Bolingbroke Deanery GrapeVine APRIL 2014 ISSUE 454 Our Resource is the Gospel, and our aim is simple; “To secure a growing, worshipping, celebrating, proclaiming and caring Christian presence in each community of our Deanery.” 50p 1 Bishop’s Letter As I write, many of you will currently be attending Lent groups as part of the Diocesan Lent course this year, entitled ‘Faith at Work’. ‘Faith at Work’ is a clever title: it encapsulates our calling to live out our faith in whatever context we find ourselves – at work, home, school, church, etc. – and it also reminds us that faith itself is constantly ‘at work’ within us. As we go through life, each one of us is living out our calling to be a disciple of Jesus wherever God has set us. Thus our faith is informed by our life’s journey. But the converse is also true: that journey as the people of God is informed by our faith, and so we can truly say that our faith is ‘at work’ within us. While this holds true throughout our lives, Easter brings it into sharp relief. The desolation of Good Friday and the absolute finality that it suggests are so enormous that they can leave us feeling cut off and adrift. A fissure is created, a gap opened up between what we thought we knew to be true and the place in which we now find ourselves. It is when that kind of disjuncture happens that our faith really gets to work within us as we ask the questions about where the journey of faith is taking us, and what it is asking of each one of us. No other event in the Christian story asks this of us in the demanding way that we encounter in the raw power of the Easter story – and no other event shows the extent of God’s love for us as the gift of the death and resurrection of Jesus at Easter. May God bless you and all those you love this Eastertide. +Christopher Lincoln: Cover photograph:The Altar on the northern shore of Lake Galilee 2 HOLY WEEK 2014 Monday Hareby Tuesday Cathedral 6.30pm Evening Prayer 11.00am Chrism Mass Ashby By Partney Wednesday Holy Thursday 6.30pm Evening Prayer St James Spilsby 10.30am Eucharist St Mary Hundleby St Thomas the Martyr Hagnaby 6.30pm Compline St Luke Stickney 7.00pm St James Spilsby Good Friday HOLY SATURDAY Sausthorpe Spilsby Procession from Franklin Statue via town to St James Church St James Spilsby 7.30pm Eucharist Eucharist of Last Supper Garden Service 9.00pm & Vigil 10.00am Morning Prayer UNITED 11.45am PROCESSION Of WITNESS 1.15pm Liturgy St Helen East Keal St Benedict Candlesby 3.00pm Reflection St Mary Hundleby 7.00pm St James Spilsby 10.00am St Jude New Leake St Helen West Keal St James Spilsby South Ormsby Rectory 6.00pm Tenebrae Good Friday Reflections Make Easter Garden 6.00pm Easter Vigil 8.00pm New Fire First Eucharist 10.00pm of Easter 5.30am Dawn Service 3 A Pilgrimage To The Holy Land March 2014 Korazim (Korazin or Korazon) was a prosperous village at the time of Jesus’s ministry in Galilee. It is a little way inland in the hills, but still close to the North Western shores of the lake. It is near to Capernaum, a village where Jesus spent a lot of time, and in close proximity to the supposed sites of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes and the Mount of the Beatitudes. In Luke 10:1-16 we read of Jesus cursing the villages of Korazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum because they did not welcome his teaching: “Woe to you Korazin! Woe to you Bethsaida!… But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgement than for you.” The village was deserted following an earthquake, but the impressive, black, basalt stone remains of the village and its temple, remain an authentic site where we can truly tread in Christ’s footsteps. My wife Jane and I have visited Korazin four times over a number of years and the quiet, undisturbed, hillside setting possess a peace, tranquillity and beauty that always touches our hearts. I wrote this poem following our visit to Korazin on March 6th this year as part of our Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. 4 Korazin / Korazon Korizon, a place apart, Nestled in the folded hills, Hidden from the water’s view, In Galilee I find you still. Deserted now, the people gone, No sound of laughter, bustle, talk. Community of still, dark stones Is all I see as round I walk. But stones shout out, to me at least, And share their burden, history. We only know them for the curse, Because they spurned his ministry. Now, here, amongst the basalt bones Where once life prospered warts and all, The curse has gone, time has forgiven, I stand in thought beside a wall. If He could walk amongst your stones, Where once he felt your hardened heart, Would the peace that I feel now Welcome him, make him a part? And where’s the well-spring of your peace That now you share with all who come? Could it be that Christ himself Has come to stay at Korizon? Peter Staves March 7th 2014 5 STATIONS OF THE CROSS 4th April - OLEM th 11 April - St James’ Church COMPLINE 2nd/9th/16th April - St Mary’s Hundleby, 6,.30pm MASS 9th April - All Saints Toynton, 7.30pm 16th April - St Thomas the Martyr Hagnaby, 7.30pm Easter 2014 So many thoughts flood my mind as we approach another Easter. As