considers how the Holy Spirit can change our lives.
Pentecost
The celebration of Pentecost this month could be
described as a birthday party for the Church, as we
remember the gift of the Holy Spirit to the first disciples
(Acts 2:1-13). What are we celebrating?
Godâ€™s Promise:
The disciples obeyed Jesusâ€™ instructions as they gathered
in the Upper Room: â€˜Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for
the gift my Father promisedâ€™ (1:4). They met expectantly
in prayer for Godâ€™s promised gift. Just as we look forward
to birthday presents, how eager are we to receive more of
the Spirit in our lives?
Godâ€™s Power:
â€˜All of them were filled with the Holy Spiritâ€™ (4). The
disciples needed the power of the Spirit to be different:
not fearfully gathered behind locked doors, but energised
to make Christ known. The Spirit can transform our lives
into the likeness of Jesus and give gifts to equip our
witness. Although the disciplesâ€™ experience of this power
was overwhelming, it was essentially an encounter with
Godâ€™s love. For us, this can be equally emotional or quiet,
but all are included, and nobody is excluded from this
experience.

The disciples â€˜began to speak in other tongues as the
Spirit enabled them.â€™ (4). The Spirit empowered their
witness, so that everyone heard them speaking in their
own â€˜native languageâ€™ (lit: dialect, v8). We all have a story
to tell of Godâ€™s activity in our lives and itâ€™s the Spirit who
translates our words and actions into a language that
those around can understand! At Pentecost, 3,000 people
were added to the church in one day! What do we expect
of the Spirit in our day?
â€˜Let the Church return to Pentecost, and Pentecost will
return to her. The Spirit of God cannot take possession of
believers beyond their capacity of receiving Himâ€™ (Andrew
Murray).
Prayer for Pentecost
Loving Father God,
Thank you for sending your Holy Spirit;
Your Spirit who knows no restrictions or barriers;
Your Spirit who can reach us and be with us and in us,
wherever we are, whatever our circumstances;
Your Spirit who comforts and heals and empowers us to
live with confidence that, ultimately, all shall be well;
Your Spirit who connects us, through the life, death,
resurrection and ascension of Jesus.
Because of Jesusâ€™ victory over death we have hope and
life forever.
Thank you, loving Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen.

âœ¤ We pray for all areas of the world where there is
tension and violence. Especially for Russia and
the Ukaraine, Yemen, Myanmar and North Korea.
Dear Lord bring peace to all these countries.
âœ¤ We remember the Muslim people of western China, the
Uighurs, and people throughout the world who are unjustly
oppressed.
âœ¤ We remember Brazil, suffering hugely over COVID. Bring
wisdom to the government there.
âœ¤ We thank God that in the UK the vaccination programme
and other measures have been reducing the incidence
and deaths from COVID. We pray that, as society opens
up more and more, people will remain vigilant, and will
consider, â€œother,â€ at all times.
âœ¤ We thank God for the amazing work of the NHS,
scientists, the uniformed services, the logisticians, Local
and National government, the private and public sectors
for the amazing things they have achieved over the last 15
months to keep us safe, and beat back the pandemic.
âœ¤ We pray for churches in their ministry to their communities
in this time. We thank God for the signs of spiritual new
life, and the willingness of people to, â€œlet go,â€ of things no
longer so relevant as they were, and to take on new things
more in keeping with the world as it is now.
âœ¤ We pray for countries where there are not the resources,
the will and the understanding to defeat this pandemic.
Help us to understand, that until all are protected, none
are protected. Help the World Health Organisation to work
with all countries, so that the vaccines is available to all as
soon as it is needed.

Annual Parochial Church Meeting after 10.30am Service
Yes itâ€™s that time again when we hear and read about what
our Church has been doing this past year.
It is also the time for us to propose and elect our next
wardens and for Parochial Church Council Members.
If you are interested in being a Warden or on the Parochial
Church Council please speak to Revd Lizzie, also Elaine or
Nigel who are our current wardens.
As in previous years we like to make up a booklet of reports
from groups and organisations, even though at different
times of the year we have been in lock down we would still
like a report on what you did or didnâ€™t do. Think of it as a
historic information for the future. So please send to me,
anita@lavis.org.uk your reports by Sunday 2nd May, so that
they can be produced before the Annual Parochial Church
Meeting.
Colin Hammacott praises the wonderful everyday blessing
that anyone of us can give.
Be kind to each other
â€˜And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of
these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that
person will certainly not lose their reward.â€™
(Matthew 10:42)
During the Covid-19 pandemic, there have been
thousands of shining examples up and down the country
of people going the extra mile to help the elderly,
vulnerable and those at risk.

