Can you remember an occasion when you felt very concerned, worried
even, for someone you cared about dearly? Perhaps, you felt helpless to do
anything to help them yourself, so you prayed earnestly to God for them.
Many people turn to prayer when they need God to help in some situation. In praying for someone, perhaps someone facing a serious illness, there is
always the temptation, even for seasoned prayers, to take the prayer back
again, as if God hasn’t ‘heard’ the first time, and then to pray it all over
again!
But when you first prayed that prayer, God knew you cared enough to bring
your concerns and your love to him. Moreover, he knows the needs of the
person for whom you pray. He ‘hears’ you the first time! His love is
mysteriously engaged and released from that moment. The scriptures assure
us of that. Many of us can attest to that as fact in our own experience, and
give thanks for it. We may not know how prayer works, just that it does!
So surely it would be better, when we think again about that person who is
in need, and when we lift our hearts in prayer to God again, to then thank
him for answering our prayer, in whatever way He knows to be best. Our
love for the person and for God then grows, as does our faith and our
confidence, as we pray that prayer of thanks earnestly and powerfully. This
pushes back the clouds of worry, fear, and despondency, and we know that
His love and light can enter more fully into that person’s life. And in so
doing, we will find a sense of peace entering our hearts, as we rest in Him.
So when we pray to God about something, we should fight the temptation
to keep taking it back, as if God has not heard the first time, and instead
pray words of thanks, as our minds fill with love for the person in need.
Then we ourselves will rest in the Lord’s love, as we continue, day by day,
to lift them to God, thanking him for what he is doing in their life.
There is much for which most of us can pray prayers of thanks: the beautiful
world, the love of family and friends. But God is Father as well as Creator.
And so he wants us to come to him with prayers for his world and his
people, for the needs of those close to us and for our own needs, each day.
Prayer helps us to deepen our relationship with God.
Happy praying!
May God bless you. Jenny Hopkins-Holder

HOLY TRINITY NEWS
One Down, Two to Go!
And as I write, it’s the A.P.C.M. season. Now (in mid-April) St Boniface
have had theirs and St Catherine’s and Holy Trinity’s are still in the
future. The Annual Vestry Meeting is the meeting at which Churchwardens
are elected, and this is usually followed by the Annual Parochial Church
Meeting where the past year is reviewed and the Welcome Team and
P.C.C. members are elected. All jolly fun (no doubt!) but one in which
there is a lot of hidden hard work by the Vicar, Churchwardens, Secretary
and Treasurer, the last two having particularly thankless tasks! I don’t know
as I write who will be this year’s six churchwardens (collective noun,
anybody? A Conclave of Churchwardens? A Cackle of Churchwardens? A
Chunter of Churchwardens?) But I know that we are all grateful to those
people who give both time and effort to ensure the smooth running of our three churches. To John and Steve, Jo and Tony, Jonny and Lyn (in no
particular order!)……..Thank you for the past year!
The P.C.C. are asked “to co-operate with the incumbent in “the whole
mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical”. This is
clearly the responsibility of all who allow their names to be put forward for
election to the P.C.C. and not simply for those who like that sort of
thing.” (Quotation from “An ABC for the P.C.C.: a Handbook for Church
Council Members.) I don’t know if this book still exists….I remember it
from the 1980’s…..or whether it has been superseded, but it did contain
some very common-sense observations!
So what is the A.P.C.M?
All People Come and Moan? Or
Any Person Can Muck-in?
And who are the P.C.C.?
A few ideas spring to mind. How about the Pleasantly Collaborative
Company? Not a bad thought, as we all OUGHT to be able to work
5
together happily. NOT the Privately Chosen Clique, I hope! ANYONE
on the Electoral Roll is entitled to go forward for nomination, and some
of you may have it in mind for the future. How about People Creating
Change? Now there’s a challenge for us all to think about!
Yours, in P.C.C. mode,
Gill
GHANA NEWS
I heard at St Catherine’s on April 10th that Anita Young (Mick and Nava’s
daughter) is going out to Tamale in Ghana soon for some weeks to assist
Solo with the new project, the Special School. David also tells me that
another crate is in preparation for Ghana and will be sent in the
near future. If you wish to know any more or to support these two
projects, please contact David Tamcken.
And following the first article, an acrostic poem about a
CHURCHWARDEN
Come and have a go at it, to see what you could do!
Have a little think about the fact it could be YOU!
Unknown talents, gifts and deeds can be a breath of air,
Reaching out to others, show the Church can really care!
Carrying the can, can prove a costly way of life,
Having oil to pour upon the waters of church strife!
When it’s difficult to cope, you’re never on your own,
All Churchwardens meet in groups and have a little moan!
Rectors, vicars, come and go, churchwardens need to stay
Doing all the mundane jobs that crop up every day.
Even if it seems that no-one sees just what you’ve done,
Never fear! The work you do’s admired by everyone!

