The March Connected is available to Download!


 

This month Revd. Pete Watson relates the bible story in John of the adulterous woman sentenced to be stoned to death, and relates this to God’s love and forgiveness for those who repent.
Tony Service recalls the advice of John Wesley regarding the singing of hymns - thankfully this doesn’t include holding a tune – and also has some delightful responses of children to the question “What does love mean?”
Karl Javis continues his virtual walk along the St Hilda’s Way, and Ruth Miles notes that we are all at risk when one of us is threatened.
The Revd. Michael Burgess looks at Rossetti’s Ecce Ancilla Domini and Dr Ruth Bancewicz gives us some much needed advice on mental health as we continue in lockdown.
The back page photographs this month are of a Parish Lunch in the old Brayton Village Hall in January 1994. Didn’t we scrub up well!

Annual Parochial Church Meeting 2021



Bucking the trend of gloomy news the Parochial Parish Council is delighted to announce that the APCM will be held on Sunday 25th April at 12noon, possibly in St Wilfrid’s, covid permitting, otherwise by Zoom. Is this the first sign of normality returning in 2021? Anyone on the Parish electoral roll is invited to attend.

An update will be posted in April if the meeting is to take place via Zoom.

Swaziland Schools Zoom Presentation 2nd March 2021



Hello all

Many of you will know that here at St Wilfrid’s, Brayton, for many years we’ve financially supported a school charity working in Swaziland in southern Africa. So, I am delighted that Keith Fossey, who represents the charity in the UK, will be giving a presentation to us by zoom on Tuesday 2nd March at 7.30pm. The presentation, including an opportunity for questions, will take about an hour.

I will send a zoom invitation out by email the day before.

We are planning on recording the presentation and uploading it to the parish website and YouTube account.  All those in attendance will be seen on the recorded video, so if you’d rather not be recorded, all you need to do is simply turn off your video for the presentation.

Many thanks to Lis Middup for being our liaison with the charity and ensuring this presentation happens!

Bye for now

Pete

We’ll hopefully see you then!

With all blessings,

Rev Rob and the Alive@5 Team

The February edition of Connected is available to download!


 

This month Jackie Jackman remembers her Grandma and extols us to expect the unexpected from God, since “…you never know how or when he’s going to show us how much he loves us and just how close he is in our every moment.”

Tony Service tells of the numerous and varied Christmas Cards that he received over the festive season.

We also hear from Mary Dunn, who many in the parish will remember. Is it really 20 years since the terrible train crash at Heck? A lot has changed since 2001 yet, as Mary observes, our love for each other will endure.

Karl Jarvis continues his virtual walk along the St Hilda Way, and I delve into the Parish Pump archive to reproduce articles about Love in all of its forms. How sweet will it be to get out and report on real events! I promise to never complain about the cost of raffle tickets again!
