SUMMER <strong>2017</strong> ISSUE 132<br />

A Letter from the Vicar<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

As I write this letter, you cannot fail to be moved by the television<br />

news and Daily Papers reporting the terrible fire that took place at<br />

Grenfell Tower in London. The death toll is still rising and there are<br />

a number injured people, some critically still in hospital. Relatives<br />

are searching for missing people, whilst fearing the worst.<br />

Our Government is outlining the scope of the public<br />

enquiry and the time scale.<br />

Yet in the midst of all this, there are stories of bravery, of<br />

courage, of communities and people in communities<br />

coming together to support each other. Images on our television screens record the effect<br />

of this coming together, in acts of compassion, great kindness, of service, of providing<br />

support, of care and showing love. At the centre of this has been the various faith<br />

communities in the area who have organised collections, and distributions to those in<br />

need, clothing, food, financial assistance and sorting out temporary accommodation.<br />

There has been a coming together irrespective of creed or belief or unbelief, working<br />

together to help those most in need. The local parish Church near to Grenfell Tower, St.<br />

Clement’s Church opened at 3.00 am on Wednesday morning and since then help has<br />

poured in. In fact, there have been so many donations of clothes that they have sent them<br />

into safe storage for when they are needed.<br />

In the aftermath of such a tragedy, as those near continue to provide the support that will<br />

be needed for many years to come, something that we can all do is to pray. To pray for<br />

the community as whole, to pray for those who have lost their lives, for those who are<br />

injured, and beginning what will be a difficult journey and to thank God for all who<br />

have come together to offer support in any way.<br />

Every Blessing<br />

Rev Steve<br />

‘Thy Kingdom Come’ Beacon Event,<br />

Lincoln Cathedral.<br />

People from around the diocese gathered in Lincoln Cathedral on Saturday<br />

evening (3rd June <strong>2017</strong>) for an evening of celebration, praise and prayer as<br />

part of Thy Kingdom Come <strong>2017</strong>.<br />

One of many Beacon Events taking place around the world, the Worship<br />

Team from St Swithin’s Church in Lincoln led the worship, with the event<br />

also including short films and opportunities for those gathered to pray for<br />

loved ones and local, national and international concerns.<br />

In his address, the Bishop of Lincoln spoke on the subject of prayer,<br />

reflecting that “Prayer is a means of building our friendship with God, built<br />

up over time, nurtured by spending time waiting in his presence, putting in<br />

the hours, which any good, healthy relationship needs.”<br />

Prayer was at the very heart of the evening: those gathered were invited<br />

to stand and face north, south, east and west in the offering of prayers for<br />

the world, and later there was time to light candles, to pray around the<br />

font, to walk a labyrinth and for people to be anointed with holy oil.<br />

As the evening drew to a close, crosses decorated with prayers and images<br />

showing local communities and activities were processed down the nave, a<br />

visible sign and reflection of all that Thy Kingdom Come <strong>2017</strong> has brought<br />

to<br />

the people of our diocese and the wider world. Two photographs from<br />

activities at St Thomas’ Market Rasen were placed on these crosses to<br />

represent our community. Members of our congregation joined with people<br />

across the diocese to bring to a close this important initiative across the<br />

country. It would be good to see more of our congregation join with us in<br />

similar events in the future.<br />

Children's Society Visitor in Market Rasen<br />

In June St Thomas' had a visit by Jane Foster who is<br />

The Children's Society representative covering the<br />

diocese of Lincoln. Jane is fairly new to her post and<br />

this was a brief "getting to know you" visit. Mal and<br />

Jenny put her in the picture about The Children's<br />

Society fund raising in our Group and she met Steve<br />

and visited the Church Rooms and the Church. Jane<br />

also visited the primary school where she met<br />

Nichola Allerston and heard about the contribution<br />

the pupils at the school make to the fund raising for<br />

The Children's Society through their participation in<br />

the Christingle Service. Jane is scheduled to return to<br />

Market Rasen on 24th September to speak at the<br />

10am service and is looking forward to meeting as<br />

many TCS supporters as she can at that time.<br />

Thy Kingdom Come<br />

On the 10 days between Pentecost and Ascension we joined with many churches in the Diocese<br />

