CHAPEL  NEWSYou will see from the leaflet tucked in this magazine that we will be holding a Special Healing Service at the Chapel on the 11th September at 6-30 p.m we do hope that you will come along and join in. Many of you will know how Our Lord loves to heal and

for the last 2000 odd years countless numbers of people have been healed by the laying on of hands and prayer. When Jesus was on the earth he called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every

disease and sickness (Matthew 10 v 1) Just before he ascended into heaven he said they will place their hands on sick people and they will get well, Mark 16 v 18. From

the time that the Holy Spirit descended onto the disciples at Pentecost, God has carried on healing the sick, sometimes there is a miraculous healing and sometimes the healing is more gradual taking days, weeks or even months. Edith Peters, Janet’s

grandmother was miraculously healed 3 times during her lifetime. If you are interested in reading her testimony contact either Janet or me

(Fay) and we will get a copy to you.1 Corinthians 12 v 7 – 11 says Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is

given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith  by  the  same  Spirit,  to  another  gifts  of  healing  by  that  one  Spirit,  to  another  miraculous  powers,  to  another  prophecy,  to  another  distinguishing  between  

spirits,  to  another  speaking  in  different  kinds  of  tongues,  and  to  still  another  the  interpretation  of  tongues.    All  these  are  the  work  of  the  Spirit  and  he  gives  them  

to  each  one  just  as  he  determines.Jo  and  Susie  Marriott  have  been  healing  the  sick  through  prayer  and  the  laying  on  of  hands  since  the  1980’s  when  they  were  resident  at  Ashburnham  Place  and  we  are  very  fortunate  to  have  them  leading  our  service  on  the  11th  September.    

Many  of  you  will  I  am  sure  remember  them.We  will  be  holding  a  second  Healing  Service  on  the  9th  October  when  we  have  Revd.  Lesley  Harding  leading  our  Service.    Some  of  you  will  remember  Lesley  from  when  she  ran  a  nursery  in  the  village.  She  married  another  Minister  and  together  they  have  successfully  been  running  churches  with  large  congregations  

where  they  have  continued  Healing  Ministry.Our  third  Healing  Service  will  be  held  on  the  13th  November  and  will  be  led  by  

Revd.  Eric  Delve.Again  Revd.  Eric  Delve  is  very  well  known  for  Healing  Ministry.    He  started  his  Healing  Ministry  at    Burrswood  Hospital  in  Groombridge  and  then  was  Minister  

at  a  very  large  church  in  Maidstone.

We  look  forward  to  seeing  you  at  our  Healing  Services.

September 2016 – New BeginningsSeptember is a time of new beginnings for many people, and our service on 4 September is going to remember our children and young people who are going back to school, and in particular those who are starting school for the first time or changing schools – a time of change that needs courage.

September can also be a return from holiday for some with a new resolve to change something in our life or to decide to do something different. Here I have a suggestion for you, how about joining Nikki and me on Monday 26 September when we are starting the 7 week Christianity Explored course at our house, the Granary? It involves a meal, a short DVD about an aspect of Christianity and then an open discussion. You would be welcome.

Maybe for some of us we are facing something which we are really worried about. If you are this quote which I recently found might help, “It is OK to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.”

I particularly like the final words of Matthew’s Gospel, as Jesus is about to leave his disciples and return to heaven, when he says, “Surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:20.

Pastoral Care for Ashburnham

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be

afraid.” — John 14:27

Sometimes we face particular crises in our lives and we need help and support. As a Church St Peter’s seeks to reflect the healing compassion of Christ, and through our Pastoral Care team we aim to provide comfort and support, to those who are sick in hospital or at home, or recently bereaved, or who are isolated through a lack of mobility or old age, during times of physical, emotional or spiritual need. We can offer contact with a member of our pastoral team who can visit, as well offering prayer, home Holy Communion or hospital visiting if required.

We firmly believe that prayer does have an effect, and we welcome requests for prayer. We have two prayer points – one outside under the main Welcome notice at the foot of the church pathway and the other inside the church entrance door. There are cards and pens available for use. You are also welcome to contact myself as vicar or a member of the pastoral team direct. Requests will be prayed for on a regular basis and held in strict confidence.

Please get in touch with us for an initial discussion if you would like our help.Vicar: Rev Paul McVeagh 01424 532443 [email protected] Pastoral Care Coordinator: John Cormode 01424 8484125 [email protected] Care Coordinator: Storm Hann 01424 893130 [email protected] members of the team: John French, Catherine Duggleby, Jennifer Oldroyd, Richard Hann.

Parish Magazine September 1916Sunday School Treat This was held on August 11th at the Vicarage. Much later this year in order that the Vicar might be present and renew his acquaintance with children and parents. The day was fine, still and warm without much sun. Tea was at 4pm for the children and sixty-six sat down to it. Afterwards the grown-ups were entertained in the same way. Mr. Peters, in spite of his great age, was present for the greater part of the time. Thus the ex-churchwarden of Ashburnham’s distant past and the present People’s Warden Mr. George Dawes were able to meet and discuss the present state of affairs in comparison with past days. Cricket, sports and the Prize giving filled up the rest of the time. The Vicar in a short speech expressed his happiness at being with them once more, Mrs Ridel, in the absence of Mr Ridel, proposed “three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Sturt.” In thanking, the Vicar said how much he owed to Mrs Sturt who had taken charge of the Penhurst Sunday School and to Miss Mary and Miss Emily Dawes for their work at Ashburnham. Lady Ashburnham-Clement gave as usual a large contribution to the cost of the prizes.

