During this month you will be having your school holidays. The word "holiday" means Holy Day. The first holidays were always Saints Days or commemorated special days in our Lord's life, when work was stopped so as to an- able all to go to church and praise and thank God. God does not forget us, and is loving and caring for us wherever we are. So we must not forget Him for the lovely holidays He gives us, and the best way is to worship in His Church on Sundays. During this month of holiday the Simday School at Patriidaourne and the Junior Church at Bridge will be closed, the former commencing again on 13th September and the latter on.6th September. During holidays, if any children would like to come to any of our Services, one of the teachers will meet them at the porch» and sit with them. You would he most especially welcomepat the Family Service at 11 o'clock at Pan-ixbourne Church on August 9th. Please, parents, try and come with them. 1-} I1.’ I’?

I would like to have one further meeting, perhaps in late September, to discuss the Report on the Conversations on Anglo- Methodist unity, when we might formulate simply what view we take on this important subject. It is always difficult to find waysiand means to ascertain with absolute precision the views of the Church of England on any particular subject or question. The mind of the Church has to be sought on a wide basis, with laity as well as clergy of all kinds Playing a significant part. The Bishop of Peterborough at his Diocesan Conference recently spoke of the apathy of the laity towards ‘ re-union. I have now a small library on this question, including °°Dies of the Report, which I would gladly lend to any who are interested. I would also be most happy to discuss any particular point about which you may be doubtful. .3‘-UNI)/'iY SlCR.VlCli2() - /iU('iLJ.'J'i‘ 2nd August. ~ 10th £hin(l.'.1y after Trinity. 9th August - 11th Sunday after Trinity. 16th August — 12th Sunday after Trinity. 23rd August — 13th Sunday after Trinity. 30th Atgust - 14th Sunday after Trinity.

';-The keynote is in our prayer of thanksgiving, so many people are involved in the maintenance of our own life and in the pro- visionof food and clothing. In a simple meal we arein living touch with the lives of many people of different races and colour, who in their labour both in this country and in distant lands are providing us with the necessities for the continuance of life. Let us remember them in our prayers with thanksgiving. This is one of the rare years when St. Luke's Day falls on a Sunday, October 18th. In many dioceses it will be kept as Hospital Sunday. It is good to keep the Church's observance of St. Luke's-tide 36 a season for special prayer for medical work in general, for doctors, nurses and researchers, for hospitals here in our midst - The Close and Highland Court -— hospitals and infirrnaries in this country andin’ missionary diocese overseas. _ I feel that more emphasis should be placed on this annual observance. I hope too that we shall have in mind the Church's Ministry of Healing, which is directed towards a very important field of human need and Christian lvfinistry. Ipropose to preach on this subject at Evensong, at St. Peter's Church, Bridge on St. Luke's Day, Sunday 18th October. I do hope that many of you will be able to come to the service. During this month there will be a General Election. Inevitably a General Election is a battle for political power. One needs to be on; guard when power has to be competed for. We must not surrender our EW11 judgement to enticement by person, word, television or wireless.

All Saints‘ 33'. which falls on November 1st and like St. Lukexs Day! this year is on 9. Sunday, takes its own intimate and personfl appeal to Christian worshippers. as 9. commemoration of those who in a drziznatic end sacrificial Way had reflected the glory of Christ in their lives death. It serves" now to 2 great erntent as an occasion when all remeinber with thanks- giving their own loved ones and friends _who are now "with Christ". V "Saint" too is short for “smctified", and sanctified means “set apart" or "macie holy“. The special a saint then is that ‘of being clearly and noticeablydedicated to the service of God in Christ, in such 3 way that both the result3.nt'char_3.cte‘r,l achievement and bearing alike bear witness to God's transforming grace. We all, a } Christians and by our baptism, are ‘called tobecome such. * ' Yours sincerely in otunblessed Lord, y COLIN PE?‘-?Y ..— ‘Vicar, , . >.==tv‘->.=-V$i‘=$*islk‘-ti:##2##****=05**>l=*>i==i=>‘#****:********** A? ocressa, 1964’ 1st 'Z‘hm..

Secondly, we_ i are goingéto have a Christmas Market, beginning at 2. 30 p, m_ on Saturda , the 12th December, at Bridge'Village Hall, ’I'hirdly, we shall be holding :1 Twelfth Night Social on the 6th January. Please make a note of these dates, and come and give us youf support and help, and ask your friends to do the s2.me.;.~ More details asout the Christmas 1%/iarlzet will be given izzgthe December magazine. S‘undo..y, November the 29th; is Advent Sunday, the first day of the season in the Church's year which precedes Christmas. Like Lent, it is 2. time of preparation, and so, -while we prepare‘ for Christmas by n:akiz':.-'r.cakes, .puddi11g_s; a__nd:1'nince pies, and ‘by collecting the presents 2"; and cards to send away-to.our friends, it is a good thing to prepare ourselves for the coming of the Saviour. This is more than a good thing, it is our duty as Christians. ‘E ' Owing to the retirement of the Bishop of Dover I have not yet received a firm date for our next Confirmation. I do hope it will be earl}! in April. I would like to make preparations for instructional classes, and I would be glad to receive the names of those who are desirous of being confirmed. . Confirmation represents partof our full membership of the Church. While we rejoice that young people come forward at this time for preparation, I also appeal to adults who have not been confirmed to think carefully and prayerfully about the Challenge. Specia1“arr‘angements will be made for them, and Ihope that they will come forward without any sense of embarrassnent , but with a Slncere sense of the call of God. -Itwill indeed be a joy and a privilege to Prepare those who respond. - ' " C V. .

The total contributions for the two years ending 30th September. 1963 and 1964 :—~ 1963 1964 Free Will Otlering contributions £173 5 0 £137 12 10 Paynients for Parish Magazine 8 17 6 51 2 3 £182 2 6 £188 15 1 l~‘a_\'n'..-zni for the Parish Magazine was introduced in June, 1963. It was hoped" that the charge of_ only 3d. per copy would be paid in addition to the F.W.O. contributions. but Judging from the above figures it would seem that this hope has not been fulfilled. The 1964 total of £137 125. 10d. represents an average F.W.O. contribution of only 3 2d. per month. While it is realised that the scheme includes a number of pensioners and oiirrs who are not in a position to make large contributions to the Church. there is no doubt that the average figure of 3/2d. per month is vcoebilly inadequate. The Vicar and Churchwardens ask all those members of the Parish, both older residents and newer ones, who are interested in the welfare of their Church, seriously to consider increasing their periodical contributions and placing them upon a x;_ore regular basis. For this purpose the following modifications to the existing scheme are proposed. The accompanying slip (to be kindly returned to the respective Hon. Treasurers of the Pwrochial Church Councils) will enable parishioners to promise a regular wee1:l_\' aziount and can be returned to the magazine distributor or the Church collection plate or direct to the P.C.C. Treasurer. If anyone would like to have the amount recorded weekly and a receipt given at the end of the year, a number will be allocated by the Treasurer and only he will deal with this and know the amount contributed. There may be those who desire to continue with the position as it is, with the nsonthly envelope returnable to the magazine distributor. Please continue to do so, .3!‘ you prefer this zsethod, and make arrangements with the magazine distributor to ire the usual necessary envelope. For those who are subject to lncome Tax at the standard rate a Seven Year Covenant in favour of the P.C.C. is more advantageous, as the tax is recoverable in full by the Council. A Covenant can be paid quarterly, if desired. The Hon. Treasurer will be pleased to supply full particulars. Please complete and iietum this Form To : Mr. Charles Potter, Field House, Bridge.
