The Chantry Book
Do you know where the Chantry Book (book of remembrance) can be found in our church? If you do, you will know that this is a book that contains the names of people of the Parish who have died over the years. A page is devoted to each day of the year and listed are those that died on that day. Gradually the lists have grown but strangely there are some days with no names entered.
Many people find comfort in seeing the name of a loved one or a rela-tive’s name recorded, especially on the anniversary of their death. During inclement weather some find it more comfortable to see the book rather visiting the grave.
Pages of the book are turned each day and the name(s) for that day are read out during the daily Church prayers and services. Regular visitors to our Church will know that access is easy as it is open daily.
Should anyone wish to have a name recorded they can find out more by contacting Fr. Mark or one of the Church Officers.

At this time when our churches are closed for public worship, we will not
be able to receive Holy Communion physically, which will be a painful
thing for many of us. The tradition of the church has been for people to
make an act of Spiritual Communion when they are prevented from
receiving Holy Communion. Below is a form of words which express our
faith in Jesus and in his presence at Holy Communion and invite him to
unite himself with us:
Act of Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus,
I believe that you
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and desire to receive you into my soul .
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there
and unite myself wholly to you.
O God, our Shield and our Defender,
Guide and protect my neighbour
in this time of health emergency;
Deliver them from all harm and
may your love and care ever
grow in this place.
Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.
Merciful God, we entrust to your
tender care those who are ill or
in pain, knowing that whenever
danger threatens your everlasting
arms are there to hold them safe.
Comfort and heal them, and restore
them to health and strength;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

World Vocation Sunday
This year on the 3rd May the church celebrates Vocation Sunday. During
the season of Lent we have, as a parish, supported through our almsgiving
and as one of our charities the Additional Curates Society (ACS). Over the
years this charity had supported our parish especially when we had at one
time two curates. As part of its activities the ACS arranges conferences
whereby those considering the priesthood can explore their calling.
This process is taking part all over the world and this month we highlight
the work of St. Nicholas Seminary in Cape Coast Ghana and Bishop Gaul
College in the province of Central Africa. St. Nicholas Seminary plays an
important role in the leadership development and clergy formation of the
Province in West Africa. The mission of the seminary is to educate lay and
ordained leaders of the Church and world emphasising the life of daily
prayer and worship, a high sense of community life, pastoral care, ministerial
formation and social justice. As Seminarians begin the formation
programme they come to understand that the priest, like Christ, is ordained
‘not to be served, but to serve’ – not to dominate, but to inspire and guide
people to God. They should become vividly aware of the Church’s mission
to all people and be ready to minister to all people everywhere.
At Bishop Gaul College, which serves five dioceses in Zimbabwe and the
diocese of Botswana, it has also opened to students from other countries
which have brought a new dimension of thinking outside their immediate
environment. Currently there are 27 students although the college is facing
a reduction in the number of ordinands and with a real shortage of water
and rising running cost it is facing a tough future. There has been an
increase in the training of the laity and this introduction is intended to
contribute spiritually and socially to the community as a whole.
Pray for all those considering a vocation.

