home 

Welcome to the February and March 2007 edition of 

Impact. This is a time of year when light is in short supply; 

the weather is not at its best and many of us appreciate 

closing the front door at night, retreating to the 

comfort and safety of home. So ‘Home’ seems an appropriate 

theme for this edition. 

Our homes are very important to us - so much so that 

many songs have been written about home, including: 

Chris Rea’s ’Driving home for Christmas’; Simon & Garfunkle’s ’Home-ward Bound’; 

Marvin Gaye’s ’Where-ever I lay my hat, that’s my home’ and John Denver’s ’Take 

me home country roads’. 

There are also many magazines about our homes, including: ’Homes and Garden’; 

’Woman & Home’; ’Good Homes’ and ’Ideal Home’. And if you have Freeview, a 

little channel surfing will soon turn up a TV programme about homes, such as 

’Home Front’ and ’Homes under the Hammer’, plus loads without the word ‘home’ in 

the title! 

So, why the interest in homes? Partly, of course, because they play such a big part 

in our lives - but more pointedly because your home says a great deal about you, as 

well as being a place where you live and therefore belong. 

Each one of us has a need to belong - to belong to a family or a community bigger 

than ourselves, and our homes provide a place for this. 

Interestingly, Jesus enjoyed spending time in people’s homes and also talked about 

our need for a spiritual home. His famous story (often called The Prodigal Son) is 

all about a lad who was rude to his father and left home, and soon discovered 

(when things got tough) that he was rootless and sad. That’s how many feel who 

stray away from God. When he came to his senses and finally returned, what did 

he find? An angry Father? This is how many of us expect God to be, but in fact he 

found quite the opposite. Jesus tells of a heavenly Father who runs to embrace his 

son and then throws a big party to celebrate his return! The Father, in fact, has 

been watching and waiting all this time, anticipating his son’s home-coming. 

St Chad’s is a church where quite a number have been ’away’ from God, but have 

chosen to return - and as they've done so, they’ve discovered that there is a 

heavenly Father who welcomes us home. Is that your experience too? 

Enjoy this magazine and it’s ’home’ theme. It may even encourage some to make a 

conscious decision to return to the strong, embracing arms of our heavenly Father - 

and to discover the security and peace of coming ‘home’ to God.

Tommy says to the teacher 

"Miss. would you ever punish 

me for something I didn’t do" 

"No, Tommy of course not" the 

teacher replies. 

"Good” says Tommy, “cause I 

didn’t do my homework" 

Dad: "How's your science 

assignment coming on?" 

Son: "Well, my science 

teacher suggested that I use 

the Internet for research, and 

it's been very helpful. 

Dad: "Really?" 

Son: "Yes! I've already found 

17 people who will sell me 

the answers!" 

The homework schedule 

Here is an explanation of the school homework 

policy for the average student. Students should 

not spend more than ninety minutes per night. 

This time should be budgeted in the following 

manner if the student desires to achieve 

moderate to good grades in his/her classes. 

5 minutes looking for assignment. 

11 minutes calling a friend for the assignment. 

13 minutes explaining why the teacher is mean 

and just does not like children. 

8 minutes in the bathroom. 

10 minutes getting a snack. 

11 minutes checking email 

16 minutes checking the TV Guide. 

6 minutes telling parents that the teacher 

never explained the assignment. 

10 minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting 

for Mom or Dad to do the assignment. 

Teacher: Where's your homework Billy? 

Billy: I made it in to a paper plane and 

someone hijacked it! 

A language professor was lecturing 

to his English class one day. "In 

English," he said, "A double negative 

forms a positive. In some languages, 

though, such as Russian, a double 

negative is still a negative. However, 

there is no language wherein a 

double positive can form a negative." 

A voice from the back of the room 

piped up, "Yeah, right." 

Sarah and Simon were arguing over the 

breakfast table. 

"You're so stupid," said Simon. 

"That's enough" said their dad, "Simon,

Simon replied "I'm sorry you're so stupid!".

