The Exhilaration of Life in the Spirit When the Alternative Services Book came out in 1980, the Sundays for the next five months were called “Sundays after Pentecost”. It also gave the “after Trinity” designation in smaller print. A colleague of mine joked that it could sound like a football score: Pentecost 4, Trinity 3 – or whatever. When Common Worship succeeded the ASB in 2000, we reverted to Sundays after Trinity, no doubt with good reason, although I liked the “after Pentecost”. We live in the third age – the age of the Holy Spirit – following the ages of the Old Testament and then the 33 years when Jesus walked on earth. The age of the Spirit lasts until Jesus comes again in glory, with earth and heaven renewed. The Day of Pentecost marked the dawn of that age when the Spirit of God came upon the apostles with power and sensation. The older hymns do not quite reflect this supernatural outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Lines like “soft as the breath of even” hardly do justice to an event which caused thousands of people to cry out, “What shall we do”? The Church was born in the wind and fire and life-changing activity of the Spirit. Those first disciples, or apostles, knew that Jesus was risen from the dead but they were powerless to proclaim the resurrection, or give signs that he was alive. They were like a becalmed sailing ship, until God’s power came upon them, enabling them both to preach the gospel and to do the miracles which Jesus had performed. Peter and John, for example, had no money for the crippled beggar but they told him in the name of Jesus to get up, which he did – jumping and praising God. The apostles saw thousands of conversions, not because they preached brilliant sermons, but because the Spirit was at work. Living in the joy of the Spirit, those first Christians saw amazing answers to prayer. Peter, for instance, was led by an angel out of prison – to the unbelief of those praying who, like us so often, were not expecting such a clear answer to their prayers. The new life of the Spirit saw the Church’s money problems solved, as the believers did not need to be coaxed into giving, but gladly shared their belongings. But the Holy Spirit brought problems too, thereby showing that those who want a risk-free life had better not follow Christ. God’s Spirit is not only a warm blanket but also a needle to spur his people into adventurous living. Stephen was not spared stoning when he uncompromisingly proclaimed Jesus to the religious elite. He was, however, so filled with the Spirit that he actually saw into heaven, and beheld Jesus there. Our awareness of the Holy Spirit may well come in our desire to pray for someone, or in our hunger to be with our fellow Christians in some way before too long. Our sense of the Spirit may be expressed in our knowing that we are not alone in these times. Bishop Christopher Herbert, writing in the Reflections for Daily Prayer, said a few days ago that we rarely have crystal-clear clarity in our decisions about the way ahead. At times we can feel to be in a swirling fog. Looking back, however, Bishop Christopher believed that we can detect God’s guiding hand, even in our darkest hours. Yours in Christ and in the Spirit, Rodney Nicholson

DEACON’S DISTINCTIVE DAY

“When the day of Pentecost came they were all together in one place” ACTS 2:1

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ This year Pentecost Sunday is 31st May. We should have been celebrating it with a special Eucharist service altogether at Londesborough – BUT, we know that nothing planned before the pandemic can be as planned this year. Pentecost is the birthday of the Church and, like all our birthdays this year, is having to be celebrated in a different way. However, this does not mean we cannot come together in our own “one place” and pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to fill us once again. We have found some wonderful ways of sharing in Sunday worship in the last few weeks – via our group emailed/printed service; the Church of England Youtube from different venues at 9.0am and the BBC1 weekly Worship at 10.45am, knowing that we are in Christ’s presence with others in our locality, throughout the United Kingdom and even further afield. The Youtube service I watch via Facebook so can see the continuous greetings and comments from these people. On that day of Pentecost the disciples couldn't see the Holy Spirit but they could hear the sound of a mighty wind coming from heaven. They couldn't see the Holy Spirit but it had an effect on them. It gave them the ability to speak about the wonders of God in other languages. They couldn't see the Holy Spirit but they could feel it upon them. It gave them power to be more like Jesus and to be brave and tell other people about what who he is and what He had done. The Holy Spirit is given to everyone who decides to follow Jesus and lives inside them. The Holy Spirit teaches us about Jesus. He gives power to be more like Jesus, power to tell other people about Jesus, and gifts with which to serve Jesus. I saw a comment from a Christian bemoaning the fact that the churches were still closed for worship saying: “I need to go to church to meet with Jesus”. This reminded me of a short quote from Charles Spurgeon, probably known to many of you, which I found in an old autograph book of my father’s in which friends had submitted drawings, sayings, poems. Some go to church to take a walk; some go there to laugh and talk. Some go there to meet a friend; some go there their time to spend. Some go there to meet a lover; some go there a fault (their sins) to cover. Some go there for speculation; some go there for observation. Some go there to doze and nod; the wise (but few) go there to worship God. (The words in parenthesis were those printed in my copy.) I wonder how many people can honestly say they only go to church to worship God. I am aware that it is commonly said by some non-churchgoers that they do not need to attend to believe in God and say their prayers. We have all had to “meet with Jesus” and “worship God” away from a physical building in these difficult times.

