Immanuel Feniscowles Welcome Immanuel is a church at the heart of our local community here in Feniscowles and Pleasington. We believe that God has called us to reflect the grace, beauty, love and peace of Jesus Christ to one another and to our neighbours here in Feniscowles, Pleasington, Livesey and Cherry Tree. God has blessed us with a beautiful and historic church building and with a heritage of prayer and Christian worship. We want to share all that God has given us, with those who want to experience more of God’s grace and blessing in their lives.

Welcome to Our Services Everyone is very welcome at Immanuel. We have a range of Services on

different days and of different styles, come along to experience more.

Sundays 9:15am - Holy Communion (traditional language) A quiet said service using the traditional language Church of England Prayer Book, the Book of Common Prayer. There are no hymns and the service lasts about 35 mins. The service includes a short talk by the vicar to help to think about either the Bible reading for the day or current themes or events. A contemplative, quiet start to the day. 10:30am - Parish Eucharist The main service of the week which includes hymns and a full address by the vicar on either the Bible readings or a current event or theme. There are prayers led by members of the congregation and tea and coffee served after the service. The focus of the service is on receiving Holy Communion along with the words of the Bible readings, vicar’s address, prayers and hymns. Sunday School meets in the Church Hall at the same time as this service and joins the congregation for communion with the children showing the congregation what they have been doing in Sunday School at the end of the Service. Every third Sunday of the month we don't have Holy Communion but instead are joined by all our Uniformed Organisations and lots of parents with young children for a child friendly family and Parade Service. In this Service children from the Uniformed Organisatio ns receive the badges they achieved in the previous month. Thursdays 7:30pm - Family Communion An informal child friendly Communion Service with modern language and an all age address based around a modern language Bible story. The Service lasts about half an hour and children are chosen to take the collection and bring the bread and wine to the altar. Children are often also chosen to help in the all age address too! Messy Church Every Fourth Tuesday of the Month at St Francis School 3:30pm – 5pm. A Fresh Expression of Church, this is a fun filled time of play based worship for children and their parents

LOTS OF OTHER SEASONAL AND OCCASIONAL SERVICES ARE HELD THROUGH THE YEAR - KEEP AN EYE OPEN FOR THEM BY LOOKING AT THE WEBSITE, THE PARISH MAGAZINE OR, BETTER STILL, COME ALONG TO ONE OF OUR REGULAR SERVICES TO FIND OUT MORE!

Dear Friends As the year hurtles by already and, as I write, there are still Christmas decorations to be seen in some places, we look forward to February and with it, another set of traditions to be celebrated. One such, ignored at my mortal peril in our house, occurs on February 14th, Valentine’s Day. Even as the Christmas decorations come down, I was intrigued to learn a few things I, and possibly you, may never have known about Valentine’s Day, until now………. One story of the origins of Valentines Day comes from the time of the Roman Empire, under the rule of Emperor Claudius the Second (Not the one of ‘I Claudius’ fame), . Rome was involved in many bloody and unpopular military campaigns. Claudius the Cruel, as he was known at the time, was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that Roman men did not want to leave their lovers or families. As a result, he cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. During this time a Christian priest named Valentine came to defend love in the empire. Valentine began to secretly marry couples despite the emperor’s orders. When Emperor Claudius was informed of these ceremonies, Valentine was sent to prison where he remained until his death on February 14 in the year 270. The festival is like Christmas a combination of both pagan ritual and a Christian tradition and is also linked to the pagan festival of Lupercalia, which was celebrated on February 15 by young Romans centuries before Christ. The celebration was held in honour of the goddess Februata Juno, and concerned all young people of marriageable age. The names or tokens representing all the young girls in the district were placed in a love urn and the young lads each drew a token and the couples paired off. This was a kind of mating lottery game. During the Roman occupation of Britain, the idea was brought to this country and adopted by the ancient Britons. When people were converted to Christianity the pagan and Christian festivals were merged; the festival of Lupercalia was put back a day and celebrated on St. Valentine's day, February 14. The old pagan customs still continued and in Britain up to the beginning of the present century it was customary for local lads and

