I write during the first week of the Olympic Games in Rio de
Janeiro, and I still have in my mind the pictures of the Opening
ceremony, as competitors from all over the world marched
around the arena with banners held high. And I confess to a
twinge of pride at the sight of Andy Murray, looking even taller
than he does on a tennis court, as he strode forward at the head
of OUR team.
But the first Olympics, as I’m sure you know, go back to centuries before Christ,
about 776 B.C., when the different city-states of what is now Greece met together
for different contests…. boxing, running, wrestling and others……and all for the
reward of a wreath of olive-leaves for the winner. The games were held in Olympia,
a valley near the ancient city of Elis, and people from all over the Greek world came
to watch. These city-states were often at war, which made it difficult to travel, so
messengers were sent out to declare a Sacred Truce, which started a month before
the Games, so spectators could travel in peace.
The following story comes from that time, and although it dates from well before
Jesus was born, I believe it has a message for us as Christians today.
When the different members of the city-states arrived, they sat in their own
sections of the arena. In one section sat the Athenians, a polished and cultured
people, accustomed to debate, to fine speeches, to law-giving, and devoted to
beautiful statues and temples. In another section nearby sat the Spartans, as
different from Athenians as chalk from cheese! Spartans were rough and warlike,
the boys taken from their mothers at an early age to train in military camps. They
were notoriously taciturn (the word “laconic” meaning terse, comes from them)
and they seldom spoke unless necessary. Fierce and tough, no-one regarded them
as a civilised people.
On the first day of the Games, an old man approached the arena. Dirty and rather
smelly, ragged and leaning on his stick, he wavered in front of the Athenians,
looking for a space to sit. They shouted at him to get out of the way, mocked him
and pushed him contemptuously along the row. One of the Spartans nearby stood
up, beckoned, and said curtly, “Sit here, old man.”
As he thankfully sat down, the old man looked towards the Athenians and said
loudly, “All the Greeks KNOW what is right, but only the Spartans DO it!”
Surely this story is relevant for us today. Because we are Christians, most of us DO
know what is right. We have plans and ideas to make our churches here in Ventnor
and Bonchurch relevant to our week-by-week congregations, and also to reach out
4
HOLY TRINITY NEWS
to those in our community. There are many who are accustomed to the church
BEING there, but perhaps only for weddings, baptisms, funerals or various shows
and concerts. We also need, as churches in this area, to take the church OUT to
those who might not want to enter but who need help in either spiritual or material
ways for themselves and for their children. It’s very easy in the bustle of everyday
church “Housekeeping” to forget Archbishop William Temple’s words that “The
Church is the only organisation that exists for the benefit of non-members.”
If we have ideas and thoughts to spread the love of God to our neighbours and in
our town, then we need to be able to say
“ALL CHRISTANS KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT, AND ALL CHRISTIANS TRY TO
DO IT!”

