Dear Friends,

I have been thinking a lot about gratitude recently. As

children most of us have been brought up to express

gratitude in our daily lives, we were encouraged to

say please and thank you from an early age, some

have been expected to write thank you notes for

presents received at birthdays and Christmas, but

more and more often these habits of formal gratitude

seem to be sliding away.

I find myself more often surprised (and delighted) when I occasionally receive a

thank you note for things I do in the day by day in my ministry, (this is not a

hint!) when in the past these things might have been regarded as common

courtesy. I wonder about my own behaviour and how much my gratitude to

God and to other people are more a matter of manners rather than deep

appreciation.

I remember a few years ago another Deacon friend of mine, at the beginning

of new year encouraged friends, neighbours and congregations to make for

themselves a ‘Jar of Joy’ and to daily and weekly write down things they were

grateful for and pop the notes in the jar. To record things that brought them

joy; for great days out, long conversations with friends, glorious sunsets,

concerts, time spent in the garden, a hug by a grandchild, a helping hand by a

neighbour and then at year end next to open the jar and rediscover all the

great things they had experienced in that year.

Interestingly, we discovered it had a much more profound impact than we

expected, because those who joined in found themselves, week in and week

out, much more positive and joyful finding themselves sharing with one

another the good things life can bring as they happened.

The apostle Paul writes in Philippians:

‘In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and

that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and

honourable. Put into practice what you learned and received from me, both

3

from my words and from my actions. And the God who gives us peace will be

with you.’ (Philippians 4 v8,9)

Perhaps creating our own ‘Jar of Joy’ would be a good way to start a new

Methodist or school year!

With love, Maureen

On Saturday 22nd June Katie, Betsy and Emily attended the District Girls’ Brigade Sports Day at Norman Park athletic track. The girls did amazingly well considering there were so few of them, they came 6th out of nine companies an excellent result for only three girls competing against much larger teams.

We held our Brigade Open Evening on Thursday 27th June when all the girls received the badges they had worked hard for over the year. I would like to thank Penny Hand our GB President coming along to present the awards, also our Deacon Maureen Spinks for attending her for first open evening at BCMC. This was a very successful evening and it was lovely to look back at all the things we had achieved over the year.

Badge work was just about completed before the Open Evening. During the last week of their Humility badge the girls had a pamper evening where they attended to each other’s needs by painting their nails, doing their hair and massaging their feet amongst other things (see photos). Showing humility by putting their friends first.

We were fortunate to have lovely weather during our last couple of weeks of term and were able to get to Norman Park on a couple of occasions when the girls and boys were able to play non-stop cricket and rounders. Apart from a couple of minor injuries a fantastic time was had by all, especially on the last week when Andy brought along a cool box full of Fab ice lollies (other ice creams are available!)

We are now looking ahead to our return to Brigades on the 13th September when we will begin another year of fun and games. Things will be different in September as we are moving all the sections to a Friday night to enable the staff to best support the children. Please pray for us all as work together through these changes. I am looking forward to seeing all the children return to Brigades refreshed after their Summer break. It would also be wonderful to have some new boys and girls join us particularly in the younger sections. Please contact any of the Brigade staff or email brigades@bcmc.org.uk if you know anyone who may be interested. Sue Luxford, GB Team Leader

At the end of the sessions before the summer break the boys enjoyed evenings over Normans Park where we enjoyed games of cricket and rounders. Junior Section Camp: Three of the boys attended this year’s Camp at Carroty Wood during June where they participated in games, swimming, an assault course alongside more ambitious activities such as abseiling or high ropes. This year our GB attended to see if we can run a joint camp, so thank you to the girls who attended and we had a great time. It just proves that we can work together to make things happen for the children. The theme this year was ‘Pirates’ so well done to the staff who participated and dressed the part ! It is always a busy and exhausting weekend but the boys and girls enjoyed themselves and came away thoroughly worn out. (see pictures, right) Awards: Well done to the boys at the awards ceremony we hosted at our open day. Jude, Henry, Ben, Manav and Oliver were all awarded their Gold Badges and were promoted to our Company Section and we look forward to welcoming them along with Thomas in September. William was awarded his Bronze award and will be working towards his Silver when he returns in September. All Change: In September we have changed our timetable so that we can ensure all the Sections across BB and GB can be delivered. So we will be meeting on a Friday and timetable is shown in the magazine. We would welcome new boys to attend – so please let everyone know how much fun you have, the activities we do and how many friends you have made through the Brigades. Andy Butler | Leader

All the leaders are looking forward to our new session. This will begin, for all sections, on Friday 13th September. Let me briefly explain the rationale behind this change.