Home office 

Oh dear, this particular ‘Home’ has got itself in the news again for all the wrong 

reasons. I have no intention of getting involved with any political debate in these 

pages but I thought it might be useful if I listed what the Home Office role is, so you 

might be better able to follow developments. The Home Office is responsible for: 

• reducing and preventing crime. They are currently reforming the criminal justice 

system to put the concerns of victims of crime at the heart of the work they do. 

• keeping the UK safe from any threat to our national security. They work with the 

police and security agencies to ensure they do all they can to prevent any harm 

coming to our country or our people. 

• immigration and nationality. It's their job to regulate entry to, and settlement in, 

the UK, including passports and visas control & providing information about 

migrating to the UK, and the latest on ID cards. 

• Controlling Anti-social behaviour, which they define as any activity that impacts 

on other people in a negative way. 

(This obviously excludes Government activity! - Ed) 

• Controlling Drug misuse and working hard to help individuals and communities 

overcome it. 

• building a safe, just and tolerant society for everyone in the UK, regardless of 

their race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or age.

Happy golfers 

Today, on the radio, I heard the results of a recent survey which 

concluded that “the best golfers come from happy homes”. This 

very scientific piece of information was discussed by the presenters, 

who decided the same must be true of any sport or hobby or 

job – if someone has encouragement & support at home they will 

do better than a person who doesn’t. 

Many of you will be reading this in the privacy of your own home, where you can 

feel free to read it when & where you like, with your feet on the table if you want to, 

& pass comment on the content without fear of reprisal. Home is, hopefully, a place 

where we can be completely at ease, away from the expectations & restrictions of 

work, school & other people. If we are fortunate enough to be part of a family, home 

is also the place where someone will celebrate with you when things go well, 

commiserate with you when you feel bad, listen when you’re enthusing/moaning/ 

deliberating about something, help you when you have a problem, tell you when 

you’re being unreasonable, and love you when you’ve been a real idiot. I know 

there are some homes where this sadly isn’t the case, but many of us are the 

special individuals we are because of the love, care & encouragement of our 

families. 

My husband & I have recently done a parenting course which asked us to think 

about our vision for our family, and to identify values we want to instil in our children 

so that their hearts and minds choose to do what is right rather than wrong. If we 

are able, by our teaching & by our example, to help them grow up to be honest, 

loving, confident, respectful, forgiving, kind & generous people, we will have 

reached our goal as parents. 

Of course, this isn’t easy, & the most sobering lesson 

I learned from the course is summarised in the first 

session : “We reproduce who we are, not what we say. It 

is unreasonable to expect a child to listen to your advice & 

ignore your example.” This means when we are wrong, 

we have to admit it; we have to be honest, even when it’s 

embarrassing; we have to find a way to show we respect 

others, even when we might not agree with what they say 

or do, & we have to be generous when we’d really 

rather not! 

If, as a community, we resolve to make our homes a place of love, honesty, 

encouragement, respect, generosity & forgiveness just imagine what kind of place 

Woodseats could be, what an influential generation of people we could be raising, 

and what a great bunch of golfers we could produce!

Home-? 

"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, be it ever so humble, there's no 

place like home" - so wrote J.H. Payne in 1823 and I'm sure that, in 2007, we'd all 

still agree. 

If you have some time to spare it's fascinating browsing through Roget's Thesaurus 

of English Words and Phrases. Take the word "Home" for example. There are 

countless definitions of the word - dwelling, refuge and bolthole to name just three. 

We've all heard the well-known sayings "An Englishman's home is his castle", 

"home is where the heart is", and "home-sweet-home", but when you begin to look 

at everyday phrases or words where "home" is a pre-fix, the list is seemingly 

endless. 

Consider the following - at home; home and away; homebase; homecare; Home 

Counties; home and dry; home economics; home from home; home front; home 

furnishings; home ground; Home Guard; home help; home improvements; home in ; 

home movie; Home Office; home rule; home straight (or stretch); home team; home 

truth; homebound; homebuyer; homebuilder; homecoming; homegrown; homecooking; 

homeland; homeless; homemade; homemaker; homepage, homesick; 

homespun; homestead; hometown; homeward; and (though I'm sure most young 

people would be happier if there wasn't such a word!) homework. 

