3 From the Rector... Greetings in the name of Christ It s an amazing story involving heart, head and history. A key from the Titanic, the ship that sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City, was sold for 85,000 on 22nd October There were 2,200 passengers and crew on the ship, and only one third of them survived the tragedy. The key belonged to a third-class steward, Sidney Sedunary. He died when the Titanic sank and the key was subsequently found on his body. Although the key was rusty and unremarkable, it was no ordinary key it was a key for the life-jacket cupboard on one of the lower decks on the ship. According to the report of the inquiry following the tragedy, the steward had fulfilled his duty, presumably in opening the cupboard and enabling people to escape with their lives. The person who did the news report described the key, as the key that, for some, unlocked a path to salvation. The price of the key at the auction wasn t linked to its value as people might value diamonds or gold, the price had much more to do with history, head and heart. As we approach Remembrance Sunday, there s something else which might seem unremarkable; and is so significant in terms of history, head and heart the poppy. This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, one of the costliest battles in terms of the loss of life during the First World War; the Battle of the Somme began on 1st July and continued for 141 days, ending 18th November. It was a battle in which thousands of men from Ulster and other parts of Ireland were killed. After the First World War the poppy was chosen as a symbol of Remembrance a symbol to remind people of the cost of war and the courage, commitment and sacrifice of those who have served and died. The poppy a symbol of history, head and heart. Another symbol of heart, head and history is the cross. It s an historical fact that Jesus died on the cross and was raised to life again. People can know about this historical event, in their heads, and not realize the significance it has for them and others. People also need to recognize/realize the extent of God s love for them, respond to that love and allow that love to touch their hearts and transform their lives as they choose to follow Jesus and live for Him. History, Head and Heart! Roderic SEAPATRICK PARISH MAGAZINE 03

5 Baby Basics and Who Let the Dads Out? Over the last few months we have applied for start-up grants from Cinnamon Network to help establish a Baby Basics Centre and a new Project for Dads and their Kids called Who Let the Dads Out? Both grants have been approved. Baby Basics In the next few months we plan to start a Baby Basics Centre. Baby Basics is a volunteerled project aiming to support new mothers who are struggling to meet the financial and practical burden of looking after a new baby. Referrals are made through midwives, health visitors and other professional groups and Baby Basics provides support directly where it is most needed. Baby Basics volunteers lovingly collect, sort and package a Moses Basket of clothing, toiletries and essential baby equipment as an attractive gift to new mothers. The aim is to help new mothers practically and generously, demonstrating the love of God through our care. Who Let the Dads Out? Who Let the Dads Out? is coming soon. Who Let the Dads Out? provides an opportunity for dads, father figures and their children to have fun together as they journey through life. Each session is founded on the Christian principle of wanting to demonstrate God s love to our community in the context of family support, ministry and mission. Our first Who Let the Dad s Out? will be Wednesday 30th November from 6.30pm to 8.00pm and will be a Games Night. Call in for half an hour or for all of it. See you there! A Generous God All parishioners who have Weekly Envelopes or who contribute to Church Funds by Standing Order should receive a letter, with this magazine, thanking them and updating them on what they have given this year from the 1st January to 30th September. Please contact the Parish Office if you contribute to Parish Funds in either of these ways, and have not received a letter. Thank you for what you have given and continue to give. We believe in a God who is generous and as we are created in God s image, we are called to be generous as God is generous. We encourage all parishioners to give generously as we seek to partner with what God is doing in and through His Church Acknowledgement The Rector and Select Vestry acknowledge with thanks and appreciation the bequest of 5,000 to the Church by the late Mrs Janet Sherwood.

