Linked with the parish of West Livingstone, Zambia
Dear Friends
Greetings to you in this month of April in which we will be remembering the events and celebrating the festivals of Holy Week and Easter.
Because the story that we are telling is such a familiar one to us, and because we have given it such close attention year after year, it is difficult to understand just how shocking, scandalous, and generally baffling the cross was to that first generation of Jesus’ followers. And for the same reasons of habit and familiarity, it is difficult for present-day followers of Jesus to put ourselves in the shoes of those around us today for whom the cross has no personal significance, apart perhaps from a vague sense of a shared cultural symbol—something that looks nice on a necklace.
Jesus in his life and ministry was doing a new thing. His preaching, teaching and healing were full of fresh and exciting authority. But that was nothing to the unexpectedness of his death and resurrection. Firstly, the cross: how could that be interpreted as anything other than a disaster? Secondly, the resurrection: how can you make sense of something as contradictory of common sense and plain facts as that? It made no sense according to the old order, but in fact, a new creation was exactly what God was about in the events of Holy Week and Easter. That’s the excitement and newness that still powers our Easter celebrations some two thousand years later.
In a much smaller and less significant way, this edition of the magazine sees a change that perhaps some will find difficult to understand at first. Regular readers will be aware that we have been looking for a new editor to continue Bob Haigh’s excellent work in putting together the magazine month by
month. He is known as the editor, but the number of tasks that he undertakes runs much wider than that, from assembling and coaxing out the contributions and editing them, to dealing with advertisers, arranging the electronic version, and sending it for printing. Unfortunately, no-one has come forward to fill that role, and so the PCCs have had to consider alternatives.
Of course, the world of news publishing in general is changing fast, with many newspapers reducing in size or quality, going online-only, relying ever more on advertising, or folding completely. The world of church publishing is not immune from this trend.
Due to a lack of an editor or editorial team, the PCCs have therefore decided to discontinue the magazine: this edition will be the last. The Benefice Bulletin will continue as the way to communicate news and information to the church community; it can be expanded to two sheets when necessary. For external communication, there will be a quarterly leaflet detailing events in the two parishes and containing feature items likely to be of interest to a wider audience. The first of these will cover this summer. Contributors are asked to direct all material that would previously have found its way into the magazine to the office at St Cuthbert’s. From there it will be directed into one of these two publications. Our online presence will continue in the same way on both churches’ Facebook and ‘A Church Near You’ pages, and St Cuthbert’s web page and Instagram account.
There will inevitably be some teething problems as we work all this out, and I ask you to bear with us. In the meantime, I would like to pay tribute to Bob and all his hard work over the years.
With very best wishes
From the Vicar
Bubwith Chapel
1662 Holy Communion is celebrated every Thursday at 11am in the chapel at Bubwith Almshouse.
The small group of residents and visitors who worship there each week would love you to join them.
To find the chapel go through the church yard and into the main entrance to the Bubwith site. Go along the passageway between the two buildings and turn right. Walk through the beautiful “secret” garden and the chapel is the last door on the left.

Lift to Church We have a number of parishioners who are finding it difficult to get to church for the Sunday morning service. We are exploring the possibility of creating a rota of people willing to offer others a lift to and from church. We realise that a weekly commitment can be too onerous, so we are looking for volunteer drivers to offer a lift one Sunday a month.
Please have a word with one of us if you think you can help.

St Cuthbert’s Ladies’ Group After a very apt prayer by Myrtle, Dr Jo Newton’s talk about Women’s Health was very interesting. She emphasized the need to have breast screening and smear tests as well as exercise and eating a good diet.
It was announced that this year’s outing will be to Winchester.

Easter Cross Flowers Following the CTWA Good Friday Service in the Market Place the St Cuthbert's wooden cross will be carried through the Bishop's Eye to the Green, where it will stay all Easter Week. On Easter Day the churches are requested to decorate it with flowers. Maggie Pattenden and I are taking some flowers there after coffee on Easter Sunday. If anyone would like to join us with their own flowers please let me know.