For the last few years we have held brigades for the lower age groups on Thursdays and for the older ones on Fridays. The equivalent boys

and the girls sections have been meeting at the same time, with some activities being shared. This has worked well. In terms of numbers and leaders, this distribution has worked well. However, many boys and girls are due to move up into a section relating to an older age group which meets on Fridays. To staff this we have decided to move all sections to Fridays, so staff do not have to meet on 2 consecutive days and we can use them move efficiently. However, there will be no major staff changes, although some will be able to help out in sections they would not normally be associated with. This does leave us with numbers which are rather low in the younger sections. We will be looking to recruit into these sections this term. If you are aware of anyone who has children in the 5-11 age groups which may be interested, please contact one of the officers.

Please see page 4 for the new timings of the sections.

Parade Services Please put these in your diary so you can come to support your families Sunday 6th October - which will also be our Harvest Festival. Maureen Spinks is very keen to be involved with the brigades and will be working with them to be more involved in services and include their own ideas. Sunday 3rd November Sunday 1st December – This will be the advent service which will be organised and entirely delivered by the brigades. Please do you best to ensure your sons and daughters are available for this service. It will be a relaxed and enjoyable celebration of Christmas.

What is the cutest season? Awwtumn.

Why did Humpty Dumpty love autumn? Because Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

The police have arrested two men for stealing batteries and fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.

Why are trees very forgiving? Because in the Autumn they "Let It Go" and in the Spring they "turn over a new leaf".

Bromley Common Brigades May Weekend Camp & Night Hike 2019 Over the Bank Holiday Weekend (24th - 26th May) the Girls of Bromley Common Brigades undertook an exciting camp at Downe Activity Centre. The group comprised of 5 girls - Louisa, Vicky, Ruby, Brooke and Nicole – and Thomas from BB joined us on Saturday. Friday night we met at the Church Hall. As a weekend event, the girls arrived with more bags than their poor Sherpas could carry. We managed to get the burgeoning bags into the cars and set off for Camp.

Friday was spent pitching the tents and the girls were great in assisting with their tent before going off to find water. The evening was spent talking and then the girls went off to the tent. Not to sleep – but to talk and sing before they were reminded that the singing needed to stop after midnight.

Saturday morning we had a full fried breakfast before we set off for our first activity, Crate Stacking. This was an entertaining challenge trying to build a stack of crates whilst standing on them. The girls were brilliant even getting to over 15 crates high. When it came to leaders it was less successful – Andy & Jo got on well together whereas John and Sue struggled with Sue having a fit of the giggles and then when they did all collapse we managed to ‘drop’ John ! (sorry).

Lunch involved the girls cooking their own burgers on camping stoves which they all did very well. Thomas had joined us and cooked his own burgers and then started preparing the camp fire. After lunch we had our second challenge called ‘High All Aboard’. This involved three people individually climbing a telegraph pole until the three were ‘balanced’ on a small platform and were to then hold hands and lean out! Needless to say that whilst everyone climbed the pole – but the leaning out – no one was that keen !! Later in the afternoon we played a wide game to secure crystals from opposite camps. The leaders, boy and girls enjoyed charging around the woods trying to get the wool off the opponents. After the game a small number of deer had been seen. They all went off to see them and spent some time watching the deer. It was at this point we realised that Nicole was now wearing her (I think) 5 change of clothes for the day and in all wore 6-7 different outfits during Saturday.

The girls then prepared dinner (SpagBol) that was rather nice, and Thomas prepared the camp fire to enjoy toasted marshmallows. At around 10pm we departed on our hike for which it stayed dry (hurrah!). This was the first time the girls completed the whole route as last year it was curtailed due to a thunderstorm. We ventured through the woods, hills and valleys around Biggin Hill taking in Cricket pitches and graveyards. They were able to make it all the way round and we returned to camp at just after 1am. Sunday morning was a quieter affair but we managed a cooked breakfast and packed up camp before going off to our final challenge – the Zip Wire. Everyone had a few goes with Jo going fully upside down and backwards !

Thanks to all the girls and Thomas for the weekend we thoroughly enjoyed. My thanks go to Sue, Jo and John who helped run the camp and it couldn’t happen without them. Andy Butler

Dear God, Sometimes I feel like an earth-worm. I crawl on my belly and eat earth from morning till evening, and dirt from

evening till morning. And people walk by and say: Ha, it’s only an earth-worm and they hurt me and trample on me with their shoes. And sometimes a magpie walks up and down all majestic

in black and white, and he pecks at me and I have to slip away into the earth. Why do I have to be an earth-worm? Why can I not be a flamingo or a mighty roaring lion, or at least a butterfly? Why am I just an earth-worm? Dear God, you did not ask me whether I wanted to be an earth-worm. My parents did not ask me whether I wanted to be an earth-worm or whether I wanted to be at all. And so I am what I am, an earth-worm. ‘Till that moment when you, God, whisper into my ear; Earth-worm you are important! Without you there is no life, no plants, no vegetables, no animals, no people, no university, no government, no science and art and no magpies in all their academic glory. What can I say to this, dear God? I know what I say: I say, thank you, dear God, thank you indeed. I am important. But dear God, I wonder whether you couldn't tell that to the magpies too. Thank you. by Walter J. Hollenweger Maggie used this piece during the Songs of Praise service in June and wanted to share it with you here.