6

There is another popular saying: ”You are nearer to God in a garden than anywhere else on earth”. I think this ought to read “You are as near” and certainly I have found that praying and meditating outside in God’s creation is a wonderful way of meeting with our Lord. What is it that we have missed the most when not able to be in the church building? Sharing in Holy Communion/the Eucharist is the main great loss for me and, I expect, many others; but meeting together in fellowship of every kind is so important, especially for those who live alone. There is always plenty of “laugh and talk” before and after worship. I am not sure that anyone goes to church for a nap although, when I was first a Reader and based in a Dales village, I could observe from the pulpit an elderly brother and sister who never managed more than a few minutes of a sermon before first one and then the other nodded off. I had to be assured that this happened every week whoever was preaching! Something for us to think about in the days and weeks ahead. Pentecost was the start of the Church, and we see how something seemingly so small – an event affecting a few dozen people in one city on one particular day 2,000 years ago – has led to the Church spreading across the globe. How might the Holy Spirit be at work in our lives today? What small Spirit-filled steps might we be called to take right now? When we look at the gifts of the Holy Spirit we realise there is something for each of us, whoever we are and in whatever situation we may find ourselves. We are shaken. Our expectations are challenged. You probe our hidden corners and give us nowhere to hide. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to bring me into the light. We are bewildered, because you shatter our notions. You challenge our prejudice and confound our bias. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to open my heart. God of Pentecost, teach us to understand, to follow the way you move, and anticipate the unanticipated. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to speak into the silence. We are your people, learning to look again at all you bring before us, seeing with new eyes. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to be ready for God. Happy Birthday to all members of Christ’s Church here on earth – Deacon Bronnie

Message from your Church Wardens, Hilary and Nigel Firstly, and most importantly, we trust everyone continues to be healthy and being able to enjoy the recent good weather. Despite the gradual release of Covid19 controls, we appreciate many people are still unable to see family and friends in person. Worship and Communication The Ministry Team are ensuring we have material for weekly worship and prayers in our homes. It is truly a ‘team effort’, particularly so for 75th Anniversary of VE weekend when members of the Ministry team recorded separately different aspects of the Sunday Service for that weekend. Thanks to Les Slow who not only was the Minister for that service, but also Technical Director, Editor and Producer! Since then we have had reflections each Sunday recorded as well as for Ascension Day by different members of the team. We have had numerous messages of how great it was to listen to familiar voices reading. So do please visit our website www.pocklingtongroupofchurches.org as we continue and try different things during this period. Remember if you have the opportunity, please do tell your friends and neighbours about what is available on the website. Also, that they too can receive information and news direct by email, by sending a request to the Church office [email protected] Vicar Vacancy We can confirm that the interviews for the Vacancy will take place on Wednesday 3rd June and ask for everyone to continue their prayers about the appointment process. Please pray for the 3 shortlisted candidates and for all those involved in the interviewing, which includes representatives of the parishes Finance Thank you for your consideration of last month’s article on Church Finance, we have had a positive response, with some transferring from cash to standing orders and others reviewing their giving. We also received an article for inclusion in the bulletin and this edition of the magazine giving their thoughts. We are grateful for the support everyone continues to give. Following a request for a means to donate online, we have included a Donation facility on our website to enable those who do not regularly give but want to support the Church to do so. The advantage is this does also allow any donations to be gift aided by those that pay tax, which boosts the donation by 25% from the Inland Revenue.