Christian Meditation at St Cuthbert’s An extract from ‘The Forgotten Desert Mothers – Stories of Early Christian Women’ by Laura Swan (OSB):
‘While God always remains present to us, we can move through life oblivious to the Divine presence in our midst. The ammas teach us the importance of cultivating attentiveness to the many ways God and Holy Spirit move in our life and in the world. With attentiveness, we listen deeply within, filtering out all that blocks our God-awareness. We let go of resentment, bitterness, jealousy, envy and anxiety. We are intentionally present to each moment.
The ammas taught me that the way out of the frenzied pace of our culture involves both external and internal journeys. I simplified possessions and needs. I committed myself to owning less, not accumulating more. I let go of commitments and activities that did not support my life goals. I gave myself permission to say ‘No’ to self and others and I try to live intentionally, making choices by my values and goals.
I began literally to slow down. I am learning to be mindful of what I am doing while I am doing it. I am not so scattered, with my mind drifting in so many directions. I am deepening my awareness of God’s presence throughout my day. I stop to breathe, take note of where I am and what I am doing. I notice the Spirit in the midst of all my doing.‘
The Christian Meditation group meets in the Trinity Chapel from 9.30 to 10.30 on the first and third Thursday of the month. Each session begins with a reflection, followed by 25 minutes of silence and a closing poem and prayer. Everyone is welcome to join us. For more information contact Carol ([email protected])

He is not here. He is risen!
I heard a wonderful story recently about a Church Sunday School which was putting on a drama telling the story of Holy Week and Easter. All had gone well and the wonderful moment arrived when the angel appeared to the women at the tomb to declare those glorious words: ‘He is not here, he is risen.’ (Luke 24:6). Unfortunately, five year old Brian could not remember what to say, and so the Youth Leader had to quietly remind him of his line. He then confidently grabbed the microphone and triumphantly shouted, ‘He’s not here; He’s in prison!’
As we move this month from Lent into Holy Week and onto Good Friday I am sure we are all looking forward to Easter Day when we shall once again hear those words ring out ‘He is not here, he is risen!’ And we shall rejoice and celebrate again the glorious truth that Jesus rose from the dead. Death could not hold him. When Jesus began his ministry in Galilee he declared that: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.’ And those words from Isaiah help us understand why Jesus came. He came to proclaim freedom for the prisoner and to release the oppressed. He came that we might ‘have life and have it to the full’. He came to release us from our sins and set us free from our fears. He came that we might know God and that through knowing God we might have eternal life. ‘I am the resurrection and the life’ he said. ‘Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.’
The good news of the Easter message is that although Jesus died upon the cross he rose again and through his resurrection he overcame the power of sin and the sting of death. That is why Paul could write: ‘Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.’ (1 Corinthians 15: 57). This Easter let us give thanks that Jesus is not dead. He is not in prison. He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Letter from St Mary Magdalene
As I write, rain is sleeting against the widows but the earlier Spring heatwave has brought on the bulbs in the church garden. Already there is a splendid show of daffodils and the tulip bed by the path is full of leaf shoots. By the time you read this there should be a magnificent display of spring flowers, thanks to David, his energetic team of planters and a donation from Bovis. Make sure you see them, perhaps paying a visit to our church.
We also have a Spring wedding in the Wookey Hole calendar. No, not the usual ceremony but celebrations marking the 60th wedding anniversary of Margaret and Norman Baddeley. As well as their own family events there is to be a special March Lunch Club meal in the Community Hall (an initiative begun by Margaret) and a service in church, followed by refreshments, when we shall all congratulate the Baddeleys on a wonderful achievement and thank them for all they have done for our church and village over the years.
We all of us wish the parishioners of St Mary Magdalene and St Cuthbert's a very happy and blessed Easter.

Wookey Hole WI—March meeting
A PAIR OF BANDY LEGS ! Jill welcomed everyone especially those who had recovered from winter coughs and colds. Hopefully everyone will be fighting fit when we celebrate our 72nd Birthday later this month. Our speaker, Ray Palmer, fascinated us with his talk ' Understanding Heraldry'. His interest began when, as a small boy, he played on bomb sites and pretended to be a knight. In 1127 King Henry 1st knighted his son in law, and so it began. A Herald was like a walking bill board spreading the news. A coat of arms was initially a cloth draped over the armour. This identified friend or foe. Tudor Kings played their part in the development and Henry 8th enjoyed the colourful tournaments. One needed to be 'worthy' to be granted a 'Coat of Arms' and each one told the story of the person concerned. Ray showed us examples of these including the crests of our younger Royals. The WI has its own Coat of Arms . It was made by West Kent members in 1976 and has been displayed annually at the N.F.W.I. conference. Maggie thanked him for his most informative talk. Ray enjoyed judging our competition which was 'Create your own Coat of Arms'. Among the depictions of animals, needlecraft, hiking, cooking etc were a pair of bandy hairy legs. The legs were pictured on a large vitamin tablet and Ray hoped that they didn't belong to any of our ladies! 1st Jill …..2nd Lesley Ricketts .....3rd Rose. Flowers 1st Lesley R.....2nd Elizabeth.....3rd Myrtle. Do join us on the 1st Monday of the month: 2.30pm at Wookey Hole Community Hall. Visitors most welcome.

