Dear Friends,

Well, here we are, one month into the

New Year, and what a New Year it has

been so far; joy and tragedy,

celebration and sadness, optimism and

pessimism. Sometimes when we seem

to be living on an uncontrollable Roller

Coaster we can feel as though we don’t

know whether we are proverbially

coming or going. It is as though what

we thought was stable and secure has

been swept along by forces that we

cannot manage or direct.

Since the beginning of the year we have

been confronted with disasters of one

kind or another (a crashed AirAsia

plane with many lives lost; a terrorist

atrocity in Paris with unbelievable

consequences; the on-going Ebola

disease outbreak in West Africa; storms

and severe weather conditions

affecting the U.K.) resulting in so much

confusion, anger and despair. There

have been occasions of celebration

(The Pope’s visit to Sri Lanka; stranded

cavers rescued from a pothole in North

Yorkshire; appointment of the first

female bishop in the Church of

England) that have lifted our hearts and

provided us with opportunities for

much happiness. Now to top it all we

have a General Election in May, which

will keep us all on our toes for the next

few weeks, as politicians from every

conceivable party, will regale us with

all the fantastic promises imaginable,

and that only they can fulfil.

Which brings me to remember God’s

grace – God’s grace means that as

awful as things can get He has been

there before us, He is there with us,

and He will be there long after we

have gone. His grace gives us the

means by which we can continue to be

who we are, despite or in spite of what

the world seems to throw at us.

It is only a couple of weeks since we

celebrated the birth of Our Lord – no

doubt the pine-needles are still re-

surfacing across the floor, and there’s

that odd bauble which was missed

when the decorations were taken

down and has still to find its way into

the ‘Christmas Decorations Box’. But it

is hoped that the real meaning and

purpose of Christmas has not

disappeared with those decorations,

or evaporated with festive fare and

parties.

I would like to bring back to our

attention the way in which Mary

THOUGHTS FROMTHOUGHTS FROMTHOUGHTS FROMTHOUGHTS FROM THE RECTORYTHE RECTORYTHE RECTORYTHE RECTORY

3

Paul

4

responded to being made the

instrument of God’s purpose of

becoming human. Mary celebrated the

fact that God could and can be trusted,

even when human events seem(ed) so

dreadful. This was because God would

actually reverse human roles. The

proud would be scattered, the

powerful would be taken down a peg

or two, and the lowly would be lifted

up. This is not good news to those who

speak words of hate and create

division. However, it is good news for

those who feel weak and powerless to

affirm the importance and value of all

humankind, Arab, Jew and Gentile.

The birth of Jesus affirms this essential

human dignity. All people are made in

the very image of God and God is

present in our image. Poor people

struggling with few choices, children

growing up in drug-filled

environments, single parents

struggling to get by, prisoners,

refugees, the frail elderly – are all

human beings with dignity. All people

are blessed in the sight of God.

CHRISTMAS AT ST JOHN'S, HUNSINGORE

James Bell, Bishop for the Episcopal Area

of Ripon, was the guest preacher at the

Family Communion Service and Carols on

19 December and the congregation had

the opportunity to meet him informally

when we all enjoyed coffee and mince

pies afterwards. The Family Communion

Service on Christmas Day saw us without

an organist so Paul Spurgeon was not

only celebrant and preacher but operator

of recorded music too! Is there a budding

organist out there or someone who

knows how to manage recorded music

who could help out on those rare

occasions when Ian can't be with us?

FUTURE EVENTS

On Friday, 13 February, a Valentine

Dance will be held in Hunsingore village

hall. Included in the £20 ticket is a 3-

course dinner - bring your own drinks -

and dancing to the live band "Now and

Then", back by popular demand.

On Friday, 27 March, the Library Theatre

Company returns to the village hall, this

time to perform "My brilliant Divorce",

billed as a poignant yet funny play that

will touch the hearts of anyone who has

been loved! A £15 ticket includes a hot

supper - bring you own drinks - served at

7pm followed by the play at 7.45pm.

