A Letter from The Clergy
By the time you read this, I’m sure quite a few New Year’s Resolutions will have been made and broken. Not so much the ones like “lose weight” or “eat more fruit” which can’t really be judged in the short term, but certainly the make-or-break ones like “stop smoking”.
That’s because resolutions require resolve! It’s not enough just to have a feeling that something would be a good idea – resolutions must spring from deep within us where our willpower wrestles with the force of habit and our fondness for instant gratification.
Will power must also battle with inertia, and impatience – we must be prepared to change, and we must be in it for the long haul. When two people marry, so popular songs have it, they say “I do” – well, they don’t! They say “I will” – they engage their willpower and look to the long term, not just the present moment.
A New Year’s Resolution that is actually worth making, and actually worth sticking to, is really more of a New Year’s Revolution – a turning away from how we have been to aim at what we intend to be.
The Biblical word for that turning is “repentance”. It may sound a little strange to think of “losing weight” as “repenting of eating so much” but that’s basically what it means!
Thinking about “New Year’s Repentance” opens up a whole range of possibilities which might not occur to us. How about resolving to be more humble, get angry less, be less greedy, to spend more time and resources on relationships than on things? These are far harder to measure than weight, or how often we eat our “five a day” but correspondingly far more long- and far-reaching in their impact on our community and our world.
Jesus called his followers to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth. So how about if we all resolved to be brighter and more salty? More ready to challenge the dark, and more prepared to get stuck in and preserve our world from decay? That really would be a New Year’s Revolution!
So I wish you all a very peaceful and joyful New Year.
Rev Janet

Extracts from The Messenger – January 2020
Living out Christ’s love and hope through initiatives which combat... environmental destruction
Care for the environment is high on everyone’s radar at the moment. The planet is facing a crisis with rising global temperatures, mass extinction and degrading of land. This planet is our home, a gift of security and bounty which we are in danger of destroying. Last year, the Diocesan Synod, the ’Parliament’ for our diocese, passed a new environmental policy, with the aim that an annual update will come back to synod. Slow, steady steps are no longer enough. We need to be making big, radical changes to revolutionise the way we live and care for our planet.
Some of the pledges that we have committed to are :
Actively participating in the Church of England’s campaign to reduce emissions by 42% at 2020 and 80% by 2050.
Encourage worshipping communities to sign up to the Eco Church awards, encourage and support our schools in their efforts and see environmental action as a key part of what they do locally.
Promoting renewable energy schemes, to conserve energy and to avoid wasting resources
“The biggest issue we face is not climate change; it is how human beings see themselves on the earth. If we see ourselves as separate from nature, then we’re going to continue causing climate change, polluting, damaging the earth… Once we see ourselves as part of nature, part of God’s creation and entrusted with its care, that’s going to change everything.”
Dave Bookless, A Rocha UK
Bring back our wildflower meadows
Did you know that you can apply for a grant of up to £250 to create a wildlife garden in your churchyard? Children from Coberley Church of England Primary School applied for a grant of £250 and used it to design and make plastic free bird feeders for Coberley Churchyard. They also cleared an area of ground and planted wildflower seeds which are now flourishing. It’s a great way in which schools can partner with churches and make a difference in their local community.
Over 97% of the UK’s wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s. A meadow is an important and crucial habitat for many species - a meadow could contain up to 40 species per square metre. Encouraging wildflowers and feeding the birds can go some way towards reversing the decline in the UK’s wildlife. Find out more about applying for the grant at gloucester.anglican.org/2018/grant-aid-for-wildlife-gardens
The best way to encourage wildlife in your own garden is to install a pond, however tiny. A sloping side to allow creatures to get in and out of the pond is helpful. There are some helpful directions at wildlifetrusts.org/actions/how-build-pond

