From Guy Hewlett
The beginning of Lent is almost upon us. Shrove Tuesday is the 5 th
March when we will have our parish pancake party at St Andrews.
Ash Wednesday is the 6th of March when we will have a service of
Holy Communion at St Peter’s at 10 am and also at All Saints at 7.30
pm – both services will offer ‘ashing’. Our Lent groups details are
elsewhere.
The following is taken from the book Times and Seasons published by
Church House Publishing:
Lent - An Introduction to the Season
Lent may originally have followed Epiphany, just as Jesus’ sojourn in the
wilderness followed immediately on his baptism, but it soon became
firmly attached to Easter, as the principal occasion for baptism and for
the reconciliation of those who had been excluded from the Church’s
fellowship for apostasy or serious faults. This history explains the char-
acteristic notes of Lent – self-examination, penitence, self-denial, study,
and preparation for Easter, to which almsgiving has traditionally been
added.
Now is the healing time decreed
for sins of heart and word and deed,
when we in humble fear record
the wrong that we have done the Lord.
(Latin, before 12th century)
As the candidates for baptism were instructed in Christian faith, and as
penitents prepared themselves, through fasting and penance, to be re-
admitted to communion, the whole Christian community was invited
7
to join them in the process of study and repentance, the extension of
which over forty days would remind them of the forty days that Jesus
spent in the wilderness, being tested by Satan.
Ashes are an ancient sign of penitence; from the middle ages it became
the custom to begin Lent by being marked in ash with the sign of the
cross. The calculation of the forty days has varied considerably in
Christian history. It is now usual in the West to count them continu-
ously to the end of Holy Week (not including Sundays), so beginning
Lent on the sixth Wednesday before Easter, Ash Wednesday. Liturgical
dress is the simplest possible. Churches are kept bare of flowers and
decoration. Gloria in excelsis is not used. The Fourth Sunday of Lent
(Laetare or Refreshment Sunday) was allowed as a day of relief from
the rigour of Lent, and the Feast of the Annunciation almost always falls
in Lent; these breaks from austerity are the background to the modern
observance of Mothering Sunday on the Fourth Sunday of Lent.
As Holy Week approaches, the atmosphere of the season darkens; the
readings begin to anticipate the story of Christ’s suffering and death,
and the reading of the Passion Narrative gave to the Fifth Sunday its
name of Passion Sunday. There are many devotional exercises which
may be used in Lent and Holy Week outside the set liturgy. The Sta-
tions of the Cross, made popular in the West by the Franciscans after
they were granted custody of the Christian sites in the Holy Land, are
the best known.
Grannie After church, the mother asked her young son if he had enjoyed Sunday
School. “Oh yes,” he replied. “My new teacher is pretty cool – she is Je-
sus’ grand-mother.”
Startled, his mother asked what made him think that. “Obvious, she never
stops talking about Jesus,” he replied.

DEFIBRILLATOR APPEAL
Since Sept 2017 we have been raising funds to purchase two Automatic
External Defibrillators, AEDs, one for the church and the church hall.
I am delighted and proud to say we have achieved our goal, the
AED's are now available and will be in situ shortly.
To have made this possible is due to the considerable generosity shown
from numerous individual church members, church organisations to-
gether with groups using the hall, who accumulatively raised £991.
Added to this is a single donation from Alan Turner to purchase one out-
right, in fitting memory to his wife Pauline, a much loved and sadly missed
member of our congregation.
I would like to go on record of thanking Upper Gornal Councillor and
paramedic Adam Aston for his invaluable assistance and advice in this
project.
Thank you all on this wonderful achievement and to save one life will
make it all worth while!
Kindest regards, Roger Berry.
Hair-cut A minister, known for his lengthy sermons, noticed a man leave during
the middle of his message. The man returned as the service concluded.
Afterwards the minister asked the man where he had gone. “I went to
get a hair-cut,” was the reply.
“But,” protested the minister, “why didn’t you do that before the ser-
vice?”
“Because,” said the man, “I didn’t need one then.”

