A Letter from the Curate 

Dear Friends, 

Suddenly, after what turned out to be a rather fine summer, autumn is upon us. 

Members of my household have been very busy collecting conkers and kicking 

through fallen, crunchy leaves while I have been marvelling at the changing colours 

of the landscape and turning my thoughts to the selection of Harvest Festivals I will 

take part in. 

A wonderful thing about Harvest Festival, I always think, is the number of people 

who are keen to celebrate or have fond recollections of services they attended as 

children even if they no longer go to church. There is something about being 

thankful for our food and being reminded how good it is to share what food we 

have that brings about good feeling. 

And this puts me in mind of a Bible story which I seem to have come across more 

often than usual over the recent weeks – the Feeding of the 5000. 

To refresh your memory, in this story, Jesus, having been teaching a great crowd of 

followers is about to call it a day when he realises that these followers must be 

hungry. He doesn’t want to send them home hungry so sets about finding out of 

anyone has any food to share. It seems like no-one does but then a small boy 

steps forward with his small basket of 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Hardly a lot but 

to that boy, all he had and it was all the assembled crowd had between them to 

share. 

Taking these 5 loaves and 2 fish Jesus performs a miracle and the whole crowd of 

over 5000 people are fed with baskets and baskets leftover. 

There are two things here about God and about Harvest: the first is that God 

provides more than we need and at Harvest we are reminded that the only way we 

may all be fed is by sharing what we have. The huge network of people, places and 

resources needed to feed us all each depend on one another, and the rest of us 

depend on all of them. This sharing of resources and gifts is the only way to ensure 

all are fed and cared for but there are still places and ways in which this process 

breaks down and some people are left without enough while others waste what 

they have. 

Harvest is a good time to both give thanks for what we have and to consider again 

what we might share so why not join us at one of our Harvest Festival services this 

year? St Thomas’ Market Rasen Harvest Festival is on Sunday 14 th October at 

10am, Legsby Church’s is on the same day at 4pm and Messy Church Harvest is 

on 7 th October at 4.15pm. 

Looking forward to seeing you there! 

Blessings, 

Rev Claire

Warden’s Window 

As we march into autumn with Advent only eight weeks away it is time to 

consider our options for the immediate and long term needs of St Thomas’ Church. 

Three things that currently occupy our minds are Accessibility, Comfort and 

Climate as well as increased Storage. 

We need to consider if St Thomas’ is as accessible or user friendly as it needs to 

be for the future! We have issues with step access at the South entrance, the 

accommodation of mobility support vehicles within the Nave as well as restricted 

access to the Lady Chapel. 

Chris Middleton, 

Warden & Verger 

St. Thomas’ Market Rasen 

Comfort and climate. We are all aware of the 

limitations of the current heating system. We 

need to look at our options for creating a 

heated environment suitable for a church 

which is used most days of the week that is 

cost and environmentally efficient as well as 

sustainable for the short and long term. 

Storage. We need to consider safe and 

secure storage of the equipment and goods 

currently located in the base of the tower and 

the north east corner of the nave. Whilst some 

equipment is used on a weekly basis for the 

church and others for book stalls etc on an 

occasional basis, increased storage would 

improve both the layout and tidiness of our 

church. 

Over the coming weeks and months, we will 

be looking at these issues to consider what 

can be done to make St Thomas’ Market 

Rasen a welcoming place for our worshipers 

and visitors alike.

Why not join us for a quiet day exploring the poetry of Woodbine Willie 

in word and music led by Rev Richard and Sylvia Rice-Oxley 

The Revd Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy was an Anglican Priest who served as a Chaplain in World War 

I, winning the Military Cross for bravery. His nickname was Woodbine Willie, because he kept 

soldiers supplied with cigarettes which helped calm their nerves in the face of battle. He wrote many 

poems, including a number that depict life on the Western Front, poems about the human cost of war, 

and theological reflection about it. 

Drinks provided throughout the day, please bring a packed lunch 

Please contact Rev Steve on 01673844770 or

Messy Church 

Messy Church met for the first time since the 

Summer holidays on Sunday 16 th September. 

We had great fun exploring communities – what it is 

to live in one, what makes them good, what might 

make them better and especially why we like living 

where we do. 

We made models out of gloopy mixture, tree 

mosaics from eggshells, Lego versions on local 

landmarks and cake birds’ nests! 

We wrote postcards about what we like about living 

in Market Rasen and have submitted these to be 

presented to the council in recognition of their hard 

work and assurance of our prayers. 

We also played mini golf and constructed a huge 

tree which started with a cross – you may have seen it in church soon after! 

As we gathered for our celebration time we hung our handprints full of names of 

people who love and help us onto the huge tree before learning the actions to an 

exciting new song and hearing about a story Jesus told about a mustard seed. 