St Catherine’S newS
Christian Aid Week
15th - 21st MAY This year Christian Aid is focussing on two women, Morsheda and Feroza.
Jesus calls us to love our neighbour, and he doesn't just mean the people
who live next door.
Take Morsheda, a young mother of four living in Bangladesh. She has little
land, few assets and no savings. The only work she can get is doing hard
manual labour for as little as 74pence a day. No matter how hard she works
she can't escape the floods that constantly threaten to sweep away her
home and her humble belongings. Right now, her future looks bleak. With a
£250 grant from Christian Aid, Morsheda would be able to build a large
earth plinth to live on and grow food, safely out of reach of the raging
waters. It would also pay for seeds, livestock and a wormery so she would
have independence and a long-term income.
Four years ago Feroza lost everything in a flood that washed away her
home. Before the flood she and her husband and their three children were
struggling to feed themselves. Now thanks to her neighbours from the other
side of the world (us), and through Christian Aid she was given a fresh start
and the chance to build a better life.
I pray that we can help Morsheda in a similar way and help her to start a
better life.
At St Catherine's on Sunday the 15th May we will be showing a short DVD during the service, featuring both Morsheda and Feroza, telling their own
stories. Please support Christian Aid this year. The usual red envelopes will
be available from your church as will notices an posters.
St Catherine's will be hosting, in the Hub, again this year our magnificent
Soup Lunch from 1pm on Wednesday 18th May. We would appreciate you
supporting this and the work of Christian Aid.
We believe in life before death.
Thank you. Roger Glover
Christian Aid Co-ordinator.

THE CHERUB.
I pause and often wonder as I watch our Cherub grow,
Of his divinity and knowledge, of how much he must know.
To be a Holy Angel as one day He will be
The answer for both you and I is just to wait and see.
An Angel is a messenger from God the Holy one,
Read about them in the Bible, they heralded God's Son.
Those lovely Bible stories are wonderful to read,
Billy often reads them, a story book indeed.
Our Angels are beside us, yes, Billy is here too,
We mortals may not see them, they are here for Me and You.
Our faith must not be shattered by insecurity or hate
Love is the key that always opens up the gate.
Cherub Billy is so wonderful, He will help us in our sorrow,
He will help us and support us to that bright tomorrow.
His antics will continue to amuse and not to doubt,
Read on dear reader and you will soon find out.
You will probably remember the geese and farmer Bell,
How they taught Billy how to fly, so good for me to tell.
They will all meet up again to reunite and fly,
You can read of Billy then to find the reason why.
God bless you all with lots of love, be kind, be good, be true,
Even if you feel unsure of what you are to do.
Talk to Jesus, He is here to answer you: TAKE HEED.
His Angels will support you in your hour of need.
Lovingly yours..........Ted.

Seen in a parish magazine:
Next Sunday the choir will give a recital, after
which the church will be closed for repairs.

SECRET WONDERS OF VENTNOR.
Not far from Ventnor town live a family of wild goats. Who graze their large
wilderness of downland happily along with their kids, they are supervised by a
dedicated group of local people. Their habitat consists of lots of gorse and rough,
sloping land, ideal for their needs. Not many people know of their existence,
which is just as well because they are rather shy and prefer to live in their own
beautiful, sheltered part of the world well away from human involvement.
To live in Ventnor or it's surrounding villages is a remarkable experience, there
are so many unique features to be found on the southern side of St Boniface.
We have several families of large Lizards that live secretly within the area.
It is indeed a privilege and a pleasure to live among it all.
Several years ago one of my daughters discovered a tiny plant growing from a
crevice In the brickwork of her house, She carefully extracted it and with lots of
personal love eventually transplanted it further down her garden. It is now a
glorious palm tree of about twenty feet tall.
There are many secret places in and around Ventnor where various wild plants
can be found such as Bee Orchids etc.
Secret is the word and secret they must remain for their protection and safety.
Our Botanic garden is a wonderful place where highly skilled gardeners cultivate
The most amazing plant life.
The sea also has a great deal to offer with the creation of rock pools and their
Inhabitants every low tide, a great attraction for people or all ages.
Dolphins can be seen playing just off shore. Yes, they are back again let us hope
they stay. As the weather improves sea life will become more and more
interesting.
We live in a paradise. May I quote our town motto: "All this beauty is of God".
We are truly blessed. Enjoy but do not interfere.
.........Ted.