by praying ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ and praying for others to come to know Jesus. The church was<br />

open on various days and times for personal prayer with Prayer Stations set up to help us in our<br />

prayers. Thank you to those who joined in with the event. It was also lovely to have the beautiful<br />

floral arrangements which had been set up for the ‘Open Churches Weekend’.<br />

We continue to have prayer on the First Monday of the month with ‘Conversations with God’.<br />

All Welcome.<br />

Next date is 3rd July <strong>2017</strong> at 2pm.<br />

Messy Church “Thy Kingdom Come”<br />

Pentecost Celebration.<br />

We finished for the summer on a real high sending water rockets<br />

into the sky, over the yew trees and beyond, spraying water as<br />

they went. Look on St Thomas’ Facebook page to see the<br />

children, small and grown up, enjoying getting wet & imagining<br />

how Jesus’ disciples must have felt as Jesus ascended into<br />

heaven. A hidden angel painting showed Jesus ascending into<br />

heaven with angels welcoming Him. Both activities led to<br />

discussion on how the disciples were feeling - were they lonely,<br />

worried or afraid or waiting for the Holy Spirit to come?<br />

Painting “Amen” onto<br />

bread with milk & then<br />

toasting (followed by<br />

eating it of course),<br />

spiral prayer plates and<br />

t h e L o r d ’s P r a y e r<br />

spinner game helped the<br />

families discover more<br />

about prayer.<br />

Play dough was used to make the disciples sitting in an<br />

upper room waiting for the Holy Spirit to arrive. Here<br />

we talked about could you be too old, too young, not<br />

clever enough to share the Good News of Jesus with<br />

our friends.<br />

Good News to the World game showed with mini<br />

smarties how the Good News spread across the world.<br />

It was great to welcome a new family to our Messy<br />

Church and spread the message further.<br />

Following our worship session, we had an excellent<br />

sausage and chips tea (thanks’ to King’s Street<br />

Chippy) followed by cake - a real party atmosphere<br />

ensued.<br />

Thank you to all who have helped run Messy Church.<br />

We are having a long summer break & intend to come<br />

back in the Autumn with a new programme based on “Church Celebrations” but following the<br />

same Messy Church ideals. Look for the dates in the church magazine and on the website.<br />

Mini Messy Church News<br />

Yet another busy month at Mini Messy Church. During June<br />

we have had the themes of Pentecost, Samson and the<br />

bumble bees, the healing of the paralysed man and Jesus<br />

helps a soldier. Our craft activities have been enjoyed by the<br />

children and their families that join us each week. We have<br />

made wind streamers, headbands with flames attached! (not<br />

real ones!), paper plate bumble bees, edible jelly baby<br />

(man) on a biscuit mat to name just a few. It is a real<br />

privilege for members of our church to spend time each<br />

week with such lovely families. As July approaches we are<br />

preparing for our end of year picnic in the Rectory Garden<br />

(weather permitting) which will be a time when we say<br />

goodbye to our leavers who are going to school in<br />

September. We wish the children and their families well as<br />

they leave us but do hope that they<br />

will keep in touch through our<br />

Messy Church activities, and special<br />

family services held at Easter and<br />

Christmas. Please hold them in your<br />

prayers. We hope that during their<br />

summer holidays they will be rested<br />

and refreshed. A huge thank you to<br />

our team of helpers who give their<br />

time each week to prepare our<br />

sessions together.<br />

Sunny Vale Open Garden - 5th August<br />

Ted & Chris Whaley are once again opening their garden at Sunny Vale, Willingham Road as<br />

part of the Market Rasen open gardens day on the 5th of August.<br />

We will be raising funds for St Thomas church with refreshments, home made cakes, produce<br />

and plant sales.<br />

The Garden is a half acre mixed garden with flowers, vegetables, soft and top fruit, greenhouse<br />

and poly-tunnel. Some of the features of the garden are the strips of ''cornfield wild flowers'', the<br />

dry beds in the front of the bungalow and the wildlife friendly areas.<br />

Help with the refreshments and the cake stall would be appreciated. Also we would like<br />

donations of cakes, buns, tray bakes and cookies.<br />

Hopefully the weather will be kind.<br />

Ted and Chris<br />

Market Rasen Primary School News<br />

Welcome to this term’s contribution to the Parish News. The end of the school year is fast<br />

approaching and we are busy as ever with lots of exciting things planned for the children.<br />

Year One and Two celebrated their new IPC topic by coming to school with their suitcases<br />

packed ready to go on holiday. The children are also looking forward to their ‘sleepover’ exit<br />

day with the opportunity to spend the evening at school with lots of fun planned.<br />

On Thursday 16 th June, the Year Five and Six children visited London for the day where they<br />

had a fantastic time visiting the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. As ever,<br />

our children were a credit to us and have enjoyed sharing what they were doing with us back<br />

at school. Our Year Six children have started rehearsals for their play and are excited to<br />

perform at the Festival Hall in a couple of weeks.<br />

We have recently celebrated our Religious Education week focusing on the key themes of<br />

Understanding Christianity. We had lots of visitors from local and Lincoln places of worship<br />

and the children had a great time studying the ‘Big Frieze’ which has resulted in creating art<br />

work to construct a large wooden cross. We are hoping to take the cross to St. Thomas’<br />

Church on Sunday 26 th June at 10.00am to include in our first Education Sunday Service.<br />

Our children will be joining the congregation for our first joint<br />

service. We look forward to as many of you as possible joining us<br />

for the service.<br />

We are very excited about our knight that we have been working<br />

on as part of the Lincoln Knight’s Trail. Our children in<br />

the federation have all been drawing<br />

representations of themselves which have been<br />

stuck onto the knight ready for him to go on<br />

display around Lincoln. Look out for him as you<br />

complete the trail, he will be in one of the key<br />

buildings in Lincoln, maybe even the Cathedral.<br />

Legsby Primary School News<br />

As the summer term races by, it’s time to reflect on all the exciting things that have been<br />

happening at Legsby School.<br />

Congratulations to Film Club who have just<br />

returned from their trip to Paris, where they<br />

screened their latest movie ‘Shadows of the<br />

Past’. Last year’s film was held in such high<br />

regard that, in an unprecedented move,<br />

Cinematheque Francaise invited us back for a<br />

second year running. We showed our film to<br />

an audience made up of groups from around<br />

the world and answered questions about our<br />

work. During our three day trip we also<br />

found time to see the sites and even braved<br />

the heights of the Eiffel Tower! Well done to all concerned for putting Legsby on the<br />

international map. Good luck to them on their forthcoming trips to the Edinburgh Film Festival<br />

and the British Film Institute in London where they will also be showing their film.<br />

For those that didn’t go to Paris, there was a brilliant trip to<br />

Sundown Adventure Park! The children were thrilled by the<br />

experience, and it was lovely for the adults to hear such<br />

positive comments about the behaviour of Legsby School<br />

from members of the public. Year 1 was particularly fond of<br />

the ball pool!<br />

Our school continues to grow and we have a fabulous<br />

addition to the outside area – in the form of Legsby Lodge!<br />

This brilliant National Lottery funded project not only<br />

provides an exciting area for play and exploration – but will<br />

also be a great space for guided reading and creative writing.<br />

We have a packed schedule in the run up to the holidays, with<br />

Key Stage 2 versus parents rounders match, the school fete<br />

and various other surprises for the children. Please check our<br />

website for details.<br />

And finally, a big thank you to all parents, carers and volunteers who have shown such<br />

fabulous support to the school to make this year such a success. We look forward to working<br />

with you again in the autumn under the new Co Headship of Miss Dabb and Mr Murray. Have<br />

a lovely summer!<br />
