A5 a Cltristian, one’:-_a New Year begins on Advent Sunday — usually in December. As a tezicher or lecturer, ene'a New Year begins in September or October. As a tax payer, New Year starts in April. And the lewi.-ah New Year begins on €lnUll‘lt!f date, and the Mosiem New Year on another . . . and l have no doubt that’ there are plenty . more variations on the same theme. But must people will also accept January 1st as the start of the calendar New Year; and fur isnme people, January let 2001 is the true beginning of the third millennium. {Has anynne any fireworlcs left ?) Time makes a study which is as ta.-scinatiiig as epaice, and both are ten complicated for most of us to begin to unclersmind. Yet we know that they all fall within the wisdom of God who created them; and the Letter to the Cu-losesians puts it alt in perspective for us: ']e5u€-i is the image of the invisible God, the firr.~;t-tmrn uf all creatinn; for in him all things were created, in lieaven and on earth, visible .-mil invisible, whether thmnes or dominions or principalities nr autlmrities - all things were Created through him and for him‘ Col. 1, 15-16 Set against such cosmic power, how puny we so often seem to be, and how trivial nur daily wnrries and concerns. When we look at the prnblems‘ of the Church of England today, and wonder how we are going to remlvce questions of ministry, missiim and money, we might sometimes begin to feel that we cannot cape, and that we are in the early stages of terminal eccle:'~iia5tical decline. If we du so thinlx, it is because we have iwerlonlced the fact that God is the Lord of time and space — and the Lord of past, present and future. Perltzlps we do have problems to resolve - but that is why we are here. We are nn a journey, — and our purpnee is to fulfil the will of God fur each one nf us; and so we .-hhould not fear. if God is with us an the journey, as he must be — having made us for his purposes - we can be assured that he will not desert us, even when the going seems to be particularly tnugh. 50 £15 we stand at the threslield of at new calendar year, it is right that we :.-should lnesk ahead with confidence and hope; great changes lie ahead, and we lime to be ready to let go iii much that we have mine to regard as established and settled for all time, but we rnmre on in the strength of the faith of the church which has endured For two tlmusand years e and which will continue until mmikind no longer ttlllallltei the earth.

Jack and his MoTher (Charlie Lloyd-Hughes and Hannah Boyd—Jones ) puT on a sTerling show as did daisy The Cow (Emma Co|ThursT ), The Giam‘ (Joseph Kendall ) and The resT of The cast. Year six children were asked to do a review on the play as if they were critics for a paper. This is an example by James Bostock "Jack and the Beanstalk was a hilarious performance that kept me laughing and crying all through the show. It has some extremely well put together scenes and lines, not to mention the costumes. The actors were brilliant and there were many twists and turns in the tail but I enjoyed the " it's behind you!" part. Daisy the cow had me laughing and Jack was obviously following his brothers‘ footsteps. The music was also hilarious and I found it fun singing along....but no! I can't say too much. The scenery was great and I loved the way the beanstalk — no! I just can't tell you, you've got to see it yourself. Overall this has turned a simple old fairy tail into a hilarious pantomime". The upper juniors presented the Christmas Story in words and music. The singing and the readings were both of an exceptionally high standard. To end the four days of performing the children donned their costumes one last time to sing at the tea party hosted for the Senior Citizens of the Village. Our thanks go to all the teachers and staff who made it possible for everyone to enjoy these super festive performances. Last but not least was a visit by the whole school to the Theatre Royal Margate to see Dick Whittington, and once again a good time was had by all, (oh no it wasn't, oh yes it was, and so on....)

