended up with three dots, about 1mm in size ( 16th inch, in real money). I thought, at this point, I’d go for the full Hoxton Hipster look. I’d got the beard and the tattoo, so all I needed was the topknot. Regrettably, there’s more hair on one of Brian’s pigs, than on my head. So that idea went out of the window.Next step is a daily run to Brighton, for four weeks, starting at the beginning of May. They tell me that I should start feeling a little tired, during all this, and after four weeks of driving to Brighton every day, I shan’t be at all surprised !Talking of tattoos. My daughter mentioned a character, she’d seen on some reality TV show. He had bright ginger hair and was known to his mates, as the ‘Gingerbread Man’ He thought this was great, so had three large buttons, tattooed down the front of his chest. OK, as long as his friends don’t get hungry!

A big, warm June hello from all of us here at Penhurst Retreat ………. We’re looking to the future in our liale magazine slot this month.
For some +me Trustees and Staff have been praying about how best to approach some key decisions regarding the wonderful old Manor House building. There is a need to upgrade some of the electrical cabling and to improve the quality of the water supply and pressure around the house. (Some days it seems like it is only the power of prayer that provides any water at all!) When this is done it would, a_er much prayerful and prac+cal pondering, seem prudent to re-‐order the rooms in the Manor House so that there is en-‐suite or designated bathroom provision for all guests. The thought of en-‐suite provision was first discussed publicly at our Penhurst Family Day last July and, since then, we have explored the possibility of bringing this to reality -‐ we are now in a place to launch the project.
We es+mate that the work will cost £150,000 and we have been pledged a dona+on of £50,000 to start us off in our fundraising. We hope to be able to put proposals on our website soon or, if you are interested, do ask to have a look at the plans with us over a cup of tea here. Richard and Storm

This month, for one month only due to an early summer lull, the MI article morphs in a manly way, into a book review….
A little while back I read a book (No pictures!) about men and sheds….Many of us MIers have a shed, or a barn (or two!) David Cameron apparently has one on wheels that cost 25 grand! This though is a book for men who like to ponder about their shed-‐ It’s called “The Dark Night of the Shed; Men, the midlife crisis, spirituality -‐ and sheds” and it’s written by Nick Page.
The author’s basic tenet is that there's a point in a man's life where he looks around him and asks whether this is really where he wants to be – I’ve been that man and I’ve met many more such men as part of my job. Anyhow, Nick Page decided to build a shed. Not to answer the question, but so that he'd at least be able to get some peace to think about it properly. The book is his journey of discovery, into what midlife really is about. It is
VERY funny but also pretty challenging.
One review says “If I had to choose an author to sit in a pub with, put the world to rights, enjoy a beer, share a few jokes and prod the hairy subject of God and the male midlife crisis with a stick, there are few I'd choose over Nick Page”.
It’s for men of a certain age, and the women who have to live with them. It’s for anyone who has ever looked around them and said to themselves, ‘Is that it?’ It’s for the disappointed, the anxious, the grumpy (there is of course no grumpiness in MI) the townie and the farmer. Most of all, this is a book for people who want something new and ground-‐breaking. So gents, if you want a well written, amusing and provocative book, give me a call and you can borrow mine for free!
The next MI is at the Ash on Tuesday 13th June from 8pmIt would be good to see you there.Richard 01424 893130
MI News
We thought parishioners might be interested to know that NEVILLE CRACROFT TAYLOR, MAJ XIVTH JAT LANCERS,
whose copper memorial is on the right at the rear of Ashburnham Church, was the grandson of John Read Munn.
His father, later GENERAL SIR ALEXANDER TAYLOR, on leave from India visited the family on behalf of their eldest daughter, Harriette Rosalie, also in India. He returned to Ashburnham Vicarage several times for
longer and longer visits and finally persuaded another daughter, Lydia, to promise to return to India with him.
They married at Ashburnham Church on May Day in 1860. Felicity and David Hicks

Parish Meeting The Parish Council was delighted to welcome over 50 people to the Annual Parish Meeting held on 27th April. Villagers enjoyed finding out more about local activities and organisations and also looking at plans for the new Village Hall. Congratulations
to the After School Club for another fantastic construction on their stall!
The meeting itself included reports from the Parish Council concerning the past year’s activities and financial situation. There was a strong feeling put forward via a vote at the meeting that the annual Remembrance Sunday Service take place at
10.45am with the minute’s silence at 11am. Following this decision, we can announce that Bp Ken Barham has agreed to take the service at the Memorial this year. A
detailed report on the new Village Hall was given. Now that planning permission has been granted, new fundraising initiatives have been planned and a new charitable organisation is to be set up to build and operate the new hall. The meeting agreed that the hall will be called the Ashburnham and Penhurst Community Centre. Other issues raised at the meeting included the further development of the Local Action Plan; future use of the phone box at the Pound; Highways news and the impact of
aircraft noise on our rural community.