I attended yet another Church Annual meeting I know how blessed I am to be surround by such an amazing group of people who give so much love in all that is done not just for a past but for a living way of life that allows God to work in the world he loves so much. To see that also in the various parts of the Holy Land in the crowded places as well as in the deserted ones to feel that even with all the powerful forces that try to divide us the simple wooden cross still wins the way of love. So many memories but among them is the narrow streets of the old city of Jerusalem, walking the “Via del a Rosa” along the shops and stalls, the smells and noise as Jesus would have done. 100 years ago the world was working itself up to war and we are entering a more uncertain and dangerous period too. Yet all your generosity over the last few months for the Philippines and Syria shows that there is a better way. As we prepare to start a new phase in the life of our Mother Church St James Spilsby after the reordering and of our Parishes with the new United Benefice and Team Ministry I know that we have only just begun and pray for the strength to carry on as Jesus did offering what he had and beyond hope bringing new life to all. With the birth of a new granddaughter Georgia I know that life is so full of the new life of Easter that the only way is to follow on. Every Blessing for Easter and beyond Fr Peter 6 The Parish Foundation Course. Discovering our faith, discovering God's call. It is my intention to run the Parish foundation course in the Bolingbroke Deanery starting after Easter. The course is designed to help people discover more about their Christian faith and how that relates to ourselves, our church and our society; and whilst doing so allow people to reflect upon their life's story, to reflect upon their Christian journey, and to discover God's unique call in their life. I hope to hold meetings at my own house where people can be seated comfortably in the warm and where there is the opportunity to break off for coffee and biscuits. The course has a booklet for each person which has a small amount of preparatory reading before each session followed by group work which will consist of discussion and paired work with time for reflection and prayer. There will be plenty of opportunities to discuss your opinions and share personal experiences. The parish foundation course is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with like-minded people and learn more about the Christian faith, but the course can also lead to lay ministry and lay leadership within the church should you discover that God calls you in this direction. The course runs over 15 sessions which will be run weekly following the school term times and will take breaks for holidays. Should you be interested in taking part in this wonderful opportunity I would ask you to make contact with myself on 01790 753553. I look forward to hearing from you. Father Martin.

Ladies and gentlemen will no doubt be queuing up to use the new kitchen so there will be plenty of help! Please look out for the rota at the back of the Church so you can sign up to help with this fund raising event. Coffee and cake and a good chat. What a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning. HELP! Each week 2 readers, 2 people to take the elements to the altar and a sideperson are needed for the 9.30 service. 20 people are prepared to take up the elements but there are only 9 people who are prepared to read and only 9 people prepared to act as sidesperson. It would be really helpful if more people would come forward to read or be a sidesperson and if anyone would like to take up the elements but is too shy to ask we can never have too many people to do that. There is only 1 person acting as sidesperson each morning and we would really like to have 2 on duty to ensure people are welcomed properly. There is no person on duty at Family Service and we would like to rectify this. With only 9 offering to do it at the moment this is difficult. It is intended to have a training session for sidespeople and readers in the near future so now is the time to think if you are the sort of person who could read the lesson, welcome people into the Church, give out hymn books, take up the offertory or just be a friendly face to newcomers. If you think you can help in any way Margaret Cook would be pleased to hear from you as soon as possible. Thank you. 10 THANK YOU Thank you to all those people who have helped to mop and dust the Church each Saturday morning during the reordering of the Church in preparation for the Sunday service. It has been a difficult task as the dust lingers in the air and settles again immediately but the Church has looked very presentable and has enabled the congregation to sit on nearly dust free pews. A small band of ladies has been cleaning the Church every few weeks but more help will be needed now there are toilets and a kitchen to look after. It is quite an enjoyable task as after the hard work tea and scones are usually served! If you are interested in helping in any way please ask any of the cleaning team and you will be made very welcome. Thank you.

