1 NEWSLETTER December 2016 A very Happy Christmas to all
2 FROM THE MINISTER S STUDY Dear Friends, My favourite Advent joke is this one (credit to Tim Vine). A friend of mine said Advent Calendars were going out of fashion, their days are numbered. I am sure many of you will have seen the Christmas edition of the Vicar of Dibley where Alice, the Verger, ends up giving birth in the middle of the Village Nativity. Ooh it s very realistic one of the audience is heard to say. In that episode, Geraldine, the Vicar, produces a poster that calls the Nativity the greatest story that has ever been told. There follows much debate as to whether it really is the greatest story ever told, with the macabre Owen proposing a somewhat gruesome alternative. Geraldine eventually wins the day, however, by pointing out that this tale about a baby born in a stable is still told today, over 2000 years later. Why do we continue to tell this story today? Why is our history dated from before or after the birth of Christ? When the church feels irrelevant and insignificant in society today, have we forgotten that as Christians we are guardians of a tradition that has changed the world beyond all recognition? In Matthew s birth narrative, the Magi visit the baby Jesus in a turbulent historical time. The birth takes place under the Roman empire and in a place ruled over by the brutal King Herod. It is telling that having encountered Jesus, they returned home by another road (MT 2:12). It was the birth of this child that would ensure history, especially in the West, would continue by another road. I hope this Christmas we can once again encounter the continuing significance of the Word become flesh. In a turbulent time, we will not need to look very hard to appreciate the relevance this Christmas of a light shining in the darkness. And as individuals, as we encounter Jesus anew this Christmas season, may each of us allow our lives to be transformed more and more, as we too return home by another road. Love, Peace and Joy, Andrew Strictly speaking I know that they got their calculations wrong when they reset the calendar in the middle ages. Jesus was probably born in 4BC, but the principal remains the same!

6 REVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR This Christmas please join us in taking part in the Reverse Advent Calendar. Instead of opening the usual calendar and receiving a gift, why not try putting an item each day into a box for the foodbank. Place non-perishable items into the box, items that can be used to make up a Christmas meal or a few luxury items to help make Christmas feel special. Each box should have 24 items (please see the list below), bring the box to church before Sunday December 18 th to allow time for the boxes to get to the foodbank. You don't have to wait until December to start your box. We encourage groups within the church and wider community to take part. Basic Items UHT milk (1litre) Instant Coffee Tea Bags Sugar Fruit tea bags Tinned fruit Tinned tomatoes Tinned vegetables Instant Mash Gravy granules Jars of cooking sauce Biscuits Cereal Bars Rice Pudding Custard Tinned meat Luxury Christmas Items Evaporated milk Tinned pies Mint sauce Hot chocolate Jelly Chocolate bars Boxes of chocolates Luxury biscuits Crisps Sweets Crackers Bars of soap Shampoo Conditioner Deodorant Shower gel 5

This means bringing them to church on Sundays 11 th or 18 th. Thank you. Margaret, Doug and John CHRISTMAS CHUCKLE! Shortly before Christmas, a Methodist minister discovered a box of wine left anonymously in his porch. He considered carefully how he might acknowledge this gift that many might think was inappropriate for a devout Methodist! The following Sunday, during the carol service, he made this announcement: I would like to thank the kind person who left me a lovely gift of fruit earlier this week. I particularly appreciated the spirit in which it was given! 6