lasses to draw lots for partners. InLincolnshire, on St. Valentine's eve, the names of eligible young people were written on separate slips of paper and divided into two groups, male and female. The boys drew a slip from the girls' pile and vice versa. Thus each person received two sweethearts and then had to work out for themselves the most satisfactory arrangement. After the final selection had been made the boys treated their maidens to all sorts of outings and surprises including dances and gifts. The censorship of strict Victorian fathers and the element of mystery and surprise experienced by those who in former times played the lottery pairing game has undoubtedly contributed to the reason why Valentine cards are, by tradition, anonymous. Gifts have always been a traditional aspect of the lovers' holiday. As a tradition in Wales, wooden love spoons are carved and given as gifts. Hearts, keys and keyholes are favorite decorations on the spoons, meaning "You unlock my heart." Today Valentine's cards are sent anonymously by a 'secret admirer', a common practice is to put a personal message in the local or national newspapers. Several Valentine's Day superstitions have even made their way into our modern-day vocabularies. For example, in the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week, and "to wear your heart on your sleeve" now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling. Other Valentine's Day superstitions revolve around predicting who you're going to marry. Some people used to believe that the first bird a single woman saw on Valentine's Day would give her an indication of the kind of man she'd marry. If a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. And if she witnessed a goldfinch flying above, she would marry a millionaire. I dread to think what it would mean if you saw a vulture, luckily they're not common round these parts. These superstitions probably come from the belief that birds, particularly

lovebirds, began to mate on February 14th. Four medieval tips On a more practical note, medieval literature can be of assistance if you’re yet to find a gift for a special someone this Valentine’s day. Forget about flashy jewellery; here are some love tokens suitable for every budget: “Looking to reignite that spark in your relationship? In his 12th-century Art of Courtly Love Andreas Capellanus suggests buying your partner a washbasin. Who needs expensive perfume when a good wash may do the trick? How about personalising some of your beloved’s clothes? Add fasteners only you know how to undo and you’ve got yourself an instant chastity belt. (See the 12th-century tales by Marie de France for examples of suitable garments.) Alternatively, upcycle one of your lover’s old shirts by sewing strands of your hair into it. To judge by Alexander’s reaction in the 12th-century romance of Cligés by Chrétien de Troyes, they’ll never want to wear anything else. (Hand-wash only.) And if the above just don’t seem heartfelt enough, you could always take a leaf out of Le Chastelain de Couci’s book, who (according to his 13th-century biography) literally gave his heart to his lover. (Beware unwanted side effects.)” Well, whether you receive a valentine’s card, anonymous or otherwise, this year, or any other gift, which will hopefully not be in the form of an actual human heart, we can take comfort from the fact that there is one gift of love that we can never doubt, never be separated from and will never come to an end – of course, the best Valentine of all, and you don’t need me to tell you what it is. Of course, the love of God, unconditional, often unrequited and un-earned, unsought for and often popping through the letterbox of our lives, as it is, doesn’t only last for one day, and can be experienced in many ways. Like many other kinds of love.

David, our Vicar, considers himself to have been appointed to the whole community and not just to those who go to church. He would like to hear from

you if you want to arrange a baptism, wedding, funeral or if you would just like him to drop in for a cuppa.

Immanuel Church is your parish church. It is primarily a place of worship but it is also a place where you can go when you need a bit of peace and quiet or

simply to marvel at the skills of the craftsmen of yesteryear.

But let me leave you with one last thought, that although we have seen that in many different times, places and cultures, Valentine’s Day traditions, like our perception of love in its purest form, that of God, takes many different forms and looks very different, perhaps there is one way in which it might manifest itself here in Lancashire Wars of the Roses Patrick Winstanley Roses are bred In every hue But for my wife Only red will do. She's not picky She's not being crass It's just that she's A Lancashire lass Happy Valentine’s Day Your Friend and vicar David

The Foodbank has been in touch to say they are desperately short of tinned tomatoes and tinned meat. Donations may be left in the box at the back of Church. Immanuel £50 Draw It is now time to sign up to our £50 draw which should give £600 to the church and £600 paid out in prizes. In the years that Nina and I have been doing this we have never managed to get the full 100 numbers taken and consequently although £600 has been paid out in prizes the church has not yet managed to receive the full amount. Please would you leave your money (£12 per number) and names at the back of church or with a warden for us to collect. Thank You Sheila

