INTERVIEW WITH THE RECTOR
It was a great pleasure to be invited to ‘The Rectory’ to meet with the Revd
David Burrell and his wife Sue. They kindly managed to fit me in over their
lunchtime. We spent a very interesting couple of hours talking through a
wide variety of topics.
Both are from East Anglia, David from Norfolk and Sue from Suffolk. They
have known each other for many years, Sue’s husband was a close friend of
David. Sad events brought them closer together, Sue lost her husband to
cancer and David’s wife left the family to live alone and pursue a life looking
after animals. Between them they have 3 grown up children, Daniel, Adam
and Gemma and 2 chocolate brown Labradors.
David’s first career was as a civil engineer, more precisely a ‘Geo technician’.
Towards the middle of the 80s a Sarcoma developed on his face this turned
out to be a life changing event. He was admitted to the Royal Marsden
where 9 operations were performed over 9 weeks. During this traumatic
time he found that each night he would have a reoccurring dream of Jesus
holding him close. He found this deeply reassuring and led him to explore a
vocation within the church.
Having studied at Salisbury Theological College he returned to Bury St
Edmunds to be ordained in 1988. He spent his first 3 years as the Curate at
Ixworth, followed by 6 years at Haughly. David joined the Lark valley
Benefice and worked there for the next 18 years.
It would have been easy to stay there longer but pastures new beckoned
and drew him to this Benefice with 8 parishes and over 3000 people to
minister. They have been here in the Benefice for 3 years and will stay here
for another 7 years until retirement.
He is very involved with all schools in the Benefice and visits them regularly,
leading children in worship and learning about the church and its place in the
community. As a school governor he is on several committees including the
Ethos committee at Wilby school.
Whilst chatting I wondered if there was a typical day, very quickly came the
response,’ No one day is like the next!’. With 8 parishes there are 32
meetings a year of the PCC to attend, 52+ sermons and 6 magazine articles
to write over a year, continual open house, visits to the sick at home, in
hospital or care homes. Evenings spent organising weddings, funerals,
blessings, christenings and other services. Add in all the regular meetings
amongst various groups within the church and other denominations it makes
for a busy time. Do they ever get time to themselves, not often
I asked him what he would like to achieve in his time here. With some
thought he remarked that each parish was as distinct from the other with
differing strengths and needs. With this in mind he hoped to strengthen the
Benefice and leave each parish thriving. He believes his mission is to spread
and explain the word of a loving and giving God. He himself says he is not
here to judge anyone but to show people they are cared for and loved.
‘The church is a home and should be embraced as such. You should feel as if
you are ‘coming home’ when you enter a church’. DB
‘You don’t need to be a believer in God to attend church, for many it can be
the starting point, everyone is welcome’. DB
....................
Tea at The Rectory.
Every 1st Friday of the month.
Everybody is welcome at The Rectory on Friday 1st January from
3:00pm—4:30pm, for tea and to chat with the Rector.