Remember, even tiny beginnings can turn into something great with God’s help! 

We then prayed for people and places in our town using maps and sticky ‘seeds’ 

before another song – an old favourite this time! 

Takeaway pizza and chips were on the menu as a treat for our shared meal this 

month – as well as the usual mountain of cake! 

Join us for our next Messy Church on Sunday 7 th October at 4.15pm when we will 

be celebrating Harvest!

“A thinner blue line in our county 

would be a loss to the community” 

The Bishop of Lincoln is concerned that forecast budget pressures may lead to 

further cuts for Lincolnshire Police. 

The Right Revd Christopher Lowson says the candour of the chief constable, 

in warning of stark choices for Lincolnshire Police unless further funding is 

available, is a wake-up call for the community and government. 

The current budget is still being set. However, the plan for the future means 

changes to policing if no further funding is forthcoming. The choices to make 

savings include possible cuts to road policing and crime investigation, as well 

as community and neighbourhood policing. 

“I am willing to be a voice to ensure where possible Lincolnshire and its police 

officers get a fair deal and we do not lose further police from our 

communities. From a young age I was taught if I was in difficulty I could 

always approach a police officer – less money 

and less services means there may be no one to 

approach,” says Bishop Christopher Lowson. 

Yesterday the bishop was visiting local schools in 

Spalding (pictured below). He was welcomed 

and hosted at St Mary’s Cowbit by the school’s 

mini police. The initiative has senior school 

pupils meet local police and they are given a 

uniform with a role in the school to promote 

good behaviour. 

“The mini police are just one example of 

community based policing that is so valuable. A 

thinner blue line in our county would be a loss to 

the community,” says Bishop Christopher 

Lowson.

The Children's Society 

Christmas Cards, House Boxes, Christingle 

Yes, it's that time of year. As in years past, Children's Society Christmas 

Cards are again available for you to buy. The arrangements are the same as 

usual – examples of the cards will be on display in the Church Room for you 

to see, you can place your order and pay for the cards when they arrive. 

The cards will be on display on Sundays in October after the 10am service. 

If you are not able to see them on these occasions, please let me know and 

we can make other arrangements. As well as cards, there are a number of 

other seasonal items available, too, such as wrapping paper, gift bags and 

Advent calendar. 

Last year we bought over £500 worth of cards and that contributed over 

£250 to the work of The Children's Society, so the sale of cards is a 

worthwhile fund raiser for The Society. Many thanks to all who bought 

cards last year. I hope that you will do so again this year and, if you didn't, 

please do see what's on offer and consider buying some this year. 

For those of you who are House Box Holders, the Box opening time is 

approaching. We should be very pleased if you could please get your Box to 

Jenny or to me by Sunday 25 th November. 

Advent Sunday, 2 nd December, is the date for our annual Christingle Service 

which will be at St Thomas’ at 3pm that day. The proceeds from the 

Christingle Service also go to support the work of The Children’s Society. 

With the participation of the pupils of the Primary School this is always a 

joyful and exciting start to the Christmas season. Make a note in your diary! 

Best wishes.

Market Rasen Primary 

Welcome back to our new school year at Market Rasen Church of England Primary 

School. We have welcomed our new Reception children and we have been very busy 

with all of our children starting their new classes and their new IPC topics. 

Our Year Six children have just returned from their residential trip to Carlton Lodge 

outdoor centre where they enjoyed kayaking, wall climbing, building rafts and lots of 

exciting opportunities to build new friendships with our Nettleton children. The children 

had an amazing time and have enjoyed sharing their 

achievements, particularly climbing the high ropes and 

taking the ‘leap of faith’. 

We have been enjoying 

our new topics this term, 

including Chocolate in 

Year Three / Four and 

Fairy Tales in Year One / 

Two. The children were 

very excited when a giant 

foot print appeared in 

their classrooms and they had to investigate who the foot print might belong to. The 

children have also been enjoying their cooking in the curriculum lessons with the 

Reception children having a great time making cream cheese and banana sandwiches. 

We are continuing to develop reading opportunities through whole class lessons and we 

are enjoying reading our class books to the children. We have been looking at our 

favourite books and authors and produced some amazing displays around the corridors. 

We are also looking forward to rehearsing for our Harvest Festival Service which will be 

led by our Year Five children and we 

are busy planning our ‘Big Brekkie’ 

event to raise funds for Christian Aid. 

We are hoping you will be able to join 

us for this event. Details will follow 

within the next few days. 

Thank you to everyone for their 

continued support so far this year. 

We are looking forward to sharing lots more exciting news with you throughout the year. 

If you wish to contact us at anytime, please phone the School Office on 01673 842395 or 

visit our website at www.marketrasen.lincs.sch.uk 

You can also follow us on Twitter at @NorthWoldsFed where you will find out more about 

what we have been doing in school.