Our current project is creating a walk-in shower down stairs which should be completed by the middle of March. On November 12th 2013 the Care Quality Commissioners inspected the following as part of an unannounced routine inspection. Consent to care and treatment; care and welfare of people using the service; cleanliness and infection control; requirements relating to workers complaints. We were fully compliant in all areas and the full report is available on the CQC website. In February we held our first relatives meeting and although only a small number attended it was very successful. At the meeting we had offers of choirs and bands to entertain the residents. February 1st was Dignity Day and we focussed on "All About Me" books and life history's of residents. Volunteers, staff and families enjoyed putting the books together. Two of the residents will be 100 years old in a few months time. March 17th - 21st is National Hydration and Nutrition Week when we are going to have a smoothie day, cream teas and much more. National Care Home Open Day is on June 20th when Eresby Hall will yet again be opening its doors for people to come in and have a look at what we have to offer. We look forward to seeing you. Helena Shelton. Manager of Eresby Hall 13 The Halton Holegate Benefice Healing Service. The inaugural benefice Healing Service was celebrated on the 16th March at St Andrews Church, Halton Holegate, and it is intended that there will be a healing service at the same church at six o'clock every third Sunday of the month. The healing ministry at St Andrews Church is for everyone, whether they attend any church in the benefice or not, for we all need healing in some way. Through the healing ministry, Jesus Christ meets us at our point of need. Every form of suffering can be helped in some way through this ministry. Just as Jesus proclaimed the good news of healing through his ministry of healing, which were demonstrations of the effects of God’s kingdom breaking through into this world, so, too, the Church’s ministry can also be described as one of healing – the healing of ourselves, and of our relationships with God, with one another and with our environment. That is why we hear phrases such as “the healing of society” or “the healing of our divisions”. The ministry of healing is the ministry of prayer, word, sacrament and pastoral care, with the laying on of hands and anointing, by which the Church acts as a channel of Christ’s healing grace to give people that fullness of life that he intends for them. Dr Gareth Tuckwell described healing services as a place to know the love of God restoring us in every cell of our being, every thought of our mind and every pang of emotion to enable us on every step of life’s journey. The healing service at St Andrews Church is not just for those people who desire healing in their own lives; it is a special time where people can pray for other people to be healed, either from within their families, their friendship circles or the wider world. The service is also available for people who wish to pray for situations and events in the world which they would desire to see healed. The next Healing Service at St Andrews Church in Halton Holegate will be at 6pm on Easter Day, Sunday, the 20th April. It promises to be a time of reflection, prayer, music, candlelight and delighting in the presence of a healing God. We extend an invitation to all of you who read this article to come and join us at St Andrew’s Church on the 20th April. Father Martin. 14 MARDEN HILL -East Keal-East Kirkby-Hagnaby-Hagworthingham-Hareby-Mavis Enderby-MiningsbyLusby-Old Bolingbroke-Toynton All Saints-Toynton St. Peter-West Keal APRIL 2014 PATTERNS of WORSHIP 6th April 5th Sunday of Lent West Keal Old Bolingbroke Toynton All Saints East Kirkby 9.30am 11.15am 11.15am 3.00pm 13th April East Keal Hagworthingham Toynton St Peter 9.30am Holy Communion 11.15am Morning Prayer 3.00pm Evening Prayer Mavis Enderby Old Bolingbroke Toynton All Saints West Keal East Kirkby Hagworthingham Halton Holegate 8.00am 11.15am 11.15am 11.15am 3.00pm 6.00pm 6.00pm Palm Sunday 20th April Easter Day 27th April 2nd Sunday of Easter East Keal Hareby Toynton St Peter Holy Communion Holy Communion Morning Prayer Holy Communion Holy Communion Morning Prayer Holy Communion Morning Prayer Evening Prayer Holy Communion Healing Service 8.00am Holy Communion 9.30am Holy Communion 3.00pm Holy Communion Holy Week Services – see page 3 Group Registers Funerals: Alice Jackson 103years John Stanley Williams 68years Lincoln (W.Keal) Hagworthingham died 18.02.14 died 27.02.14 Diary Dates - April 2nd Lusby & Hagnaby APCM, venue & time to be arranged th 4 Toynton All Saints Primary Easter Service in church, 2pm th 8 Hagworthingham Buildings meeting, 7pm th 11 Mavis Enderby APCM, Phil Woodgate’s, 7pm th 12 East Keal Jumble Sale in church, 2-4pm rd 23 St George’s Day service, Lusby church, 6.30pm.