How do you live out your Everyday Faith?
Do you find it is easy to express your Christian belief into your working week, your meeting with friends, your shopping trips, your family life and your exercise routine? Sometimes finding the confidence and the creativity to build faith into everything we do can challenge us all.
This autumn, we’re asking each benefice to nominate eight people to come along to a special day of ideas, resources, activities and workshops around living out Everyday Faith. If you’re interested in representing your benefice, do speak to your vicar, or nominate someone who you think might be a good candidate to bring back inspiring ideas to your setting.
Greener energy Our Diocese has teamed up with Ecotricity to create a scheme through which both churches and individuals can sign up to switch to green energy. Switch to Ecotricity and get a voucher worth up to £25 to spend at Waitrose (or John Lewis). Plus, for every household, vicarage or church that switches, Ecotricity will donate £25 to the Diocese of Gloucester into the wildlife gardens in churchyards fund. www.ecotricity.co.uk/dioceseofgloucester or call them on 08000 302 302 and they’ll take care of the rest. Quote “GLOSD1” to get the deal.
Eco Church Sign your church up for A Rocha’s Eco Church award. It challenges churches to act in respect of the songs they sing and of the food they serve; of the energy they use and of the ethics of their investments; of the wildlife that finds a home on their land and of the water that flushes their loos; and so on… Accompanying the survey is a suite of online resources to help churches undertake actions. As a church completes the survey, they collect points towards an Eco Church Award. There are three levels of Eco Church Award – Bronze, Silver and Gold. arocha.org/en/projects/eco-church
Confirmations - Bishops in conversation Bishop Rachel and Bishop Robert are planning to share a series of video conversations about faith online. They’re asking people who are considering confirmation to follow four conversation videos on our YouTube channel and come to a big question and answer session in the Cathedral on Easter Eve (11 April). There will be a diocesan confirmation service on Easter Sunday at Gloucester Cathedral - speak to your parish priest for more details.
Trainers and facilitators needed
Do you have experience of giving pastoral care? Do you have experience of facilitating or training?
The Department of Mission and Ministry is looking to grow its team of volunteer trainers and facilitators for a range of pastoral care courses across the diocese. Book on to our Pastoral Care Trainers Evening in March. Please contact Victoria Braddock on 01452 835546 or [email protected]

Garden Society
Winter is a time when many gardeners keep a careful eye on the weather forecast, so that they can be ready to protect vulnerable plants if a cold snap is expected. Frost can, of course, damage stems and leaves, but it also causes moisture in the soil to expand as it freezes, which can push plant rootballs out of the soil. If you have any new plantings, or plants with shallow roots, it may be worth checking them after a frost to make sure that they are still firmly anchored, and tread them back in carefully if not. On the other hand, the roots of weeds are similarly affected, and so winter can be a good time to tackle even quite deep-rooted weeds; nettles in particular seem easier to pull up at this time of year. Try not to walk on your lawn in frosty weather, though; it can badly damage the grass.
There is no Garden Society meeting in January; our next meeting is on 1st February, when our speaker will be Julie Dolphin of Miserden Nursery. In the meantime we hope that you and your gardens flourish in 2020!

Donations in lieu of sending local Christmas cards, 2019
In the December 2019 magazine “Christmas Greetings” were included from 80 households in the village and beyond who made donations to charities in lieu of sending local Christmas cards. The total amount raised was £2,330.
£1,080 was divided between Hospice Africa (based in Uganda and directly providing palliative care for patients and training for staff) and Allsorts Gloucestershire, which works for families with children who have additional needs.
Other monies were donated directly by participants to many other charities listed in the announcement in the December magazine.
If you would like to take part next year please contact me even if you have taken part before. Please use email or text if possible. Direct payments to me, for Hospice Africa or Allsorts can be by BACS, cash or cheque.
Contact me in early November 2020, before the deadline for the December 2020 magazine. Thanks to everyone who did remember before I started reminding - it really helped. But thanks to everyone who took part.

