From the Rector
The first Sunday of March also happens to bethe first Sunday in Lent. Lent begins on AshWednesday and ends at Easter. Lent may orig-
inally have followed Epiphany, just as Jesus’sojourn in the wilderness followed immediately onhis baptism, but soon became firmly attached toEaster, as the principal occasion for baptism andfor reconciliation of those who had been excludedfrom the church’s fellowship for apostasy or seri-ous faults. This history explains the characteristicnotes of Lent - self-examination, penitence, self-denial, study, and preparation for Easter, to whichalmsgiving has traditionally been added.
Ashes are an ancient sign of penitence; from theMiddle Ages, it became the custom to begin Lent bybeing marked in ash with the sign of the cross. Thecalculation of the 40 days has varied considerablyin Christian history. It is now usual in the West tocount them continuously to the end of Holy Week(not including Sundays), so beginning Lent on thesixth Wednesday before Easter, Ash Wednesday.
The Fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare, orRefreshment Sunday) was allowed as a day of relieffrom the rigours of Lent; these breaks from auster-ity are the background to the modern observanceof Mothering Sunday on the Fourth Sunday of Lent.
As Holy Week approaches, the atmosphere of theseason darkens; the readings begin to anticipatethe story of Christ’s suffering and death, and thereading of the Passion narrative gave to the FifthSunday its name of Passion Sunday.
There are many devotional exercises which may beused in Lent. The stations of the Cross, made pop-ular in the West by the Franciscans after they weregranted custody of the Christian sites in the HolyLand, are the best known.
Within our own diocese, Bishop Michael Hooperhas announced that he will be retiring in May. Wehave much to thank the bishop for in this parish -he has been a strong supporter of Tanga in Touchand has confirmed many young people in theparish, including Daniel and Jacob. The Bishop hasalso done a lot of work behind the scenes so we willbe sad to see him go but, we wish him well in hisretirement.
We also say farewell to Revd Chris Fletcher whoretires from the Bredenbury group of parishes thismonth. Chris has done a lot of work in our deaneryand will be missed by his people. We pray that theywill not have to wait to long for their new priest.
At our Annual General Meeting in April, the PCCwill publish a Parish Plan for the next five years.The plan looks at all aspects of the Church’s lifeand includes ideas for mission and ministry, aswell as plans to develop our church buildings andto improve our Christian giving. We hope that thePlan will be of interest too to those who don’t go tochurch. For more information contact the PCCSecretary or the Rector.

Parish NewsTHANKS FROM TANGA
We made it, folks! We achievedour target of £800 for ourChristmas Appeal to help theAIDS orphans in our link parishin Tanzania. I was able to sendthis money off in earlyDecember, so they should havereceived it before Christmas.
There are now 190 orphans ofvarying ages in Mapinduzi – justone parish! This money will makeall the difference. Many of themare cared for by poor grandpar-ents who have hardly enoughincome to feed themselves. Thiswill mean school uniform, so thatthey can go to school, and examfees so that they can move on tothe next stage of their lives. Forthe infants it will mean morenourishing food than the usualmaize porage. The impact of ourAppeal, which we have held everyyear since 2004, is growing yearby year.
This year a lot of the moneycame from private donations. Tothe donors, we are extremelygrateful. Some came from thecollection box which was inWhitbourne Village Shop for sixweeks. Some came fromBredenbury W.I., HerefordRotarians and members of theBromyard Local History Society.To all of you, I would like to saya sincere ‘thank you’ on behalf ofthe orphans.