Warden’s Report January is almost gone at the time of writing this, already everything is settling back to normality with all the trimmings back in their boxes, but looking outside it looks more like Christmas with ice, snow and wonderful blue skies! I would like to start this year by thanking all our helpers for their time, talents and commitment to our church. So much is done quietly behind the scenes, so thank you all for making things go so smoothly. Next I have some special dates for 2019. Please put these in your diaries and try to attend the events if you possibly can. Sunday 14th April (Palm Sunday), we have the AGM in the church hall at 12o’clock. I know I say this every year but it is important for you all to know how much it means for you all to find out what is happening, to know who is doing what and to voice any concerns you have. All your questions will be answered. I will be retiring as warden at this meeting and 2 new ones are needed. It is a really worthwhile job and one which I have enjoyed immensely getting to know so many people, learning the ins and outs of the everyday running of the church, and the opportunity of sharing special times of both joy and grief with people. I have loved it. 29th June is the Summer Fayre, a wonderful event and a good time to share special fellowship with each other. The high point of this is the crowning of the new Rose Queen, not to mention all the home made cakes! Into November we have our Christmas Fayre on the 16th, but more about that later. In the meantime we have Mothering Sunday, Easter and the Summer Holidays to look forward to, so we look forward to seeing you in Church for some, if not all, of the celebration services. Sheila Haworth Warden

A Lent Study Course for both St Francis and Immanuel will run every Monday in Lent at 7pm at the vicarage beginning Monday11th March, all are welcome to attend any session, each stands alone and it is not necessary to attend each one to enjoy the course All are welcome and the kettle will be on, there will be home made cake served each week, so don’t give up cake for Lent!!

Confirmations 2018 Junior Confirmation Classes will begin on Wednesday 13th in Immanuel Lower Hall at 6:30pm to 7:30pm and will run weekly in term time thereafter until the Confirmation Service. If you would like your child to be Confirmed this year please have a word with David or just bring them to the first Confirmation Class where registration forms will be available.

Adult Confirmation classes will also be held weekly at the Vicarage - please would any adult wishing to be Confirmed this year contact me for further details.

If you wish to discuss any aspect of Confirmation please don’t hesitate to speak to David Flowers for February Altar 10th Mr Coulthurst Gill Gaskell

Following the thanks to Gill, which appeared in last November's magazine, it is with great sadness that I have to let you know that Gill passed away on 3rd January. She had been very poorly.

Gill will be remembered by all of us for the beautiful displays of Easter Flowers that, for many years up to a few years ago, she arranged in the porch to welcome us to church. Those with good memories will also think of the large Chrysanthemum cross that she used to lovingly put together for the pulpit at Easter time.

Thank you again, very much, Gill. We will never forget you.

Immanuel Charitable Giving In 2017 the PCC decided that Immanuel should donate £1,000 from its current budget to one overseas and one domestic charity. Accordingly in 2017 the South East Asia Floods Disasters Emergency Committee Relief Fund appeal received £500 following an urgent appeal from the Archbishop of Canterbury. The other £500 was donated to The Children’s Society whose work we support as a Church. The PCC unanimously agreed to increase this giving to £2,500 for the year 2018 and decided to split this three ways between the Rosemere Centre, Preston, which featured in last month’s magazine; the Scripture Union which does such good work in making the Bible accessible to cultures it is harder to reach both in our own country and throughout the world; and a charity which helps people struggling with debt in the North West. The PCC unanimously agreed to match last year’s giving of £2,500 this coming year, 2019 and will decide which charities should receive these funds at their meetings. Church members will be kept informed through the magazine and website. It is only because of the generous giving of Immanuel members that we are able to follow this Biblical principle of giving away some of our income to some of the most needy in our world. The vicar, warden and PCC are very grateful to all who give so generously to our Church. Without you we couldn’t do it! Please do continue to give generously to Church, knowing that when we do, a small portion of this is being given away according to how the Bible teaches us to give.