×‰	Ú 7cassandra://wzrJOZDas49DplZsH60aGeDTDnCq650kzHY1iEfKGYoÍ,Í`ÌµÍ ×`¼|Î<Dœh÷„•×‰EÚ®The helpers have been shopping, cooking meals, making
regular telephone calls, and checking that needs are
being met. We must sincerely hope that these acts of
kindness will continue well beyond the coronavirus
outbreak.
Simple acts of kindness are so important in cementing the
fabric of our society. Some years ago, this thought
inspired the following poem:
A Brighter Tomorrow
There is much we can do just to brighten
This world of all take and no give
Thereâ€™s a great deal that we can contribute
Through the everyday lives that we live.
By supporting oneâ€™s elderly neighbours
Or through lending a hand in some way
Itâ€™s by taking a bunch of spring flowers
To someone to brighten their day.
Itâ€™s by sparing a few precious hours
In the service of those most in need
Itâ€™s all about setting a standard
And trying to give others a lead
Itâ€™s the way that we tend to treat others
And help and aid folks in distress
Itâ€™s the care and assistance we offer
That will set us apart from the rest.
The choice that we face is quite simple
The rewards plain for all men to see
â€˜As you did all of this to my brother
Thenâ€™ said Christ, â€˜you did it to Me.â€™
By Colin Hammacott (Parish Pump)

With every gift we help
people like Rose and stop
this climate crisis.
This climate crisis hurts us all.
But people living in poverty have the worst of it every day,
From drought to flooding, climate change robs people of
control over their lives. Extreme weather means people like
Rose are struggling to survive without a reliable source of
water.
Your gift could help a community build an earth dam, so
when the rains do come, they will have water they need to
live. A reliable source of water will help families withstand
long droughts or relentless rainstorms.
In Aprilâ€™s issue there was a little piece about Rose who is a
60 year old grandmother and who collects water ever day, a
walk off 6 hours just to fetch water for her family. She says
â€œBecause I am old, I canâ€™t walk very fast. When I get home I
just rest in the evening. I have no energy to do anything
elseâ€.
With a reliable source of water, people like Rose would be
free from long, painful journeys. They would be able to grow
fresh vegetables to eat. And they would be able to protect
themselves from the dangers of coronavirus. With such dire
need, every last drop of water that falls in Roseâ€™s community
is precious.
Your gifts could help communities build better earth dams to
harvest more water to help put a stop to this climate crisis.
People like Rose need every last drop to survive this
climate crisis. Your gifts will help ensure they can. Give
today and help ensure people like Rose have the water
they need to live.

Nobody likes to throw food away, but if you ignore the use by
dates and go by smell alone, you can risk serious illness.
So warns the Food Standards Agency. In a recent study, the
regulator found that half of us do not always check use-by
dates.
Many of us still smell the milk to see if it is still okay, and
even Theresa May, the former Prime Minister, has admitted
to scraping the mould off jam in order to cut waste.
The agency has warned that some Britons who actively
ignore use-by dates could risk being hospitalised. Use-by
dates are carefully calculated by assessing bacteria on food
which could multiply to make them ill.
A spokesman for the agency said: â€œItâ€™s great that consumers
are trying to minimise food waste, but there are lots of ways
to do that without gambling with your health, such as
planning your meals ahead of time, checking what you have
in the fridge is close to its use-by date, and freezing food
right up until the use-by dates.â€
Sadly, there are around 2.4million cases of food poisoning
each year, and 180 deaths.
(From the editor, I have to admit to being one of these people
that at some time or another, I have looked at the use by
date, and maybe itâ€™s just out, but will still smelt and taste a bit
to see if itâ€™s okay. Naughty me!)

This group might be starting back later in
the month, so please keep a look out on

LETTER OF THANKS
John recently received a letter thanking everyone for their
donations of games and toys to the Young Carers. These
were all donated during our Nativity Trial, but only now have
they been able to accept them.
On the following page is the letter that John received for you
to read and also some information for you to look up to see if
you can help out in other ways.

