Christmas gifts
Welcome to the Christmas 2006 edition of Impact.
The theme this time is Gifts - apt for the season of
giving.
The Christmas story has giving at its very heart. Most
of us recall the timeless story of the wise men who
travelled from the east following an unusual light in
the sky. We are told they were overjoyed when,
having made a detour, they saw again the star and eventually found themselves
standing before the infant king. What did they do? Naturally they bowed down
and worshipped, and then they gave gifts.
Giving is a sign. A sign of gratitude. Of thankfulness. So it was a proper thing
for the wise men to do. And it’s a proper thing for us, too, at Christmas-time.
If we’re honest, choosing, buying (or making) presents at Christmas can
sometimes be a pain in the backside! Some people are just so difficult to choose
for, aren’t they? And yet, if we are really to get into the Christmas spirit, giving
presents shouldn't just be ’another thing to have to tick off the list’ but something
more meaningful. Like the wise men, it should be a sign of gratitude.
Christmas is, of course, the birthday of Jesus Christ. Normally when someone
has a birthday, we give them gifts. But at Jesus’ birthday - as I often remind my
children - Jesus is so kind that he lets us give presents to each other instead.
Wow! Now, if that’s not a tremendous sign of generosity, then I don’t know what
is!
Actually, there is a greater sign of giving than that. It’s tied up in the heart of the
Christmas story itself. Scripture tells us that God loved us humans so much that
he gave his only Son, Jesus Christ to us, as a gift from heaven. A gift to be
enjoyed and celebrated. A gift to be received and unwrapped. A gift that makes
an amazing difference - not just to the Christmas season - but to the whole of
life, for it is in following and knowing Jesus Christ that true freedom is found,
both sides of eternity. Now that is a gift worth receiving and unwrapping!
So, as you choose gifts and give gifts at this wonderful season of Christmas,
don’t forget to enjoy the best gift of all - Jesus Christ. Have a very happy
Christmas - and you would be very welcome to join any of our Christmas
celebration services (see page 17 of this magazine).

fun
“I never repeat gossip,
so I’ll say this only
once…..”
“Thanks for the trumpet you
gave me for Christmas,”
little Joshua said to his
uncle” it’s the best
Christmas present I have
ever had.”
“That’s great” said his
uncle, “Are you learning
how to play it?”
“Oh I don’t play it,” the little
fellow said. “My mum gives
me 20p a day not to play it
during the day and my Dad
gives me £1 a week not to
play it at night.”
No matter how many
Christmas Cards you
send out, the first one
you get is from someone
you’ve missed.
One Christmas, mum declared that she was no
longer going to remind her children to write their
‘thank-you’ notes.
As a result, their grandmother never received
acknowledgement of the generous cheques she
had given.
The next year was very different however.
“The children came over in person to thank me,”
the grandmother told a friend triumphantly.
“How wonderful” the friend exclaimed. “What do
you think caused the change in behaviour.”
“Oh that’s easy, I didn’t sign the cheques this
year.”
Our Youngest daughter, Nancy, was
almost four. My wife and I & our four
older children had tried to prepare
Nancy for Christmas by talking with
her about the real meaning of Christmas
and why the family celebrated it.
Nancy had a wonderful Christmas
with a lot of presents and toys. A few
days later, she was talking with her
older sister about what a great Christmas
she had, and said, “I sure hope
Joseph and Mary have another
baby.”
The children of our parish had been
rehearsing their Christmas play for days,
and knew all their lines. Right on cue,
the innkeeper said “There’s no room, you
cannot stay here.”
No-one was
prepared, however,
for Mary when she
turned to Joseph
and said, “I told
you to book a
room.”

Giving a pint I mean.
Fancy a pint?
If you are one of the 5% of the population that gives
blood, brilliant, if you aren’t — why not?
There are a number of possible answers to this question,
but only two are really acceptable.
1) You do not qualify or have been declined
2) You faint at the sight of a needle
The availability of blood and the products that can be produced from blood is an
essential part of our health care system. Without an efficient and well supplied
blood donation scheme many of the procedures we take for granted from the medical
services could not take place. We tend to take it for granted that if we are severely
injured and require a transfusion that suitable blood will be available as easily
as water from the kitchen tap. Blood and its components are essential for surgery
as well as for the treatment of many cancers and immune system deficiencies.
Nearly three million donations are required in the UK annually to keep pace with
demand.
Who can give blood?
You should be able to donate blood every four months without any adverse effects if
you are:
☺ healthy
☺ weigh over 50kg
☺ Between 17 and 65 years old (or 60 for first-time donors).
A number of restrictions do apply. These are gone through fully with the nurse at the
start of each blood donation session. The assessment at the donation centre is
completely confidential.
What happens when you give blood?
• You must have eaten within a few hours before attending the blood donor
session, so that you don’t get faint or dizzy during the session.
• The next stage is to check whether you are anaemic. A few drops of blood are
taken from a prick in your finger and dropped into a coloured solution.
• If you pass the test for anaemia, you can donate one unit of blood. This
represents only 10-12 per cent of the amount of blood in an adult, and the
body quickly makes good the loss.
• A needle is inserted in a vein at the elbow. It takes about 10-15 minutes for the
blood to be taken. The needles used are sterile and discarded after a single
use - they cannot transmit infection.
• After giving blood you should relax for a further 10 minutes.
• You will be given something to eat and drink before leaving the blood donor
session.