Please let Nigel (358516) or Paul

(358640) know if you plan to attend

either of these events. It is important

that the ladies who do the catering know

the numbers well in advance.

Last year the village hall was double

glazed and fixed screens were put up to

eliminate draughts. Now another heater

has been added so we can all be warm

and cosy - no need for those thermals!.

HUNSINGORE TO EXPAND?

The news that a property developer is to

seek planning permission to build 26

houses on the site where Goughs of

Hunsingore used to stand has been met

with mixed reactions. At the time of

going to press the public exhibition at

which plans for the proposed

development would be on display had

not taken place but no doubt but all will

be revealed in the fullness of time!

COWTHORPE CAROL SERVICE –

DECEMBER 2014

A congregation of 97 filled the Church of

St Michael & All Angels on Friday evening

December 19th 2014 for the annual

Cowthorpe candle-lit Service of Five

Lessons & Carols organised by Val &

7

Anthony Hackforth, led by the Rev. Paul

Spurgeon with Robert Ward-Campbell

on the harmonium and additional music

from the Cowthorpe Hand-Bell Ringers

before and during the service.

In his closing remarks the Rector

thanked everyone who shared in the

preparations and everyone who

attended the service.

Amanda and Christine Gee, Mona

Horstead, Jacqui Marsden, Hilda Perrett

and Val Hackforth decorated the church

with festive greenery. Christine, Mick

and Amanda Gee organised and

decorated a Christmas Prayer Tree.

Prayers from the tree will be blessed by

the Rector at a forthcoming service in

Hunsingore Church. Christine and Mick

Gee were also responsible for the

pathway lanterns and the Advent candle

as well as the candles on the walls and

in the chancel. David Sedgwick took

charge of the lighting of the gateway

and the church path. Arnold Warneken

and Mick Gee kindly loaned fire

extinguishers whilst Dave Livesey, Jim

Maclachlan and Susan Murphy agreed

to be Fire Marshalls in the event of an

emergency.

Jules Thompson was responsible for the

distribution of the service sheets; Jacqui

and Roger Marsden for the distribution

and lighting of the hand-held candles.

Young children – Tyler Buckby, Chloe

Wright and Lydia Murphy – read the first

three lessons. Paul Jewitt read the fourth

and the Rector concluded the readings

with the Christmas Gospel.

Mark Kettlewell and Derek Gaunt took the

collection which amounted to £216.32

and, as in previous years, this is shared

equally between Hunsingore Church and

The Churches Conservation Trust. All

members of the congregation are thanked

for their generosity.

After the service, Nicki and Steve

Cartledge kindly invited the whole

congregation to Ivyholme Cottage for

refreshments and mulled wine, which was

much appreciated by the many who

attended.

8

Santa came for breakfast with the

younger children during December and

the following day he appeared at the

School Christmas Fair.

We had a fairly serious heating problem

in Church – so repairs ate up a lot of our

newly raised funds.

The refurbishment of the Village Hall

continues and the Library is now

rehoused in its new room.

LOOKING FORWARD TO 2015

We hope to arrange a theatre evening

soon but details have yet to be finalised.

The village Art Group which meets once a

month on the second Monday is

attempting to expand to include crafts.

The meeting in February is to

concentrate on collage on a seascape

theme – but everyone is welcome to

work on any theme of their choice. This is

a friendly and supportive group which

would welcome any new members. Next

meeting is on Monday 9th

February.

KIRK HAMMERTON GARDENING CLUB

LENT GROUP 2015

We shall be meeting during Lent to make our personal and spiritual preparations for the celebration of Easter.

The theme will be “Journeying through the Middle East in Thought and Prayer”, we shall focus on one country

of the Middle East during each session.

Our meetings will take place on Monday afternoons in The Rectory at 2.30 pm on the following dates:

23rd February - Syria 2nd March - Israel

9th March - Lebanon 16th March - Egypt

23rd March - Palestine

Do join us for as much of the journey as you able to.