'-___.‘ '.‘r A U The Kent Downs — a Nationally Important Landscape Did you know that part of all of your parish falls within this ' nationally important landscape? The importance of your parish landscape was recognised in 1968 when the Kent Downs was formally designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). This landscape, which covers nearly a quarter of Kent and runs from Dover to the Surrey border, was considered as important as that of National Parks and Therefore worthy of protection. Designation as an AONB means; that the area could be subject to a stricter planning regime, would potentially receive some funding priority from the (now) Countryside Agency and has an AONB Unit working on its‘ behalf. The Kent Downs AONB Unit was set up in 1997 and aims to maximise funding opportunities for the area, monitor and guide change and provide advice where possible. The AONB Unit works with local people, landowners and many other partners to conserve and enhance the Kent Downs. If you would like to find out more about the AONB and how you could be involved contact the Unit at the address below: Kent Downs AONB Unit Invicta House Sessions Square Maidstone Kent _ ME14 IXX Tel: 01622 221522 Email: kentdowns@kent.gov.uk Outstancling l 5 ' Nal'urnl_ CANTERBURY CHORAL . SOCIETY ' LIOZ: L'Enfancc du Christ C‘ Saturday 20th January 2001 7.30 pm Canterbury Cathedral Canterbury Choral Society has flourished over the last 50 years and has a reputation as one of the finest choral societies in the South East of England. During its life it has attracted many distinguished visiting conductors including Sir Charles Groves, Sir Colin Davis and Sir David Wiilcocks. Since 1962 the Society has had two major Conductors Dr Allan Wicks and Dr Richard Cooke who have both contributed to its success. The 200 strong choir comprises members from all walks of life who are united by a love of singing, many of them dedicating much time to the administration of the Society. As the second concert of this 50th anniversary season Canterbury Choral Society have chosen Berlioz's L ‘Enfance du Christ. Hector Berlioz, a French composer, was born in 1803 and died in Paris in 1869. As the age of 13 he started his musical education, taking lessons in guitar, flute and singing but he never studied the piano as a child. Hector's father enrolled him in a Paris medical school in 1821 but inspired by attending operas in Paris he aban- doned medical school and wrote his Messe Soionneiie 1924. To make ends meet he took a job as a chorus singer at a Vaudeville Theatre. During this time he saw a performance of Romeo and Juliet and for him this was the greatest drama of his life. A true romantic the combination of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and the lead- ing lady Harriet Smithson, whom he eventually married, motivated him to compose his Symphonie Fantastique. Berlioz emerged as a master of origins! and brilliant orchestration. Berlioz composed L‘Enfance du Christ in I854. it is one of his most enchanting works and it includes a special concert played by 2 flutes and a harp. The oratorio has been described as a masterpiece of simplicity, the music is a delight and includes the much loved carol "Shepherd's Farewell". Soloists for the evening include Louise Mott who thrilled audiences when she appeared recently in Handel's Messiah for the Choral Society.

Obviously", I am going to say yes, but it does depend what you arousing the Bible for. Forieexample, we can t_i_-_ust that ]ohn's gospel description of the .1§1I11cifiXi0.n__ was $5.“ 938 Witness accountibut WE. _cannot_sziy the same about Moses’ _:explan;iti_on of-oreation in (3en-esi_s.- Archaeological evidence now points tflwardfi Joshua's -army capturing lerittho, butt-* there was no good samaritan "helping a stranger on the \sfey_fromIerusalen1, itgwas a parable. You see, the .Bible“is.'a_e collection of writings; some-letters, -some-poems, some tee.t.irnonies,' some historical iaccounts, somepmpheeies, or messages. from God. to use the Bible safely, you need to understand how each part was written. The apostle Paul said that'_"ell_ scripture-ei_s Godebreatlhed” but that does not mean that Wrote oil... but thatltliose who did write it were special people with a special relationship with God. They were inspi'red by their understanding of God to put in wordswhat they felt in" their hearts aboutfiod. _E-veqtthingrmust be read in context, and I would not suggest that you use the Bible by sticking-a pin randomly -inza .pagfe.and applying the text. You could end up with “then.]udas hanged himself" (Matthew 27:5) fit “go and do likewise" ‘(Luke .1?.€}:3?).i It is much safer to trusttlie authors -to tell us what they were up to. For example, Luke etarte 'l1i$-gQSp£3i‘.l§y'l£3a}?i¢lg thatlihe wanted to give: an orderly account of the life of Jesus so that liis friend" should believe what he had heard from others. The Old Testament prophets dated their messages by recording who H:|as.'ki'og fat the time an_dewh.ich year of hisoreign (you can't get more exact than t 'at!'). l Of course, -there are many versions‘ oflthe Bible around, someiohunjclreds of years old, others with the print hardly dry! But they are all doing the same t_hing.- They ttanslate. the 'o,riginal texts -into words that convey the original message to .a new; generation‘, o'r_a__ different cuitore, This -means that we have to trust the fI‘anSlflh.>IS.- or learn to read'G'reek_.e_a_i1'd Hebrew" forlourselves.

