Holiday Surprises
As we enjoy this holiday month do you go to familiar places so that you can get on with relaxing or do you like the challenge of somewhere different each year. For many of us it’s a balance of the familiar and the unexpected which offers us the hallmark of having a good holiday.
The Gospels record Jesus and the disciples going on holiday, travelling north to the refreshing region of Caesarea Philippi which it’s likely was familiar territory. There our Lord was able to relax after the many demands of the crowds that often followed them. It was in this place that Jesus asked the pivotal question,
“Who do people say that I am?”
This was a question which shook the disciples out of their happy relaxed holiday mood. Some made a reasonable attempt to answer the question but it was Peter who declared
“You are the Christ the son of God.”
This question and the answering recognition have reverberated throughout history. It reverberates through our society today; it reverberates through our lives now. Whilst you are taking time out this summer to get some space for yourself, be aware this space and this calm may be the time that Our Lord asks you who you say he is.
Jesus won’t be asking anyone but you and only you can give him your answer. Your holiday surprise may well be looking at the Lord and giving him your recognition by answering
“You are the Christ the son of God”
This will save your life. This will give you a peace a calm and a joy you have not known before.
“The peace of the Lord be always with you” and you can then say to your risen Lord (with a certain knowledge in your heart) “and also with you.”
I wish you all a very good summer with a place for space in your life.
Your parish priest
Fr Jonathan.

Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee
June 2012
It may seem a long time away but it will occur just before the Olympics held in England that summer. Our market town wonderfully celebrated the Queen’s Golden Jubilee back in 2002 which made quite an impression on our community then, young and old alike. Let’s celebrate her Diamond in a similar glorious manner. Preparations need to start before then. Let me know your thoughts on this project.
Fr. Jonathan
BEST POEM IN THE WORLD
I was shocked,
confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbour
Who never said anything nice.
Bob, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.
'And why is everyone so quiet,
So sombre - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said,
'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'
JUDGE NOT!!
Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a
Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
Every saint has a PAST...
Every sinnerhas a FUTURE.
Now it's your turn... Share this poem.
LIFE WITHOUT GOD IS LIKE AN UNSHARPENED PENCIL IT HAS NO POINT.
Are you tempted to put something above God in your life?
Jesus responded to the Sadducees when they tried to trick him about the resurrection of the dead by turning it into a teaching about the nature of God’s power and love. In his reply to the Pharisees Jesus says that Gods power transcends all earthly relationships.
There is only one God, the God of All.
He gives life on earth abundantly and for eternity.
We are called to live without becoming tied to earthly things.
How do you tell others He is the God of the living not the dead? What do you do?
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O Good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from you.
From the wicked foe, defend me.
At the hour of my death, call me
and bid me come to you
That with your saints I may praise you
For ever and ever. Amen.
LINCOLNSHIRE CHURCHES TRUST BIKE RIDE
The annual sponsored cycle ride and stride for the Churches Trust will take place on Saturday 11th September.
As you know, the Trust is a vital source of funding to our lovely Lincolnshire churches for things like re-roofing and masonry work, and this deanery has benefited through grants given in recent years, so it is important to support it - we may well need their support financially in the future. Last year over £2,200 was raised by walkers and cyclists in our deanery, our best total ever, and it would be great to beat that total this year. So, if you have a bicycle in good working order and would like to cycle round a few of our local churches please ask me for a sponsor form. Why not ask friends to take part too?
Alternatively, we have had a growing number of walkers over the past few years and they have been very successful in raising money whilst taking part, enjoying the company of the group and local scenery too. Plus - it’s a gentle way of keeping healthy. You can’t lose! If you would like to join in, collect a sponsor form. We will organise a route of about 2 -3 miles and arrange transport back if it’s not a circular route. Let me know if you have any particular church you would like to base the route around. If you can’t walk or cycle you could still help by manning (your church) for a short while to welcome participants who visit here, and sign their sponsor forms. Please see the notice on the table at the back of the church to help in this way. Any support you can give will be much appreciated. Thank you.