Some of these are covered in this Impact but I wonder if you can think of any more?

HOME-LESS 

In our work we often come across 

vulnerable people who are either homeless 

or have been given a home by the 

council but have nothing in it and are 

struggling to maintain their tenancy for a 

variety of reasons.. 

Sometimes people are homeless 

because they are escaping domestic 

violence such as one young lady we 

came across recently who had had to 

escape from another city because her 

children’s father had abused their 

children or the single mum who had 

been hounded out of her home because 

of an orchestrated campaign to force 

her out for no apparent reason other 

than she decided to stand up to a gang 

of youths who were throwing stones at 

her window. We also work with people 

who have been granted asylum or who 

have not been granted asylum and are 

in an even worse position than those 

who have. One family of asylum 

seekers which we came across recently 

had had to escape their home country 

because the father was a political 

journalist in a country which did not 

appreciate the dictator being criticised.. 

He and his whole family had to escape 

in the night with just the things they 

were wearing to escape the clutches of 

the secret police. They eventually made 

their way to this country because the 

father spoke excellent English and 

spent two years being moved round the 

country until their case for asylum could 

be heard and eventually were resettled 

in Sheffield. 

Some people are evicted from their 

rented accommodation by their landlord 

because they can not pay the rent or 

because they have lost their job or 

through ill health. Still others are forced 

out of the family home because they 

have reached the age of sixteen and 

because they are no longer in full time 

education the family allowance has 

been stopped. Some people come out 

of care at sixteen and find that they 

have no where to go. Others come out 

of prison or hospital with no where to 

go. They are found accommodation by 

various agencies throughout the city but 

with little family support they really 

struggle to maintain a lifestyle that any 

of us would find tolerable let alone 

enviable. 

Anyone who is homeless is entitled to 

be placed in what is called interim 

accommodation. This is short term 

accommodation which is often funded 

and supported by the council but not 

necessarily owned by them. This will 

either be a flat in a block of flats wholly 

reserved for people needing a home or 

may be individual homes dotted 

throughout the city. The agencies which 

support these people are generally 

under funded and under supported in 

their efforts. The quality of accommodation 

varies depending mainly on its age. 

We recently delivered some furniture to 

a lady in interim accommodation which 




Tel: (0114) 274 5086

was one of a number of new houses 

set in a cul-de-sac. For others it can a 

dilapidated block of flats where drug 

dealers and prostitutes ply their trade 

and people are afraid to go out after 

dark. Often we supply furniture for 

people in supported housing because 

the agency cannot afford to provide 

decent furniture themselves. It also 

means that when the family are 

eventually re-housed they have some 

furniture to transfer to their new home. 

Anyone in interim accommodation is 

given priority on the councils housing 

list. Eventually they will have amassed 

enough points to appear on the top of 

the waiting list and are offered a choice 

of council houses. They are often 

houses which no one wants, in the 

poorer areas of the city. 

One of the problems of homelessness 

is that even when granted a council 

house this does not mean that all their 

problems are over. For instance, when 

a council house is vacated the council 

have to remove every item of furniture, 

carpets, lampshades etc. This means 

that people take over their new home 

with absolutely nothing in it – not one 

stick of furniture or carpets, curtains or 

light shades – absolutely nothing. They 

have a roof over their heads but 

nothing else. No where to sit or lie 

down. No privacy and no way of cooking 

a meal or washing their clothes. 

Little wonder that people end up living 

with friends until they can find enough 

furniture to make the house liveable in. 

This means that they not only have to 

pay rent on a house they are not living 

in but also have to contribute to the 

house they are living in. If you have 

grown up in an environment where you 

have seen little positive parenting or 

maybe been in the care of social services 

all your life then you will have little 

idea about how to maintain a home or 

about cooking a balanced meal or eating 

healthily. Even simple budgeting is 

beyond a lot of people. They then find 

themselves in a position where, 

because they cannot maintain their 

tenancy they once again find themselves 

homeless or have to abandon 

their tenancy because of problems in 

the community. They are then back 

where they started in a never ending 

downward spiral. 