From Silly Season to Sensible September
Here in Ventnor it’s the height of the Silly Season of August! The town is
(thankfully!) full of visitors and by an interesting juxtaposition of events, we
have Cowes Week, Ventnor Carnival and Ventnor Fringe all happening at the
same time! The weather is, to say the least, variable, and everything feels a bit
unplanned and ad hoc. People decide to visit, both strangers and old friends
crop up in our services, and congregations swell and diminish according to
who’s COME on holiday and who’s GONE on holiday! There’s an element of
surprise, of unexpectedness, in the most ordinary of situations.
September’s usually rather different. School begins again, groups and societies
resume their meetings. There’s a sense of getting “back to normal” and for the
first time since the beginning of July, the Link is back in its usual slot.
Which way do we like it? Do we enjoy the Silly Season with its one-off treats
and “Holiday Specials”, with visits from family and friends, or do we prefer to
know exactly where we are , with the chance of working through jobs in a
competent and satisfying way, without the interruption of the unexpected?
Which approach do we enjoy…”let it all hang out” or “everything sewn up”?
Our Christian lives are like this, too. Sometimes the Holy Spirit leads us into a
sort of Spiritual Silly Season, where we end up in all sorts of situations we
never envisaged. We might launch forth on a scheme which could lead to glory
or disaster!
5
Or should we stick with Sensible September, where everything in our Christian
lives is carefully planned, relying on God to let us know if our ideas are wrong or
our plans are not according to his will?
I suspect that we need a bit of both August AND September in our makeup. It can
be good to be open and flexible, to have sudden inspiration and act upon it. At
other times we have to concentrate on the routine and hum-drum tasks that
characterise so many of us as we seek to be closer to God. The two are not
mutually exclusive.
So, as we move into September, let’s retain a little of the Silly Season in our souls.
We carry on with our normal planning, our social events, our P.C.C. meetings and
the ordinary life of our churches, but let’s leave ourselves open too to the sudden
inspiration of the Holy Spirit to ginger us up and keep us on our toes!
Gill
THANK YOU to all those who turned up at Holy Trinity on July 30th and 31st (and
some people after that!) to tackle a variety of tasks that needed doing. At one stage,
nearly half the Electoral Roll was there! Floors were Henryed and washed, carpets
ironed (yes, really!) brass cleaned, doors freed to act as fire exits, vestries sorted
and reorganised, linen washed and ironed, hall and kitchen cleaned and tidied,
hassocks wiped, woodwork polished, garden cleared and mown and the Calvary
renovated. The miraculous properties of “Liquid Gold” on woodwork were disco
vered…the roodscreen now GLOWS! I’m not going to mention anyone by name,
because I’ll forget someone, but THANK YOU to everyone!
And while we’re talking about Church Cleaning, here is the VERY FIRST poem I
ever wrote for the Link on exactly that subject, so I’ll resurrect it for this edition.
It appeared originally TEN years ago. (So YES, I have been doing this TOO
LONG!)
CHURCH CLEANING CHORUS
We are the Holy Dusters,
Who clean the church each week.
We feel that nothing’s fussed us
As we our frontals tweak!
We’ve muscles like coal-heavers
From lifting high and low.
Don’t let our members leave us
Or we’ll become too slow.
6
It takes us every minute
To hoover and to clean
The whole church and what’s in it.
It’s no-one’s wildest dream!
We kneel beside the altar
But not in prayer, I fear.
It’s so we do not falter
In moving dust from here!
We bring sweet-smelling polish
To kill the scent of damp
And happ’ly would abolish
The brass, it gives us cramp!
Right up there in the rafters
The spiders hide and play,
We don’t know who’ll come after us
To sweep the webs away!
We do the brass as often
As manpower doth permit
The candlewax we soften
That on the carpet dript.
We try to clean it smartly
As human care can do.
And if it’s only partly,
Well then it’s up to YOU
To find some other people
Prepared to join the throng.
Advertise on the steeple?
Why not? It can’t go wrong!
GHANA NEWS
Mick and Nava Young’s daughter Anita has returned from her long visit to
Ghana and there is information in St Catherine’s Church about how she
got on there. I continue to write to our friends in Tamale, Wa and
Techiman. As there were no Links in August, I sent note-cards of our
beautiful Island instead.

Street Pastors On Sunday September 4th we will have the Street Pastors' Co-ordinator,
Andrew Gardner, with us at St Catherine's for the Service of the Word.
Street Pastors are recruiting at the moment; they are finding it difficult to
fill the teams at weekends. Please come and listen to Andrew; perhaps it
may be something that God may lead you to.
Nava, Mick and Hugh are Street Pastors from our church, working mainly
in Ventnor on occasions like the Carnival and New Year's Eve. They join
teams in other towns sometimes, and are involved in Cowes Week.

THE GREATEST SACRIFICE.
"I love to hear the story which Angel voices tell,
How once the King of glory came down on earth to dwell".
These words by Emily Miller in 1833 are the first two lines of One of our most
beautiful hymns.
I do indeed love to hear that story over and over again from the Birth of Jesus at
Christmas until His awful suffering and death upon the cross at Calvary.......He lived
and died for for us all and We must always remember that fact.
How much do we really know about pain?
Pain can be defined in many ways: The pain of the death of a loved one, especially a
child. Pain caused by an injury. Pain inflicted by another person, to mention just a
few. However, one thing is certain: all pain is connected to our nerves, the system
installed in our bodies at birth.
We all have to endure pain at some time in our lives, some people seem to
suffer more pain than others.
Our dear Lord Jesus suffered unimaginable pain of being betrayed by people of his
own race, publicly humiliated and nailed to a cross............ can you imagine
that? And a sword thrust into his side, being jeered and mocked by the crowd as
he hung there in unspeakable agony as he uttered the words:
" FATHER FORGIVE THEM " and then he died. He had done no wrong.
He suffered and died for us all. That our sins might be forgiven.
And so dear reader, in answer to OUR plea of: WHY ME? There it is.
Let us not feel bitter about our pain: It is nothing.
All this was soon followed by the wonderful resurrection and Jesus
Eventual elevation into heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father
In glory. Yes, I love to hear that story and many others from the Holy
Bible.