LETTER FROM THE RECTOR
At this end of year I tend to look back and think of all those whom I have
met or come into contact with over the past year. I often think of those who
give their time in the service of the church. I give thanks to God for all that
you do and I would like to say it is very much appreciated. Without you there
would be no life in the church and it would be a very sad lonely place.
You bring the church to life, you make it a clean welcoming place, you
brighten even the darkest corners with flowers. You bring music and enrich
our liturgy. Our wardens make sure the church is safe and maintained. Sides
people welcome people to our services and the coffee makers refresh our
visitors before they leave us. To name but a few.
In the course of your duties you could encounter a visitor who may be
dealing with fears, anxieties and pain. Churches can be seen as safe places
to come to for those of faith and no faith. If, for example, you were in church
arranging flowers, cleaning or getting ready for coffee, visitors often speak
to you. If they are in distress they may disclose some kind of neglect or
abuse that they have suffered in the past or are continuing to suffer. If that
happened would you know how to respond?
The Church of England nationally is aware of all that is being revealed in the
media about abuse of children and vulnerable adults. Also because of an
independent report that is being compiled, and will be out next March, it is
taking steps to make the church a safer place for everyone.
So how can you become part of making the church safer and more aware?
There is a new training course called ‘C0’ that is designed to get everyone to
a point where they are able to deal with disclosure and know where to refer
them. It can be done online and takes about an hour. The Church of England
believes that the more people who have an awareness of what to do if they
find themselves in a position of listening to someone revealing something
that is happening or has happened to them, will make our church and
communities safer for everyone.
Some of you will be asked to take this course personally but I would urge
anybody, however fleeting your involvement with the church may be, to take
it. All you have to do is go to the web site of The Diocese of St Edmundsbury
and Ipswich, once on the homepage look for the link that says
‘Safeguarding’. Hover the curser over Safeguarding and the dropdown box
will have several options, you need to take Safeguarding training. This will
take you to a screen that itemises all the training and if you scroll past this
you will come to the place where you can make your choice. Click on ‘C0’
and follow the instructions, be prepared with your email address and be
ready to make up or supply a username.
Once you have finished the course you will be able to print out a certificate.
You will also be emailed a document that you should forward on to Veirginia
Skoyles our administrator and she will keep a record of who has completed
the course. [email protected].
Thank you to everybody who takes part in the important endeavour and for
being an active part of our church family in our villages.

CHURCH NEWS
St Lawrence’s, Brundish
Service of Music and Readings for Advent. Sunday 3rd December
6:30pm Our church will be bathed in candlelight to usher in this short church season
of anticipation. Some have declared this to be their favourite service of the
year. You can understand why within the mellow atmosphere of our
delightful old place of worship as it is filled with wonderful music created by
the congregation and The Chantry Singers. Along with some well known
congregational hymns there will be choral offerings composed by
Rachmaninov, Britten and Raison. Please do come and join us. You will not
be disappointed.
Lessons and Carols for the Eve of Christmas. Sunday 24th December
6:30pm
It is fair to say that the carol service is now a major event in the life of our
village and it brings to our beautiful Place of Worship not only Brundish
people but folk from far and wide. As families of the village gather to
celebrate, your church will be waiting to welcome you through its doors as it
has for a thousand years. It is, to so many, the only place to be on
Christmas Eve. The Chantry Singers will be there, directed by Michael
Spencer. Please do make a point of joining what is always a packed church.
N. B. You are advised to get there a bit earlier to ensure a parking place. As
always the church will be floodlit and the access will be safer on the
churchyard path which has recently been equipped with increased lighting.
Christmas Midnight Mass. Sunday 24th December 11:30pm
To mark the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, people from places far
around unite on this most holy of nights. Whether you are confirmed or not,
you are warmly invited to join us.

St Ethelbert’s, Tannington
Carol Service. Wednesday 20th December 6:30pm.
It has been some years since Tannington has had a carol service so this year
is quite a special occasion for this simple gem of a rural church. The bells will
ring out over the surrounding countryside to call the people of this tiny
community to its place of worship to celebrate this most wonderful time of
the year. All those of Brundish are strongly encouraged to join those of
Tannington to swell the congregation for what promises to be a memorable
occasion.
St Mary’s, Wilby
Carols by Candlelight Service. Sunday 17th December 6:30pm
We look forward to welcoming you all to this popular service. Carols by
Candlelight, followed with mulled wine and mince pies.

PARISH COUNCIL NEWS
Wilby Parish Council
Wilby goes for Neighbourhood Plan
Following public consultation, the Parish Council has formally agreed to
proceed with the development of a Neighbourhood Plan for Wilby. Along
with the Local Plan prepared by the District Council, the Neighbourhood Plan
will help guide the future development and growth of the village, as
determined by the community. Once approved as a statutory document, it
must be taken into account by the Planning Authority (District Council) when
planning applications are being considered.
In developing the plan and going through the various stages involved, the
Parish Council will work closely with the community and in particular with
those residents who have expressed an interest in helping with the
preparation of the plan. The process is expected to take many months to
complete and the community will be regularly advised on progress. Public
meetings will be arranged as required.
Further information on the Neighbourhood Plan can be obtained from
Councillors Steve Lee (email: [email protected]) or Richard
Woolgrove (email: [email protected] ).
Next Meeting
The next regular meeting of the Parish Council will take place at 7:30 pm on
Wednesday 10th January 2018 in the Coronation Hall. Members of the
public are very welcome to attend.