8 HOUR CHARITY WALK BY PETER SIBLEY
Thank you to all those who supported Peter on a lovely sunny day on 3rd July. The walk went very well with a large number of people supporting him and taking part in the walk.
He lapped the church 214 times which is over 24 miles and took almost 57,000 steps. Thank you to everyone who sponsored Peter and took part and also enjoyed the refreshments, the ‘champagne squares’, lucky dip and table top sale.
At the time of writing Peter raised over £900 for St. Mary’s Church - a brilliant result and effort.
THANK YOU very much Peter who is also a member of the PCC.
Expedition to Peru
Katie Anderson is taking part in her expedition with Spalding High School to Peru between 11th July to 5th August. She will be travelling across Peru, teaching English in a school and make a play ground and then they will be going up the Amazon. Thank you to all those who helped her raise £300 on the cake stall. Do keep her in your prayers during this time. We will be hearing about some of her experiences later this year.
Mission to Seafarers
Andrew W Huckett
Port Chaplain Southampton
In the course of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells his disciples, “Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear”(Matthew 6.25).
Easy to say but difficult to practice.
We all have anxieties and worries which may preoccupy us, especially when we may feel a situation is out of our hands and we can do nothing about it.
The world recession has brought great anxiety to many seafarers. The large number of ships laid up around the world has lead to concerns regarding job security. Those working through manning agencies wonder if there will be another ship for them after finishing their contract, while those on permanent contracts are made redundant as ships are taken out of service.
There is the constant threat of piracy in some areas of the world. Seafarers are still being held hostage, along with their ships, bringing great anxiety to families back
home as well as those being held, and those passing through dangerous waters.
There is the anxiety caused by family problems – illness, lack of money to support the family, issues regarding housing, education and health, problems with the children – anxieties exasperated by distance. There is the anxiety caused by natural disaster. When the Philippines was struck by tropical storms, Samoa by a tsunami and Sumatra by an earthquake, all in one week, many seafarers’ families were affected bringing
great anxiety to those far from the situation, desperate for news.
In many situations the only resort may be to prayer, to the holding up to God our anxieties, our concerns, our fears, and those we love. It is to hear Jesus’ words that
God hears our prayers, and that we should “strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you” (Matthew 6.33).
Lord Jesus Christ,
you were fastened with nails
to the wood of the cross
and raised on high for all to see.
As the sun grew dark and the earth quaked,
you surrendered your spirit to your Father,
descended among the dead,
broke open the gates of hell,
and freed those bound in darkness.
As angel choirs rejoiced,
you were raised to life again on the third day,
destroying death by your own death
and cancelling the power of sin.
By these mighty deeds on our behalf,
rescue us from our blindness and tepidity,
inspire us anew by your Holy Spirit,
and lead us into a life of prayer and service
worthy of your awesome sacrifice,
O Saviour of the world,
living and reigning with the Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
~AMEN.

The winners were Emma Jayne Martin aged eight years, Cymon Bills aged ten years and Christine Mitchell for the over 16s. Special commendation prizes were awarded to Meghan Coon and Tommy Mitchell both aged 17years. Congratulations to all the winners and a special thank you to everybody that entered the competition. The designs were brilliant! A cream tea was enjoyed and Denise Andrews was the winner of the teddy with the name ‘Mercedes’. It is intended that the prizes will be presented and all the flag designs will be on show on 31st July at the Fun Day at Dawsmere to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

There are seven pupils going on to senior education and they are wished every success at their new schools. Seven new children will be starting in ‘Reception’ in September.

our Barbecue. The weather was glorious and we had a good number of
members and invited guests to share the evening with us. Huge ‘thank
yous’ go to Humphrey and to John Tolliday, who were barbecue chefs for the
occasion, to Joyce and Humphrey for their hospitality, to the members who
donated food, and to all who supported us.

Lutton St Nicholas School News
Bikeability was the theme for a week in June, when Class 4 pupils learned about cycle and road safety. We held an Indian Workshop for the whole school and the children enjoyed stories, mask-making and wearing Indian clothes and jewellery in order to learn about Indian culture.
Many thanks to everyone who has donated vouchers from Tesco and Sainsburys. We will be ordering some useful equipment to support the children’s play and learning. Sutton Bridge Westmere Primary School hosted ‘Our World Festival’ and all Lutton pupils experienced workshops and performances from many different countries.
Sports day coincided with the hottest day of the year so we were grateful for the shade afforded by our trees. Thank you to all of the families and friends who supported the children and helped in any way with this event – we couldn’t have done it without you. Red, white and blue clothes, French folk dance, the Eifel Tower and French food were in order for Bastille Day when we enjoyed activities with a distinctly French theme. The Year 6 outing this year was to Woburn Safari Park. It is with sadness that we say goodbye to our amazing Year 6 pupils. They leave for their secondary schools with our very best wishes but we know they are ready to spread their wings and fly. Good luck to them all and we hope they keep in touch.
The new school year begins on Monday 6th September and we welcome our new reception pupils from Monday 13th September. We wish you a happy and restful summer holiday.
