llciilvs LETTER"
New Year's Day, 1963_
‘Q: dear People,

As I write this farewell letter ‘to you 0.11.. we are in
the midst of final preparations for our removal tomorrow
ricrningg rolledup or-.rpets~, piles of crates etc»-.— a, rather
depressing reminder of our imminent departure. 

 whole family and I feel very sad to be leaving, just
as we have become very goodfriendspwith so many of you, but
at least the gloom is lightened by some very _hz*.ppy Areoollec-J
tions of our last fewdays in the parish, the-lovely sight
of Patrixbourne and Be1<:esbourne"in they ,SnOW§“'th9, abeautiful
and crowded First Communion of Christmas st  at‘ ,
Bekesbourne; the memory of the unusual and we1l—s1ing Fest-
ival Service at Bckosbourne and Bridge last Sunday; and
especially the farewell party and presentation at ‘the-
Reading Room. ’ -

,The united parish presentation to us "of '£9Q'haS _0VeI‘-
whelmed us. It is indeed the most convincing demonstration
Of .V0uI‘ generosity andgoodwill towards us andit will be
a very real help towards the furnishing of our "n'ew_-_,,Vica.rag9g
e have in mind buying a specially nice carpet‘ f.or’o_ur _
drawing ‘room with part ‘of the money.— so that ’we,_c'an 's§.y -'
"this was a present from our last parish". ' ' " 

The Very severe weather prevented many of you from.
coming to the Reading Room on.Saturday or to church on "
Sunday, and it has also drastically curtailed our intended
tour of farewell vi.sits,.and this we regret very much, We
1”-OPE‘ that you will take the wish for the deed and remember
>15 in Your 'bhoughts"and prayers as we shall certainly
remember you in the days ahead.

p I am glad that in a Verynshort time your new Vicar
mltbe am°n€ V011; ..andi_i‘_f..you,giVe him and his family the d
ewe“? I'i’51'1-C151”-iP and loyal.“s_uppo”ft"'”that you have shown us?

All my“ famil

On Saturday afternoon, 29th December, we met together in
the Village Hall, Bridge with a blend of pleasure tinged. with
sadness, for we were there to say goodbye to "The Penrx3y:$;", and
to give them some sma11__t_olcen‘_of our gratitude for their work.
Officially we met to present the Vicar with the farewell gift
of a cheque for £90 and to p're’sent Mrs. Penney with a bouquet

WEATHER - AND THANKS

The inclement weather has been .5 source of discomfort
and some danger, especially to the older people. As a
consequence, many of us have been unable to come to church
as often as we would have liked to. This is a thing that
will pass, and we shall all be very glad when once more
the seats in church are filled and we can feel warm and
secure and able to pray together again as members of
God's family. V

In the meantime, I should like, on behalf of us all,
to voice our sincere thanks to all those devoted people
who have ensured our comfort by ‘Staying 011 ‘"19 305'

especially at times like this. To all of them we say,

been re—sited and added to, and the body of the Hall redecorated.
our thanks for the latter are due to Mr. Priokett (who worked
late through many evenings) and Mr.Robson, but I would like to
congratulate the small committee of ladies as well. They chose

"GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VILLACE"
E X H I B I T I O H

Following up our article in last month's issue, we have ma ’ t
a lot of progress towards staging a worthwhile exhibition.

Most of the village organisations have met and discussed 1 .
and have made their plans. The County LibI‘31'.Y'h3V9 311985;! 89
us a, quantity of show material for the Library stand. The Ci
Defence are showing a lot of new Defence Devices. The Women's
Institute have agreed to provide a. comprehensive show of their
various activities and will, we hope, provide us with a. part of
our entertainment. The Horticultural Society stall will also
be an interesting feature, while the Youth Fellowship hope to p
the final for their table tennis tournament. The Church and i
various activities — Mothers‘ Union, Junior Church, and the Cho
will be on show. The Pleasant Hour Club, the Village Hall
Committee, the Parish Council, the Methodist Chapel, the 315-559
School and staff and P.T..-1., the District Nurse, the W.V.S-,
League of Friends of Hospitals, Scouts and Cubs: and P0351513 *
Royal Observer Corps will all be represented. I

The idea of the Exhibition is to show people in 3119-89 “"1 "
Patrixbourne the extent of our activities, and_e:1V° *he:e‘h°]1_‘;“
to learn more about them and us. The Exhibdption V111 ‘D gap-

The Beiesbourne May Fair was a great success and
a most happy family event. It was most pleasing to see
many from Bridge and Patrixbourne supporting this
effort. The proceeds which was the excellent figure
of £60 will be allocated to Church Expenses. I would
like to thank all who worked so hard to make it such

VICAR'S LETTER _
Dear Parishioners ofBridge, Patrixbourne amiBekesbourne.