The Hymns We Sang in 2018—some facts and figures During the course of 2018 (January to December) a total of 279 hymns were sung at BCMC during our regular 10.30am Sunday morning services, plus the special services held for Covenant, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the welcome service held for Terry, Duncan and Alison in September. Of this number there were 192 unique hymns, mostly taken from our main hymn resource Singing the Faith. But which hymns are chosen/sung most frequently? There were 37 hymns chosen twice and 135 hymns chosen once. Here are the hymns chosen three times or more:

The list contains many of our favourites, as would be expected. The most frequently chosen—I the Lord of Sea and Sky— was written by the American composer Dan Schutte in 1981. Its lyrics are inspired by the Bible verses Isaiah 6:8 and 1 Samuel 3. The chorus speaks of his dedication stating, "I will go, Lord, if you lead me" emphasizing the motives of humility and a willingness to act in accordance with the Lord's will. Which hymn will be chosen most often in 2019? Watch this space...

Circuit Service 30th June Orpington Methodist Church hosted a service on 30th June to which all the other churches in the circuit were invited. The invitation was taken up with great enthusiasm as the chapel was full of people. The circuit leadership team of Duncan, Terry and Maureen ran the service, speaking about the hierarchy that exists within the Methodist Church from individual members upwards. We sang the hymns ‘What Shall Our Greeting Be’, God’s Spirit is in My Heart’, ‘Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah’ and ‘I the Lord of Sea and Sky’. As part of the service, Maggie Ayres achievement of becoming a local preacher was recognised and celebrated. In a moving act, the other local preachers stood up and asked Maggie the question—’ Are you worthy?’, to which Maggie replied ‘Yes I am’. Maggie was presented with a book she had chosen —‘The NIV: Exhaustive Bible Concordance’ (see picture). It was huge, she will be exhausted just carrying it! But it will no doubt serve her well as she continues to serve God through her preaching. Well done Mags, we are proud of you.

Thank you to Orpington Methodist Church for your hospitality and warm welcome. Well done to our Circuit leadership team—we hope to enjoy another such service together in the future.

All are welcome to make use of the Prayer Tree situated in the welcome area. Add the name of a person or

situation that you would like prayed for to the tree using the ‘leaves’ provided.

Your prayers will be offered to God during our services. Take away a

message of comfort in return.

The Queen’s Men At the July parade service, Joe Terrett and Alex Tomlinson were presented with their Queen’s Badges—the highest award that can be gained in the Boys Brigade. The Queen's Badge offers the chance to engage with the local community, take on responsibility, set personal goals, build self-confidence and experience a sense of achievement. Joe and Alex were great friends during their time in the Brigades. They have grown up to be fine young men and we at Bromley Common Methodist Church are very proud of you both. Well done! Joe and Alex are pictured below with their badge and certificate, plus a photo from their Brigades days clearly having great fun together!

I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.

BCMC Supports Bromley Foodbank Thank you to everyone who has donated items for the Bromley Foodbank using the box in the welcome area. The Foodbank issued the following email message recently to all its supporters:

The needs for Foodbank are fundamentally the same, but the

main focus of this weeks message, as we come to the end of

the School Meals Replacement Packs, is a big big thank you

to all our regular donors for providing so fully and so

generously over these last five weeks especially. We have

given out over 5000 kgs of food just in the school meals

category alone, let alone the weekly deliveries to our

Centres.

We have a much reduced stock, as you can imagine, but we

have managed to provide all the packs that the Centres have

asked for. Something we certainly could not have done

without our wonderful, regular supporters.

When the data has been fully processed, I will be able to

provide fuller information of exact weights and number of

children fed during that time.

But BIG thank you all round!!'

A reminder of the latest list of items in short supply:

Squash

Vegetables (especially tinned

carrots)

Cooking sauce

Custard

Rice pudding

Shampoo

Washing detergent

There will be an opportunity to donate items for Bromley Foodbank at our Harvest Celebration service on Sunday 6th October.

Make me a tree, Lord, Sturdy, Deep rooted, Useful, Support to those in need, Shelter to those who are weary, Fruit for those who hunger. Make me a tree, Lord, Sturdy, Deep rooted, Useful.

