The Christmas and New Year letter is by Lorraine Reed. Does it seem to you that Christmas starts earlier every year? It certainly seemed that way to me when my husband bought a sandwich for lunch in mid-October which carried the label ‘Boxing Day Sandwich’! It may be a commercial advantage for the shops to promote Christmas months ahead but it can have the effect of making people weary of it and obscuring what it is really all about. The robins and the reindeer, the snowy scenes and Santa with his sackful of presents are attractive ‘feel good’ Christmas images. But they are only traditional extras to the real story of Christmas. The real story is a love story. One that began before the world came into existence. One that has you and me right at the heart of it. One of the joys of the Christmas season is to hear little children singing ‘Away in a Manger’ as they do at our Crib Service every year. (Come along if you’ve never been before – it’s amazing!) And although the message of some Christmas advertising and merchandise is more ‘Away with the Manger’ than ‘Away in a Manger’ the manger is still central to our human story. It is the symbol of the greatest and most costly gift that has ever been given: the gift of God himself in human form to a broken and needy world. In the now world famous Nine Lessons and Carols Service which is broadcast from Kings College Cambridge every Christmas Eve, the Ninth Lesson is a reading from the first chapter of John’s gospel which speaks of God becoming man. It is introduced like this: ‘St John unfolds the great mystery of the Incarnation’. This is a truly amazing reading – and if you’ve never read it, give yourself a Christmas treat and do so. ‘Incarnation’ is the word used to describe God in the human person of Jesus Christ and mystery it surely is. How could the eternal all-powerful creator God become a tiny embryo in the womb of an ordinary woman? How could there be a mother created by her own child? It is all beyond our understanding. And why do it? Why come here and be born as a helpless infant into a harsh world? Why put himself through living here where he was misunderstood, mistrusted, betrayed and ultimately condemned to death? He did it because he loves you and he loves me more than we could ever imagine and the only way he could set our feet on the right path was to come among us as one of us. He came to make it possible for us by the way he lived, the way he died and by his rising from the dead to discover the reality of God’s existence and to experience the forgiveness, unconditional acceptance, deep peace and joy of living that comes through knowing him.

How odd Christmas is weird - what other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat sweets out of your socks?

A Christmas Recipe

1. Pour in a good measure of Father Christmas. 2. Add plenty of presents. 3. Put in a few festive birds. 4. Sprinkle on some snow. 5. Don’t forget the donkey! 6. Stir in some shepherds and angels. 7. Stars may be added at this point, and wise men should begin to simmer. 8. Whatever you do, don’t forget the vital ingredient…..

Confirmation – March 13th 2016 at 6.30 pm.

Have you been confirmed? Have you recently started coming to church? If you now see yourself as belonging to St. Michael’s or St. John’s, and have not yet been confirmed, this is important for you. We are having a Confirmation Service at St. Michael’s at 6.30 pm on Sunday, March 13th. If you are someone who has come to faith recently, we invite you to consider Confirmation. It is an opportunity to make the vows made for you at your baptism for yourself in public, and to receive prayer for the infilling of the Holy Spirit from the bishop. For many it is the occasion of their first Communion. If you have not yet been baptised, we will arrange that at a suitable time. But you may have been coming along for years, you may have joined St. Michael’s or St. John’s from another Christian denomination, and you want to make a public declaration that you now belong to us – then again, please consider Confirmation. It is good to have an opportunity to learn more of the faith in an informal setting, and always good to rededicate our lives to the Lord. Young people need to be in year 10 or above. There is no upper age limit! I normally hold five preparation classes and then a rehearsal on Sunday afternoons from 5 – 6 pm downstairs in No. 28. The classes will start on Sunday, January 17th, missing the half term weekends. If you think you might be interested, please contact me soon. If you are not sure whether it is for you, or what is involved, it would be good to have a chat – do please get in touch.

Cranmer Awards

Once again, some of our young people took part in the annual Cranmer awards, which this year took place at Upton-by-Chester.

Both the Bishop and the Dean of Chester were among the judges!

In the junior section, Jazmine Currie, Megan Ellison and Alice Olbrich all gave excellent performances and the marks must have been very close Alice was the winner, Megan came second and Jazmine, entering for the first time, was third.