This is a time of refreshment of body and mind and
many of you will be going away on your holidays during
the coming months of July and August. I do wish you
every happinesss and healthful relaxation with the
members of your families and your friends. Whatever
Church you may worship in on your holiday, please con-
vey to the Minister the greetings of your Parish Church.

‘This month we have our Annual Summer Fete at the
Close on Saturday, the l3th July, through the great
kindness of the Superintendent and the Matron, Mr. &
Mrs. Jones. ,I know I need not ask for your loyal sup-
port of our Fete. I do ask you to bring at least one
friend with you to help swell the attendance. It is
always difficult at this time of year to choose the
right day when there are no other events which may
have a demand on your presence. I hope that the
Church Event will have if not your presence as a
priority your support in either gifts to the stalls
or a donation to its object.

It is with great sadness that Mr. J.D. Smith has
felt that the time has come to relinguish his work as
Superintendent of St. Peter's, Bridge Junior Church.
He has served the Church so very faithfully and _
lovingly in this capacity since he came to Bridge 1n
1945. He has been greatly loved and the children
will miss his immediate presence in their midst: Put
We would like him to know that he has our continuing
prayer and affection.

. Mr. S. Sergeant was licenced by the Arc§biSh0P Of
Canterbur as a Lay Reader to the Diocesan 0
Canterbur§.at the Cathedral on the 15th June-G dye
welcome him and assure him of our Prayer f°r ° 9
blessing on his readershipo - '

Yours sincerely in our Blessed L°r¢

VICAR‘S LETTER
Dear Parishioners of Bridge, Patrixbourne and
Bekesbourne.

At the end of this month and at the beginning of
October we shall be giving thanks to God for the
blessing of Harvest. The keynote is in our prayer
of Thanksgiving. So many people are involved in the
maintenance of our life and in the provision of food
and clothing. In a simple meal, for example, we
touch the many lives of many people of different races
and colour, who in their labour have provided us with
the necessities for the continuance of life. Let us
remember them in our prayers at Harvest Thanksgiving.
Our worship and thanksgiving should not only be
%111“9d_?9 one Sunday ~ familiarly known as Harvest
—h3nkS€1Vln€ Sunday. Each meal should be prefaced
by the Grace; a thank—you for our creation, preser-
vation and all the blessings of this life.

+_On 21st September we remember St. Matthew, one
pf une twelve apostles. He was also an evangelist
hi.e. a writer of one of the four Gospels). Before
fiis call to serve our Lord, he was a_tax gatherer.
gaeh the Homans conquered a country they imposed
axes on it: they did not collect taxes themselves,
but farmed them out" to local residents, who paid
the Romans an agreed sum, and with the authority of
the Romans behind them, squeeued as much money as
they Could out of the people. The more they managed
to collect: the more they would have for themselves,
3??5T Paylhg the agreed sum to the Romans. You can
giite imagine, therefore, that the tax-gatherers were
arobably the most hated people in the country, and
were regarded as traitors. St. Matthew was called
Fy our Lord from his tax-gathering to be an Apostle.
die Gospel is the first book of the New Testament.
Like most of the Apostles he died a martyr's death.

_ St. Michael, whose feast we keep on the 29th,
ifi One of the seven Archangels. He was regarded as
Lac Guardian Trince of the Israelites and he is men-
tioned fpur times in Scripture: in the Old Testament
in the loth and 12th Chapters of Daniel, where he is
_ 3 _

represented as the helper of the Chosen People, and
again in the New Testament, once in Jude (v. 9) dis-
puting with the devil over the body of Moses, and once
in the Book of Revelations (xii. 7-9) fighting the
dragon. He was early regarded in the Church as the
helper of Christian armies against the heathen, and as
a protector of individual Christians at the hour of
death when he conducts the souls to God, a belief still
found in the Offertory of the Roman Mass for the Dead.
He has also been regarded as the recording Angel and as
the intercessor in Heaven for all mankind. He is '
usually represented with a sword, standing over or
fighting with a dragon.