Apostle! -a sonnet for St. Paul The 25th of January is the day the Church keeps the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. However often told or re-told, it is still an astonishing story. That Saul, the implacable enemy of Christianity, who came against the faith ‘breathing threats and slaughter’, should be chosen by God to be Christianity’s greatest proponant and apostle is just the first of a series of dazzling and life-changing paradoxes that flow from Paul’s writing. At the heart of these is the revelation of God’s sheer grace; finding the lost, loving the violent into light, and working everything through the very weakness of those who love him. Here’s a sonnet celebrating just a little glimpsed in the great Apostle. Apostle An enemy whom God has made a friend, A righteous man discounting righteousness, Last to believe and first for God to send, He found the fountain in the wilderness. Thrown to the ground and raised at the same moment, A prisoner who set his captors free, A naked man with love his only garment, A blinded man who helped the world to see, A Jew who had been perfect in the law, Blesses the flesh of every other race And helps them see what the apostles saw; The glory of the lord in Jesus’ face. Strong in his weakness, joyful in his pains, And bound by love, he freed us from our chains Malcolm Guite

Annual Clergy Study Days begin across the Diocese

The latest clergy study days are currently getting to grips with the theme of ‘generosity, gift and grace’ in the context of discipleship; with ‘whole-life discipleship’ being an important focus of our work as a Diocese in the coming years. The study days for our clergy are taking place on five days in January and February and the first event was at Whalley Abbey on January 10. The next study day is on January 31 at the Hallmark Hotel in Leyland. More than 40 clergy attended the Abbey day; with 150+ booked in to attend all the events so far. Bishop Philip hosted and introduced speakers including Bishop Julian, Archdeacon Mark and the Dean, Peter Howell-Jones. Bishop Philip said: “Stewardship leaflets often start with a straightforward request for money, perhaps to fix the roof … but that approach doesn’t motivate generosity. Instead, our starting point should be what Jesus has done for us. “Giving is not about ‘propping up’ an institution. It’s about our relationship with God and we should be looking at the whole concept of giving in a different way. “So often we spend our money on all kinds of things in our daily lives and give what’s left over to God. Instead, let’s seek to encourage people to think about our income as being what we have AFTER we have given what is due to God.” Building on this, The Dean told a powerful story about an early Christian encounter, before he came to faith, when he saw the mother of a friend put £20 – a huge sum at the time – into the collection plate. The impact of witnessing her quiet and selfless generosity stuck with him, long after the service itself was over. Bishop Julian followed the Dean and said: “The attitude with which we give is almost as important as the gift itself. Often there is a tendency to pride when giving when in fact it is our privilege, and not a duty, to give to God; and we should do so with a cheerful heart. “When people discover the joy and impact that can come from giving to grow God’s Kingdom it will also make a huge difference to the level of giving in parishes.” Bishop Julian gave the example of his former parish of Claygate in Surrey where, following a spike in giving to support a church project, the congregation was invited to rethink their regular giving – leading to a long-term increase of 50%, based on the level of giving before the project. Meanwhile Archdeacon Mark encouraged the thought that giving can be an adventure … and you can read more about this thinking in his column on page 3 of the February edition of The See.

Three Easy Ways to help and support your church 1) Buy a church magazine every month - the magazine contains details of all services and events taking place in our church plus our vicar’s letter to the parish and many interesting articles. If you wish you can contribute to the magazine by either e-mailing your article to the vicar or giving a paper copy to the warden on duty who will ensure that it is given to the editor. 2) The 100 Club - the monthly draw with a prize of £50. For £12 per year there is a monthly prize of £50 for one lucky number. This should be an easy way of providing revenue for the church. 100 numbers at £12.00 per year, £600 given back in prize money and £600 for church funds. To achieve this we need to have 100 numbers taken and in the past few years this has not been the case. We are coming up to the year end so please think about taking part in this draw. 3) Sponsorship of the weekly news sheet - the cost of sponsoring this news sheet is still only £5 which goes towards the printing costs. You can sponsor the sheet for any reason, in memory of a loved one, to celebrate a special birthday or occasion or just because you feel like it. If you would like to sponsor the sheet please contact Sheila Haworth in church or tel: 01254 722602
