The Parish Magazine of

St Stephen’s Church

Guernsey

May 2016

A busy church like St. Stephen’s provides so much news each month – an editor’s dream. But wise words came from one contributor this month who also produces his own church magazine. The Rev. Murray George told us that “your magazine is only as good as your contributors”. How very true. We thank everyone who has provided “new topics” yet again. We can’t do without you but new material is always welcomed. Don’t be shy! We are going on holiday now and look forward to coming back to a bumper post. The deadline for the June issue is Thursday May 19th 2016. God’s blessings Val and Graham Moullin email vgarts@cwgsy.net

HOPE FOR HUMANITY

As this issue of the Parish Magazine goes to print, Christians around the world are preparing to celebrate the Ascension of Christ and Pentecost. It is very easy to overlook the importance of the Ascension and to consider it simply as a ‘logical conclusion’ to the resurrection of Jesus (which in a way it is). But it is so much more than that. When our Lord ascended to heaven, the human life of the Son (in which God made himself visible and tangible) disappeared from the human world and was somehow absorbed into the endless life of God. The miracle of Ascension is also that our humanity, all of it, yours and mine, goes with Christ in his Ascension. In St Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, we were reminded that Jesus is the head of the church, ‘which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all’ (1. 23). At his Ascension, our Lord rose in his perfect humanity, and he took with him our humanity, including all of the difficult, resistant and unpleasant bits. He took our humanity with him to the heart of the Father, who in his love waits to heal and transform us. How does God heal and transform us? He does so by the gift and presence of his Holy Spirit, whose coming we celebrate at Pentecost. For each one of us, the Ascension of Christ is a celebration of God’s capacity through his Holy Spirit to reach into those parts of our humanity that are far from glorious; that are rebellious, troubled and broken; and to then breathe life into them and make us new.

BAROQUE IN GUERNSEY AT ST STEPHEN’S CHURCH Saturday 11 June | 8pm

Southbank Sinfonia Julian Perkins director Southbank Sinfonia, an orchestra of young professionals, is internationally recognised as a leading orchestral academy, providing graduate musicians from all over the world with a much-needed springboard into the profession. The orchestra enjoys a longstanding role in the cultural life of Guernsey, helping to foster the next generation of musical talent on the island through its successful visits over the past five years. This year, the whole orchestra travels to Guernsey for an evening of Baroque music rich in glowing drama. Directed by world-renowned harpsichordist Julian Perkins, the programme traverses the musical DNA of Europe, exploring the eighteenth century stylings of Britain, France, Germany and beyond, each with their own delights and nuances.

Programme includes works by Handel, Telemann and

Rameau. Free Admission Retiring collection Susan Lloyd who is organising the Guernsey side of this visit and concert has said they would appreciate any offers of accommodation for the musicians for the nights of June 10 and 11th preferably in or near town. Forms are available at the back of the Church.

THY KINGDOM COME

In the nine days leading up to Pentecost (6th – 15th May 2016), the Archbishops of Canterbury and York hope that there will be a great wave of prayer across the land, throughout the Church of England and other Churches. We are invited to pray: - that all Christians will deepen their relationship with Christ; - that all Christians will have confidence to share the Gospel; - and that all people will 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 Christ taught us – ‘Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.’ When we pray the Lord’s Prayer with sincerity and with joy, there is no imagining the new ways in which God can use us for his glory. Please consider giving some time and thought to this prayer initiative. On Sunday 1st May, Novena Prayer booklets will be made available to the congregations at St Stephen’s; and you may also want to take a copy of Fr. Marc Trickey’s very helpful booklet, ‘The Lord’s Prayer and Christian Witness’, which is already available at the back of the church.