Tel: (0114) 274 5086
How often can a person give blood?
Normally not more than once every 16 weeks. This gives your blood time to build up
its stores of iron before your next donation.
How can I become a blood donor?
It’s really easy. You can just turn up at the Sheffield Blood Donor Centre located at
Cathedral Court
Church Street
Sheffield S1 2GN
This centre is open Mon/Wed/Fri 09:00-16:30
Tue/Thu 12:00-19:00
Further information can be obtained by phoning 0845 7 711 711
Or logging onto the National Blood Service website www.blood.co.uk
Did you know? They only discovered that blood came in different types in
1900. The National Blood Service was set up 46 years later to collect and provide
blood supplies for all the hospitals in England and North Wales. 8,000 units of blood
are needed every day to meet this demand, which keeps rising. Blood comes in four
main types - O, A, B and AB. Group O is the most common which means it's in
demand the most. But blood can also be subdivided into its main components - red
cells, white cells, platelets and plasma. Unfortunately red cells only last 35 days and
platelets are only good for five days. That's why they’re always after your blood.

It’s a wrap
Gifts have been wrapped since the invention
of paper in 105 A.D. in China.
The paper-making process was kept a
secret by the Chinese for centuries, but
by 800 A.D. the process was known in
Egypt. The secret spread to Europe,
where the first paper mill was started in
1085.
Holiday gift giving began long before
Christmas. The Romans would give gifts
to one another on pagan festivals like
Saturnalia, the winter solstice, and the
Roman New Year. The tradition of gift
giving became associated with Christmas
because of the offerings of the Three
Wise Men, though early on the Church
discouraged the practice of gift giving because of its pagan associations. But by the
Middle Ages the tradition had become so popular that it became a mainstay of the
holiday season.
Wallpaper, first made in England in 1509, was the forerunner of gift wrap and was
used briefly, but it cracked or tore when folded. In the late 19 th century,. gifts were
wrapped in simple tissue paper or more sturdy brown paper. The technology did not
exist to mass produce a decorated, foldable, paper until the 1890's, when
developments in printing presses allowed coloured ink to be printed fluidly on stiffer
papers. A rotary system developed that allowed the printed paper to be rolled onto
cardboard rolls or cut into smaller sheets. The printed gift wrap industry took off at
the turn of the century
Though the practice of gift giving has a long Christmas history, those gifts being
presented in colourful paper and tied up in curls of ribbon is a relatively new
practice. While Christmas cards began to be sent in the mid-nineteenth century it
wasn't until many years later that dressing up presents in Christmas finery caught
on.
Early gift wrappers had to be especially dexterous; sticky tape wasn't invented until
1930! And it wasn't until 1932 that the rolls of adhesive tape were sold in dispensers
with cutter blades. Before then packages were tied up with string and sealing wax.
In the 20's and 30's small sticky circles were sold in packets along with folded
papers that allowed the wrapper to attach the paper. During this time also, small gift
tags and a type of sticky decorative ribbon were developed, often included in
packets of matching wrapping paper.