Under One Roof Appeal
When we originally launched the Under One Roof (UOR) Appeal we did so on the advice of the architect who said that the repairs were now so urgent that we could not put off undertaking the repairs any longer. We had been saving up for several years but now was the time to ‘bite the bullet’. Who would have guessed that we would be faced with the uncertainty that Brexit threw up and now the Coronavirus Pandemic. Until 2 months ago we had set out our plans to begin the work immediately after Easter. It has been touch and go as to whether we would have raised sufficient money to meet all the costs, we still needed a further £23,000. At a local level we had set a fundraising target of raising a further £10,000 up to September 2020 and apply to several Charitable Trusts for the remainder. At the annual meeting of the church we launched the Roof Tile Appeal inviting people to sponsor a tile at £2 each. It was estimated that we needed 5000 tiles. To date, despite the national emergency, we have sold 680 tiles. We have been very encouraged by your response particularly from those who may not attend church on a regular basis but who feel that we must not lose ‘our church’ as it is an essential asset for the community. Below shows how our fundraising has progressed this year, so far.... Bequests £4,000 Personal gifts £ 200 Concerts and Film night £ 410 Roof Tile Appeal £1,300 Grants from Trust £10,500 Total £16,410 In February we heard from the All Churches Trust who granted £3000 towards our Appeal and the following month the Garfield Weston Trust responded to our appeal by donating £7,500. This has really given us a boost and a feeling that we are nearly there. Will you help us to cross the line? I repeat my request made in March” Why not make a donation or sponsor a number of tiles as a celebration of living in Up Hatherley, or of a significant life event. A wedding anniversary, birth of a child; memory of a loved one; an achievement; success of a business or just that you love Up Hatherley. Please use the form on page 13 to make your donation. Thank You, Bill Sargison (Chairman of the Appeal Group)

Up Hatherley Parish Council

After 3 weeks of Lockdown, I am reflecting on the article I wrote for the magazine in April – how many things have changed and how some things are just as relevant as they were before….. At the Parish Council meeting in early March, we welcomed 2 new members – Stephen Gutteridge, who will be know to anyone who takes part in our local Health walks and Sam Hodges – who was a member some years back of our Youth Council. Both our new councillors have a keen interest in the environment and will be a real asset to the Parish Council. At the last meeting, we approved a report on how the Parish Council should develop its strategy to combat the effects of Climate Change. This followed one of the windiest and wettest periods experienced in the UK– albeit not as cold as in previous winters. Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis wreaked havoc with trees and fences and many householders up and down the country suffered with flooding – misery for homes and businesses as well as problems for travelling to school and work. Roads that were already in poor condition just became worse. We agreed that we faced an enormous challenge – not only on how to put things back in order but to find ways in which we can act to lessen the damage and to reduce the impact we make on our environment. The plan was to focus the Annual Parish Meeting on the topic of Climate Change and to consult with our local community on the actions that should take priority. Then along came COVID 19….. Before Lockdown, members of our council carried out a litter pick in and around Chargrove Nature Reserve and UBICO took away the pile of rubbish collected. Given how popular the lane is now for people taking their daily exercise (certainly more people than in the centre of town!), it is good to have it looking smarter and we hope that by removing the rubbish that was in the lane, we will discourage further fly-tipping – which is a particular risk at the present. Plans for connecting young and old in our community through the Peoples’ History Project are currently on hold, but it is incredibly heartening to see so many examples of people stepping up to help their neighbours manage social distancing and self-isolation during this pandemic. Local businesses have also demonstrated their care for the local community. For instance, Lakeside Chippy delivering to elderly neighbours and Mr Whippy becoming a mobile grocery shop complete with the jingle. Inevitably, there are instances of inappropriate behaviour, but we should celebrate the good things that happen and keep some of them going in the future. For example, many isolated residents (whose neighbours are now keeping in touch with them) are always isolated. The Pandemic has given many of us the gift of time, but maybe this is something we could always have time to do…. I expect I am not alone in grappling with my fear of technology and by the time you read this, I will have worked out how to set up and chair a meeting without going out of the house. Although I do leave the house ( to work in the NHS , to shop for essentials and to exercise), it is essential that we find a way to ensure that all members of the council can participate without leaving the safety of their own home. Stay Safe!