We will return! There are already plans and discussions taking place regarding opening Churches again as soon as the Covid19 restrictions are lifted. Clearly it will be sometime before we get back to the ‘normal’ whatever that will be. We wish to re-assure you that the PCC will ensure the health and welfare of everyone, physically and mentally will be paramount in anything we do. We will also ensure that the interests of those who still must remain at home due to their individual circumstances will be catered for in whatever way possible. And Finally…… Thank you again to each and every one of you for keeping in touch with neighbours, friends and those we didn’t know so well before now. May the love of Christ sustain us in these unprecedented times. Please keep safe and healthy Hilary and Nigel

Penny for your thoughts and thoughts for your pennies!

As a regular Tuesday Coffee morning attendee, the articles in the May magazine (pages 8 & 9) regarding Church finances made me think.

I don’t know about you, but I miss the fellowship and chatter on Tuesdays, but importantly they also financially support the ministry of All Saints. The ministry continues even if the Church building is currently physically closed and this work still needs financing, so I thought what can I and possibly others do whilst in lockdown to help?

I have a suggestion (or a discipline?) to put the £1.50 we normally spend in a redundant moneybox or piggybank every Tuesday until it is all over. Then when we resume our coffee and chat we can celebrate the return by bringing our ‘savings’ and hopefully make up some of the shortfall in our regular Tuesday takings – At time of writing 8 weeks’ worth is already £12 for me. Please pray for David our treasurer as he looks after our finances. Anonymous Parishioner

Hilary and Nigel Greetings from Geoff from Rodney Nicholson

Geoff Hollingsworth has been in touch recently, wishing us well and assuring us of his and Marilyn’s prayers. They are enjoying a daily walk by the river and appreciating digital worship, in the absence of being in church. Geoff is not totally recovered but he is grateful for being as well as he is. They continue to enjoy their home and their proximity to their two sons and granddaughters. Neighbours have been very helpful during the pandemic, with people looking out for one another.

Christian Aid Week from Rodney Nicholson

The known collection has inevitably been down this year because we could not have the envelopes. Nevertheless, Pat Herbert has raised an excellent £159 from residents of Rogerson Court, and donations amounting to £55 from four donors have been received, making a total of £214. Added to this, church members have been giving on line, via the Christian Aid website, but naturally I do not know the amount. Last year £573 was given through All Saints, which included a street collection along Broadmanor, but in 2018 the total was £265. So many thanks to all who have contributed. There is still time for any other donations, either online or by letting Rodney Nicholson know that you have an envelope to collect. The Methodist Circuit raised £480 by a virtual coffee morning plus donations. This came from Pocklington, Market Weighton and Holme-on-Spalding-Moor. Last year Pocklington Methodist Church sent their donations straight to Christian Aid, but the 2018 figure was £134, so well done, the Methodists. Believing in Prayer from Rodney Nicholson

Two years ago, I think it was, I was talking to one of the staff at my old theological college, Ridley Hall, at the annual reunion day and lecture. He praised his students – future clergy – saying, “I could go to any one of them to ask prayer for this person or that, and I know that they would do so.” I am not sure that that could be said of all the students of my generation. One or two might have been ever so slightly amused. Whatever else we are, we must be a church which takes prayer seriously. Two are three times lately I have had an email or phone call requesting prayer for a particular person in need of that support, and am always glad to add him or her person to my prayer list – probably for two weeks. The most recent was for a Reader’s cousin who was facing, and now has had undergone, a lung transplant operation in Newcastle, and expects to be in hospital for four weeks. Another focus of prayer is for the three candidates being interviewed for the Pocklington post on Wednesday by Zoom. The Revds Pam and Tony Burdon have led the way in encouraging prayer for those involved in the appointment process, as they have for the life of the Church in general. This prayer backing is so important because we want the person appointed as vicar to be the one of God’s choosing. Services are unlikely to return to normal for some time but hopefully churches can be re-opened for private prayer. But prayer must have practical outcomes, so that we rejoice that All Saints houses the food bank during this time of need for many people. “ I should be the only one the beach” from Rodney Nicholson We were highly amused at a woman on the Sunday evening news a fortnight ago, who had travelled to the beach at Durdle Door in Dorset. She was amazed that others had done exactly what she had done. She clearly had expected a quiet beach. I wonder if her friends pointed out to her how daft she had appeared. But then Jesus spoke of taking the plank out of your own eye before you criticise the speck in someone else’s.