Over the years the look of wrapping paper
changed as well. The first wrapping paper was
decorated in the ornate style of the Victorian era,
similar to the Christmas greeting cards that had
become all the rage.
In the 30's and 40's, patterns became more
stylized due to the popularity of Art Deco.
Decorations moved away from nature to symbols
we commonly associate with Christmas today.
Popular patterns included ice skaters, snowflakes, Christmas trees, and candles.
While the symbols remained the same, the artwork became more realistic again in
the 50's and 60's. By the 70's and 80's, Madison Avenue had realized the potential
of wrapping paper and hence, wrapping paper often had movie or TV show tie-ins,
with designs incorporating popular movie or cartoon characters.
Gift wrap was saved from the rationing that many other products were subject to
during World War II. The War Office believed that gift wrap and other Christmas
traditions contributed to raising morale amongst citizens, and also believed that it
encouraged people to send packages to soldiers far from home. Some gift wrap
manufacturers turned to weapon and other wartime production, but the ones that
remained making paper saw business boom. Sales actually increased by more than
twenty percent during the war!
Innovations with gift wrap have continued. The 1980's
introduced decorative plastic and paper gift bags, though
these "new" bags weren't as new as some people
thought. The Victorians had often given their gifts in
decorated bags. The introduction of stick-on bows and
cascade ribbons in the 80's and 90's further helped less
than perfect gift wrappers. Nowadays one can wrap a gift
without even using paper, by going on-line and sending
an e-card wrapped in "virtual paper."
If Santa hadn’t left the present
wrapping until last night , he
might not have got the name
tags mixed up.

A giving church
It’s in giving that we receive. That’s the irony that lies at the heart of the famous
prayer of St Francis of Assisi (see page 19). We have found that at St Chad’s
Church. In fact, over the years St Chad’s has quietly got on with its mission of
reaching out with practical care in the name of Jesus Christ. More recently, new
projects and ways of giving have been developing, relevant to life in 21st Century
Sheffield. Allow me to highlight a few.
Besom
Besom in Sheffield is run out of St
Chad’s, headed up by Steve Winks and
team. It helps people to give - of their
time, money or things. It provides a bridge between those who have and those who
don’t. Referrals are usually from social workers, and every week the Besom Van is
out and about delivering and giving. Besom is a great organisation.
3rd Age
This is a relatively new way of giving to the more elderly members of
the community - often those who are housebound, or feel that people
have forgotten them. From home visiting to providing all sorts of interest
groups (including Over 50’s Club, Art Group, Walking Group and
more), 3rd Age is providing an avenue for people to give to the elderly.
Holiday Project
For a number of years St Chad’s has run a Holiday Project, providing holidays for
those in need who have not been able to go away for some time. It is a great way
to give!
Financial Giving
St Chad’s Church is totally self-financing. It does not receive grants from any
central funds and so is reliant on the giving of those connected with the church. We
trust they get value for money!
Some might ask why the people at St Chad’s choose to give as they do? The
cynics would say it is to earn our way into heaven. Thing is, Jesus said that we can
never earn God’s favour like that. No, we give as a response to God’s love, not to
earn it. Giving as a response is how giving should be. We give as a way of saying
‘Thank you’ - as we are thankful to God for him sending Jesus that very first Christmas,
and we are grateful too for the experience of Christ’s presence and power in
our lives today.

10 ideas for Christmas gifts
☺
☺
☺
☺
☺
You don't have to be extravagant. Small and simple presents can look
wonderful if you take the time and trouble to wrap them beautifully.
Stop and think about the person for whom you're choosing a gift. Does
Auntie really want more ornaments to dust, or would she rather have a basket
of delicious goodies which you've chosen from the supermarket shelves
as a treat?
How about giving a gift which can be savoured long after Christmas? - visit
someone who is housebound and spend some quality time with them. Your
company and the conversation would be appreciated much more than a
box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers sent through the post.
Why not make your own gift? It would certainly be unique and all the more
appreciated because of the time and love which you have put into creating
it.
If you want to spread your gift over a
whole year, you could give a subscription
to a favourite magazine - how
lovely to look forward to a present
being delivered every month. Two big
publishers Emap and IPC do special
offers at Christmas. Check out
www.giftmags.co.uk and
www.greatmagazines.co.uk for ideas.
☺ Run out of ideas? Then check out the many Alternative Gift Catalogues
and bring happiness to people you know - and those you don't!
(see page 18 in this issue)
☺
☺
Have you ever thought of sharing your Christmas Day celebrations with
someone who would otherwise be on their own? Now that really would be
a special gift, the memory of which could last a lifetime!
What about giving a healthy gift? A voucher for a spa experience would
surely please anyone - there would be time to unwind, time to think and
time to decide perhaps to live a more balanced life next year.