Wookey Hole Ladies’ Club
Our speaker at the March meeting was Mark Green of the Emergency Volunteer Service, Freewheelers. Mark said he went through a mid-life crisis and couldn’t decide, sports car or motorbike? but his Yorkshire roots made the decision for him, it was cheaper to buy a motorbike. He then decided to put it to good use: after passing the all the tests to gain his licence, he then had to undergo a Freewheelers cyclist test, followed by blue light training. Finally he was able to become a volunteer.
Volunteers can use blue light but the protocol is ‘only in an emergency situation’, and they have to switch the siren and lights off at traffic lights; unlike the 3 main services they are not permitted to break speed limits or go through red lights.
Each day they collect and deliver blood and plasma for the Air Ambulance services based in the West. They have a unit on board the helicopter which enables them to warm up the blood to body temperature, then to transfuse a patient at the scene of an accident who possibly would not survive otherwise.
They collect samples from G.P surgeries and take them for testing at Musgrove Park Hospital. They deliver medicines for G.P surgeries. Mark has also collected nappies needed for a neo-natal unit as well as milk for premature babies. Patients who have been discharged from hospital to help free up beds might leave before their medication is ready, so the volunteers make a delivery. They don’t transport organs in this area, as the necessary refrigerated units are very expensive, so the N.H.S make their own arrangements.
This service has been running for 28 years in the West and covers South of Gloucestershire, Warminster and Minehead to Swindon. 4 motorbikes cover evening and weekends for 365 days of the year, at a cost of £125,000 but saving the NHS £380,000 a year. They don’t have help with funding, but Avon and Somerset Police help with checking and maintaining the bikes. Each year they purchase two new motorbikes as they cover 175,000 miles a year, therefore the bikes need replacing. One volunteer mans the phone and monitors the riders whilst they are out to ensure they are safe. The volunteers deliver the motorbikes to the next volunteer’s home ready for his shift which starts at 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. Monday to Thursday; then from 7 a.m. Friday – 7 p.m. for the whole of the weekend. There are 90 volunteers in total, including 30 who help with fundraising and administration.
It was a very interesting talk; none of us had realised the selfless work that is done by volunteers to maintain and help keep the NHS running efficiently, thanks to Mark and all the Freewheelers.
At our next meeting to be held on April 2nd our speaker will be Sarah Villiers. Please come and join us at 2.30 p.m. in Wookey Hole Village Hall.

21 April - Easter morning: the ‘Other’ Mary by Canon David Winter
As the traditional Easter story is rehearsed again this month, you may notice that there is one name that frequently occurs. It is that of the ‘other’ Mary – not the mother of Jesus, but Mary of Magdalene, who stood by her at the cross and became the first human being actually to meet the risen Christ.
That’s quite a record for a woman who, the Gospels tell us, had been delivered by Jesus from ‘seven devils’ – New Testament language for some dark and horrible affliction of body, mind or spirit. As a result, her devotion to Him was total and her grief at His death overwhelming.
In church history Mary Magdalene became the ‘fallen woman’ a harlot who was rescued and forgiven by Jesus but there is no evidence to prove she was a ‘fallen woman’ but the contrast is sublime, Mary the virgin mother, the symbol of purity. Mary Magdalene, the scarlet woman who was saved and forgiven, the symbol of redemption. Surely, we all fall somewhere between those two extremes.
The dark cloud from which she was delivered may have been sexual, we are not told. What we do know is that the two Marys stood together at the cross, the Blessed Virgin and the woman rescued from who knows what darkness and despair.
The second great moment for her was as unexpected as it was momentous. She had gone with other women to the tomb of Jesus and found it empty. An angelic figure told them that Jesus was not there, He had risen – and the others drifted off. But Mary stayed, reluctant to leave it like that. She became aware of a man nearby, whom she took to be the gardener. She explained to Him that the body of ‘her Lord’ had been taken away and she didn’t know where to find Him.
The man simply said her name ‘Mary’ and she instantly realised it was Jesus. She made to hug Him, but He told her not to touch Him because his resurrection was not yet complete. She was, however, to go to the male disciples and tell them she had met Him. She did – but they couldn’t believe her.
Her words – ‘I have seen the Lord’ – echo down the centuries, the very beating heart of the Christian gospel.
The bishop’s visit A bishop was visiting a small church in his diocese for Easter. He wanted the young people to understand what he had to say about the Good Shepherd, so he dressed up in his bishop’s long, flowing robes and carried his crook. “Now,” beamed the bishop, “do you know who I am?”
After a moment’s silence, one child ventured “Little Bo Peep?”
Higher power?
A Sunday school teacher said to her children, ' We have been learning how powerful kings and queens were in Bible times. But there is a higher power. Can anybody tell me what it is?’ One child blurted out, ‘Aces!’
Great expectations
At a baptism the young minister was full of enthusiasm. He held the baby in his arms and speculated aloud as to the child’s possible future. “He may become a captain of industry, a great scientist, or a gifted teacher – someone on whom hundreds of young boys may model themselves.” Then turning to the parents in a rather grand manner, he asked, “And so what name do you give to this child?”
Timidly, the reply came: “Amanda Jane.”
The Good Samaritan
A young minister was telling his church the story of the Good Samaritan, in which a man was beaten, robbed and left for dead. He got carried away and described the situation in vivid detail, wanting his congregation to catch the drama of it all.
Then he asked rhetorically: 'If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?'
A little girl broke the hushed silence, “I think I'd be sick.”
Oh Joy! You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windshield that read: ‘Parking Fine’. That was so nice.
Moses and the Red Sea
Nine-year-old Joseph was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday school. 'Well, Mum, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
“When he got to the Red Sea, Moses had his army build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then, he radioed HQ for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved.”
“Now, Joseph, is that really what your teacher taught you?” his mother asked, startled.
“Well, no,” her son admitted. “But if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it!”
Church notice This being Easter Sunday, we will ask Mrs Cusworth to come forward and lay an egg on the altar.

