BENEFICE OF BUCKROSE CARRS COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER No 26 Letting you know what’s happening in our communities Rillington, Sherburn, Thorpe Bassett, Scampston East & West Heslerton, East & West Knapton, Yedingham & Wintringham February 2018 Our Vicar writes: I was reading something by a guy called Max Lyons that struck a cord and much of what he said is here. Over the past few weeks I’ve come across typically two types of people, energisers and leeches… after an encounter with an energiser, we walk away full of life and better off than before. Leeches are different. They sap our energy, leaving us depleted and needing to recharge. They are consumers who always seem to want something that serves them. They seem to only be focussed on what they want, only asking “what does this do for me? What will I get out of it?” (Does this remind you of someone you know?) It is a very self focussed way of living where what I want is much more important that what may serve others. The interesting thing is that energisers seem to have an overabundance of energy that attracts people to them, while leeches are never happy with what they have and consistently repel people away. The difference between the two is a mindset of generosity. …...continued 1 From the registers : Funeral: 20 December 2017. Leslie Johnson.

Generosity is a mindset In Matthew 23:23 (NIV), Jesus addresses this, “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices–mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law–justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.” Jesus shows us that generosity cannot come from a selfish heart but must come from a servant heart. We can individually change for the better the lives of those around us but this can only be done through a servant heart… by putting others ahead of ourselves and serving them, often sacrificing the things we want. This is the call of Christ, he was the Servant King, and he calls us to follow him and serve others. Rev Joe K

I was reading something by a guy called Max Lyons
that struck a cord and much of what he said is here.
Over the past few weeks I’ve come across typically
two types of people, energisers and leeches… after
an encounter with an energiser, we walk away full of life and better
off than before.
Leeches are different. They sap our energy, leaving us depleted
and needing to recharge. They are consumers who always seem
to want something that serves them. They seem to only be
focussed on what they want, only asking “what does this do for
me? What will I get out of it?” (Does this remind you of

what I want is much more important that what may serve others.

Generosity is a mindset
In Matthew 23:23 (NIV), Jesus addresses this, “Woe to you,
teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a
tenth of your spices–mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected
the more important matters of the law–justice, mercy and
faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without
neglecting the former.” Jesus shows us that generosity cannot
come from a selfish heart but must come from a servant heart.
We can individually change for the better the lives of those around us but this can only be done through a servant heart… by putting others ahead of ourselves and serving them, often sacrificing the things we want. This is the call of Christ, he was the Servant King, and he calls us to follow him and serve others. Rev Joe K

Christmas Cards
For the last few years, members of the congregation at Rillington have sent a communal card rather than individual ones. The money saved has then been given to help those less fortunate in other parts of the world. This last Christmas, £90 was given and the PCC decided to add a sum equal to the offering at the
Bereavement Service. £234 was then sent to Links International to purchase the following gifts:
3 x Lifewater filter kits (10 litres/hour for 2 years)
2 x chickens + feed for a year
Bees (Beekeeping provides a source of income and nutrition for people in rural situations)
1 5 Moringa trees (nutritious and anti-bacterial)
Small solar lamp (used for study and phone charging)