Hazel Garner Our dear friend Hazel Garner died on 6th June 2019. On the 4th July a funeral service was held at Beckenham Crematorium followed by a Thanksgiving service at Bromley Common Methodist Church. Hazel was born at Buckland Brewer North Devon on 18th March 1934. She had one brother, Ray, who died in 1981. Her father was a steward at the local Methodist church. Hazel was five years old when the war started during which she witnessed Exeter in flames. Her family looked after 2 evacuees during wartime. Hazel attended the local primary school and then moved up to Barnstaple Grammar for her secondary education. She left

Devon when she was 21 years old. Hazel worked as a Civil Servant at Ministry of Supply between 1951-1958—it was there she met Ken. Hazel gave up work when she and Ken married. They lived in Forest Hill for 2 years but then moved to Doves Close in Bromley in 1960. Ken and Hazel had three sons together— Barry, Leigh and Paul. Hazel worked for 20 years between 1979 and 1999 as a secretary for Bournes removals, who

were just round the corner from her home. Ken passed away in 2008 but they had shared a good retirement together.

Hazel was an excellent cook—her roast potatoes were stuff of legend. The family enjoyed fruit picking and delicious jams would result. Hazel was a very keen cricket fan, in fact she was knowledgeable on many sports. She was sensible, kind and gentle- excellent qualities for her role as a pastoral leader at the church. She was interested in many causes and enjoyed and maintained her friendships, some as far back as from her childhood.

During the Thanksgiving service, the hymn ‘Make me a channel of your peace’ was sung—a favourite of Hazel’s.

Some of the flowers from the Thanksgiving service are shown, right.

GOD PROVIDES

You may remember that in the last issue of Common Ground I asked that, if you were going on holiday, you might bring back a tea towel, badly needed to replace tatty ones in the kitchen. Sue, from the Philharmonic Choir, (meets in our church

Thursday pm) and who goes to St. Augustine's, picked up a copy of the newsletter. Her neighbour (who went to St. Swithin's) had recently died and her relatives invited Sue to take anything that might be useful before the house was cleared. Sue found 8 new linen teatowels which she passed on to us. You see, even tea towels are not beneath God's willingness to provide. Joan

The Sue Kettle Flame In memory of Sue it was agreed that the stewards

and Minister would nominate somebody in the

church each year to receive the flame. It is

awarded for Help, encouragement, and practical

support for our church family.

The award this year went to Diane Rapley.

She does and continues to do the following: acts

as chauffeur, leads the Thursday Group, writes a

welcome letter to the preacher here each week, is

half of the church secretary duo, organises Action

for Children collecting boxes and much more.

Mike Killpack, Steward

Congratulations, Diane, and many thanks for all you do for our church.

I just wanted to say thank you to all those people that have helped in the process of putting editions of Common Ground together. I appreciate receiving your articles, poems, readings, news to share, suggestions and also your financial contributions towards the cost of printed copies. This is OUR magazine and so please do continue contributing in future. The submission deadline for the Winter edition will need to be a little earlier than usual, as it will be a busy time of year. So please email/give anything to be included to the usual email address cgeditor@bcmc.org.uk by 16th November at the very latest. Thank you, Andrew.

Joan Ungemuth has been running our House Fellowship for thirty-five years, once every month (except the month of August). Joan feels now that she wishes to step down from leading us. Each meeting has been carefully planned and researched and we have found them so valuable and

informative. We will really miss this opportunity to chat together. It has been a blessing to be part of this group and a great support in our individual Christian journeys. Each meeting began and ended with a prayer as we explored a topic from the Bible or current affairs. Sometimes homework was set for us to prepare for the next time. Michael has also been great supporting this group and helped with the serving of refreshments. Joan is a talented cake baker. But we promise you Joan, we did not just come for the scones!

Thank you. Alan, Dennis, Lynn, Joan W, Margaret and Monica

Messy Church—Lost and Found’ 22nd July A Messy Church session was held on 22nd July around the theme ‘Lost and Found’. Maureen did a great job of organising us as usual. The children (and adults!) enjoyed various crafting activities such as coin rubbing, peg sheep, coin and bead

jewellery, and painting money boxes (see picture, right). John mystified the children with his cup and ball game. We moved into the chapel and the children set about trying to find 12 coins and 12 sheep that John had hidden throughout the church. It is not clear if all items were recovered such was the sophistication of John’s hiding methods and might still be there to this day.. But the children certainly recovered most, if not all, of them. The story of the Lost Son was told to the children and we sang a song using a video to help us—’The Lord is my shepherd, I’ll walk with you always’. We also sang ‘He’s got the whole world in his hand’. All this activity was enough to build up quite an appetite in the children as they tucked into their early lunch of sandwiches, crisps and biscuits served courtesy of the kitchen team. All in all, it was another good Messy Church session and the children went away happy and hopefully knowing a little more about the joy of finding lost things. Thanks to everyone that came to help run the session, including Maureen’s daughter Deborah. Please check the church website bcmc.org.uk, or listen/look out for notices for news on future Messy Church sessions!