Sponsorship with a smileSeeking sponsorship by raisingsmiles at the next WADS pro-duction will be Joe Bond, whoaims to raise £5,000 for CancerResearch UK by taking part in theLondon Marathon on April 26th.
Laughter Lines: A Miscellany ofComedy and Farce, which will beperformed on March at theVillage Hall, at 7.30pm, is a spe-cial performance of a miscellanyof comic skits. All proceeds fromthe performance will go to spon-sor Joe, who is running themarathon for his mum Jane.
Jane, whom many know from her
involvement with WADS, as wellas her work at Knightwick sur-gery, is currently having treat-ment for cancer.
Joe says: “The reason to chooseCancer Research as my charityseemed fitting as there is very lit-tle known about cancer startingin the appendix and I would liketo think that money raised maygo to helping research in thisarea, perhaps finding a moreeffective treatment so that oth-ers may be much more fortunatethan my Mum.”
Jane has always loved being
involved with WADS productionsand will be helping out asprompt for the Panto ‘Ali Babaand the Mystic Cave’ andLaughter Lines. We can think ofno better way to raise money forJoe’s sponsorship than putting asmile on the faces of our audi-ence. We hope you will come tothe production and/or sponsorJoe online.

A snapshot from Holland - farming with an special purpose
In my last piece I wrote a bitabout ‘care farming’. I have justreturned from a two day ‘carefarm’ study tour in theNetherlands. They are 10 yearsahead of us, with 1,000 carefarms established, providingcare, recuperation and trainingfor clients of all sorts. We visitedfour very different projectsaccompanied by Ina Kattenburg,who acted as our guide andtranslator. Ina has been involvedin care farming in Holland as anadvisor for many years; I met herwhen she spoke at one of thefirst conferences on the subjectin this country four years ago,and had the idea then after hear-ing her presentation that a studytour would be really useful. Isn’tit great when sometimes ideascome to fruition?
The projects ranged from a dairyfarmer milking 60 beautiful redHolstein cows. It transpired thatone of the autistic women heworks with just loved brushingcows! It showed. He lived andworked on his own until threeyears ago when, with his neigh-bour who has goats and ponies,he started working with autisticteenagers. It all seems to beworking well.
The other projects included ayoung couple working with 26psychiatric patients in their plantnursery under two acres of glass,and a menagerie of farm and zooanimals. And a man in his earlysixties who had spent a lifetimegrowing everything from toma-toes and cucumbers to roses andbonsai trees in his five acres ofglass house, and now wanted togive something back to society.He had started working with asy-lum seekers with mental illness-es in a new project growingorganic vegetables and creating afarm shop and tea room in thefront part of the greenhouse.
It was a very full couple of days. The group did not know each
other particularly well before-hand. We were made up of threefarmers, one smallholder, twoRural Business consultants andour West Midlands Care Farmingconsultant. We all gained differ-ent things from the trip but as wesat around the kitchen tables lis-tening to the stories and experi-ences of the care farmers them-selves, we certainly got a sense oftheir deep commitment and careof their charges, whether thatwas driven by a belief in God’smessage or a strong social con-science, and we heard about theups and downs –frustrations andrewards. It was a real inspirationand a pat on the back for human-ity.

Policing news With the new year now upon us,we have a few events for you tobe aware of and hopefully attend.The first is the PACT meetingwhich is to be held at The FalconMews at 7pm on 12th Feb 2009.
The PACT process allows you tovoice any concerns that affectyour community and is an oppor-tunity to meet the local policingteams face to face.
Other news includes the investi-gation and subsequent arrest of aman for a series of burglaryoffences committed throughout2008. This individual travelledgreat distances to commitoffences and has been dealt withfor 17 offences of burglary of
dwellings in Herefordshire and isnow serving a 4-year prison sen-tence. I hope this sends out theright message to all would-becriminals and deters others fromfollowing this path.
In recent weeks, police across theWest Midlands region have seenan increase in distraction burgla-ries when callers posing as waterboard staff, TV engineers and thelike, charm their way into thehouses of the vulnerable and dis-tract them, whilst their accom-plices slip into the propertyunseen and remove cash andvaluables. The main caller thenmakes his excuses and leaves.
Whilst the numbers of these bur-
glaries are low, common to manyof them is the sighting of a silverMk 5 Volkswagen Golf car. Policebelieve the same car is beingused but with different numberplates on it each time.
If you see a silver VW Golf withtwo or more men in it, parkednear the house of someonewhom is elderly or vulnerable orif you see such a car in other sus-picious circumstances, you areurged to contact the police on0300 333 3000 as soon as possi-ble or ring 999 in an emergency.