So wrote the poet Browning. Well, we are in England right now so let's take a look at why he saw such wonder in this month. The winter has almost passed and Spring is in the air; the daylight gets longer every day and there is an air of expectation around us. Have you ever considered how plants really know when to leap into life or when animals know to come out of hibernation? Why has our atmosphere got warmer and why does it rain less? (if we are lucky). Cheery, yellow daffodils, small furry animals, blossom on trees which looked dead previously and a hot summer sun, (again, if we are lucky), fruits ripening in the garden - I could go on but the words of a popular hymn instantly come to mind. "All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small ---- the Lord God made them all. Doesn't that just say everything we need to know? The realisation that mankind played no part in the creation of our beautiful planet may be difficult to accept for some. Its splendour however, can never be denied. God is the creator and humankind has the privilege of being his gardener. He produces and we maintain. I suppose I should really be writing about Easter during April. The crucifixion is a cruel, unattractive picture but I see the outcome as yet another of God's creations - that of a new way of life to assist us on our spiritual journey. How wonderful is that? Our creator knows exactly what he is doing ----unlike us a lot of the time! I.G.

Why not put your name on the Flower Rotas? Service of Prayer every Wednesday 10.00am St Mary’s Church, Tetford. First Wednesday each month Holy Communion 1 Cross + 3 nails = 4 given Lent, Holy Week & Easter cannot be ignored by any Christian and I do pray that we come to Easter Morn 2014 knowing just how much we are loved and forgiven by the 1 cross and 3 nails. Sometimes just two or three words bring us to our senses. We are very distracted by life and all its commitments, worries and responsibilities. We have too much to do and too little time, so many things must be achieved, yesterday. Nothing will wait and room for God & prayer gets pushed to the side; “ I will tomorrow.” The other side of that, of course, is the relentless pursuit of happiness, whatever the cost, me, me, me, is all that matters and our faith takes a constant hammering. Our tiny group of parishes and our deanery do much to make the worship of God relevant, we all try very hard to encourage and enable. We all have to think very hard about whether we wear Christianity like an old comfy jumper or, whether we actively promote the gospel of Christ in our lives. Hopefully our lives are enriched by the words and actions of those around us and our loved ones. A student at Lincoln Minster School asked me for some information as to my role as priest, the questionnaire was quite comprehensive, I share one of my answers; I have always had a calling to the ordained ministry and I believe this to be from God. As a priest I am involved in all aspects of parish life, my role is very varied, but theologically priests are called to be shepherds of God’s people. To ensure they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ in their lives and to be with them at the important stages in their lives. Helping this student started me thinking about Sully and his inimitable ministry and a couple of things he wrote for his funeral service stirred my thoughts; As a priest I want to acknowledge the gift people have given me in letting me share their pilgrimage. I hope I’ve been a support and encourager of all who want to take seriously what God is up to in their lives. Sully was a great motivator and an inspiration to so many people. 26 As we travel the road of Lent, so many things have to be thought about and worked through, we are all in this wonderful world together. The assaults and trials of life are for sharing and working through together. May we all come to Easter Morning, having travelled together, and know with absolute certainty that for each and every one of us – 1 Cross + 3 nails = 4given. Your South Ormsby Group Swearing in Service for your Wonderful Churchwardens. Sunday April 6th St Leonard, South Ormsby; 10.30am The Archdeacon of Lincoln, The Venerable Tim Barker We are so fortunate to find good people willing to serve God and his people in this way. Please do come and show how much we appreciate their ministry at the service on April 6th. Your South Ormsby Group Lent Study Course Faith at Work: produced by Lincolnshire Chaplaincy Services. Designed around the four areas of: Welcome - Word - Worship - Witness “How To Be a Disciple” by Dallas Willard: “…Consider just your job, the work you do to make a living. This is one of the clearest ways possible of focusing upon apprenticeship to Jesus. To be a disciple of Jesus is, crucially, to be learning from Jesus how to do your job as Jesus himself would do it. New Testament language for this is to do it “in the name” of Jesus. Once you stop to think