7 CAP Life Skills CAP to serve the poor, save the lost, with the Church across the nation. Christians Against Poverty was started in Its founder, John Kirkby, believed that God was calling him to give up his career in finance and use his knowledge of the industry to help the poor. Twenty years later, CAP has become a charity that is tackling the main causes of UK poverty debt, unemployment and addiction through 576 church based projects. Through Debt Centres, Job Clubs, Release Groups and Life Skills, it is possible for those struggling to find a way forward with the love and support of a Church family. As part of Christians Against Poverty, Seapatrick Parish is now offering a new and exciting Life Skills programme and it is planned to hold our first 8-week course early in This is a friendly group that gives people the confidence and decision-making skills they need to survive life on a low income. Practical money-saving techniques, such as cooking on a budget, living healthily on less, and making money go further are just a few of our ideas. This programme is available to everyone in the community so if you know of anyone who would benefit from this help, please let them know about Life Skills. Prayer is vital to success so we are asking for your prayers for CAP Life Skills Commit to the Lord whatever you do and He will establish your plans Proverbs 16:3. For more info about CAP Life Skills, please contact the Parish Office on Intern Appointed The vestry report in the June Magazine noted that a grant of 26,000 had been received from the Church of Ireland Orphans and Children s Society to help us develop and deliver programmes and courses for children from 0 14 years and their families. We recently advertised for an Intern to help develop and deliver these programmes and courses and be involved in other aspects of the Church s ministry and mission. We welcome Anna Williams who is starting with us in November. Anna is excited about the opportunity to serve God in a local church context, to develop skills, experience new things and grow in her own discipleship as she serves God. Anna is from Hillsborough and has completed a Masters in Global Ethics and is taking some time out after her studies to complete an internship as she seeks to hear where and what God wants her to do next. A Church Internship is about growing as a disciple of Jesus through; Biblical study, practical ministry training, personal discipleship and working in a ministry team for a fixed term. It is not a salaried post, but money from the grant will be used to offset expenses. SEAPATRICK PARISH MAGAZINE 07

Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme including traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking, as well as a wider spectrum of adventurous activities, from abseiling to zorbing. Participation rather than meeting set standards is our key approach, and there are a number of badges and awards that Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements. With the support, direction and guidance of Unit leaders, Explorer Scouts are encouraged to lead themselves, design their own programme and work towards the top awards that Scouting offers. With exciting prospects like being a part of camps and expeditions both home and abroad; adventurous activities such as mountaineering, parascending and off shore sailing; Explorers offers fun and adventure for all. Explorers also have the opportunity to be a part of The Young Leaders Scheme which develops their leadership skills and sense of responsibility, by helping to run meetings for younger sections. Not to be left out the over 18 s can become the new batch of adult leaders that we as a movement need to provide the programme for our young people. Being a member of this section (Network) you can still work towards gaining your Queens Scout Award and DoE Gold. If you are interested in any of the above, contact the parish office or any of the leaders within the group for further information.

17 Diocesan Synod The Diocese of Down and Dromore was in good heart when it met for the annual Synod in Holywood Parish Church on 20th October In his presidential address the bishop noted some of the changes in society, but more particularly, in ministry and leadership, which had occurred since his consecration in The Bishop highlighted elements of a flourishing diocese; from the statistics we heard in his Presidential address and in the stories shared with us in the Conversation on the Work of God. Looking to the future, Bishop Harold said that to be faithful and effective we needed to discern and release the gifts of the ascended Lord expressed in Ephesians 4:11 those of apostles, prophets, evangelists and pastor teachers and went on to speak about each in turn. He concluded: I want to say Thank you to all who have used their God given gifts over those nearly twenty years when I have been your overseer. We would not be where we are without your ministry, lay or ordained. In Synod business, members approved revised Diocesan Regulations on elections and also agreed that the overall assessment for the Diocesan General Fund in 2017 would be a 2.5% reduction on the figure charged to each parish in Bishop Dan Herzog, in his address at the Holy Communion Service, when he was speaking about ministry and mission reminded Synod it s We get to do this! rather than We ve got to do this! In other synod business: Synod members heard that the review and restructuring of the diocesan administration was nearing completion. After lunch synod heard three presentations: Historian and parishioner of Ballylesson, Dr Brian Walker, shared six intriguing little known facts about 1916 while Julie Currie (Children s Officer for the Diocese) took to the podium with a copy of the recently completed and printed Year 1 Jigsaw Curriculum. The final presentation came from Matt Peach, a member of the Board of Directors of the Kilbroney Centre in Rostrevor. Bishop Ken Clarke in a Synod postscript wrote; If a movement is to stay a movement it has to keep moving! A great world changing movement started 2000 years ago through the life death and resurrection of a carpenter from Nazareth. The Movement is called the Church of Jesus Christ! Our Synod was timely evidence that His Movement continues in this Diocese and around the world. There is momentum and thank God this Christ inspired missional movement is still moving! In the words of Psalm 118 verse 23: This is the LORD s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. Christmas Tree Festival St John s Parish Church, Mullabrack Thursday 24th - Sunday 27th November Teas, Saturday Morning Big Breakfast & Christmas Dinners will also be served SEAPATRICK PARISH MAGAZINE 17