Briar’s Corner a quirky view of life from a 7-week old puppy My name is Briar. I’m a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I look forward to moving to Market Weighton in two weeks’ time. Leaving my eight brothers and sisters will be strange but I have met my new family, McK and XVicR, so I think I’ll be all right. McK was gentle and understanding; XVicR was a bit enthusiastic but, I dare say, OK when you get to know him.

I shouldn’t name drop but our litter has been seen by Peter Wright, the television Yorkshire vet. He’s friendly with Julie, my breeder, and his wife plays the violin with her. Julie is also the church organist. I’m not sure what that means but it sounds important. I wonder if there’s an organist at Market Weighton. Actually, I wouldn’t be here, but for Peter Wright. He suggested to Julie that it would do my mum, Amber, good to have puppies once in her life, so here I am as a result. My dad lives with Julie’s daughter. I’m looking forward to the ride on McK’s knee a week on Tuesday. I hope XVicR, the driver, isn’t one of those people I’ve heard about who drives thirty miles and back to test their eyes. My mum says that those with poor eyesight shouldn’t be driving. They might hit a dog or a rabbit.

So, a new world waits for me. I’m bound to miss my mum and my present family, who I don’t expect to see again. They’re all going to new homes far away: Newcastle, Stockton-on-Tees, Lancashire and even London. I bet London is a bit bigger than Thirsk.

We have a good play area in the large kitchen here but, so far, we haven’t been outside the grounds. Amber tells us about exciting smells in the field across the lane, and interesting people to meet. I hope there are fields in Market Weighton and friendly people. I like children and think I heard McK say she’ll introduce me to a family who live across the road and maybe take me to the school gates. Most people like a puppy and smile when they see one. I hope I have that effect on those I meet.

Julie left us last Monday afternoon to play her violin at an outdoor service getting ready for Pentecost. I rather like the idea of singing hymns on the village green. It means that everyone can join in, whereas dogs aren’t always welcome in church, though I’m told that they are welcome at Market Weighton. XVicR thinks that one day “all creation” will sing God’s praises. It sounds bit puzzling, but wonderful too. Key: McK = my carer, Kathleen XVicR = ex-vicar Rodney

Holiday haunts of yesteryear from Rodney Nicholson Some holiday spots of a past generation are long forgotten. I was told once about Millington pastures, where a site next to the stream was popular with day trippers from a particular West Yorkshire town. A grid still covers a spring on the left of the roadside, travelling away from Millington. Does anyone know more? I am better acquainted with the north west, including Clitheroe where we lived for nearly 25 years. Before the First World War people from Burnley would walk to Brungerley Park beside the river Ribble. The park is still there but not the motor launch which plied up and down the river at that point. Seven miles from my home town of Lancaster lies Heysham (pronounced Hee-sham, not Hay-sham), with its port and ancient church where St Patrick landed.

11

My dad was stationed at nearby Middleton towards the end of the war, and one Sunday afternoon a local man pointed out Half Moon bay to him. It was then an undiscovered stretch of excellent sand which I can remember approaching by a five-barred gate. By the mid 1950s it became popular, with a large hotel built. In the early 50s the headland called Heysham Head offered simple outdoor entertainment. There was also a bear confined to a cage with three small compartments just away from the cliff edge. I enjoyed seeing the bear but my parents rightly thought the confinement cruel. Also in the 1950s we occasionally visited Belle Vue in Manchester which had a zoo: lions, tigers, elephants, zebras, snakes etc., as well as attractions in the park. Apparently, in the early days of the zoo, an elephant called Maharajah was bought in 1872 from an Edinburgh menagerie for £680, to be transported by train to Manchester. The powerful animal, however, destroyed the rail carriage, so he and his keeper spent ten days walking the route instead. Maharajah gave rides in the park for ten years, before dying of pneumonia in 1882. Another popular creature at that time was Consul 2, the chimpanzee (a successor to Consul 1) who could play a violin while riding a bicycle. Before closing in 1977, Belle Vue Zoo hosted the television series, Chimpanzees Tea Party. My son tells me there is a donkey sanctuary at Belle Vue today, which he used to check while working as a Police Community Officer.