THE CHERUB.
September is a lovely month, Autumn fills the air,
The seasons are delightful, show God we really care,
Show God that we are thankful for the harvest He has given
By looking ever forward as He looks down from heaven.
Cherub Billy is here to help us, he will always be our guide,
To keep us close to Jesus, who is also by our side.
Religion is not stuffy there are lots of things to do,
Use your sense of humour it is really up to you.
God our Heavenly Father is our mainstay ever sure,
Remember to be close to Him and you will feel secure.
Cherub Billy, a child messenger from the heavenly realms above,
will ensure that God is with us to enhance us with His love.
Jesus helps us through our sorrows, He will ease, our aches and
pain,
Praise Him in His glory' He will make us whole again.
He likes us to be happy relax and have some fun,
God gave this world for us to live enjoy it every one.
Cherub Billy is our lifeline he keeps abreast of trends,
He is always happy to know we are his friends,
He talks with Jesus every day earnestly in prayer,
He likes to know we do as well and that we really care.
My cherub is so precious, I know he is there to guide,
To know that Jesus and His love are always by my side.
It is such a comfort to know the love of God,
To tread the very path on earth where Jesus really trod.

The ministry of the building...
At St Catherine's we are blessed with a fine building, flexible in its use,
acoustically excellent, and set at the heart of our community.
One week recently brought this home quite powerfully. The Ventnor
Carnival arrived in church for their 'judging day'' and the Ventnor Fringe
came with four productions within their programme. Around 400
people came through the doors for these occasions, and we were able to
offer a Christian welcome and support for those who came to perform,
and those who enjoyed their performances.
A further highlight came on the evening of the Carnival procession, when
a team opened the church for coffee during the period between the
procession and the fireworks. Close to 100 people came in, enjoyed the
welcome, and were thankful for the coffee, and for 'a place to be' during
the wait.
The above activities raised £200 from refreshment donations, but more
important was the opportunity to share a welcome, and show care and
concern in God's name.

THE WAY
The Diocese of Portsmouth New Discipleship Course.
A new 7 week Autumn course exploring
Christian Spirituality and Prayer.
No prior knowledge or background reading necessary
This is an introductory course to the major themes of Christian prayer and
spirituality. This module engages with what we think about God, and what we think
about ourselves and our own journey of prayer. Different personality types will be
considered in relation to prayer preferences, as well as prayer styles such as Ignatian
and monastic prayer.
Each module engages with our idea of God, building on our own relationship with
prayer to discover the gift of deeper spiritual awareness and personal growth. It is
The Way, the way forward. Anyone can take the first step.
The Course is to be held in fortnightly modules at Holy Trinity Church.
From Tuesday 6th September - concluding 29th November 2016.
7.30 pm -9.30 pm, every other Tuesday
(7 pm tea & coffee introduction)
The church is warm and is easily adaptable for the comfort of small groups.
Modules incorporate:
· Exploring ourselves and God.
· The Long and Winding Road.
· Different types of spirituality.
· Jesus at Prayer.
· Monastic Prayer.
· Desiring God; prayers and feelings
· Struggling to Grow.
Participants may sign on for individual modules at £5 an evening or if wishing to
attend the full course to gain the most benefit a discount will be made: full course
of 7 modules £30.00. You can give this to Hugh beforehand or bring it to the first
session.

M.I.S. (Men In Sheds) A place where retired seniors can come and shave a drink and a chat. Alternatively,
if you wish to do a repair job, help is at hand! We are a company of men who, at
one time, had their own "man caves", finding themselves downsized, with no room
for tools, sawdust, shavings and empty mugs. If you fancy a chat and a cuppa, putting
the world to rights as well as fixing things, this is the place to be!

VENTNOR SHED
The Ventnor Shed started after some local men came together to watch Utility
Film's 'Better Shed Than Dead'. The group meets every Tuesday morning, 10am to
about 1pm and every Wednesday 6pm to 8pm. The 'Shed' is located at Ventnor
Central (The former Youth and Community Centre in Victoria Street) Although this
will be changing. The Ventnor Shed has its own Facebook page. The Ventnor Shed is
supported by Ventnor Town Council.
The men of Ventnor have been busy designing, building and painting their pirate ship
for the Cowes Cardboard Boat Race. The boat was powered by the 'Skeleton
Crew' and had a pirate flag. (I have to be perfectly honest here and show surprise
and joy at that the boat got out of the shed at all!) The event included the race (not
surprisingly) as well as a water fight off with the other participants. Ventnor Sheds
came fourth overall, a fantastic result.

“Come and share a meal with us”
Children must be accompanied by a parent/
guardian or carer. Do please tell any
families you know about this event.
Now Happening. After boldly entering the Isle of Wight Music,
Drama and Dance Festival Competition and surprising ourselves,
we thought to share what we had learned; knowing that many
had been unable to support us on the night.
So the idea of a concert formed, and then it grew; looking at the
many talents within the parishes until a Summer Home grown
Concert was formed.
We have had to reschedule to accommodate other events but it
is now happening on September 16th, at Holy Trinity Church.
We will start at 7pm with a varied programme
and there will be delectable refreshments as an encore!