World Water Day is 22nd March
Clean water is one thing we take completely for granted. After all, when
did you last turn on the tap and expect filthy water to come out?
But sadly, bad water is still a daily reality for billions of people. The
United Nations wants to help them by ensuring that everyone can access
clean water by 2030. It is part of the so-called ‘2030 Agenda for Sustain-
able Development’, and an enormous challenge.
Meanwhile, this year each one of us can do at least something to help on
22nd March. A donation to Water Aid will help provide safe water to
marginalised communities worldwide. Simply go to: www.wateraid.org/

Ladies Society February meeting
Our meeting in February started with Jenny sharing with us the financial
accounts for the previous year. The financial position of the Ladies’ Soci-
ety appears to be a healthy one and we all thank Jenny for her hard work
and stewardship.
We then proceeded to participate in a quiz which Geraldine had organ-
ised and a Bring and Buy. The quiz was challenging to say the least with a
maximum of 70 points being available and with the winners scoring 33.
We really must try harder! The final round included questions about the
highway code and, given the number of questions that we all got wrong,
it seems that we should have handed in our driving licences as we left
the meeting.
The Bring and Buy was a good opportunity to buy attractive goods at a
low price and we raised £50 for the society. The meeting ended with
tea/coffee and cake and an opportunity to chat.
Next month our meeting will focus on our chosen charity for the year
which is the Church Hall fund. On April 10th we will be going to watch a
performance of Sister Act at the Dormston Theatre – always an enjoy-
able event.
I look forward to seeing you at both meetings.

Do you prefer your phone to your child?
One of Britain’s best-loved authors, Julia Donaldson (The Gruffalo and
Room on the Broom) has said how much she detests seeing parents look-
ing at their phones and ignoring their children. “You often see a parent
with the child trying to get the parent’s attention, with the parent scroll-
ing down and looking at Facebook.”

6 March – Ash Wednesday:
a good time to admit you are sorry
Have you done something which haunts you? Which makes you feel
restless and defensive, every time you think of it? Why not deal with it
this month, and put it behind you? Whatever your mistake has been,
consider what the Bible has to say to you:
‘I have not come to call the virtuous but sinners to repentance’ (said Je-
sus). (Luke 5.32)
‘Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and
to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55.7)
‘Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fast-
ing, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your
clothing. Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punish-
ing.’ (Joel 2:12-13)
God is inviting you to come to him this Ash Wednesday. What a wonder-
ful offer! Make the most of it and remember how the prodigal son was
welcomed back by his compassionate father

150g soft light brown sugar
225g Porridge Oats
50g banana chips, broken into small pieces
Method
Preheat the oven to 190 deg C / 375 F / Gas 5
Grease and base line a small 18x28x4cm roasting tin with non stick bak-

into the tin and press flat. Cook for 20minutes until golden brown, then
take out of the oven, mark into bars and leave to cool completely.
Remove the slab from the tin, peel off the paper and cut into the marked
bars.
Rebels with knitting needles
The young are rebelling again – this time, it seems, against the digital age.
A recent study of 18-to-21-year-olds found that 83 per cent prefer to
read a printed book rather than a tablet. They are also discovering the
joys of knitting, fishing, and fruit picking, doing crosswords, and gardening.
Privilege Insurance, which conducted the research, said it was great to
see the younger generation “defy stereotypes and expectations.”

19 March – St Joseph the Carpenter: gracious de-
scendant of King David
Many people know that Joseph was the father of the most famous man
who ever lived, but beyond that, we know very little about him. The Gos-
pels name him as the ‘father’ of Jesus, while also asserting that the child
was born of a virgin. Even if he wasn’t what we call the ‘biological’ father,
it was important to them that he was a distant descendant of the great
King David – a necessary qualification for the Messiah.
It’s obvious that Joseph (usually described as a ‘carpenter’) was not
wealthy, because he was allowed to offer the poor man’s sacrifice of two
pigeons or turtle doves at the presentation of his infant son. No one ex-
pected eloquence or wisdom from this man’s son. Jesus was born into an
unremarkable family, with a doubtless hard-working artisan as His father.
There would have been few luxuries in that little home at Nazareth.
Matthew begins his birth narrative with the bald statement that Mary
was engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together she became preg-
nant ‘with child from the Holy Spirit’. Joseph was not apparently privy to
the divine intervention in her life, and drew the obvious conclusion: it
was another man’s child. However, he was not the sort of man who
wished to disgrace her publicly, so he resolved to ‘dismiss her quietly’ –
end their engagement without fuss, we might say.
However, at that point Joseph had a dream in which he was told by ‘an
angel of the Lord’ not to hesitate to take Mary as his wife, because the
child conceived in her was ‘from the Holy Spirit’, and that the baby was
to be named ‘Jesus’ (‘saviour’) because He will ‘save His people from
their sins’. On waking, Joseph did as he had been instructed and took
Mary as his wife.
So far as Joseph himself is concerned, we can be pretty sure of a few
things. In human, legal terms he was the father of Jesus, he was a carpen-
ter and he had probably died before Jesus began his public ministry.