Flower Show TriumphsVery many congratulations to all those who – despite the wet summer – managed to find exhibits for the Flower Show on 30 July. There were some amazing entries in the children’s classes, and some brilliant photos in the arts and crafts section. Particularly notable were the very good entries for the two limericks: “There was a young man from Ashburnham…” and “There was a young lady from Penhurst…” The full list of awards was as follows:The Eric White Memorial Shield for the most points won across the Show: Louise RobertsThe Roy White Memorial Trophy for the winner of “The Country Gardener” Class: Mike SibberingThe Jim Payne trophy for the best exhibit in the Flower Section: Sue SibberingThe WI trophy for the WI member with the most points across the show: Clare WhiteThe cup for the most points in the Vegetable and Fruit section: Louise RobertsThe cup for the most points in the Flower section: Louise RobertsThe cup for the best exhibit in the Produce section: Mike Sibbering - chutneyThe cup for the most points in the Photography, Arts and Crafts section: Clare WhiteThe cup for the best exhibit in the Photography, Arts and Crafts section: Kathryn di-Stefano.The cup for the most points in the under 8 section: Ellie Baldry The cup for the best exhibit in the under 8 section: Sebastian LanderThe cup for the most points in the under 16 section: Bethany HillThe cup for the best exhibit in the under 16 section: Aneska van der Meer

consider adding to the schedule or if you have any comments about the day in general.

Contact Louise Roberts via email: [email protected]

Thank you again for coming and supporting the event

VILLAGE HALL UPDATE The plans for the new village hall have now been finalised and we await the decision of the planners. If you would like to view the plans they are

available on the parish noticeboards outside the Chapel and at the Pound, and on the noticeboards in the old hall, pavilion, church hall, and Ash Tree

Inn. Updates on the planners' decision will be posted online.

Meanwhile fund-raising for the new hall project continues. See the separate report on the Country Fair and Flower Show and watch this space and the village website for news of the next fundraising event.

The  MI  Golf  Open  This  was  balled  out  once  again  back  in  the  early  summer  and  14  gents  played  a  fine  

array  of  strokes.  It  would  be  fair  to  say  that  onlookers  were  astonished  by  MIs  direc0onal  sense.  Some  shots  were  created  out  of  nothing  and  indeed  came  to  

nothing.  The  compe00on  was  won  by    Chris  Sinden  and  Robin  Ratcliffe  with  a  prely  mean  score  of  47  over  9  holes....small  recompense    for  Robin,  missing  out  on  the  "Brighton  play  off  final  that  wasn't  to  be"  later  that  same  aqernoon,    but  a  mighty  victory  all  the  same.  The  winner  over  the  "Nearest  the  hole"  compe00on  was  yours  truly.  I  was  actually  in  a  bunker  and  nearer  to  a  rabbit  hole  but  nobody  got  closer  -­‐even  Mr  Ratcliffe  with  a  rebound  off  a  sturdy  cleq  chestnut  fence  was  further  away......to  coin  a  phrase  from  Mr  Spock  ..."it's  golf  Jim  but  not  as  we  know  it".

MI’s  last  “footballing”  standAshburnham  Place  1  (Proudfoot)

MI                0Straight  aqer  the  Euro  16  final  ,  scarcely  before  Ronaldo  was  up  walking  again,  

Ashburnham  and  Penhurst’s    spor0ng  cream  came  together,  head  to  head,  to  selle  old  scores  and  aspire  to  football  supremacy  for  another  year.

A  number  of  MI  failed  late  fitness  tests,  it  was  later  announced  that  the  majority  of  the  team  lacked  fitness!  Where  they  fell  short  in  this  respect  they  were  well  ahead  of  

the  game  in  terms  of  effort  and  doggedness!With  just  9  players  MI  played  a  revolu0onary  new  system  of  8-­‐0-­‐0,  no  fancy  midfield  

diamonds  for  these  boys,  more  a  stout  defensive  wall  of  Ashburnham  bricks.In  the  first  half  MI  managed  to  encroach  into  ACTs  half  three  0mes-­‐  The  rest  of  the  

0me  shot  aqer  shot  reigned  in  on  Robin  Ratcliffe’s  goal.  Only  athle0cism  (Yes,  athle0cism!)  spared  MI  a  double  figure  defeat.    The  second  half  was  best  described  as  

total  football  from  “The  boys  of  the  Place”  ,  whereas  “The  boys  with  no  pace”  defended  stoically-­‐Churchill  would  have  been  proud  of  you  MI.

It  was  a  good  night  and  a  close  result,  but  next  year  MI  will  need  to  find  ways  of  countering  the  slinky  fluidity  and  ball  control  of  ACT.  All  sugges0ons  would  be  

welcome  in  the  weeks  to  come.  Thanks  should  be  extended  to  Ashburnham  Place,  and  Andy  Proudfoot  in  par0cular,  for  hos0ng  and  humouring  us.