We started the New Year with a very

entertaining, yet instructive evening

with Jenny Hotson talking about &

demonstrating how to decorate

cupcakes. We clung to her every word &

movement as there is a cupcake

category in our group show in

September. We can all now tell our

fairy cakes, muffins & cupcakes apart &

are inspired to try out some of the new

techniques we have learned. Even

better, the demonstration pieces were

raffled off at the end of the evening &

almost every member went home with

at least one beautifully decorated cake

– all our New Year resolutions ruined in

one go!

We were also pleased to welcome 3

new members – the icing on the cake!

We have all had a bright start back to 2015

and are raring to go for the spring term.

Here are some extracts from our

curriculum letters (all found on our website

at:

www.kirkhammerton.n-yorks.sch.uk)

Class 1 - update from Mrs Roberts and Mrs

Greer:

As always in the Early Years, we plan our

work around the children's interests, so for

the first couple of weeks of term our topic

was Space (we made edible moon rock and

learned about light and dark)… now it has

moved onto a new topic: dragons! The

children have so many questions such as

‘Can we make a large dragon with recycled

materials?’, ‘Why does Wales have a

dragon on its flag?’ and ‘Can we write

stories and put on a puppet show for

dragons?’

Class 2 - update from Miss Lee:

Our topic this term is ‘Our World’. The

children are going to explore and learn

about the world we live in, starting with

our local area, before ‘travelling’ further

afield.

To launch this topic we had a very special

delivery at the end of last term… ‘Flat

Stanley’. Flat Stanley is the story of a boy

who is painlessly squashed by a pinboard

and becomes so thin that his parents are

able to post him around the world. Our

very own Flat Stanley arrived last year and

the children have been busy making their

own ‘Stanleys’ to post away. We hope that

our Flat Stanley’s will travel around the

world and send back letters, enabling us to

have a ‘hands on’ and personal way of

exploring the world. Each child will have

their own Flat Stanley, however there are a

number of ‘spare’ ones so if you have any

contacts that may be happy to be involved

please speak to Miss Lee, furthermore if

you have any travelling experiences or

artefacts you would be able to share please

also get in touch.

Photograph: Kirk Hammerton Primary School website

Class 3 - update from Mr Cooper

For our ‘Where do we live?’ topic we will

look deeply into questions raised by pupils

about their local, national and international

identity. What makes a city a city? Are we

British or English? Where does one river

start and another begin? Why did

Scotland want to leave the UK? What is

the European Union?

We will start by looking at our houses and

homes and our nearest villages, towns and

cities before ‘zooming out’ to our place in

the wider world. The recent Scottish

referendum was followed closely by Class 3

pupils - should Yorkshire become its own

country too? We will also look at football

around the world and whether or not

location and money leads to successful

team performances.

After half term we will take a similar

outward-looking path (moving from the

local to the international) but in terms of

physical geography (rivers, lakes, hills,

mountains etc.)

Lent, before Easter, is like Advent

before Christmas, a time of

preparation. Lent is when we

remember that Jesus prepared himself

for starting his ministry by going away

by himself for 40 days of fasting and

prayer. You can read about it in your

Bible: Matthew, chapter 4, versus 1-

11; Mark, chapter 1, versus 12-13 and

Luke, chapter 4, versus 1-13.

Jesus went into the wilderness, a quiet

lonely place away from people where

he could think things out. He knew

that his work would be hard, that

many people would not listen to him,

or if they listened, they would not

believe him. During these 40 days

Jesus made his choice: to work in

God’s way however hard that might

be.

Lent 2015 starts on Wednesday,

February 18th and ends on Thursday,

April 2nd 2015. Have you thought

about how YOU are going to prepare

yourself to follow Jesus this Lent?

For the next edition we would love

to include a Easter themed picture

or photograph from one of our

young readers. Entries to be sent to

the editor and to be received by 7th

March:
