Dear Friends,<br />

<strong>November</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

<strong>November</strong> is here and you begin to wonder where the year has<br />

gone. The clocks have gone back, the darkness draws in,<br />

the trees are bare, and morning mist can lie on the fields.<br />

<strong>November</strong> is very much a time of remembering. It begins<br />

with our “Service of Light” on the 29th October. During this<br />

service we remember and pray for family members or<br />

friends who have passed away. Those who we know<br />

personally. On Armistice Day, 11th <strong>November</strong> we will gather<br />

at 11 0’Clock around the Cenotaph in Market Rasen for<br />

our Act of Remembrance. On the 12th <strong>November</strong> we<br />

will hold our annual Service of Remembrance with the<br />

Royal British Legion. At this service we will remember<br />

those who made great sacrifice, have died or have<br />

been injured or maimed fighting to protect us, to bring peace and justice for all<br />

people and continue to do so throughout the world today. As well as honouring<br />

those who gave their lives, we must also honour their memory in keeping faith<br />

with them and use our energies to build the sort of world that they held dear. For<br />

peace and harmony amongst all nations and peoples.<br />

As the years go by, there are less and less people who were living during the<br />

Second World War. However it is important to stop and remember the great<br />

sacrifices that were made by so many, and those who make sacrifice today. The<br />

freedoms that we continue to enjoy today have come at great cost.<br />

The sacrifice made by others reminds me of the sacrifice that Jesus made for<br />

us. In John’s Gospel we read the famous words “Greater love has no man than<br />

this:to lay down one’s life for his friend” (John 15:13). Jesus gave us the ultimate<br />

sacrifice for our freedom.<br />

At the end of <strong>November</strong>, our Church year will come to a close and we begin the<br />

season of Advent. Traditionally we have always held a number of Advent<br />

courses and this year will be no different. This year our Advent course has been<br />

written by Rev David Atkinson and Rev Claire Walker. The course is called “Four<br />

Candles” and each session focuses on one of the people represented and<br />

remembered by the four candles around the Advent wreath: Patriarchs,<br />

Prophets, John the Baptist and Mary. The course aims to be a preparation to<br />

welcome Jesus into our lives afresh at Christmas. A space to consider your<br />

response to God at work in your life, and to empower and equip you to live out<br />

your faith in your daily life. I hope very much that you will join one of the Advent<br />

groups.<br />

God Bless<br />

Rev Steve<br />

News from Market Rasen<br />

Church of England Primary School<br />

<strong>November</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

Welcome to our Autumn Term update from Market Rasen Church of England<br />

Primary School. Some of our Collective Worship Council members have<br />

contributed to this edition of our newsletter.<br />

In September, our Year Sixes went to Carlton Lodge in Thirsk. One child said the<br />

best thing about the residential trip was kayaking and the challenge course where<br />

the children were able to get very muddy. Another child thought the stay was a<br />

great experience where you could work on building your independence. All of the<br />

children (and adults) had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed their trip away.<br />

Our Year Five children recently wrote and performed their Harvest Festival<br />

service which took place at St. Thomas’<br />

Church. The children read about<br />

Harvest and performed Harvest songs<br />

to the rest of the school and lots of<br />

parents who were able to join us. We<br />

would like to thank everyone who<br />

donated food for the Salvation Army. It<br />

is very much appreciated by local<br />

people who benefit from your donations.<br />

We recently held our New Parents’ Evening for children and their parents who are<br />

looking to join us in September 2018. Some of our prefects helped to show the<br />

parents round and the children really enjoyed seeing our school and having the<br />

opportunity to try out activities in our Reception classes.<br />

Our Year Three/Four children will soon be visiting a Butterfly World to find out<br />

more about creatures linked to their topic and our Year One/Two children had an<br />

amazing time at Wollaton Hall where they got to see lots of exhibits at the<br />

dinosaur exhibition.<br />

The next term is fast approaching and we have lots of exciting events planned.<br />

The children are looking forward to their visit by a theatre group to perform The<br />

Wizard of Oz and we will be busy practising for the Christingle Service where the<br />

children will be presented with Christingles. We are very excited about all of the<br />

events around the town that we are going to be involved in during the lead up to<br />

Christmas. We look forward to seeing you at these events.<br />

If you wish to contact us at anytime, please phone the School Office on 01673<br />

