Parish News from Anand, our Rector<br />
Dear All,<br />
So much has been going in our parish as the<br />
weather has warmed up. The Watoto Choir Concert<br />
was a very memorable event. Thanks to Susannah<br />
Van Staten for organising everything. Many<br />
families provided hospitality to choir members for<br />
which the parish is very grateful. Another major<br />
event coming up on 30 June is the confirmation of<br />
6 adult parishioners by Bishop Roger. The service<br />
should be very moving and special. On 13 <strong>July</strong>, Archdeacon Robin King<br />
will be leading our Quiet Day meditations and on 14 <strong>July</strong> we have a<br />
special Picnic Service in Chrishall.<br />
Wishing you all a restful summer break and safe journeys wherever you<br />
are going. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.<br />
Warmly in Christ,<br />
The Pulsitillas<br />
On Saturday 27 <strong>July</strong> at Holy Trinity, Heydon, 7.30pm, Sarah Harrison<br />
and Ros Holbrow will deliver their fast moving comedy review of<br />
songs, poems and patter, laced with a dash of pathos for the last ever<br />
time! Laughter, song and wit, along with wine and food.<br />
Tickets £15 including a glass of fizz on arrival and finger food in the<br />
interval. Wine, beer and soft drinks available to purchase on the night.<br />

Thought for the month<br />
What is new life in Christ?<br />
A couple of weeks ago the Watoto choir performed a lovely, heartfelt<br />
concert where many were moved by the spirit. When the leader of the<br />
choir invited people to make a commitment to follow Christ many<br />
people, including children, responded by raising their hands. I don’t<br />
know what was going on in their minds but there must have been a<br />
reason for them to make this decision. Some may be regular<br />
churchgoers and worshippers but I believe there is a point in time when<br />
we ‘turn around’ (repent) and give our hearts to the Lord.<br />
This reminds me of my own experience when I was in my late teens. I<br />
was in an open air meeting with thousands of people when the preacher<br />
asked us all to make a decision to follow Christ. I responded in exactly<br />
the same way as some people did in Chrishall Church. I had a spiritual<br />
experience that day and felt that my life had changed. Things started to<br />
look different with a new understanding of God and a deep desire to<br />
pray and read the Bible. My life became more disciplined and a new<br />
spiritual strength emerged deep within me as I started to read the Bible<br />
and pray. When this happened I was in a Christian boarding school and<br />
attended chapel prayers both morning and evening. Whilst I was born<br />
into a Christian family, I will never forget that day. Maybe you had a<br />
similar experience at Watoto’s concert, if so, I would be delighted to<br />
hear from you.<br />
Jesus said, “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to<br />
spirit” (John 3:6). As human beings we are made up of both physical<br />
and spiritual components or perhaps one could say ‘body, soul and<br />
spirit’. The Bible says, ‘Then the Lord God took dust from the ground<br />
and made a man. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nose,<br />
and the man became a living thing’ (Genesis 2:7). The ‘dust’ is a<br />
metaphor for the physical component and ‘breath’ is a metaphor for the<br />
spiritual component with parents passing on the physical components to<br />
children and the breath of life, which is spiritual, coming from God<br />
continued on page 6<br />
5
(See Zechariah 12:1; Isaiah 42:5; Hebrews 12:9). ‘As God is Spirit he<br />
gives his spirit of life to us’ (John 4:24).<br />
Since the fall of human beings into sin it is the spiritual component, the<br />
soul, that can be sinful or righteous, lost or saved. ‘The soul who sins<br />
shall die’ (Ezekiel 18:4 NKJV). Hence the soul needs a shift in<br />
direction and a new life. When a new life in Christ is received the<br />
change is so radical that they are spiritually ‘born again’, which is what<br />
Jesus meant when he said “I assure you, everyone must be born again.<br />
Anyone who is not born again cannot be in God's kingdom” (John 3:3).<br />
For those who did not have a similar experience at Watoto’s concert,<br />
don’t be concerned, you can still make a decision when you are<br />
prompted or touched by the breath of God. For some of you this may<br />
happen gradually. Let’s all be open to His promptings.<br />
Yours in His vineyard<br />