All kinds of "experiences" make wonderfully different gifts - theatre tokens, or
a day out somewhere special. How about coming to the Carol Service at St.
Chad's to hear about the true meaning of Christmas, if you've never been
before? Or, if you have, bring someone who hasn't and share the Christmas
message with them?
And what about giving yourself a little present?
Instead of rushing around the
shops, battling through the crowds,
weighed down by heavy parcels - take
time out to relax for a while and re-charge
your batteries. Enjoy a walk in the park, or
take the phone off the hook, sit down with
a cup of tea and enjoy a good book or
listen to some music.
Pam the poppy painter
Pam Marshall has been sharing her passion and love of painting with her students for
over twenty five years, the last seven years from her `little studio' at 33 Cockshutt Road for
both children and adult's in separate classes. She also gives one to one tuition if required.
Her love of flowers and the countryside is only surpassed by her enjoyment of painting
both. Her favourite flower has to be the bold and beautiful poppy. Local scenes are top of
her painting list as well.
She loves to paint in the Botanical gardens, which combines flowers in a beautiful setting.
Recently she was thrilled to win first prize in the still life and flower section of the `Art in the
Gardens' annual show in the Botanical Gardens with her painting of 'Teasels'. She also
finds painting very therapeutic, believing it makes you forget your troubles.
If the weather permits her groups usually manage a few outdoor sessions at Beauchief
Abbey and the beautiful Fanshaw Gate Hall, which is an artists paradise, where Cynthia
and John Ramsden kindly allow them to paint in their glorious gardens.
As an artist as well as a teacher Pam sells prints of her original watercolour paintings of
local scenes as cards at the Greenhill card shop and at Interior design at Millhouses where
they have framed prints of local scenes on
show for sale.
Pam accepts commissions for local
scenes, flowers and pet portraits, usually
working in watercolour but she also paints
in oils and acrylics when the mood takes
her!

A goat for nanny
My little grandson, Edward, gave me a goat last Christmas. What an odd present
you might think considering that (a) I'm not mad about animals, (b) I not
very keen on goats' cheese and (c) I already have a lawn mower.
Even odder is the fact that he was only just two years old at the time! However,
when he was only a month old the Christmas before, I gave him a very unusual
present - immunisation packs for 10 children in Africa. A strange gift you may
think, but he'd already received lots of toys, books and clothes when he was
born. I was so grateful that he was healthy and that soon he would be able to
have the immunisations against childhood diseases which we in this country
take for granted. He really didn't need anything else and so it seemed only
natural to want to show my gratitude by giving children, less fortunate than
himself, the opportunity for a better start in life.
This started me thinking and I was soon shopping on the
World Vision website ( though other charities like
Oxfam and Save The Children run similar schemes).
Let's face it, what do you give to friends who seem to have
everything? It's fun matching the gift to the person, too.
For instance, my husband is very keen on gardening and
we had just visited South America, so I gave him seeds
for a small community in Bolivia to plant - this would
hopefully enable them to grow enough vegetables to be
self-sufficient. The following year when I retired, my
colleagues wanted to buy me a leaving gift - so I told them
about World Vision and the alternative gift catalogue. Imagine my delight when
hens and chicken coops, hives of bees, a herd of goats, fertilizer, seeds, and
fruit trees were given to people in Africa, to help them earn a living and support
their families.
So do please log on to: www.worldvision.org.uk or phone: 0845 600 6445 to
order your free copy of the Alternative Gift Catalogue, and start choosing your
gifts right away. Then this is what happens. The people for whom you are
buying the gift receive a lovely card telling them all about their present - you
know that someone in need is benefiting in a real, practical way - everyone has
a smile on their face - you get a warm glow knowing that you have brought
happiness to lots of people - and think what you'll save by not buying rolls of
Christmas paper! At least Edward didn't have to wrap up my goat!

Prayer of St Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that
I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that
we are born to eternal life.

Woodseats HEALING ROOMs
WOODSEATS
HEALING
ROOMS
WAS OPENED ON
WEDNESDAY
SEPTEMBER 13 th
AT THE BIG TREE PUB
It was an exciting moment when we opened the side door at the Big Tree Pub on
Chesterfield Road on September 13 th this was the first session of the Woodseats
Healing Rooms
What is a Healing Room? It is rather like a doctor’s surgery. It is a place where
anyone from the community can come to be prayed for to be made well. Everyone
is welcomed and you don’t need to have a church background.
Who prays with you? We currently have a team of 25 people from 14 churches
around the city working in teams of three. We have been trained by the
“International Healing Rooms Association” based in Spokane, U.S.A.
How much does it cost? There is no charge. We believe that the Gift of Healing
should be free to all.
Why do we do this? All of us on the team believe that it was always the plan of
Jesus that his followers pray for the sick. In the Bible in Luke 10, he sends out 72
ordinary people to go to towns and villages and heal the sick. A major part of
Christ’s work on earth was healing.
The Gospel of Mark 6:55-56 says “They ran through the whole region and carried
the sick on mats to wherever he was. And wherever he went-into villages, towns or
countryside, they placed the sick in the market places. They begged him to let them
touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.”
When are we open? Wednesday mornings 10-12. Wednesday evenings 7-9
We will be closed for one day only on Wednesday 27 th of December
No appointment is necessary but come early. In the colder weather please use the
main door and go across to the left and up the stairs. Follow the posters.
You will be made welcome and offered a drink whilst you wait. The sessions are
usually about 20 minutes long
The team would recommend the excellent meal facilities at the pub, after your visit.