Cyclone hits Bangladesh from Rodney Nicholson It’s hardly even made the news, but cyclone Amphan has hit Bangladesh and India’s eastern coast, causing 2 million people to be evacuated. 120 mph winds created storm surges of up to 16 feet. Authorities in India and Bangladesh increased the number of cyclone shelters from 5,000 to over 12,000, with social distancing applied. The Catholic Relief Services aid group said that people faced the impossible choice of staying where they were and braving the cyclone or risking coronavirus in a shelter. Amnesty International urged governments to keep watch for up to 1,000 Rohingya refugees who may be stranded at sea in makeshift vessels. Bangladesh’s low-lying coast, home to 30 million people, and India’s east coast are regularly battered by cyclones which have killed hundreds of thousands over the decades. In 1999 a super-cyclone killed 10,000 people in the eastern state of Odisha. Eight years earlier a typhoon, tornadoes and flooding killed 139,000 in Bangladesh. Climate change can wreak havoc in these places. One good result of coronavirus is the massive reduction in air travel with correspondingly lower emissions which so damage the atmosphere.

The Case of the Missing Vicars

Phil Gilbank is updating the article he wrote about missing vicars which was published in the Friends Newsletter in 2015 .You can read the original article by accessing

http://www.pocklingtonchurchfriends.org.uk/PG%20articles/Missing%20Vicars.pdf

The tale of the missing vicars - part 2.

In the Friends' newsletter of 2015 I described how church and state records, such as wills and charters, that have emerged online in recent years had added three 'new' names to the list of vicars displayed next to the church's south doorway.

It has no incumbent between 1451 and 1541, and clearly no one person had covered that 90 year period; so the three additional names - Edmund Salvain 1525, Robert Huyte 1539 and John Hewett 1540 - filled a significant void.

Hundreds of churches across the diocese have inventories of clergy on their wall. The problem with local lists of vicars or rectors are that they are invariably based on James Torre, a Lincolnshire genealogist who died in 1699 after decades of detailed delving into the York Minster archives. It was a remarkable undertaking that filled five large volumes, but in most cases parishes have taken his list as definitive without revisiting Torre's earlier research; just adding an update from c1700 onwards, which is what happened at Pocklington in the 1890s.

My 2015 article ended: “I wonder how many more 'missing vicars' there are out there?”. Well, unsurprisingly, a few more have popped up in the past five years.

When the Count of Aumale died in 1260 a detailed survey was made of his Pocklington estate, and it named ‘William le Chaplain’. He appears to have enjoyed a long vicariate, or was followed by another William, as a 1297 document notes ‘William vicar of the church of Pokelington’.

A trawl through the 1377 poll tax records turns up ‘Dominus Adam vicarius de Pokelington’; while a late C15 document that has appeared online, the 1487 will for Sir Robert Ughtred of Kexby and Kilnwick Percy, was witnessed by ‘Master Robert Conears [Conyers] vicar of the parish church of Pocklyngton’.

So the original research of 2015, plus the more recent update now gives us a total of seven documented vicars who served the cure of All Saints that need to be included in the church archives – no doubt there will be a few more to follow, watch this space.

A Prayer for the life of our Parishes and Churches O God ,make the door of this church wide enough to receive all who need human love and fellowship; narrow enough to shut out envy ,pride and strife. Make its threshold smooth enough to be no stumbling block for children, nor to straying feet, but rugged and strong to turn back the tempter’s power. God make the doorway of this house the entrance to your eternal kingdom. Amen