about it, you can see that not to find your job to be a primary place of discipleship is to automatically exclude a major part, if not most, of your waking hours from life with him. It is to assume to run one of the largest areas of your interest and concern on your own or under the direction and instruction of people other than Jesus…. …if we restrict our discipleship to special religious times, the majority of our waking hours will be isolated from the manifest presence of the kingdom in our lives.” Copyright (c) 1998 by The Christian Century. Reprinted by permission from the April 22-29, 1998 issue of The Christian Century. Sessions Remaining Tuesday April 1 , Monday April 7th, Monday April 14th All at the Rectory, 7-15pm The material is very interesting and thought provoking and leaves much scope for our own thoughts and questions. st 27 Seen on a church notice board “The best vitamin for a Christian is B1” “Come as you are, you are not too bad to come in and you are not too good to stay out.” Tetford & Salmonby Scarecrow Festival. May 4th, 5th 2014. Scarecrows are Go! Please do encourage people you know to join in. Should you have time to offer to help over the weekend in any way from washing up to welcoming visitors, please get in touch Sandra 01507- 534434 St Mary, Tetford and the good people of Tetford & Salmonby will benefit from any monies raised and you know, with your help, it will be another wonderful enjoyable event for everyone Scarecrow Making Evening Come & have the time of your life amongst friends old & new. Marie & Ray at Tetford Country Cottages invite everyone to a Scarecrow Making Evening Thursday May 1st - 6pm onwards. No hassle, no fuss, just lots of fun and many scarecrows as a result. Please bring your scarecrow outfits, frames etc, help available for putting together and straw will be provided. Worzel Gummidge prepare to be mightily impressed Refreshments available. Then have another wonderful time watching everyone enjoy themselves over The Scarecrow Weekend. We have much to celebrate. We moan, we throw up our hands and, sometimes, we can be downright rude and hostile as fundraising is mentioned. Our attempts can be mocked and declared; “a waste of time.” Actually many things are achieved amidst the relentless round of raising funds. (Chapped hands, empty purses, aching 28 backs and legs notwithstanding.) People get together, work together, laugh together and commit of their time, energy and love to ensure that their communities are alive, welcoming and friendly. To all of you good people who are busy baking, gardening, cleaning, sewing, typing, painting, talking, singing, reading, studying, stewarding and all those other things. To all of you I say a huge thank you. The South Ormsby Group of Parishes owes its past and its future to you. Fundraising is relentless but somehow, up to yet, we have managed it and enjoyed doing it. Life is for living and the people in this tiny group certainly give it their best shot. Thank you for all that you do.

Caroline Swindin Community Fundraiser Welton, Market Rasen, & East Lindsey Areas Mobile: 07435 970309 A reminder it would be lovely to see as many people as possible at the Coffee Morning on Tuesday 22 April at the home of Mavis & Albert Maw, New Dawn, Station Road, and Legbourne from 10am -12 noon. Funds from this will contribute to the continuing delivery of patient care by St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice in the East Lindsey area. This is the second year the Coffee Morning has taken place organised in conjunction with Pat & Leonard Brumpton, whose daughter Michelle and family were cared for and supported by St Barnabas. As well as a section of delicious refreshments there will also be a tombola, cake stall and more, donations for these are welcome. I would like to thank Mavis and Albert, Pat and Leonard for all their hard work in organising and hosting this morning. Events like these in the heart of 29 communities really do make a difference both in raising funds to support the work and services of the Hospice and also awareness of the wide range of services the Hospice provides. I will be at the Coffee Morning so please do come along and if you would like to learn a little more I would be delighted to talk with you. Alternatively if you know of any community groups however small or large who would be interested in receiving a talk about our work I would be delighted to do so. I still find many people are not aware of the wide range of services we provide and I have had a number of conversations where people have said `I wish I had known about your services….’ so please do get in touch. There is no fee, for such talks a donation may be made at the discretion of the group. There are other local opportunities to meet myself and my fellow Community Fundraiser in the East Lindsey area Amy Reeve; why not come along to… Easter Fun and Egg Hunt Rushmoor Country Park, Louth on Easter Sunday 20th April.