Christmas Fair Thanks
I would like to extend my very grateful thanks to all the lovely people who
have donated items, provided their time, and in any other way helped to

do it without all the help in the run-up to the big day, and the people who
show up and give their time to run stalls etc. And finally, a big thank you to
all those of you who turned up and spent lots of money - a final total raised
will appear here in the next edition. My very best wishes - Sandra Apps

WILBY CEVC PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWS
Cross curricular learning-‘Going for Green’ In October the whole school travelled to Ringsfied Hall where they enjoyed a
whole variety of activities which focussed on learning about the environment IN
the environment. Our ‘Environment evening’ in October was a wonderful final
celebration of the music, art, dance and the spoken word derived from our
‘Going for green’ topic.
Music, Drama and the Arts Our newly formed Arts Award Club is well attended by enthusiastic children who
are working towards gaining certificates to celebrate their achievement. All of
our children from Pre-School to Year 6 have been taking part in a variety of
dance workshops. The sessions, which were led by the West End In Schools
Dance Company, were all focused on the environment and helped the children to
explore the environmental topic focus through the medium of dance. To
celebrate Inter-faith week 2017 pupils of all ages were challenged to produce the
art work for a school calendar focussing on theme of ‘Light, life and love’.
Calendars sold will raise money to support multi-faith learning opportunities for
Wilby pupils. Our Anti-Bullying week theme in November will be a celebration of
diversity both in our own school and across Britain.
Sporting success Following the appointment of our own Sports Lead –Mr Isaac Chapman-
participation in additional sport activities across the school has soared! All of our
before school, lunch-time and after school clubs are now offered free including:
Dodgeball, Football, High Fives Netball, Gymnastics and many more and the
extra training is paying off—our Girls Football Team won Bronze in the Inter-
schools tournament in October! Well done girls!

VILLAGE HALL NEWS
Wilby Coronation Hall
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!
Our thanks go to all of you who have continued to support us this year and a
big welcome, albeit belated, to our new residents who have already
contributed so positively to the village community. Our hall is going from
strength to strength and we sit now in a much more viable position and have
improved the hall both internally and externally. We always welcome new
people onto our committee to keep our ideas fresh and our vision achievable.
Glory to the new born ‘BINS’!
Our recycling banks for both glass and textiles are now finally on site, so be
sure to get rid of all your festive empties at the village hall along with any
unwanted ex Christmas jumpers. The money accrued will be added to the
car park maintenance fund which is now in place.

dong.

Autumn Supper Report
This years Autumn Supper to raise funds for St Mary’s Church, Wilby was
held at the Coronation Hall at the end of October. It was a lovely evening
with 60 people attending, including many new residents, which gave
everyone a good opportunity to meet up and socialise in what is very
pleasant surroundings with friendly bar staff. The ladies who cook decided to
ring the changes this year and an old family recipe was provided by Alex
Gwyn, which was originally her Greek Grandmother’s. Moussaka was made
following this recipe and served with a traditional Greek salad and French
bread. A vegetarian option completed the first course, followed by a large
selection of homemade desserts, coffee and mints.
The feedback has been very positive regarding the whole evening and just
over £900 was raised, along with £250 from the auction of the beautiful
watercolour painting of Wilby Church which had kindly been donated.
Thanks to all who came and supported the event, and to everyone who
helped in anyway, whether it was by donating a raffle prize, providing the
delicious food or helping get the hall ready, clearing up etc.
We hope to see everyone again at the next event.