Sam Smith re-opens<br />
Gt Chishill Windmill<br />
International singing star Sam Smith was in Great<br />
Chishill on Saturday 8 June to help the village<br />
celebrate the re-opening of its windmill after an<br />
extensive restoration programme. Great Chishill<br />
Windmill, on the border of Cambridgeshire and<br />
Hertfordshire, is one of only seven open trestle<br />
mills left in the country and the only one fitted with<br />
a fantail for automatic turning to wind.<br />
In addressing the crowd of around 300, Sam said<br />
“I am delighted to be back in Chishill, the village<br />
that I grew up in from the age of four. I have many<br />
happy memories, like running through the fields<br />
behind us, dancing to Beyoncé.” He later posted on Instagram that it<br />
“made me so emotional to be back home with my family and friends”<br />
and that he was “honoured” to be part of the unveiling.<br />
The programme for the re-opening included a celebratory drink at the<br />
windmill, a coach shuttle, and a complimentary tea and entertainment in<br />
the Village Hall. Chair of the Great Chishill Windmill Trust, Hazel<br />
Hayden, commented that, although there was no charge to attend the<br />
event, nonetheless donations of over £1,900 were received as everyone<br />
expressed their delight at the friendly atmosphere generated.<br />
The Trustee responsible for managing the project, David McKeown,<br />
explained that the Trust received grants from Historic England, Society<br />
for the Protection of Ancient Buildings,<br />
Great and Little Chishill Parish Council,<br />
and South Cambs Community Chest,<br />
and raised more than £26,000 by<br />
fundraising events. The restoration has<br />
so far cost £110,000 but he expects the<br />
total cost to exceed £150,000. This<br />
should see the windmill safeguarded for<br />
another 100 years. Hazel Hayden<br />

Scout Night Workshop<br />
We had the great pleasure of welcoming<br />
the Barley Scouts run by Fred Kuenzi<br />
who lives in Great Chishill. Their<br />
mission was to unpick old scout tents<br />
and make them into “ In Tents”<br />
shopping bags or whatever one may<br />
need a tough endurable bag for. It was<br />
an extremely entertaining and<br />
enlightening evening and it was a great pleasure being in the company of<br />
and teaching these keen young Scouts; to unpick, cut out, print and use a<br />
sewing machine. I think one of the things they learnt was that precision<br />
was of utmost importance if the end result was to work correctly! We<br />
were extremely grateful to Lindsay Crawley for her help and expert<br />
guidance. Tess Gent<br />

Parish Charity News<br />
Chrishall School - Danbury <strong>2019</strong><br />
On 22 May, we set off to Danbury Outdoor Education Centre for a new<br />
adventure to test our skills. When we arrived, the sun was shining<br />
brightly. We were greeted by a member of<br />
staff, then assigned cabins. Over the three<br />
days, we experienced a wide variety of<br />
activities from problem solving to zip wiring,<br />
from low ropes to high ropes, and caving to<br />
climbing. We personally enjoyed archery the<br />
most as it involved precision and<br />
concentration. The zip wire was a thrilling<br />
experience!<br />
Some of the skills we learnt were: Cavingtrust<br />
your surroundings, Climbingcommunication,<br />
Problem solving-teamwork,<br />
High ropes-bravery, Low ropes-using your<br />
initiative and Archery-concentration.<br />
In the evenings we could relax or interact and play football with other<br />
schools. Some nights we went on walks around the grounds and one<br />
night we played rounders. The group leaders were fun to be with and<br />
really encouraging. Judging from everyone’s opinions, it was an amazing<br />
trip and we wish we could go again! Rosanna and Caitlin<br />

Uttlesford Citizens Advice has launched a new service called “Help to<br />
Claim” for those who need help to apply for Universal Credit, the new<br />
benefit that combines six benefits, including Jobseekers Allowance and<br />
Working Tax Credits, into one. People will be able to get support from<br />
the charity as they submit their Universal Credit application until they get<br />
their first full payment.<br />
Kate Robson, Chief Officer of Uttlesford Citizens Advice, said:<br />
“We know that many people really struggle to complete the application<br />
for Universal Credit, especially if they do not have easy access to a<br />
computer. Our new ‘help to claim’ service will support people locally to<br />
get the benefit as quickly as possible. If you are worried about having<br />
enough money to live on<br />
while waiting for your first<br />
Universal Credit payment,<br />
we can also help with<br />
applications for advance<br />
payments, check your<br />
entitlement to other<br />
benefits and offer<br />
budgeting and debt advice,<br />
if needed.”<br />