What a difference a month makes ? That said there has
been a scent of it for weeks. Against the backdrop of the
crisis, nature has put on an extraordinary show. The cher-
ries have been magnificent, the forsythia glowed, and the
tulips have brought real joy. I have a sentimental connection with
them and try to plant more each year as a teasing salute to my late
Dad. My Mum had tulips in her wedding bouquet and each anniver-
sary my Dad would send her a bunch, but he never got the colour
right, travelling through every shade of pink and of course Mum
always had to tell him of his failure. I suspect as the shades grew ever
darker, he was just making mischief. With time on our hands there will
be a high expectation of glorious displays as more folk take to the
garden. With some shortage of resources, we have the chance to
play and to savour the detail, to be more meticulous. I take great joy
from turning ground and then working it with my fingers to see off
rogue weeds and the roots of bindweed and of couch. The reconnec-
tion at the basic level brings immense pleasure. Humour me, cultivate
a two foot square and work it with your fingers to remove everything
that you don’t want to be there. Then plant something in the space
and monitor its celebration of your commitment. If you have seed then
sow them, no matter how old the packet, you’ll get something and if
you have access to plants then as the month moves forward plant
with confidence. Hold back the most tender, cucumbers and marrows
will not enjoy cold nights and hold on to runner beans plants until the
middle of the month, but all the leaf vegetables can go out. On the
flower front the same rules apply, so hold onto busy lizzies, begonias
and marigolds for as long as you can. Pop into the garden in the
evening and smell the air as gardeners have done for decades, you’ll
soon get a feel for change.
If you don’t have access to seed or new plants, then play with what
you have. Prune to create shape, harvest your pruning to create
structures. Willow, cornus, hazel and beech can all be used as plant
supports (gardeners have not always had access to canes).
And finally, enjoy rediscovering the still and bird song at all hours.
Look to a sky free from the streak of jet trails.
Happy Gardening.

Christian Aid Week May 10th—16th
Christian Aid Week News!! Our parish, as normal, have been planning
house-to-house collections this year. However under the current circum-
stances, sadly, these collections will not go ahead. Instead, Christian Aid
Week is moving online! They are building a vibrant, virtual Christian Aid
Week so you can take part with our online community. They would love
all our readers to join in to show love for our neighbours near and far, as
a global family. During Christian Aid Week it’s more important than ev-
er that we come together as a community to worship and to share fun
and fellowship. That’s why during this special week we will be live-
streaming worship each day, and hosting a fun daily quiz to join and raise
funds. Sign up using the links below to take part.
Daily live-streamed worship & Daily fun quiz
Our global response: ‘Christian Aid and our partners already have
experience of limiting the spread of infection during the Ebola crisis, and
we will build on this experience to continue to stand together with com-
munities living in poverty during this period. If infection rates start to de-
velop as they are in Europe, then people in poorer countries will be hit
even harder. Many are already living with reduced health resilience be-
cause of extreme poverty, or in overcrowded humanitarian camps and in
countries which do not have the healthcare infrastructures needed to
combat widespread disease. We will be working on the ground to help
prepare communities to limit the impact of Covid-19. Please pray for us in
this vital work, and support us where you can by making an online dona-
tion.
We are praying for all those affected by this new virus, both in Britain and
overseas, for all those working on the frontline and for wisdom for our
leaders. We will continue to monitor the situation as it evolves. During
this challenging time, we all need to take seriously the science and ad-
vice being offered, remaining calm but vigilant. If you have any specific
concerns or questions please email us at [email protected] or call
our helpline on 020 7620 4444.’