Enquiries and further information toGail Griffiths
(Administrator, Parish Office 01902 540289 – 10:00-12:00 Mon-
The little we are told suggests a devout, decent and sensitive man, one
who shared Mary’s anxiety when the 12 year-old Jesus went missing in
Jerusalem, and who presumably taught his son the trade of a carpenter.
Joseph has become an icon of the working man – there are many
churches nowadays dedicated to ‘Joseph the Worker’. He can stand in the
calendar of saints for the ’ordinary’ person, a straight-forward craftsman
who never expected or chose to be in the spotlight of history. He did
what he could, and he was obedient to everything that he believed God
required of him. To do the ‘ordinary’ thing well, to be kind, caring and
open to guidance: these are great gifts, and Joseph seems to have had
them in abundance.

Making sense of Lent
This month sees the start of Lent, the six-week period leading up to
Easter. In the early Church, it was a time when new converts were in-
structed in the faith, ready for their baptism at Easter. Over the years,
Lent has become a season of penitence, self-examination and fast-
ing. Jesus began His earthly ministry by fasting in the wilderness for 40
days and taught his disciples to fast, ‘when you fast..’ (Matthew 6:17).
Fasting might involve missing one or two meals in a day, refraining from
TV or alcohol, or whatever gets in the way of us fully focusing on God.
What are the reasons for fasting?
The act of giving up something is a tangible sacrifice to God, reminding
us of our desire to put him first in our lives.
Giving up things I value shows me how depend I can be on other
things rather than God.
Fasting helps me to surrender my ‘idols’ to God.
When fasting I am reminded of a deeper hunger and need for God in
my life: ‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they
will be filled.’ (Matthew 5:6). I learn to be more dependent on God,
while releasing the stuff I depend on in my life.
Lent can also be a time to embrace new spiritual disciplines eg joining a
study group, ‘random acts of kindness’, giving more time to prayer and Bi-
ble study Whatever you do, have a great Lent!
‘Jesus takes it for granted that his disciples will observe the pious custom of
fasting. Strict exercise of self-control is an essential feature of the Christian’s
life. Such customs have only one purpose – to make the disciples more ready
and cheerful to accomplish those things which God would have
done.’ (Dietrich Bonhoeffer).

8 March – Woodbine Willie: bringing love with cigarettes and the Bible
Here’s a ‘saint’ that the Church of England remembers from the 1st
World War – the Revd. Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy MC, or ‘Woodbine
Willie’, as everyone knew this popular, much-loved army chaplain on the
Western Front.
Studdert Kennedy (27th June 1883 – 8th March 1929) had been born in
Leeds as the seventh of nine children. After reading divinity and classics
at Trinity College Dublin, he’d studied for ordination at Ripon Clergy
College, and served his curacy at Rugby.
By the time war broke out in 1914, Studdert Kennedy was vicar of St
Paul’s Worcester. He soon volunteered to go to the Western Front as a
chaplain to the army. Life on the front line in the trenches was a des-
perate affair, but soon Studdert Kennedy had hit on a way of bringing a
few moments of relief to the stressed out soldiers: as well as good cheer
he gave out copious amounts of ‘Woodbines’, the most popular cheap
cigarette of the time.
One colleague remembered Kennedy: “he’d come down into the
trenches and say prayers with the men, have a cuppa out of a dirty tin
mug and tell a joke as good as any of us. He was a chain smoker and al-
ways carried a packet of Woodbine cigarettes that he would give out in
handfuls to us lads. That’s how he got his nickname. He came down the
trench one day to cheer us up. Had his Bible with him as usual. Well, I’d
been there for weeks, unable to write home, of course, we were going
over the top later that day. I asked him if he would write to my sweet-
heart at home, tell her I was still alive and, so far, in one piece… years
later, after the war, she showed me the letter he’d sent, very nice it was.
A lovely letter. My wife kept it until she died.”
21
Kennedy was devoted to his men, so much so that in 1917 he was
awarded the Military Cross at Messines Ridge, after running into no
man’s land in order to help the wounded during an attack on the Ger-
man frontline.
During the war, Kennedy supported the British military effort with en-
thusiasm, but soon after the war, he turned to Christian socialism and
pacifism. He was given charge of St Edmunds in Lombard St, London, and
took to writing a number of poems about his war experiences: Rough
Rhymes of a Padre (1918) and More Rough Rhymes (1919). He went on
to work for the Industrial Christian Fellowship, for whom he did speak-
ing tours. It was on one of these tours that he was taken ill, and died in
Liverpool in 1929. He was only 46.
His compassion and generosity in the face of the horrors of the Western
Front was immortalised in the song ‘Absent Friends’: “Woodbine Willie
couldn’t rest until he’d/given every bloke a final smoke/before the kill-
ing.” He himself had once described his chaplain’s ministry as taking “a
box of fags in your haversack, and a great deal of love in your heart.”
Good news if you want new clothes
The Spring fashions are out in all the shops. Are you tempted? Probably
– we spend more than £47 billion* on clothing in Britain each year.
Well, here is some refreshingly good news: cheap clothes can last as long
as designer clothes, and in many cases reasonably priced gear even offers
you better quality.
Textile scientists at the University of Leeds have carried out rigorous du-
rability tests on a range of clothes, from items costing a few pounds to
designer gear costing hundreds of pounds. The results found that T-shirts
and jeans from cheaper shops performed as well as – and often better
than – similar samples from expensive stores.