Thanks from St Richard’s HospiceWe were delighted to receive themost wonderful donation of£307.41 that was raised from theMistletoe and Wine Carol Concertat Whitbourne Village Hall justbefore Christmas. This is greatlyappreciated and I can assure youwill be used wisely in providingthe best possible specialist pal-liative care for our patients andtheir families.
Please would you pass on ourmost sincere thanks to everyonewho contributed to making theevening such a success and inparticular to Mr Martin Wall andthe choir for their hard work.
I would like to reiterate that it isonly through the generosity ofpeople like you and the othersinvolved in the evening who holdsuch lovely events for the hos-
pice and with the input of ourother donors and volunteers thatwe can continue to provide careand support for our community.
2009 is our silver anniversaryand we are so glad that we havebeen able to answer the increas-ing demand for our care. We nowhelp 1,800 patients and theirfamilies each year through allour services, including our nurs-es in the community and ourfamily support team. Each monthwe receive at least 70 new refer-rals to our Clinical NurseSpecialists who support patientsin their own homes. Our 15-bedIn-patient Unit runs 24-hours aday, all year round, offering spe-cialist palliative care with a ratioof nurses to patients of 2:1. TheUnit is frequently at full capacity.
As you can imagine, all these spe-cialist services are very costly toprovide. We need to find 70% ofthe £4.23m it costs to provideour services this year, so we arevery appreciative of your dona-tion.

Letter from the Bishop of LudlowCarpe diem – Seize the moment –Kairos – a moment of time.
There are opportunities whichmay be taken or missed. Theyusually come quickly and wehave the discernment to acceptthem and act or we miss the timeand it is gone.
It was such a Kairos momentwhen Mary and Joseph took thebaby Jesus into the temple andSimeon and Anna were there,who greeted them and recog-nised in that moment the Christchild. It was this occasion whichgave us the wonderful words ofthe Nunc Dimittis, when Simeontook the baby Jesus in his armsand said “Lord now let your ser-vant go in peace: your word hasbeen fulfilled. My own eyes haveseen the salvation: which youhave prepared in the sight ofevery people; a light to reveal youto the nations: and the glory ofyour people Israel.” There wasalso the prophecy that Jesuswould be rejected and that asword would pierce Mary’s soul
too. Simeon and Anna recognisedJesus in that moment and seizedit. They were able to do sobecause of a lifetime of worship,prayer and waiting. It was thisthat gave them the gift of dis-cernment when Mary and Josephcame into the temple with Jesus.
This occasion has become whatwe know as Candlemas, when thecelebration of Jesus being bornof Mary comes to an end and webegin to look forward to Lent,Holy Week and Easter. This isbrought out powerfully for us inthe liturgy of the day, when welight candles celebrating Christ’sbirth as we look back over thelast forty days, and then blowingthem out, a poignant momentwhich points us to Jesus’ pas-sion, death and resurrection. It islike a hinge moment in theChurch’s year as we look backand look forward.
Such a time has also come to mepersonally because I haveannounced my intention toresign as Bishop and Archdeacon
of Ludlow. The 31st May will bemy last Sunday and I shall not beable to accept any invitationsafter that date. I am most fortu-nate in being able to look backover 44 years of life as a Deacon,Priest and Bishop in this Dioceseand now look forward to thefuture. I am most grateful to allthe people who have given me somuch in this Diocese with whomI have worked over many years.However it is a good moment toleave as I am so involved withyou all in the 2015 Consultationwhich enables us to look forwardto a vibrant, thriving church car-rying on God’s mission in a fastchanging world.
Please join with me in DagHammarskjold’s prayer, which Ihave said daily for many years.
“Father, for all that has beenthanks, to all that shall be, yes.”
Bishop Michael HooperBishop of Ludlow

Time to relax
I love to sit in my armchairMy feet resting on a stool
And gaze out through the windowAt the bird bath and the pool
The fish are swimming up and downEnjoying the morning sun
And the birds are having a lovely timeAs they get their bathing done
What more could you ask for to relax your mindThe silence is rewarding
I am lost in time, this hour is mineI hope no-one comes calling!