Christ is risen – He is risen indeed! For the Latin scholars amongst you – Christus Resurrexit – Resurrexit vere! The Orthodox who follow the Julian calendar and celebrated Easter Day a Sunday later than the West… Christos Anesti – Alithos anesti! The Easter Proclamation to all of Christendom.
I have in twenty-seven years of ordained ministry celebrated Holy Week and Easter in various liturgical ways, with many different peoples, amongst diverse cultures and in some unusual places and not always on solid ground! But this is the first time I have been without the physical presence of the people of God with which to celebrate the most important Christian so-lemnity.
A lock-down imposed and not having a good relationship with technology I, like so many of my colleagues, have had to learn how to live-stream via Facebook and other forms of media. It began on Mothering Sunday when, although without a congregation, I was joined in church by the preacher Father Jeffery Gunn, and celebrated Mass in front of just my mo-bile phone.
It was an odd experience as Mass is more than just saying the words and performing the liturgical actions. What comes with celebrating on behalf of and amongst the people of God is far more than just them making the responses. It’s the love and untold emotions people bring and ex-press on the day, the hope in prayerfulness and the forgiveness re-ceived, the Gospel message and teaching they hear, the expectation and desire to meet Jesus in the blessèd sacrament they receive and finally the fellowship and support to friends and neighbours with coffee, and hopefully cake, afterwards. Yes, saying Mass can be done on one’s own with the myriad of Angels and Archangels and “surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses” (Hebrews 12:1), but it’s definitely not the same, as the lack of personal touch and human interaction changes the celebration existentially.
Therefore I chose not to live-stream the Sunday morning Mass and sub-ject my congregation and the world to my kitchen table or study, unlike some of my colleagues and the Archbishop of Canterbury, who by the way has a perfectly lovely chapel within Lambeth Palace he could have used! However, having initially been so controversially denied access to our churches I, again like other clergy, sort new or different and simple ways to commemorate the life changing events of Holy Week and Easter and broadcast them to those in my care and further afield from outside of my church.
Maundy Thursday the reminder of the inauguration of the Eucharist sees Jesus celebrating a meal with his friends and was marked with Exposition and Benediction of the Sacrament. Good Friday, the day Jesus gives his life for the sins of the world and us his friends, saw time spend in front of the Cross honouring his sacrifice of love. And then on Easter morn prayer and celebration sing-a-long of the Risen Lord with the trumpet sounding ‘Jesus Christ is risen today’! All live-streamed outside, a witness to the world of God’s saving action whilst the noise of the world passed by in all its forms.
There has been a suggestion that because of the way this pandemic has compelled the Church as a whole to use various facets of technol-ogy that we will be irrevocably changed. Yet the fact that we have been in lock-down, isolated and separated from friends, family, the sick and dying has only seen an increase in our desire to communicate face to face and be as close as possible to those who matter. The staff in care homes who chose to live-in with those for whom they care. The million of volunteers who undertook to deliver essentials to the isolated and whilst doing so present a friendly face and enquire after their health and needs through speaking a kind word. The rise of the humble milk-man who, along with the postman, have through their deliveries sus-tained community links with the outside world and even those who trav-elled too far to be with family. People have discovered friends in their neighbours and trusted strangers for help. And we have rightly praised, given thanks and supported our medical professionals and carers who have risked and in some cases laid down their lives for others. This is the Christ-like manner of life God calls each of us to live at Easter.
No virtual reality or piece of technology could ever simulate the human need for personal contact. Technology cannot convey the hug that says we’re safe, the love within a kiss or the clasp of a familiar hand reassuring peace at the end. It is this personal interaction with humani-ty that God, in and through Jesus, by means of touch and comforting words that cured the blind, deaf, mute and the lame; healed the trou-bled of mind and heart and restored the dead to life.
Easter reminds us that Christ came to transform our relationship with God and by doing so our lives with each other; lives that are not cen-tred on me, myself and I, but on you, we and us.
In learning from this terrible pandemic let the world remember its innate capacity to love and no longer be isolated from God or neighbour but rejoice in the New Life taught, won and freely given by the Risen Christ and the God of love.

Jo Wheeler has set her heart on marrying Sidney Sheppard.
Now he’s dead in a freak fall in Gloucester Cathedral.
The two of them had such great plans for the future that
someone must pay for her disappointment.
Jo is convinced that Sidney’s wife Marjorie is to blame.
Except Jo’s increasingly erratic behaviour convinces the
police that she is the killer.
But who’s the mysterious witness she saw at the scene
of the crime? Why won’t anyone believe he is stalking
her?
Jo must prove she’s right about Marjorie before she, too,
suffers. But is Sidney the man she thought he was?
What happened on his honeymoon five years ago for his
bride to take revenge now?
Is Marjorie really Jo’s sworn enemy, or is she her saviour?