842395 or visit our website at www.marketrasen.lincs.sch.uk<br />

You can also follow us on Twitter at @NorthWoldsFed where you will find out<br />

more about what we have been doing in school.<br />

<strong>November</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

News from Legsby Primary School<br />

It’s half term already! And Legsby School has been exceptionally busy since<br />

returning from the summer break. The children were delighted to find that in<br />

addition to the newly built Legsby Lodge, the outside play area has also been<br />

refurbished with a brand new trim trail. As ever, the children have been working<br />

hard but have still found time to get out and<br />

about in the community. We had a fabulous<br />

Harvest celebration in Legsby Church at<br />

which the pupils enjoyed sharing their work.<br />

The audience were also treated to the first<br />

performance of our choir after a term’s worth<br />

of lessons with Mrs Braddish. It was an<br />

impressive performance and their voices<br />

filled the church beautifully. Thank you to all<br />

the parents and carers who kindly donated<br />

the items for the Nomad Trust.<br />

We also sent a really enjoyable morning<br />

collecting and juicing apples, while learning all<br />

about the history of agriculture in Lincolnshire.<br />

The children have also been doing their bit for<br />

good causes. Firstly we raised money for<br />

Jeans for Genes Day by coming to school in<br />

non-uniform. And secondly, we dressed up as<br />

our favourite countries - this was to raise<br />

money to help former pupil Julia Randle<br />

achieve her goal of working with Project Trust<br />

after completing her A levels. Good luck Julia.<br />

We have also welcomed two new staff members to the team, Miss Vout and Mrs<br />

Gramson.<br />

Finally, a warm welcome to the seven Busy Bees who have joined receptions this<br />

term - they will be joined by a further 6 in January. That’s almost a swarm!<br />

Thank you to all who have supported us this term - it is always appreciated.<br />

A Letter from the Bishop<br />

<strong>November</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

Dear Friends,<br />

It has been a great encouragement to hear that a large<br />

number of people attended the recent launch of the pilot<br />

stage of the Community of St Hugh. The launch event,<br />

which took place in the magnificent setting of Stow Minster,<br />

offered people an opportunity to hear more about this new<br />

community, to share in worship together, and pledge to<br />

take part in this pilot phase and ongoing shared<br />

discussion, prayer and discernment.<br />

The Community of St Hugh is a community called to<br />

pray in, with and for the Diocese of Lincoln. It is a<br />

community of prayer called into being by God and<br />

is open to anyone, regardless of their age or<br />

experience. It invites people to deepen their sense of discipleship, their life of<br />

prayer and their experience of their faith. As we know, prayer is at the heart of our<br />

being as Christians; it should undergird our whole lives and see us set time aside<br />

to worship God and also find time to be with God and to listen for his voice in the<br />

scriptures and in the needs of others and the world we live in.<br />

In speaking about prayer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has said: ‘If<br />

we want to see things changed, it starts with prayer. It starts with a new spirit of<br />

prayer, using all the traditions, ancient and modern. When it comes, it will be<br />

linked to what has gone before, but it will look different – because it is a new<br />

renewal for new times. God’s created community is perfectly designed for its time<br />

and place. It almost always comes from below. It comes from Christians seeking<br />

Christ.’<br />

Here in the Diocese of Lincoln we have an opportunity and a responsibility to play<br />

our part in seeking to renew the whole community of greater Lincolnshire,<br />

transforming the lives of all the people God has given us to love and care for. This<br />

hope and endeavour will form an important part of our prayers as the pilot stage<br />

progresses, ahead of the planned full launch of the community at Pentecost next<br />

year (20th May 2018).<br />

If you are interested in finding out more about the Community of St Hugh, please<br />

see the information and resources published on the diocesan website, call the<br />

diocesan Mission Team (01522 50 40 50) or send an email to<br />

discipleship@lincoln.anglican.org<br />

In the meantime, may we pray for one another and for this exciting new<br />

community, and may we take encouragement from the life and legacy of St Hugh,<br />