Dear John
Bristol & South
Gloucestershire
I am writing to thank you and your members for
the very generous donation of games for Bristol
and South Gloucestershire Young Carers. We
know the young carers will be hugely
appreciative of these gifts.
Caring is a huge responsibility and Covid 19
has increased the burden on young carers and
their families. Toys and games are welcome
entertainment for young carers to take time for
themselves to play and have time out from caring.
We have managed to adapt our services over the last year
and been able to continue to provide 1:1 support and
activities online. Though some young carers have struggled
many have responded positively to the support offered. As
government guidance changes, we are able to begin offering
some face to face support for the young carers and their
families.
Thank you for the part that you and your members play in
helping us to continue to support young carers whatever the
circumstances we have to deal with. Please do pass on our
thanks and share this letter. We will add your name to our
supporters e-bulletin. One of the things we are promoting in
the ebulletin is our link to the Co-op.
Itâ€™s a great scheme,
where anyone who shops in a Co-op â€“ anywhere in the
country â€“ can help raise funds for young carers.
Kind regards,
Joss Tagg (Young Carers Service Manager)

Rogation Sunday
The first Sunday in May is Rogation Sunday. This is when
many parishes still â€˜beat the boundsâ€™. Rogation means an
asking of God - for blessing on the seed and land. The
practice began with the Romans, who processed around the
cornfields each Spring, singing and dancing, sacrificing
animals, in order to get rid of evil.
About 465 AD the
Western world
was suffering
from earthquake
and storm.
Mamertius,
Bishop of Vienne,
aware of the
pagan custom,
ordered that
prayers should
be said in the
ruined or
neglected fields.
Thus â€˜beating the
boundsâ€™ became
a Christian
ceremonial.
It arrived in England early in the eighth century. Each Spring,
led by the priest, a little party from the parish would set out
with a Cross to trace the boundaries of the parish. Theyâ€™d
implore God to keep their corn and roots and boughs in good
health, and bring them to harvest.
In the days when maps
were scarce, â€˜beating the boundsâ€™ helped remind everyone
just where the boundaries were. Do you know yours today?

Croft. BRF Â£7.99
Nine reflections on Isaiah to bring hope in challenging
times.
â€˜Comfort, O comfort my people, says your Godâ€¦â€™. Through
nine reflections Steven Croft, Bishop of Oxford, examines
what these â€˜comfortable wordsâ€™ have to say to us.
The prophet sings of love and forgiveness, of new hope and strength in
God, to rekindle courage in the hearts of Godâ€™s people. The prophet sings
of a new kind of leadership, based on humility and gentleness. The prophet
sings to tell us not to be afraid even in the face of death. These are
comfortable words the whole world needs to hear afresh in this season.
Babies and Toddlers â€“ nurturing your childâ€™s spiritual life
by Rachel Turner, BRF. Â£4.99
Our childrenâ€™s early years are incredibly significant in shaping
their mental, emotional and spiritual lives for the future. So how
do we sow seeds of faith, when they are still so young?
In this book Rachel Turner suggests simple, everyday
approaches to help our children connect with the God who
knows them. Wherever you are on your faith journey, you can help your child
meet and know God, and however young your child is, God loves them and has
promises for them.

and more expectant for miraculous breakthroughs too. It's full of
honest, hard-won wisdom interspersed with real-life stories -
some humorous, others moving - to equip and inspire your
prayer life. If you have a Kindle or a Kobis it can be purchased

I have recently been give copies of the All
Saints Magazine dating back to 1965, but
also 3 very small ones of 2 sheets, dated
June & September 1959 and January
1960. I have scanned through the copies
from1965 to1989 and found them most
interesting. This piece below I felt was a
must to share. It was written by the Revd
Vittle.
The biggest impact on me, on looking
through these magazines, was how high
the attendance was in the early days, I was
quite astounded. Will share another time.

What was also noticeably, and here nothing changes, and that
was there was always appeals for more volunteers for the
cleaning, brass, flower rota etc. plus asking for articles to fill the
magazine.
So with that last little bit, it just leaves me to ask for you to send
any articles to me by Wednesday 12th May to anita@lavis.org.uk
I have given you all a few more extra days, to help you out.
Now from last month, how many of you went through the
magazine to see how many eggs you could find?
The number of coloured eggs were â€”â€” 42, but there was one
other that was broken in half, so if you counted that one the total
would be 43. Did you get it right?
One final thing, now that every thing is about to open up, please
take care and if possible continue to keep safe and take care.