There are many agencies which try to 

help but most of them struggle to 

maintain a decent service because of 

cost constraints. They often have to 

spend many hours chasing targets to 

prove that they offer value for money 

when they should be spending time 

supporting their clients. 

However people find themselves 

homeless it is up to us to help them 

whenever we can.

is homeless of needs help to maintain a 

tenancy why not give me a ring at St 

Chads on 0114 2745086 and I will

“Love from your valentine” 

Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third 

century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor 

named Claudius. I didn't like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't the only one! A lot of 

p e o p l e shared my feelings. 

Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to 

volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in 

wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you 

might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made 

Claudius furious. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He 

thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the 

army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people 

thought his new law was cruel. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't 

going to support that law! 

Did I mention that I was a priest? One of my favourite activities was to 

marry couples. Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, I kept on 

performing marriage ceremonies -- secretly, of course. It was really 

quite exciting. Imagine a small candlelit room with only the bride and groom 

and myself. We would whisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for 

the steps of soldiers. 

One night, we did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple I was 

marrying escaped in time. I was caught. (Not quite as light on my feet as I used to 

be, I guess.) I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death. 

I tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many 

young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my 

window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love. 

One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father 

allowed her to visit me in the cell. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She 

helped me to keep my spirits up. She agreed that I did the right thing by ignoring 

the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On the day I was to die, I 

left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, 

"Love from your Valentine." 

I believe that note started 

the custom of exchanging love 

messages on Valentine's 

Day. It was written on the day I 

died, February 14, 269 

A.D. Now, every year on this day, 

people remember. But most 

importantly, they think about love 

and friendship. And when they 

think of Emperor Claudius, they 

remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- 

because they know that love can't be beaten!

Home-guard 

In the opening episode of 'Dad's Army', 

Britain's Home Guard (or rather, as it 

was called originally, the Local Defence 

Volunteers - or LDV) was born in broad daylight, on Tuesday 14 

May 1940, inside the office of George Mainwaring, the pompous 

but fiercely patriotic manager of the Walmington-on-Sea branch of 

Swallow Bank. He turned on his wireless just in time to catch the 

end of the broadcast by Anthony Eden, the secretary of state for 

war, addressed to 'men of all ages who wish to do something for 

the defence of their country': 

The historical reality, back in the summer of 1940, had not, in fact, 

been very different from the fiction and was equally shambolic. The 

date - 14 May - had been the same, although it was not until shortly 

after nine o'clock In the evening that Eden spoke to the nation via 

the BBC's Home Service. 

The Local Defence Volunteers was launched without any staff, or funds, or premises 

of its own. Eden had simply instructed his listeners 'to give in your name at your local 

police station and then, as and when we want you, we will let you know.' Before 

Eden's broadcast had ended, police stations in all regions of the nation found 

themselves deluged with eager volunteers. By the end of the first 24 hours, 250,000 

men - equal in number to the peacetime Regular Army - had registered their names. 

Membership continued to grow at a remarkably rapid rate and by the end of the 

following month it exceeded 1,400,000 - around 1,200,000 more than any of the 

Whitehall mandarins had anticipated. Order did not need to be restored: it had yet to 

be created. 

It was a while before the men of the Local Defence Volunteers were able to look - let 

alone feel - like 'proper' soldiers. Mainwaring's newly-formed platoon had to make 

do with humble armbands for military outfits, and such makeshift 'weapons' as 

pouches of pepper, pikes, pitchforks and catapults - 'They'll be using conkers next!' - 

before, belatedly, a set of ill-fitting denim uniforms and a modest supply of rifles 

arrived. 

The reality was again not so different and the wait for proper weapons was longer 

still. While the War Office searched for suitable arms from abroad, the eager 

volunteers proceeded to improvise as in the TV series. 