Exercise
With summer coming, I had to face the fact that my body was totally out of shape. So I joined a fitness club and signed up for the aerobics class. I got to the club, and there I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But by the time I got my clothes off and my sweats on, the class was over.

On why a vicar should avoid wedding receptions
St James the Least of All My dear Nephew Darren
My generous offer to take last week’s marriage service for you in your church, so that you could attend your weekend plumbing course, proved most unwise. You may now be qualified to unblock church hall kitchen sinks, but I will not be taking another marriage ceremony for you again, no matter how much you have set your heart on that electrician’s course next year, so that you can re-wire the vestry.
At first, I was delighted when the bride’s mother called, inviting me to the reception. I assumed that somewhere called Charnley Hall would be a most fitting location, full of oak floors and waiters bearing sherry to guests. I did not realise until too late that it is only the rather dubious pub next door to your church.
At least I had been placed with the happy couple and both sets of parents. Then it slowly dawned on me: I was there to stop the bride’s mother from attacking her newly-acquired son-in-law. My presence may have kept an uneasy peace at our table, but it had no such effect on some of the others.
Well before the speeches, bride’s and groom’s supporters were exchanging snide remarks and bitter looks. Then all hell broke loose: a bridesmaid slapped an usher and burst into tears.
That was the starting signal for the liveliest wedding reception I have ever attended: chairs were knocked about, plates broken, wedding cake thrown, flowers snapped in two, and memorable insults exchanged. Of course, I could cope with all that, but then someone snatched the bottle of champagne that had been placed in front of me. They were going to waste it by breaking it on someone’s head. I knew then that things had gone far enough.
It took but an instant for me to leap to my feet, lean over the table, and try and grab my bottle back. Unfortunately, that was when the police arrived. Were our churchwarden, Lord Jelleby to have been on the bench that day, matters could have been settled quite amicably. It was not to be: you may enthusiastically pass the peace in your church; I am now bound over to keep it.
Your loving uncle,
Eustace

Editorial Epilogue
Sadly, this is the last issue of St Cuthbert’s Parish News: since my appeal three months ago for a successor as editor nobody has come forward, and the PCC has therefore agreed that it will have to cease publication as from this issue. It will be replaced by expanding the weekly benefice bulletin and issuing quarterly seasonal leaflets.
I have enjoyed the challenge of producing and developing Parish News over the past ten years, and have tried throughout to keep the content balanced, interesting and informative, plus a chuckle here and there. Readers will have seen the print quality improve from black & white Risograph duplication with an assembly team (the Ladies’ Group), to the present all-singing, all-dancing colour printer and finisher (which has its quirks!). However, the time has now arrived for me to lay down my metaphorical pen, observe the final deadline and retire as editor.
My thanks to all who have contributed news, articles, reports and poems over the years; to the advertisers, whose financial support has covered much of the cost of production; and most of all to our readers, whose encouragement has made it all worth doing.