September is a month when the school children and
many of us return from Holiday, ready by God's Grace
to tackle the daily round with new zest, enthusiasm
and a sense of adventure.

Yours very sincerely in our Lord,
COLIN E. H. PERRY

VICAR'S LETTQE

Dear Parishioners,

I hopeto begin Confirmation Classes in November.
There will be a Confirmation for our parishes in Feb.
l964. I should be glad to know the names both of
adults and young people who desire to be prepared for
the sacrament of Confirmation. Each Confirmation
brings new life to the Church. It is to them that
we must one day entrust the continuance of the Church
militant here on Earth. I know that there are some
of you who in the past have thought about being conr
firmed, and I hope that you will come to see me, or I
would gladly come to see you at your house to talk
the matter over.

I am rather concerned and distressed about the
afternoon Evensong at Bekesbourne on the second
Sunday of the month. This has not been supported.
I would gladly continue it, if I felt that there was
a definite need and I had your support.

I make an appeal to parents of our parishes:
come as members of a family with your children to
Church. Constantly set an example to your children.
Try not to fail in this trust. In these days of
weakening standards of living the righteous life,
each person who has the care of a child has a vital
and direct responsibility, which cannot be avoided or
deleéated. A child's development is influenced by
the environment in which he lives and the way he is
trained. The parents of a baptised child chose God-
parents to promise that he would say No to wrong, be-
lieve and practice the Christian faith and serve and
Obey God. It is a tremendous help to enable these
Promises to come true for the child if his parents
Provide a home life and environment where these vital
things do happen already.

_ All Saints’ Day (November lst) falls on a Friday
this year, and as many of you may not have received
the November magazine by then,I should like to menr
tlon it now. November, the great month of Remem-
brance, opens with this day, on which we think of al
the members of our Church, both living and departs 9

_ 3 _

,I

who together form that great Communion of Saints we
mention every time we say the Creed.

I hope that you will make a special effort to at-
tend Holy Communion on that day. Besides the 7 o'clock
Communion there will be a 9.30 a.m. celebration.

I am very sorry to know that we shall be losing the
devoted services of Mr. David Maple as Organist and
Choirmaster. Mr. Maple will be leaving Canterbury in
January to commence his training for the ministry at
Salisbury Theological College. We are desirous of
giving Mr. Maple some token of our appreciation of his
services to our Churches and if any would like to help‘
in this matter, will they kindly send a donation to
any of the Churchwardens or to myself. .

Yours most sincerely in our Lord,
COLIN E. H. PERRY

Vicar.

VICAR'S LETTER

Dear Parishioners of Bridge, Patrixbourne and
Bekesbourne.

I welcome Mr. John Sinclair, who has been appoin-

ted our organist on Mr. David Maple relinquishing this '

post to prepare for Ordination.

Confirmation classes will commence on Monday,
November 18th at 6 o'clock at Bekesbourne Schoolroom,
through the kindness of Mrs. Sandall, and on Wednesday,
November 20th at 6.30 p.m. at the Vicarage, Bridge.
Please come to whichever venue is the more convenient
to you. The adult class will begin at 7.30 p.m. on
Wednesday, November 20th at the Vicarage. Confirmation
is a response to a vocation. We all need to think
about our own Confirmation. When a person is con-’
firmed, he or she is ordained_into the Fourth Order,
but to many people who are confirmed this is forgotten
or never sufficiently emphasized. It is not an end,
but a beginning of something to be continued. We re-
ceived a spiritual power to persist in the Christian
life. I am afraid that we so often never let the
candidate for confirmation know what this power is V
for. It is not only to keep us out of temptation,
not only to face the problems of life, but also to
enable us to go from place to place with a sense of
direction and dynamic power behind. A sense of
direction comes with the inner knowledge of the
Guidance of God the Holy Spirit to fulfil His Will;
and the power behind with the inner assurance of the
love of God which seeks to use our lives to show forth
to the world His Glory and His Love. We as Christies

_ must go places and do things — in other words "to

daily increase.in God's Holy Spirit". You know, so
many of us are unaware of the Hallowing which we have
received. Think then upon your own Confirmation and
realize afresh the power that lies in you, and exploit
that power to God's ends. We can put the power to
work as evangelists, as servants of the Church. We
are called to become Christian witnesses just where
we are. Each of us has different and unique oppor-
tunities. How serious a thing it is to be a _
Christian, yet it is a way full of adventure and Joy.
