Peace be still
These are the words of Jesus at the height of the storm on the sea of Galilee, and the wind, rain and waves subsided leaving a calm.
How many times we’ve wished to hear those words from Jesus in fact from anyone because of different events and circumstances in and around our lives. Times when the waves are threatening to swamp us and we feel very alone.
These are good images to be with us as out thoughts turn to the work of the world’s merchant navies especially in this time of recession and as we celebrate Sea Sunday on 12th July.
Sometimes I come into church and just sit conscious of the silent presence of God which seems so loud. Conscious of the prayer and worship of all the faithful Christians who come day by day, Sunday by Sunday, never failing, often ignored by many but being channels of Gods work and love. I am also aware of the solid Christian presence our church has had here for centuries; up held by the 900 year old Norman pillars of the nave. Our church has witnessed great events locally and nationally as well as much turbulence and joy in people’s lives.
These thoughts are worth dwelling on because at present life does seem changeable and uncertain whether about jobs, homes the consequences of the elections in Iran, Brussels or Lincoln. Our personal circumstances, neighbours, old friends with new ideas, life, can seem in turmoil for many. In all these situations try to know that God is still there, he doesn’t leave us or forget us even though his way may seem hard. Through Jesus Christ His Son God is able to say at the height of the storm
Peace be Still.
Your Parish Priest
Fr Jonathan.

Kate Anderson,
a member of our choir and of Spalding High School is taking part in a month long community project in Peru in Summer 2010. She has to fund her part in the project. The choir are organising two cake stalls during Friday morning coffee on
· Friday 3rd July
and the
· 28th August
to help raise funds. Do support come and help support Katy if you can.
Thanks to all from Fr Hugh
I am greatly touched and extremely grateful to Jonathan and everybody who helped in anyway allowing me to celebrate at St. Mary's the fiftieth anniversary of my priesting. For me and my family it was an extremely moving occasion and I was immensely blessed that so many of you from the three parishes, as well as many former parishioners and friends, were present. And may I thank you all for the magnificent bird table you gave me. As soon as they get used to it, no doubt the avian population will be queuing up for meals!
The call to the priesthood is always a massive undertaking which is of course lifelong and perhaps we clergy need to say more often than we do, that the priestly ministry, indeed all forms of ministry, only exist in the context of those to whom we minister. Without you, we have no ministry.
So may I say the warmest possible thank you to you all for what as for me and my family a truly momentous occasion.
Fr. Hugh
THE LONG SUTTON ST MARY'S MISSION HUT - Sutton Crosses
As you know I am always interested in the local history of the area and of the church.
However, it is only recently I discovered that there was a wooden Mission Hut in Sutton Crosses used for worship and pastoral work. The hut is still there and converted into a bungalow but was last used as a chapel just after the First World War in 1919.
If anyone has any memories of going to the Mission Hut or information or even photographs connected with it I would be very pleased to receive it. I would also be interested to know what happened to th church objects once it was closed. The Old Vicarage used to be nearby at Seagate Hall and many children each year used to have summer parties and teas in the vicarage gardens.
Thank you
Fr. Jonathan

Many plays of this nature were performed in our county over the medieval period of our history between the 10th and 15th centuries in our notable Market Towns and churches. St Mary's Long Sutton, Holbeach All Saints and Whaplode St Mary all featured as venues. Recently, they have featured in a new book as venues for this kind of theatre at that time and the plays used. The launch of this book is in the Chapter House of Lincoln Cathedral on Wednesday 22nd July. Do look out for more information. This interest fits well into our deanery project in the Autumn.

Sea Sunday 12th July
Dear Friend,
As an island nation, we who live in the United Kingdom depend on seafarers for over 95 per cent of our daily goods and services. I am writing to you today to ask if you and your parish will remember the world’s 1.2 million seafarers on Sea Sunday.
The sea is our nation’s lifeline. Much of our food, our fuel and nearly all the every day items we use will have been transported thousands of miles across seas and oceans to our local supermarket shelves by seafarers working on vast ships. A seafarer’s life is a hard and lonely existence – this makes the work of The Mission to Seafarers even more important and, in some cases, vital in replacing the loneliness and isolation a seafarer can face with Christian love and witness. On behalf of the Anglican Communion,
The Mission to Seafarers reaches out with a message of love and hope to crews visiting our centres in 230 ports around the world.
All of the content above show the valuable ministry that chaplains carry out as they meet and care for these often forgotten people.
We appreciate your support and your prayers in this important ministry.
With my thanks and good wishes,
The Revd Canon Bill Christianson
Secretary General
It started like any other day for the Revd Stephen Thanapaul, the Mission to Seafarers chaplain in Tuticorin. He had been visiting ships in port when news broke that a chemical tanker with 22 Indian crew onboard had been hijacked by pirates using rocket propelled grenade launchers and machine guns off the coast of Somalia. Within hours, families of the crew had descended on the local seafarers’ centre seeking help and advice from The Mission to Seafarers.
“Two of the families came to see me to ask for my assistance in contacting the shipping company,” said Stephen. “They asked me to intervene on their behalf and to give them spiritual support during the crisis.” And so began daily visits by Stephen to their homes, telephone calls to the shipping company for news and information and petitions to the Indian Government for help in securing the ship’s release.
“Some of the families were particularly affected by the event and I concentrated a lot of my time trying to help them come to terms with what had happened and to pass on any information which I felt would help them deal with the situation. I would make daily visits to their homes, praying and talking with them. All of them had a strong Christian faith and I believe it was this that helped them through some of the darkest times.”
Piracy has been high on the news agenda in recent months and there are warnings that it is on the increase. At the end of 2008, the International Piracy Reporting Centre reported that there had been 49 ships hijacked with 889 seafarers being taken hostage. Of the hostages, 32 were injured, 11 killed and 21 are reported as missing – presumed dead. The trauma of suffering a piracy attack can leave a lasting negative impression in the mind of a seafarer and, in some cases, can cause him to never return to sea.
It is with the victims of piracy, as with all seafarers, that The Mission to Seafarers reaches out with a message of love and hope in a harsh and often inhospitable environment. For over 150 years, it has faithfully carried out an international ministry which now covers 230 ports around the world. Port chaplains visit seafarers of all races and creeds on their ships, offering them a welcome and fighting for their rights when they have been ignored.
In over 100 ports, The Mission to Seafarers offers a practical seafarers’ centre where crews can relax away from their ships, find friendship and help with any problems they might have onboard or at home. We also provide high quality communication facilities through telephones and the internet for seafarers to contact their loved ones. In addition to the Mission’s popular low-cost phone card, in 2009 The Mission to Seafarers is launching a SIM card for use in a mobile phone. This will allow seafarers to keep in touch with their families at a reasonable price without having to pay excessive phone charges.
The work we do is vital but we can’t do it without prayers and support. So, on Sea Sunday, please remember seafarers and The Mission to Seafarers as we continue to care for seafarers around the world.
Mission to Seafarers.
Your prayers and support are always needed
Seafarers are the invisible people whose hard work enables all of us to enjoy the comforts of modern living. Few of us will ever meet a seafarer because most modern ports are situated miles away from the nearest town and are desolate and difficult environments. Seafarers have little and, in some countries, no time to go ashore and therefore rely on the extensive ship visiting programme that The Mission to Seafarers operates around the world

Onward we went until we reached Bolsover Castle, it was at this point the rain came down. “We’ll have a cuppa.” “No we won’t” - the tearooms had a problem and were closed. But by now the sun was out, so around the castle we went. We arrived home about 6.30, the end of a great day out.