DISTRICT BRANCH 13 members were present at the January 2001 meeting held at the Recreation Club, Littlebourne, when Doug Fenn was in the Chair. The Chairman gave the Exhortation and the Silence was observed. We would like to send our good wishes to Robbie Ranscombe who is having continuing health problems. Also our Vice President, John Fox and Les Hogben who we understand were both well enough to spend Christmas at home with their families. You are all in our thoughts. This is always a quiet time of year for the Branch, in the aftermath of Christmas, but we are already making plans for our activities in the coming year. Some of you may be wondering whether we are having a Dinner this year - the answer is that we do hope to and, as this is the 80th Anniversary of the founding of the Branch, we hope to incorporate the Dinner in with our celebrations. We also hope to celebrate the anniversary in other ways as well. Dates and details to be announced. The Branch is also hoping to enter a team in the general knowledge quiz being held by Canterbury Branch in March. We hosted a Group meeting at the Plough 6: Harrow, Bridge on Monday, 8th Jan and this proved to be a very enjoyable evening. The next two Branch monthly meetings will be on: Tuesday, 13th February 2001 at the Recreation Club, Littlebourne at 8pm and Tuesday, 13th March 2001 at the Duke William, Ickham at 8pm.

In other words the club and clubhouse are different things, one being a group of people, the other a building. Well, the same thing applies to the church. Unfortunately, it gets confusing because the church meets in the church! When we refer to ‘The Church’ we are normally referring to the group of people, not the building. You could say that the church is the congregation, but this label suggests that we need a church building for the church to exist. Perhaps a better way of describing the church is as a community, or even an extended family. The early Christians referred to each other as ‘brothers and sisters’, emphasising the close relationship between fellow believers. "But, just like normal families, this spiritual family has its internal tensions, with arguments and sulks, even family members leaving home vowing never to return. In the church, this has led to a lar e number of denominations, the best known being Roman Catho ic, Anglican (C of E), Baptist and Methodist. Each denomination is like a brother or sister that has fallen out with their siblings, but still identifies themselves as part of the Family. All major denominations have different views on the interpretation and application of the Christian Faith, but recognise that, behind the differences, we all believe in the same God, in the need for his intervention in our lives and the benefits of his Son's death on the cross for our sake. - But more about ghat next month.

CANT ERBURV CHORAL SOCIETY VERDI: Stabat Mater and Te Deum ROSSINI: Stabat Mater Saturday 31st March 2001 7.30 pm Canterbury Cathedral When planning the Choral Society's 50th Season Richard Cooke chose an Italian evening with choral music from two of Italy's most famous composers. This year is the centenary of Verdi's death and Stabat Materand Te Deum were his last com sitions rior to his death in 1901. They are part of Quar- rra Pezzi Sacri. he .5ta f/Mater Isa one movement piece with soaring melodic lines reflecti the words of the poem, probably written by a Fran- ciscan Monk in the 13t century, The Te Deum isscored for double choir and is rich in texture. Verdi is to Opera what Shakespeare is to Drama. As with man famous composers, his early works were rejected and it was not until 183 in Milan that his Oberfowas accepted at La Scale and further operas commissioned. He wrote Nabucco in 1842 and this carried his reputation across Italy, Europe and the New World. Three of his most well known operas Rfiqalerto, II frovafare andLa tray.-‘araare sun in all the major opera houses of the world. With the dark drama of the firs , the heroics of the second and the grace and pathos of the third, Verdi shows his extraordinarily wide expressive range. Rossini occupied an unrivalled position in the Italian Musical world, winning considerable success relatively earl in his career. As with Verdi his 0 ms which include The Italian Girl in A giers, The Thie ving Magpie and ill/‘am Tell are also popular in the too ‘or opera houses. More s: nificantly the overtures to hese, especially illiarn Tell are a recurren element in the repertoire of the concert ha i. Rossini wrote William Tellat the age of 37 but then ver little of importance until Sfabat Mater. This is in great contrast to erdi's setting and consists of ten movements. At the time Rossini '5 theatrical lan uage led it to being regarded as too worldly, too sensuous and too playful or a religious subject. is may have been true at the time but in this oratorio can be found some of Rossini ' s most effective writing.