In the senior section, Charlotte Buckley and Paul Ellison also gave excellent readings. Paul was the winner and Charlotte came second. Paul and Alice will be going to the national finals in February, when they have to recite their passages from memory. Watch this space!

How Father Christmas got where he is today

One person you are bound to run into this Christmas season is Father Christmas. These days he seems to frequent shopping malls and garden centres. If he looks tired, just remember that he has been around a long time, and gone through a lot of transformations.

Father Christmas wasn’t always the red-suited, white-bearded star of the retail trade that he is today. He began life as Nicholas, born way back about AD260 in Patara, an important port on the southern coast of what is now Turkey. When his parents died and left him a fortune, Nicholas gave it away to the poor. He became a bishop of the nearby city of Myra, where he almost certainly suffered persecution and imprisonment at the hand of the Roman Emperor Diocletian.

Nicholas died in Myra about AD343, but the stories of his generosity and kindness were just beginning. One enduring tale tells of the three girls whom he rescued from certain prostitution by giving them gold for their dowries. When the father confronted him to thank him, Nicholas said he should thank God alone.

In the UK, Nicholas became the basis for Father Christmas, who emerged in Victorian times as a jolly-faced bearded character. Meanwhile, Dutch and German settlers had taken him to America with them as Sinter Klaas and Sankt Nicklas.

It was in America that Nicholas received his final two great breaks into real stardom. The first was when the Rev Clement C Moore, a New York Episcopal minister, turned from his life-work of writing a Hebrew/English lexicon, to write a fun poem for his children one Christmas. His ‘The Visit of St Nicholas’ is now universally known by its first line: ‘T’was the Night Before Christmas’.

So how did we find out that Father Christmas wears red? That was the US Coca-Cola advertising campaign of 1931, who finally released the latest, up-to-date pictures of Father Christmas: wearing a bright red, fur-trimmed coat and a large belt.

These days, it is good that Father Christmas uses reindeer and doesn’t have to pay for petrol. In order to get round all the children in the world on Christmas Eve, he will have to travel 221 million miles at an average speed of 1279 miles a second, 6,395 times the speed of sound. For all those of us who are exhausted just rushing around getting ready for Christmas, that is a sobering thought.

Christ for All

Following the visit from Franklin and Manohar from Andhra Pradesh in June, we received a summary of how the church’s contributions are being put to use. Franklin sent us breakdown of specific sums of money for projects or individuals. By publicising these in the weekly news sheet, our thoughts have really focussed. In October we held a sponsored “Water Carry” where we tried to replicate the time and effort required for an Indian village to obtain water – something we take for granted. Volunteers walked around the playing field at Middlewich Primary School and, having filled their empty bottles, walked back around the field to the “Village”. We estimated that three water butts would be the equivalent of the quantity needed to supply a typical small village for one day. For the villagers, it means one member of each family walking for at least four hours every day.

First, walk to the ‘well’ and fill the

bottles.

Then carry the bottles all the way back to home base!

Page 15: The Messenger - middlewichparishchurch.org.uk January 2016 final.pdf · The real story is a love story. One that began before the world came into existence. One that has you and me

15

With the sponsor money raised, and several generous donations, we estimate that we have raised sufficient to finance the provision of wells in four villages.

We have also received donations to cover the needs of Tulasi in setting up her grocery shop and Kamelli Raju in establishing a photograph studio.

The proceeds from the church Christmas card board will go towards medical assistance for Samba Siva Rao.

The response from the people of St Michaels has been overwhelming – thank you for your generosity, which will change many lives.

Thanks too to Middlewich Primary School for the use of their facilities.

Ruth

Finally, empty the bottles (and have a well earned rest!)

Operation Christmas Child

I am astonished, grateful and humbled to be able to report that the good folks of Middlewich and Byley filled and wrapped 61 beautiful shoe-boxes for needy children this year. Your response has been fantastic, especially as you have also helped the refugees. Samaritan’s Purse reports that many counts have been only half that of last year, and that they hope to send some boxes to refugee children. You are all wonderful! Margaret English
