_______________________________________________________________________________
Remembering I have found the television pro-gramme ‗Who do you think you are?‘ fascinating as celebrities trace their family tree. I think it is the stories that are painted around each individ-ual that has been traced that I find the most fascinating. It builds a pic-ture of their character, a richer iden-tity to their family tree, and who they now think they are. Who we are and our identity is im-portant to us, not only on an individ-ual level, but also on a national level. Wootton Bassett has just been awarded Royal status for their heart-felt response to those men and women killed in conflict in Afghanistan, a conflict which marks a point in our history and, along with all other conflicts, has moulded us as a na-tion. This month will mark Re-membrance Sunday as we take time to remem-ber those who have given their lives in conflict in order that we and others can live the lives we currently live. Remembrance is an important aspect to our lives as we reflect on who we are and our identities. Looking back helps us un-derstand not only who we are, but to recognise that there is also new life after conflict and tragedy. The Christian story, the life of Christ, brings this home to us in a very pow-erful way. Christ, the son of God, lived with us and showed us how

much God loves each one of us and how to live with each other, but he was arrested, tried under false accusations and crucified. This was a time that was painfully sad and without hope. However Christ was resurrected to new life, bringing a new hope into the hearts of all who turn to Christ through God‘s Holy Spirit. A chaplain in a hospice once ex-plained this to me as THE resur-rection moment and that our life is full of resurrection moments in Christ. This means that we can expect new life and new experi-ences, moving on in hope after each sad moment, safe in the
knowledge that Christ cares for those who have passed away, without detracting from the memory of the peo-ple who have made us who we are. Remembrance is there-fore important to us; we remember Christ every Sunday in a Commun-
ion service, we remember those who have gone before us as they make us who we are and we re-member those who have died in conflict as this has made us the nation we are, but we remember knowing that we are living in a res-urrection moment gifted to us by a gracious God who believes in new starts with him.

Arnesby C. of E. Primary School
This year‘s Harvest Festival in St Peter‘s Church was at-tended by over thirty friends, families and Governors. After a welcome by Rev‘d Andy Rhoades the children took over, with readings, prayers and superb singing, despite having had only two weeks of
the new term to prepare. They had researched some in-teresting facts on where our food comes from, how we can all cut down on the number of food miles in our weekly shop, whilst also remembering those who do not have enough to eat or do not have clean water. In line with this the school has been awarded the Food for life Partnership Bronze Award. The work involved a school nutrition group ‖snag‖ (pictured above) and a lot of hard work by Mrs Poncelet.

Leicester Constabulary is asking people to avoid the risk of car theft this winter: Last winter dozens of cars were stolen in Leicestershire while owners left them defrosting with their car engines run-ning. Thieves see frosty mornings as an opportunity. If your car is stolen while you have left the keys in it, you may find your insurance will not cover you. You could also be guilty of an offence if you leave the engine running while it is parked on the road.

Information sent on behalf of Leicestershire Neighbour-hood Watch: At this time of year Deer poaching and Hare coursing becomes an issue across the County. Everyone in the rural com-munity should be extra vigilant for any signs of dead animals/remains/blood in fields, unusual tyre marks in fields or suspicious vehicles or activity. Please report any of the above to Leicestershire Constabulary without delay on 0116 222 2222. Please, under NO circumstances approach anyone you believe is engaged in these activities. A rise in shed break ins is seen at this time of year because people store garden equipment there for the winter and thieves know this. You are urged to buy a shed padlock alarm, which are available from the Neighbourhood Watch stall in Harborough‘s indoor market between 9am-1pm on the first Tuesday of the month, priced £12.50. A 34year old man has had his stolen ipad returned to him after tracking it using the free software installed on it. All owners of ipads and the latest iphones are urged to download the free software onto their equipment.