Cranham Primary School
Christmas is a special time in any primary school,
but Cranham managed again this year to add its
own extra magic to the season. Now, we move on
to January, the season of new beginnings and
growth.
Our core value for this term is Community, and we are looking for ways
for the children to contribute positively both to our local area, and on a
wider scale. We want the children to see themselves as inventors and
problem solvers. One way we are achieving this, is through our
computing curriculum through the use of some technology called ‘Makey
Makey’. This piece of technology allows the children to link their
computer to the real world. It has fun applications such as making a piano
out of bananas, but more serious uses too. We are also going to be
focusing on the Big Questions in science, so that children understand why
they are learning about each area of study.
It is so important to ensure that our curriculum has breadth: we want it to
be packed with real experiences and opportunities for children to learn
new skills. If you feel that you have a skill or an interest that children
might enjoy getting involved with, please do not hesitate to contact the
school. We are so lucky to already have many volunteers from the village,
hearing readers and leading Open The Book Worship but we would like
more! We feel that the children really benefit from this contact with
different adults across our lovely community.
If anyone feels they could provide any skills or time, large or small, please
contact the school, we would love to hear from you:

Scrub Clearance Work parties What a fabulous turnout for the December work party! 24 people braved a sharp wind on Sunday 8th December, and a huge amount of work was done. Two sections of woodland edge on Knowle Bank were cut back, a lot of small saplings removed from the bank beside the road up to the Knoll, and a lot of bramble clearance was done by the brush cutting team. It is amazing what can be achieved with a good gang. The next dates are: Sunday 19th January 9.30am - 12.30pm Saturday 22nd February 9.30am - 12.30pm Refreshments provided. Please bring your own work gloves and hand tools - loppers / hand saw. (We have some for people to borrow but not enough for everyone). More details of where to meet nearer the time. If you have any questions contact Liz Hayden [email protected], or 07974 386341

Citizen’s Advice Stroud and Cotswolds – Winter
Heating Payments
With Winter just around the corner the thought of heating our
homes becomes ever more a constant worry for many of those in
our communities. In order to help with some of the energy costs,
the government allow a Winter Fuel Payment to every household
with someone born before 5th April 1954 living there. The payments are tax free,
not means-tested and paid to anyone who satisfies the criteria, irrespective of
whether they work or not.
Winter Fuel Payments are paid automatically to those who qualify between
November and December by The Department for Work and Pensions; all payments
are usually by 13th January the following year. If you think you are entitled to a pay-
ment and you do not receive one, then contact the DWP before 31st March 2020.
Cold Weather Payments are another form of government help with energy costs
for those household living on low incomes. Payments are only paid to certain
means-tested benefits claimants when the average temperature of zero degrees or
below lasts for seven consecutive days in any period from 1st November to 31st
March. The Payments of £25 for any qualifying period are triggered automatically
by The Department for Work and Pensions.
If you would like any further information about these issues or any other matter
please contact Citizens Advice on confidential freephone - 08088000510.
Over this last year we have been celebrating 60 years in Stroud: Can you help us
find 60 new donors for your local charity? An annual pledge of £5 per month can
make a real difference. Please phone us on Freephone 0808 800 0510 for the
necessary forms. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you …
Thank you for your cooperation in helping me to move the end of the
magazine financial year from December 31st to June 30th.
This has been done to facilitate the collection of cash subscriptions during
the warmer months of May/early June.
It is hoped that as many as possible will pay the subscription by bank
transfer and better still set up an annual standing order on June 1st for
£10.00!
Thank you so much to those who have already set up an
annual standing order.
Please let me know if you are able to do this, so I can send you the details.
This method of payment would be really good for me! – and you too
because I won’t have to keep hassling you with multiple messages!!
By end 2021 the cost of the magazine will have remained at £10.00 for five
years and hopefully will stay at this price for a few more years. Payment
for the July 2020 to June 2021 magazines should be paid before the July
magazine goes to the printers in mid-June.