Ever since the start of the Blitz in September 1940, the Home Guard had come to be 

valued more as a key contributor to civil defence (liaising with the police and the firefighters, 

clearing rubble, guarding damaged banks, pubs and shops, assisting in 

rescue work and generally making itself useful in crisis situations) than as a bona 

fide anti-invasion force. 

As soon as the fears of invasion started to fade, and by the middle of 1943, with the 

Germans seemingly well on their way to defeat, the Home Guard had lost much of 

its sense of purpose and the government announced that the Home Guard would be 

stood down the following month. 

On Sunday, 3 December 1944, at a farewell parade in Hyde Park, King George VI, 

the Home Guard's Colonel-in-Chief, declared: 'History will say that your share in the 

greatest of all our struggles for freedom was a vitally important one.' At its peak the 

force had numbered 1,793,000; 1,206 of its men had either been killed on duty or 

died from wounds, and 557 more sustained serious injuries.

The changing nature of home 

What are your expectations for your home? If you were to move house tomorrow, 

what would you be looking for in a home? And what kind of things would happen 

there? 

It was not very many years ago when our homes were basic and simple. They had 

just enough furnishings so as to function as places for sleeping, eating, bathing 

(sometimes!) and bringing up children. Other than that, most things happened 

outside of the home: in the workplace or field; at the market; at school, on the 

street. 

But life in 21st Century Britain is now very different. The 

advent of TV and more recently the internet have made our 

homes into entertainment centres, with home cinema 

systems, games and music downloaded at the push of a 

button. Many now work part–time of even full-time 

from home and so the lines between work and home life are 

blurring more and more. Comfort and relaxation is also an increasingly 

important aspect of home-life, and so having sumptuous sofas; 

appropriate décor and peaceful garden is seen as crucial by many. 

None of these changes are wrong or bad in themselves - but they do 

show how home-life has changed and will probably continue to do so into 

the near future. Interestingly, as the world becomes more complicated and people’s 

lives more busy, I notice a trend towards simplicity in the home. This could be just a 

‘fad’ and yet I think it also betrays a strong desire in most of us to slow down and 

de-clutter our lives. This is actually very important, as most of us are busy doing too 

much and do not have the time to invest in the important things, like family, friendship 

and God. A move towards simplicity (in the home, and in life in general) can 

enable us to focus on a few good things, rather than lots of poor quality things. 

Finally, our homes are worth more now than ever before and as such are more of 

an asset. This can be very helpful, but also can be a great burden and a 

source of strife, conflict and disharmony when families argue 

and fall out over family homes when a loved-one dies. Take 

care over this. Such a fall-out is usually painful and regretted 

later on. Don’t forget that whilst your home (and, if you own it, 

the money tied up in it) is important, we take none of it with us 

beyond the grave. So, enjoy your home, but don’t let it dominate 

your life. There are more important things...

Home-support 

Age Concern had it’s origins in 1940 when a group of individuals, 

as well as governmental and voluntary organisations came 

together to discuss how they could improve the severe problems 

facing older people following World War Two As a result the Old 

People's Welfare Committee was born. 

This committee soon gained national recognition 

and in 1944 it became known as the National 

Old People's Welfare Committee (NOPWC), to 

distinguish it from the many local organisations 

around with the same name. In 1971 the 

NOPWC became completely independent of 

government. 

It also got a new name - Age Concern. The 

name was a hit - rather than a 'committee' the 

new name showed that local groups provided 

essential services to older people and actually 

got things done! 

One of the people that gets things done is Chris Carr, who is part of our 9am 

congregation, and she works as a Home Support Worker for Age Concern 

Sheffield supporting clients in their own homes, who are unable to do certain tasks. 

We asked Chris to tell us a little about her work and why she did it. 

My tasks are many and varied and chatting is a very important part of my job, as is 

listening. I am very fortunate that this enables me to form friendships with people 

who have such interesting backgrounds and stories to tell. The tasks that I do 

enables them to have a greater level of independence and have some control over 

how they wish to live their lives. 

