2 FROM OUR MINISTRY TEAM Receive the Power "I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days." Joel 2:28-29 On Sunday, May 20th the church will be celebrating its birthday. Pentecost was a Jewish festival when people came to Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Weeks. It was 50 days after the Passover festival. The disciples had gathered, still behind locked doors in fear. Staying in Jerusalem as Jesus had told them. Something about receiving power. For the disciples it must have been a strange time - the risen Jesus was no longer with them. They were apparently on their own, even though Jesus had assured them that he would be with them until the end of the age (Matt 28:20). For many of us, the feeling is the same. We might live in families, where there are people around all the time but that does not mean that we are not alone. Sometimes being amongst busy people can be very lonely and daunting. But Jesus had promised the disciples something that would change them. Was seeing the Risen Christ enough to transform the disciples into the dynamic group that is described in the Acts of the Apostles, leading large groups of people, teaching, sharing stories, facing authorities, healing people, speaking to strangers? The answer is no, seeing Jesus in the flesh after his resurrection was not enough, they needed more. The Jewish 2
3 prophet Joel, had foretold (Joel 2:28-29) that God would pour out His Spirit on all people. Pentecost for Christians is a time to remember what happened the first Pentecost after Christ ascended to heaven. We celebrate that the disciples were able to talk in languages not their own and to stand up and be bold in their preaching of the Good News about the Jesus they had lived with, seen die and also seen alive again. The impact was not to allow these disciples, men and women to hide in the locked rooms anymore. So many people responded to Peter's call to be baptised that they could not fit in a single place anymore! So where does this leave you and me? God is still pouring his Spirit on all people today. It was not just a one-off event. Throughout history, men and women have received supernatural gifts that allowed them the courage to stand-up and speak of Jesus, their saviour. God's Spirit is available to you all today. You do not have to continue wondering if Jesus was real, whether he died for your sins, and whether he rose from the dead. You can know that these things happened and that no longer do you need to live in that lonely place, behind locked doors, but God loves you, and that He has a specific purpose for your life. You are not living where you are, or in that family of yours, or doing that job, or working out retirement by accident. God knows you intimately and wants you to receive the power He has for you. Will you ask Him for that power? Jesus said "If you, though you are evil, know how to give your children good things - how much more will the Heavenly Father give His Spirit to those that ask. (Luke 11:11-13). Rev d Martin Roberts 3

The envy of communities far and wide, BREDFIELD CHURCH FETE!

The usual huge range of attractions will be available, but you will have to come along to see what will be NEW!

9 NEWS FROM BREDFIELD MESSY DONKEY PALM SUNDAY SERVICE Bredfield has never seen a Palm Sunday quite like 2018 s! Beginning in the Church with the Baptism of Amber Coad (the undisputed star of the show), followed by an introduction to Palm Sunday by Clare Johnston, the Children s and Families Worker at St John s, we then processed from the Church to the Village Hall behind Magic, Bredfield s very own (Shetland) donkey. At the hall, people were able to take part in a variety of Palm Sunday-themed activities the most popular of which was hand-printing palm fronds onto a large Palm Sunday banner, which has since been used to great effect as an altar cloth in the Church. A delicious afternoon tea was enjoyed by all. It was wonderful to see so many people in the Church and in the hall afterwards from regular to occasional Church-goers, to visitors and people who normally worship elsewhere, who all came together to celebrate Palm Sunday. A big thank you to everyone from the village who helped make the afternoon such a success, and to the team from St John s who made it all happen and who helped and supported us throughout. I ll hold that for you! 9

11 The Children's Society Box Donation for , yes that's how much was collected in donations this year from all the boxes. Well done and a great big thank you to each and every box holder, this was a fantastic amount, a superb effort, far exceeding the sent last year. By now all boxes should be back with you, ready for that loose change! If anyone is interested in becoming a box holder, I will happily answer any questions and give you more information regarding the Children's Society. I look forward to hearing from you. My phone number is Once again "thank you" on behalf of The Children's Society, & best wishes to you all, Angela Derham. Car Boot & Table Top Sale Thank you to everyone who had a table in the hall, on the playing fields, helped cook and serve endless bacon butties, cakes & tea, made sure everyone parked in the right place and to everyone who came and spent their hard earned money. We raised 337 towards the new extension of the Village Hall - many thanks!! The Village Hall Management Committee would also like to thank Bredfield Parochial Parish Council for their generous donation to the extension fund. Anne Henderson 11
12 St Andrew s Amblers What a contrast between our March and April walks! March 7 th was a wintery day, just as the deep snow was starting to melt. A small, hardy and brave group set forth in warm clothes, boots etc. for a short walk, keeping to the roads which were starting to re-emerge. It was cold, it was wet, but we had a great time listening to stories and catching up after the severe weather. The snow drift across Caters Road was still too deep to negotiate, but watching the sheep in the meadow was a welcome sight. Hot drinks and biscuits back at the Church Room were enjoyed by all. In great contrast, our April 18 th walk saw the beginning of Summer. Coats and jumpers came off as we walked across a path over an oil seed rape field which was just starting to show colour, walked along lanes between the early Spring blossom of Sloe and Damson, passed banks of Primroses and Wild Strawberries, Woodland plants such as Dogs Mercury, Oxlip (Five Fingers) and Wood Anemones. We even saw a very unusual periwinkle flower showing beautiful markings caused by the frost, plus 13 roe deer in a field. It was especially good to be joined by 3 walkers from our sister church, St John s. So much to see, so much to chat about, the walk lasted longer than anticipated at 1 hr 45 but we did manage to fit in a chat with someone too poorly to join us. March April For both walks Alison Cannard and Ann Stammers did a recce the day before and for the second walk had gloves and a bag for a rubbish pick. 12
13 Even though we were only partly on the roads, 51 items of litter were picked up on the recce. On the same walk next day about half as many were picked up. What are we doing to our planet? Oceans, countryside, wildlife, are continually mistreated and undervalued. My thought to you: what comes first - humans or the world that we depend on? Ann Stammers Next St Andrew s Amblers: Wednesday 2nd May, starting 10am from St Andrew s Church Room. All welcome! Gentle exercise, countryside, fresh air and friendly chatter.

14 Quotation for May PENTECOST What is Pentecost? Pentecost is regarded as the birthday of the Christian church, and the start of the church's mission to the world. Pentecost is the festival when Christians celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is celebrated on the Sunday 50 days after Easter (the name comes from the Greek pentekoste, "fiftieth"). It is also called Whitsun, but does not necessarily coincide with the Whitsun Bank Holiday in the UK. The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is the third part of the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit that is the way Christians understand God. Celebrating Pentecost Pentecost is a happy festival. Ministers in church often wear robes with red in the design as a symbol of the flames in which the Holy Spirit came to earth. Hymns sung at Pentecost take the Holy Spirit as their theme, and include Come down O Love Divine and Breathe on me breath of God Pentecost Symbols The symbols of Pentecost are those of the Holy Spirit and include flames, wind, the breath of God and a dove. The first Pentecost Pentecost comes from a Jewish harvest festival called Shavuot. The apostles were celebrating this festival when the Holy Spirit descended on them. It sounded like a very strong wind, and it looked like tongues of fire. The apostles then found themselves speaking in foreign languages, inspired by the Holy Spirit. People passing by at first thought that they must be drunk, but the apostle Peter told the crowd that the apostles were full of the Holy Spirit. Adapted from 14