from<br />
Uttlesford Community Travel<br />
Book–A–Ride is a charity that provides services to the residents of<br />
Uttlesford, who find it difficult to access normal public transport, the<br />
over 60’s, the disabled, groups and those who are rurally isolated.<br />
Their minibuses provide a door to door service to the shops, hairdressers,<br />
to visit friends, garden centres, just about anywhere, as well as all types<br />
of medical appointments. Their minibuses are easily recognisable,<br />
wheelchair accessible and the drivers are fully trained. Groups are also<br />
able to hire the minibuses (maximum 15 seats) for outings including trips<br />
to the coast, theatre, afternoon tea, stately homes, and school trips/sports<br />
meetings.<br />
They also provide a hospital car service for those who have difficulty<br />
getting to hospital or clinic appointments; matching requests for transport<br />
with volunteer drivers.<br />
Book-A-Ride are based in Great Dunmow but operate throughout the<br />
district, running 6 buses and approximately 40 hospital cars. Their staff<br />
offer a vital personal service. They understand that some members are<br />
hard of hearing, sometimes confused or just want a chat and a bit of<br />
human interaction. The office hours are 9am - 1pm Monday to Friday<br />
and bus operating hours are 9am - 5pm with flexibility to include<br />
weekends and evenings where needed. The Hospital Car Service can be<br />
booked anytime to suit appointments, including evenings and weekends.<br />
There is a membership fee of £10 pa (£20 for groups) and subsidised<br />
journey fares.<br />
As a charity they are unable to operate without an army of wonderful<br />
volunteers. Some make themselves available late nights and weekends to<br />
ensure that members get to their destination safely, comfortably and on<br />
time. They are always urgently looking for volunteers for the office, bus<br />
12
driving and as hospital car drivers and there is no obligation for big<br />
commitments or hours. It’s interesting, rewarding and good fun.<br />
If you are interested in their service as a member or volunteer please call<br />
for a chat on 01371 875787 or 01799 519008<br />
For many of our members, problems getting out and about can create<br />
feelings of isolation, loneliness and a disconnection to the outside world.<br />
Some do not have family and friends who can regularly help and for<br />
those who need to visit the doctors or hospital on a regular basis, the<br />
organisation of this can become very worrying.<br />
Commercially operated bus routes are diminishing and taxi services are<br />
impersonal and expensive. Uttlesford is also a particularly rural area and<br />
we will go to wherever is needed to collect and drop off our members.<br />
We are seeing the implementation of longer day and weekend operating<br />
for hospital and clinic appointments and are now receiving requests for<br />
help travelling in the evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Currently,<br />
this is proving difficult to administer with our current resources. Hence<br />
the urgent need for more volunteers and funding. David Perks<br />

Watoto Children’s<br />
Choir<br />
On 21 May, Holy Trinity, Chrishall welcomed<br />
the Watoto Children’s Choir from Uganda to<br />
perform their new album‘ We Will Go’. The 28<br />
strong choir met with the Eco Squad and Choir<br />
from Chrishall School in the afternoon, joined<br />
by Mrs Bratley, to discuss each country and<br />
share activities. In the evening, the church came<br />
alive with such a vibrant concert of live worship<br />
music and dancing. The Watoto Children shared their personal stories.<br />
Most are orphans and they have the privilege to tell that ‘it is possible to<br />
have joy, to laugh and to have hope, no matter what you’re going<br />
through. Look at what God’s done in my life’. We raised £1,117 (plus<br />
Gift Aid) to support the work of Watoto - to provide homes, love and<br />
support for widows and orphans in Uganda. God’s love does indeed<br />
transform lives and we were so blessed to feel their hugs and smiles and<br />
be uplifted by their music.<br />

Daks Over Duxford<br />
The Douglas Dakota, the name it was given<br />
by the RAF, otherwise the C47 Skytrain is a<br />
military derivative of the iconic DC3<br />
airliner - the aircraft that shrunk the States.<br />
It is a twin engined workhorse transport and<br />
troop carrier that saw service in all theatres<br />
during WW2, and beyond.<br />
Built in thousands, at the height of production at a rate of one per hour (yes<br />
it's true!) it was considered to be pivotal to the Allied war effort. General<br />
Eisenhower famously put it amongst the most important of contributing<br />
factors to success, alongside the Sherman tank and Willys Jeep. So good is<br />
the design that there are still around 2,000 flying and operating.<br />
During the night preceding the main amphibious landing on 6th June 1944,<br />
D Day, some 20,000 paratroops were carried over to Normandy by 1,200<br />
aircraft and towed gliders. They were to be dropped inland with the task of<br />
securing the important strategic points that would enable the main landing<br />
force to break out of the beachhead without delay. There were some<br />
famous actions carried-out by the Airborne Divisions; units of the British<br />
6th Division held what became known as Pegasus Bridge a crossing of<br />
vital importance; the American 101st Division 'The Sceaming Eagles'<br />
(Band of Brothers) had to secure the exits from Utah beach and beyond.<br />
So it was that on the 4th and 5th of June at IWM Duxford we witnessed<br />
one of the largest gatherings of Dakotas/C47s/DC3 seen since 1945, as<br />
around 30 flew in from America and all parts of Europe in honour of the<br />
brave paratroopers and aircrew that<br />
took part in the airborne invasion<br />
75 years ago. Two days of flying,<br />
ground exhibitions and events<br />
culminated in a crossing by two<br />
waves of these old aircraft from<br />
Duxford to Normandy to carry out<br />
a re-enacted 'round chute' drop. A<br />
fitting commemoration of the<br />
gallant action of 1944. Bill Jones<br />