I have worked as a Home Support Worker for 5 years and enjoy every minute. 

Where else can you go to work, enjoy a cup of tea in between tasks, have a laugh 

and a joke and chat, all in a days work. My friends have interesting areas of their 

lives to share and I feel privileged to be part of this. 

Age Concern Sheffield also provides luncheon clubs, day centres, swimming 

groups, a handyman service and much 

much more, as well as advice and help 

on insurance and utility providers.

Home-Start 

Home Sweet Home 

If only that could always be so - but 

sadly, sometimes it isn't. Bringing up 

children can be stressful at the best 

of times, but some circumstances can 

make life at home far from sweet. 

Relationship breakdown, the death of 

a loved one, illness of a parent or a 

child, moving to a new location without 

the proximity of family or friends, 

a multiple birth, financial worries - any 

of these can make it harder to cope 

and "normal" family life becomes a 

struggle. 

The Home-Start charity was founded in 1973 in order to address this problem 

and, like Topsy, it has grown and now has branches all over the UK. It 

is a free, confidential and non-judgemental charity and states, "Home-Start 

believes that children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents 

play the key role in giving their children a good start in life and helping them 

to achieve their full potential". Volunteers, people with parenting experience 

of their own, receive training so that they are prepared for the vital role 

which they will play when they visit families in their homes. They listen, 

reassure, offer encouragement and practical help. They may be able to give 

parents a short break from the children, and can put them in touch with local 

services and other support agencies. Volunteers can help parents to 

rediscover the joys and fun of family life, and they often build friendships 

which continue long after their support ceases to be necessary. 

If you would like Home-Start to help you, or if you would like to either 

volunteer your services or donate to the charity, you can find the Sheffield 

branch at:

Home cooking 

Home Cooking - there's nothing quite like it! 

Here's an easy recipe called 

"Simple Husband's Cake" 

and you will need: 

175g (6oz) margarine 

175g (6oz) sugar 

2 eggs 

225g (8oz) self-raising flour 

450g (1lb) mixed fruit with cherries 

1 small (200g/7oz) tin evaporated milk 

and this is all you do: 

Cream together the margarine and sugar in a 

food mixer. Drop in a couple of tablespoons of 

flour and break the eggs on top - this stops 

curdling. 

Mix well, then add the rest of the flour, the 

evaporated milk and lastly the fruit. Finish off 

with a good stir with a wooden spoon and put the mixture in a greased 2lb loaf tin. 

Cook for 1 hour at 180C (350F or gas 4) then reduce the heat to 170C (325F or 

gas3) for a further 15-20 minutes. Test with a skewer - if it comes out clean, it's 

cooked OK. Leave in the tin until cold, then turn out and wrap in foil or store in an 

air-tight tin. 

Simple? - the recipe or the husband? I'll leave the answer to you, gentlemen - but 

with Valentine's Day and Mothering Sunday just around the corner, how about 

presenting the lady in your life with a wonderful home-made cake? I'm sure she'll 

be most impressed!

Home Move 

Spring is one of the busiest times for buying & selling property, you just have to look 

how fat the Morning Telegraph is becoming! It’s difficult to gauge yet if it is a buyer 

or sellers market but, if you are thinking of selling you will almost certainly be 

competing for buyers. Here are some tips which may just help make your house 

stand out and create a good first impression: 

Catch-up with 'Deferred Maintenance'. Oil door hinges, stop squeaky floorboards 

with talcum powder, replace washers on dripping taps and missing hooks on 

the curtains. Fix all those things that you never got around to doing. Remember 

'First Impressions' count! 

Curb Appeal. House buyers 'drive by' before they pick the houses to view. Make 

yours stand out by painting the front door , planting window boxes or tubs of 

colourful flowers, and make sure the house number is visible from the road. 