It’s a wonderful life
One of the things I like about
Christmas is the old films that are on
nearly every year. Films such as The
Great Escape, Mary Poppins or The
Magnificent Seven. The beauty of
them, apart from them having stood
the test of time, is that you can start
watching them half way through and
knowing the story so well can pick it
up as though you had just left the
room for a few minutes and come
back.
It’s just so with my favourite film “It’s a
wonderful life”. It is an old black and
white film but tells a story with universal
appeal. The premise of the story
is that George Baily, played by
James Stuart, is so disappointed with
life that he wishes that he had never
been born. He has not been able to
go to college but had to stay at home
in small town America, has given up
almost everything for the family
business only to see it go bust
because of a mistake on the part of
his uncle.
He decides that life now holds nothing
for him, that he is a total failure
and so he will end it all.
An angel sent to save him, Angel
Second Class Clarence Oddbody –
played by Henry Travers, believes
that the best way to show George
what a difference he has made is to
show him how his town which he
loves so much, Bedford Falls, would
be like without him, as if he had never
been born.
If you know the story you will know
that George runs the Baily Building
and Loan Company which enables
people to buy their own affordable
housing. The enemy of the piece is
Mr Potter. Mr Potter owns the only
other place that people can borrow
money from and at inflated prices at
that. He would love to see the end of
the Building and Loan Company. Clarence
takes him to Bedford Falls as it
would be if he, George, had never
been born and Potter had taken over
the town and renamed it Pottersville.
He introduces George to people who
were his friends and family who were
all a lot worse off because he had
never been born to help them.
It is a great Christmas story because
it tells of hope, of the benefits of a
loving family and friendships and how
we are never alone and that everything
that we do, no matter how small
and insignificant it is, affects everyone.
The world would be a worse
place without you! Believe it.

80 Years Ago
November 1926
MY DEAR FRIENDS,
At this time of year we have usually
to appeal for support for the
Annual Sale of Work, and this year
is no exception to the rule. It is proposed to
have a two-day sale - Thursday 9th and
Saturday 11th December. The Lady
Mayoress will open the Sale on Thursday 9th
December. In view of the tremendous debt
our district owes to Mr & Mrs Graves for the
gift of the noble park, which will become
more and more useful as time passes, there
should be a splendid gathering to meet Mrs
Graves when she opens the Sale.
WE were favoured with good weather for the
Harvest Festival and the Services were well
attended. On Saturday afternoon a band of
workers decorated the Church, making effective
use of the gifts of flowers and fruit etc
which came in freely. On Sunday, the
congregation seemed very pleased with the
decorations. The choir entered into the celebrations
with their usual keenness and the
music was very helpful.
We thank all who helped to make the Festival
a great success; but as one man said to me
“Why can’t we have the same attendance
every Sunday. We have the same choir, the
same service, the same preacher?”
Well, why not?
The Lady Mayoress - Mrs J Graves will
open the Sale on 9th December , and we
would be lacking in gratitude were we to fail
to give her a rousing welcome. The Graves’
Park will be a lasting blessing to this district.
Mrs Graves’ visit to the Sale of Work
gives us a chance to acknowledge our indebtedness.
On 11th December, Children of the Sunday
School will open the Sale. This is a new venture
on our part and I trust that friends will
rally round and make this innovation a great
success.
All our readers are asked to pray for God’s
blessing on the Sunday School which, taking
full advantage of the building of the Memorial
Hall, is beginning the new (Church) year
with a re-organisation. The World Call of
the church is a call to those at home as well
as to an advance in the foreign mission field.
Perhaps these changes in the Sunday School
are part of the response to that call from the
parish of St Chad.
A very successful meeting was held in
Church House on 15th November. Miss
Elms, who has spent 25 years in Nigeria as a
Missionary, gave a most interesting address
revealing how many changes have taken
place in that country in her 25 years
experience.
MY DEAR FRIENDS,
December 1926
My I ask your practical help for the Sale of
Work on 9th and 11th December, and your
prayers on behalf of the Parochial Mission in
February.