DARKNESS TO LIGHT The Easter Saturday Vigil

Drama came to St Stephen’s that evening when we were joined by the Dean of Guernsey, St Andrew’s Church, and priests from the Town Church and the Vale Church. With Fr John they lit their Paschal Candles from what seemed an explosion of fire bringing light to a darkened church. Share with us Heather’s impressions: After the forty days and nights in the desert, we come to the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday) and the Last Supper when we feel the days beginning to darken again, the night of Gethsemane then Good Friday. There was deep darkness over all the earth, followed by the stillness of Saturday. Then a faint glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, sitting in the darkness, watching and waiting, as we also did that night. Then a stronger flickering, candles being lit, suddenly everywhere was bright light accompanied by the organ at full volume. The ’Light of Christ’ – ‘Thanks be to God’ ringing out, awe inspiring and creating atmosphere in the Church. The Exsultet (Easter song of praise) so beautifully sung. The Testament readings, the choir interspersing with responsorial psalm or canticle, silence, prayer. The blessing of the water at the font, renewal of our promises made at our Baptism. Then on to the Eucharist, ‘What a wonderful service’ I’m sure that we all went home wanting to go out into the world sharing the good news.

“He is risen indeed” “Alleluia” ‘Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your people and kindle in us the fire of your love’

THE BLACK DOT

One day, a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They all waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor handed out the exams with the text facing down, as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked the students to turn over the papers. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions—just a black dot in the centre of the paper. The professor, seeing the expression on everyone’s faces, told them the following: “I want you to write about what you see there”. The students, confused, got started on the inexplicable task. At the end of the class, the professor took all the exam papers and started reading each one of them out loud, in front of the students. All of them, with no exception, defined the black dot, trying to explain its position in the centre of the sheet. After all had been read, the classroom silent, the professor started to explain: “I’m am not going to grade you on this, I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focussed on the black dot– and the same happens in our lives. We have a white piece of paper to observe and enjoy, but we all focus on the dark spots”. HE CONTINUED: “Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, and we all have reasons to celebrate—nature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see every day… However, we insist on focussing only on the dark spot - the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend. The dark spots are very small when compared to everything we have in our lives, but they’re the ones that pollute our mind. HE CONCLUDED: Take away the black dots in your life. Enjoy each one of your blessings, each moment that life gives you. Be happy and live a life filled with love!” Rev. Murray George Source: The Link Alsager & Congleton URC

AN INCREDIBLE WAY TO LOOK AT GOD

When GOD solves our problems, we have faith in HIS abilities. When GOD doesn’t solve our problems HE has faith in our abilities. God’s accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs……. -those of the canary in 14 days; -those of the barnyard hen in 21 days; -eggs of ducks and geese in 28 days; - those of the mallard in 35 days; The eggs of a parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. (notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!) God’s wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant…. The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a high body too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily. The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first. A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation! Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind. Each orange has an even number of segments. Each ear of corn has an even number of rows. Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains. Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number. Amazing!! The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather. All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks. God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day. Linnaeus, the great botanist. Once said that if he had a conservatory contain-ing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of the day or night by the flowers that are open and those that were closed.

The lives of each of us may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for his glory – if we will only entrust Him with our life. If we try to regulate our own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only God, who made our brain and heart, can successfully guide them to a profitable end. I pray God blesses you in ways you never even dreamed. When you carry The Bible, Satan has a headache; when you open it, he collapses; When he sees you reading it, he loses his strength, and when you stand on the Word of God, Satan can’t hurt you! And did you also know… That when you are about to send this to others, the devil will probably try to discourage you, but do it anyway! Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil – it has no point.

Jenny Tasker

His cat had got stuck up a tree and the vicar mounted a rescue operation. He climbed a ladder and tied a rope around the highest point of a tree he could reach; he then tied the other end to the tow bar of his car. Once in the car he very gently drove forward – and the inevitable occurred. The rope snapped catapulting the poor cat heavenwards. No more was heard of the cat. A few weeks later the vicar went to visit a young Mum and her young son, Jack. In the front room sitting on the mat was the vicar’s cat. “Wherever did you find such a lovely cat?” asked the vicar with thinly disguised innocence. “Well, Jack had been asking for a cat for months and in the end I took him into the garden to hang out the washing, I told him that the only thing we could do was to pray. So we put our hands together, looked up to the heavens, closed our eyes and prayed. Dear Jesus, send us a cat. Well vicar, you’ll never guess what happened next