The big clear out. Clutter can be distracting to people trying to visualise living in 

your home. Remove any excessive personal effects from open display. If you have 

family portraits everywhere or your children's drawings all over the fridge, it 

becomes difficult for the potential buyer to feel at home in the space. Removal of 

clutter will also make your rooms look bigger. Buy a roll of bin liners. Check out your 

local charity shops. Pack your knick-knacks in boxes and seal down the lids and 

stack them (in the garage & not the spare room) ready for the day you move. Don’t 

forget, the same theory applies to outside as well. 

Clean Wash down emulsioned walls with a soft cloth and a little detergent and 

use match pots to touch up those damaged areas. Stick down lifting edges of 

wallpaper. You can crayon in scuff-marks on darker papers. If you do re-decorate to 

sell, use neutral light colours like cream, pale yellow and white woodwork. It's a 

winner every time! And clean the windows for maximum light. Don't forget to look 

up, your viewers' will. Dust or vacuum those cobwebs away especially around light 

fittings 

Small Investments Can Have A High Payoff 

While it is impractical to spend large amounts of 

money on a home you're trying to sell, little things 

can make a big difference: low cost improvements 

like repainting your bathroom or replacing a dingy 

carpet or lino kitchen floor can have a very 

positive effect on the overall impression of the 

house. It's a well known fact that small 

investments can pay off handsomely in increasing 

the selling price of your home. 

If you have the internet there is some excellent and 

more detailed advice at 

http://homebuying.about.com/od/sellingahouse/ht/homeprep.htm 

This will not create a good first impression!

80 Years Ago 

January 1927 

MY DEAR FRIENDS, 

This year has been a very trying 

one for most of us, and we can 

hardly regret its passing. As members 

of St Chad’s we have felt the 

strain of carrying on through the long black 

months of the Strike, but even through them 

have been conscious of many blessings. As 

we enter a New Year we sincerely trust that it 

may be brighter for all, and that with renewed 

industrial activity the terrible shadow 

of unemployment may be lifted from many 

homes. The wonderful patience of many unemployed 

men has been a constant rebuke to 

many of the more fortunate, who have taken 

their good fortune in a very self-righteous 

spirit, and shown little sympathy for the less 

fortunate. 

Many of our misfortunes are largely due to a 

failing appreciation of “Spiritual Values” in 

human life, and will only be cured by a return 

to a simple faith in God, and in each other. 

Canon Spencer Elliott is coming to conduct a 

“Mission” in St Chad’s in February and I 

most earnestly ask for the prayers of all 

Christians in the parish for its success. 

The Annual Sale of Work was opened on 9th 

December by the Lady Mayoress who was 

thanked for the benefits conferred on the parish 

by the gift of Graves’ Park. The sale was 

a great success and raised £177/7/- in total. 

The congregations on Christmas Day found 

the church quietly but tastefully decorated. 

The services were well attended and there 

was a very happy spirit of “family” worship. 

We hope that everyone—faithful and indifferent 

alike had a very happy Christmas. 

February 1927 

MY DEAR FRIENDS, 

I trust that there will be a very good attendance 

at the Vestry and Parochial Meeting. 

Financially, we have nothing to complain 

about, having held our own throughout a 

very trying year. In other ways we have had 

much to be thankful for, and in particular for 

the way in which the Sunday School is settling 

down to what we trust will prove a period 

of solid progress. Mr Addy’s years of 

patient work are now yielding fruit under the 

capable control of his successor. 

The principal event of this month is the 

Mission February 8th to 17th to be 

conducted by Canon Spencer Elliott. To this 

we have looked forward with immense 

expectation. 

We have prayer for its success, God knows 

the extent of the blessing we require and He 

is able to answer our prayers. May our faith 

be great. Let us pray that the power of the 

Holy Spirit may come upon our Missioner, 

and that through him many hearts may be 

deeply stirred. 

The Sunday School celebrated completion of 

one year in the New Hall with a special 

service. There was a good attendance of 

scholars and Rev G.W.Hall, Rector of 

Norton, gave the address and spoke 

encouragingly of the progress made by St 

Chad’s since its formation in 1912. 

Martin tried a variety 

of methods to avoid 

taking the collection