This lovely story has been around for some time, but if your readers have not seen it, it
is well worth sharing…especially in the month of Pentecost, when we recall the
importance of the unity of the Church…
A member of a certain church, who had previously attended services regularly,
stopped going. After a few weeks, the minister decided to visit him. He found the
man at home all alone, sitting by a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his
minister's visit, the man welcomed him awkwardly, and led him to a comfortable
chair near the fireplace and waited.
The minister made himself at home, but said nothing. In the grave silence, he
contemplated the dance of the flames around the burning logs. After some
minutes, he took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and
placed it to one side of the hearth all alone. Then he sat back in his chair, still
silent.
The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. As the one lone ember's flame
flickered and diminished, there was a momentary glow and
Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting. But now the minister
chose this time to leave. He slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead bit of coal
and placed it back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow once
more, with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it. With that, the
minister smiled at his host, and quietly let himself out.
Red Squirrels on the Isle of Wight
A sunbeam, in the woods of Wight
Illumines a magenta coat
And, sat within that beam of light.
A squirrel – red! And how we gloat!
Though squirrels are a common sight
We see them nearly ev’ry day
Aloft within the treetops height
But these are never red – just grey.
But there, upon the Isle of Wight
No greys have ever set a paw
So go! You never know, you might
See squirrels you’ve not seen before.
A lovely island’s best delight –
Red squirrels on the Isle of Wight.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
Thy kingdom Come, thy will be done ...
A Call to Prayer in the week leading up to Pentecost 2016
As we travel around the country, we are continuously encouraged
by the faithfulness, commitment and courage of all our Partners in
the Gospel. Your ministry in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ,
often in testing circumstances, is an inspiring testimony to the transforming work
of our Lord. We thank God for our partnership in the Gospel.
Like us, you will know that ministry is empty and barren without prayer. That is
why we are taking the unprecedented step of writing to every serving parish
priest in the Church of England inviting you and your people to join us in a week
of prayer for the evangelisation of our nation. In the week leading up to Pentecost
(May 8th - 15th, 2016) we long to see a great wave of prayer across our land,
throughout the Church of England and many other Churches.
Our hope is
for all Christians to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ
for all of us to have confidence to share the Gospel
for all to respond to the call of Jesus Christ to follow Him as disciples, to live out
the Gospel and to seek God’s Kingdom from day to day
At the heart of our prayers will be the words that Jesus Christ himself taught us -
‘Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.’ It is impossible to overstate the life-
transforming power of the Lord’s Prayer. It is a prayer that is reassuring enough
to be on the lips of the dying and yet dangerous enough to be banned in cinemas.
It is famous enough to be spoken each day by billions in hundreds of languages and
yet intimate enough to draw us ever closer into friendship with Jesus Christ. It is
simple enough to be memorised by small children and yet profound enough to
sustain a whole lifetime of prayer. When we pray it with sincerity and with joy,
there is no imagining the new ways in which God can use us to his glory.
But how? We are aware that many dioceses, cathedrals, parishes, and chaplaincies
will already be preparing to engage in special times of prayer and witness at that
time. If this applies to you, please do not see this letter as an additional burden;
we simply ask that your own prayers, as you engage in your Diocesan or parish
plans, should include your longing that more should come to know Christ.
Only you know the context in which you minister and the opportunities and
challenges you face, so the precise way in which this time of prayer is realised
locally will be up to you and the people you serve. If you go to the website:
www.thykingdom.co.uk you will find many ideas and resources to inspire you.
21
Amongst them are the following suggestions;
As a parish, team, or deanery commit to a week of 24/7 prayer
‘Help my church to pray’ guide
Special prayers in Sunday worship
Prayer walking
An hour of prayer before Jesus Christ in the Eucharist
A novena prayer card handed out to every member of your congregation
A parish retreat or quiet day or a school of prayer
In addition there will be Beacon events in Cathedrals across the country over
Pentecost weekend (Canterbury, Durham, Winchester, Coventry and St Paul’s),
also at St Michael le Belfrey, York. The dream is this: imagine every Anglican,
perhaps even every Christian, in this nation praying that prayer together with the
specific intention that all may come to know Jesus as Lord. We profoundly hope
that you and those you serve will want to be part of this great movement of
prayer. Evangelism is the work of God, and it begins as we seek him in prayer. It is
always good for the Church to pray.
May the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Milk bottle tops I write on behalf of the local charity "Ability Dogs 4 Young People I.O.W.
(Registered No 1154896) and would like to record their appreciation of your
continuing help in recycling the plastic milk bottle tops (with the 2 logo on the
inside) tops with a '4' are also acceptable.
I regularly have to empty the boxes at St Boniface Parish Church and especially at
St Catherine's Church, which is full to overflowing nearly every week.
I am very pleased to continue to transport the bottle tops but would ask you to
make sure that they have been washed, the cheesy smell is a little unpleasant,
and remove the foil seals. Having said this, I would ask you to continue in your
good work and encourage your friends and neighbours to recycle tops as well.

Who is he? A musical concert was about to be performed in a prison. The Governor
was talking to a titled lady guest, explaining that the orchestra was made up
of murderers, embezzlers and other hardened criminals. The lady then
pointed to a man in the corner, holding a trombone. ‘He looks a tough
customer,’ she whispered. “Whatever has HE done?’
The Governor paused and smiled. ‘Ah, actually, he is the chaplain.’