Four tips to get fit for Spring
Spring is coming. If you feel you simply HAVE to do something about
your body shape, here are some ideas. They will improve your fitness,
energy levels and quality of life:
Aim to work out two to five times a week. Exercise for at least 20 min-
utes, lasting up to an hour. Some days you will have more strength; push
harder. Other days you will feel more subdued; go easier.
Do a mixture of exercises. Include cardiovascular (running, walking), re-
sistance training (using weights or just your body) and stretching. Warm
up before each session, and cool down afterwards.
You’ll never be fit on junk food. Eat little amounts of nutritious foods at
short intervals, and you’ll become stronger and fitter more quickly.
Surround yourself with like-minded people. You will encourage each
other, whereas a couch potato may feel threatened at all your activity,
and try and slow you down

The Rectory
St James the Least
My dear Nephew Darren,
So, your vicar has appointed you to be the magazine
editor; I wonder what you have done to offend him. I
appointed our magazine editor 20 years ago, after her
dog dug up my rose bed. Sadly, she seems unaware that I gave it to her as
a penance and has been happily carrying on ever since. She has even de-
veloped a nasty persistence when it comes to chasing me for a vicar’s
letter every month (shurely shome mishtake – ed). Becoming editor has
brought out the tyrant in her.
I applaud your hope that your magazine will be a great force for good in
the community, but I fear you may be disappointed. You will hardly believe
this, but many readers of our magazine seem to ignore my pastoral letter
altogether, and instead scan the adverts for plumbers and undertakers –
and even for both – if there has been a major burst in their pipes.
In any case, here are some editorial tips to bear in mind: if you want to
keep any piece of church information confidential, then publish it in your
magazine. On the other hand, if you accidentally transpose the names of
the ladies responsible for the altar pedestal and lectern on the flower
rota, it will be spotted within seconds of publication. And you will not be
easily forgiven.
Staffing rotas can be helpful, so that people know who to blame when
anything goes wrong. Reports of meetings of monthly groups are also
welcome, because not everyone who goes to these meetings can stay
awake the whole time, and thus a report informs them about the bits
they slept through.
Always include a list of contact details for all the church officers, but
don’t worry if you mix up their various phone numbers. In fact, it can
help get people talking to each other, because in order to reach the PCC
33
Secretary, they will have had to phone most of the other PCC members
first.
My final piece of advice is to omit any deadline for submission for the fol-
lowing month. A deadline is like a red rag to a bull, and simply incites
people to break it. Whereas if you have them a bit worried that they
may be left out, they will get you the copy in good time.
I wish you many happy hours reading badly written copy, fending off fear-
ful poems, and stalking your own vicar, in vain hopes of getting his clergy
letter.
Your loving uncle,
Eustace
The mother of a choice!
Who will your Mothering Sunday card be addressed to this year? If that
sounds a silly question, consider this: last year, for the first time in the
UK, you could choose between cards that called your mother Mother,
Mum or – Mom.
Paperchase was the company who brought in the American flavoured
‘Mom’, and the reason may be linked to all the American cartoons British
children enjoy. But it seems that ‘Mom’ is also used in the UK, at least in
the Midlands.
Prof Carl Chinn, a Birmingham linguistics expert, says there is evidence
that ‘Mom’ was used prior to WW1. In Birmingham, “people have been
replacing the ‘a’ with an ‘o’ in various words since the ancient medieval
times.” Certainly the Birmingham Yardley MP, Jess Philips, uses the term
‘Mom’, and insists that Hansard record her saying ‘Mom’ and not ‘Mum’ in
the House of Commons.