who we will remember as a diocese on 17th <strong>November</strong>.<br />

God Bless<br />

Harvest Festival<br />

<strong>November</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

A wonderful Harvest Festival at St. Thomas Market Rasen was well attended<br />

and the congregation enjoyed the Children and Young Persons groups<br />

sharing what they had learnt through<br />

the telling of story of Jesus feeding<br />

the 5000, using Lego.<br />

After the service a ‘bring and share’<br />

lunch was thoroughly enjoyed by all,<br />

with a great selection of food on offer.<br />

A big thank you goes out to all who<br />

attended the service and shared in<br />

our Harvest Lunch .<br />

Everyone Welcome<br />

Conversations with God - First Monday monthly<br />

We have now met for a few months and have enjoyed looking at<br />

'prayer' - talking with God.<br />

As a group we have looked at why, when, what, how, and where we<br />

pray. Road signs have sparked our thoughts as to who we could pray<br />

for. Considering acronyms has encouraged us as to ways to pray.<br />

Come and join us as we discuss and pray together. Next group<br />

Dementia Service<br />

At the Dementia Service on October 1st we met to celebrate Harvest. It was<br />

a relaxed time and we sang our favourite hymns along with prayers and bible<br />

reading. Rev Peter helped us to consider how we can give thanks for the<br />

past, present and future by looking at the potato. With the potato, the<br />

farmer has to plant the seeded potato in the past to grow, we eat the refined<br />

product now, in the present, but the farmer has to think of the future by<br />

preparing the ground to plan again for a future crop.<br />

This was likened to the Church, the family of God. We build on the past, look<br />

at the present and how we can help each other in the future - thanking God<br />

for his faithfulness to us.<br />

The next Dementia Service is 5th <strong>November</strong> <strong>2017</strong> at 3pm.<br />

Come and join us. All are welcome.<br />

Our theme will be 'Jesus the Light of the World'.<br />

DIOCESE OF LINCOLN LADIES’ CHOIR<br />

On Saturday 14th October, we were treated to a concert at St Thomas’ given by<br />

the Diocesan Ladies Choir under the leadership of their director, Hilary Punnett.<br />

The programme started with 3 short pieces arranged for upper voices, including<br />

the folk tune Down by the Sally Gardens. We then moved onto the concert’s<br />

main work, the Requiem by<br />

Gabriel Faure. This challenging<br />

work is in 7 movements and was<br />

expertly conducted by Hilary and<br />

e x p e r t l y a c c o m p a n i e d b y<br />

Malcolm Pentelow on the organ.<br />

The choir gave a splendid<br />

performance which was much<br />

appreciated by the audience.<br />

A raffle was followed by a light<br />

buffet in the Church Room.<br />

Many thanks to the Diocesan Ladies Choir, Hilary Punnett and Malcolm<br />

Pentelow for giving us a splendid concert and to those who organised the<br />

tickets, raffle and refreshments.<br />

Thank you to all who have bought Children’s<br />

Society Christmas Cards and other items so<br />

far. Orders to the value of over £450 have<br />

been made and the cards etc should be with<br />

us soon. It is not too late to order cards or<br />

other items such as Advent calendars and<br />

Advent candles, gift bags and wrapping<br />

paper. If you don’t see me in Church you<br />

can always give me a ring on 842257. Last year 49p in the £ on card orders went<br />

to the work of The Society, so buying cards or other items is a very easy way to<br />

support this work.<br />

Thank you, too, to those who have handed in their House Boxes. If you haven’t yet<br />

done so, please give your Box to Jenny or to me as soon as possible. Jenny would<br />

like to have all the Boxes in by Sunday 5 th <strong>November</strong>. If you would like your Box to<br />

be collected, please give me a ring, 842257.<br />

Sunday 3 rd December is Advent Sunday and at 3pm the annual Christingle Service<br />

will take place in St Thomas’. Those of you familiar with the Service will know what<br />

a joyful – and sometimes surprising – occasion this is with a large congregation and<br />

the children of Market Rasen Primary School taking part and there’s always the<br />

excitement of the lighting of the Christingle candles! I hope that you will be able to<br />

join in the excitement this year. All money collected at the Service goes to support<br />

the work of The Children’s Society.<br />

Mal<br />

Bringing Hope<br />

and young people to create a more fair and just society for us all. The Society<br />

works with children wherever they are disadvantaged or in danger - on the street –<br />

in prison – in schools - in the home – in communities,<br />

If you believe every child deserves a decent chance in life,<br />

you believe in everything we stand for.<br />