THE WORLD IS MINE

Today on a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman and wished I were as beautiful. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg and used a crutch. But as she passed she smiled. Oh God, forgive me when I whine. I have two legs and the world is mine. I stopped to buy some sweets. The lad who sold them had such charm. I talked with him, he seemed so glad. If I were late it’d do no harm. As I left, he said to, me. “I thank you, you’ve been so kind. It’s nice to talk with folks like you. You see,” he said, “I’m blind” Oh God, forgive me when I whine. I have two eyes; the world is mine. Later while walking down the street, I saw a child I knew. He stood and watched the others play, but he did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and then I said “Why don’t you join them dear?” He looked ahead without a word, I forgot he couldn’t hear. Oh God, forgive me when I whine. I have two ears; the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I’d go… With eyes to see the sunset’s glow. With ears to hear what I’d know.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine.

I’ve been blessed indeed, the world is mine.

David Le Lievre

The vicar’s son had just passed his driving test in the family car. He asked if he could borrow the car on Saturday. “First go and get your haircut,” he was told. “Moses and Noah and even Jesus and his disciples had long hair,” the boy protested. “Yes,” was the reply and they walked everywhere they went”.

CHRISTIAN WITNESS – 3 In the first of these articles, we saw that it is our character which expresses so much about what we believe. In the second , it was the way in which we carry out the work we have to do, that we do it to the best of our ability. In this article, we go a stage further and consider grace and love as the means by which we commend the gospel to others. Grace and love go beyond doing what we have to; they are the working out of generosity and sensitivity; of being aware of the needs of others and seeking to meet them unasked. Some years ago my wife and I were both ill in bed feeling rotten. There was a knock at the door, and there was a friend who’d brought us a hot meal, unasked. That is grace. In the parable of the sheep and goats, Jesus suggests ways in which we can show grace and love – feeding the hungry, giving water to the thirsty, hospitality to the stranger, clothing to the naked, care for the sick, and friendship to the prisoner. Many of us already give to the Food Bank, and a recent letter in the magazine has shown how valuable that is, even in our affluent island. Grace and love can show themselves in all situations, if we’re alive to the possibilities. Being aware of others as we go round the supermarket – a warm smile for the mother struggling with her children; that older person unable to reach the top shelf; allowing the person behind you at the check-out with only a couple of items to go first; or it may be a simple ‘thank you’ to the tired waitress clearing the café tables. Grace shows itself by going beyond the call of duty. It may be in dealing with the public in a busy office and realizing that someone needs more help than would normally be given – going out of your way to meet that person’s needs. Or in an office, realizing that someone is going through a bad time and quietly doing what you can to ease their work and making allowances for their short temper. Behind all our daily dealings with others should be prayer, prayer that God will show us what he wants us to do as we start the day in the office, or enter the supermarket, or wait at the counter, or simply get on with things at home. We may seldom speak the name of Christ, but someone will ask why we’ve acted as we have, and then we can say. Fr Marc

Easter “New Life” Activity Afternoon (Messy Church)

We had a very successful afternoon on Holy Saturday. The families were encouraged to bring posies of flowers for the Easter Garden. The response was exceptional and the children loved putting their flowers in vases and hearing the Easter Story. The weather was very cold and windy with rain threatening and we held the Easter Egg Hunt in the church. The children tiptoed around the church quietly looking for the eggs (thank you to the congregation who have found the missing eggs in the pews). We then enjoyed a lot of craft activities in the Community Centre, making biscuits, decorating crosses, painting an Easter scene and much, much more. The room was buzzing with everyone taking part. Fr John joined us and helped the children make Easter Baskets. There were 20 families with 28 children, 5 families were not able to attend because of sickness.

A very big thank you to the helpers. Jean Le Huray