School News February heralded the long awaited start to the building work, replac- ing the many mobile classrooms to something a little warmer and more permanent. We are going to be in for a very exciting time, but also a very difficult one for everybody until the project is completed in October. Until then we shall all have to adjust to the upheaval and inconvenience and ask all who visit the school to be most careful. We will keep you up—to-date with the building work as it progresses. On 1st February Years 5 and 6 listened to a talk from the Ordnance Survey Team. This was of great interest to the children with the highlight of the afternoon being a full size hot air balloon being inflated on the playground. Needless to say this held great interest for the whole school who watched this fascinating experience at close range. Our congratulations must go to Mr Birrell, our Year 2/ 3 teacher, who has recently been awarded the Sports Teacher of the Vear Award by the Sports Advisory Council for his achievements in sports activities with the pupils. I think we all agree that this is quite an accolade for both Mr Birrell and the school. Congratulations must also go to Mrs Murrell who will be taking up the position of Headteacher at Barham School from Easter. She has been with the school for 8 years and will be greatly missed. The last day before half-term was a non—uniform day for all the pupils. This gives the children the chance to wear their own clothes to school in exchange for a donation to charity, and in light of the recent earthquake in India it was decided that the money raised, £360, should be given to the India appeal. Lastly an ‘ Artist in Residence‘ come into the school to work with the upper juniors, it was a great experience and a wonderful time was had by all. The school would like to send its sympathies to anybody who has been affected by the recent flooding and hope that in the next few weeks we see a little less rain and a little more sun.

Jesus, who entered Jerusa em at the head of a procession proclaiming him to be the long awaited Messiah, was betrayed by the same people less than a week later. His own countrymen handed him over to the occupying Romans to he crucitlied as e troubl-emeker. J But did Jesus knolw what would he pen when, instead of leading a revolt that would drive the R-omens In Jerusalem, he drove the crowds from the temple and set himself up against the Jewish Priests and Pharisees? Did his promising 3 years of teaching have to end on a cross outside the wells of Jerusalem? The straight answer is YES! If only the people had read what ancient prophecies had said, not what they wanted to read, they would have seen that the Messiah would function as a sacrifice. if only the disciples had listened to Jesus when he taught them, the ' would have realised that he always worked towards the goal of dealt in Jerusalem. And if only we would read the gospels and letters of the early church,_ we would understand that the death of Jesus paid the price to clear our massive ove.rd.r.alt, built upby rnanlcind ever since our original decision to become spiritually independent from God. On the cross, Jesus said ‘ills finished’. he meant that his task, the rescue of mankind from the debts of sin, was complete - mission accornplishedt That's why we call it Good Friday. But freedom from the guilt of sins is not the end of the story. On the third da (Easter Sunday), Jesus fulfilled another prophecy by rising lironrt t e clead, Next month. we will explore the resurrection and its implications for our future, here on earth and eternally. Until then, may God bless you and those you love. Pt‘-M21.

Margaret Clarke (rnunchkin) TENEBREA - Maundy Thursday (12th April) 7.30pm at Bridge School Tenebrae is an informal service in remembrance of the Betrayal, Arrest and Crucifiction of Christ. A simple meal of soup, bread, cheese and fruit is followed by communion within a Hebrew setting. A series of Gospel passages are read as candles are extinguished one-by—one. Finally we leave in darkness and silence reflecting on God's love shown to us by the death of his Son.

Anyone wishing to buy an Easter Lily, please contact Viv Brasier - 830981. The cost this year will be about £2.00 each. Decorating St. Peter's, Bridge will start at 10.00am on Saturday 14th April. All help greatly appreciated, especially any newcomers who think they may like to do the “odd arrangement" during the year. Sadly our numbers are falling on the rota, and a few extra people are desperately needed — so please do pop in, have a chat, and see if you can help.

So many groups were praying for little Charles whose life was hanging on by a thread - the power of prayer is wonderful! Charles is such a lively, bubbly little boy now and we thank God for his wonderful recovery. Do feel free to phone or call around with any requests to be included on our prayer list. Names do not have to be revealed and situations can be prayed for. God knows the requests without us having to say names but he needs our petitions. Please feel free to join us — we are just a few of the congregation who feel the need to pray corporately for those who are ill, depressed or bereaved and need support. Kath Pierce 830844 George Maben-Mead Ugate Jill Maben-Mead has sent another E Mail on George's progress, for who so many friends raised money for his life-saving trip to Melbourne last October and prayed continually for the family through their crisis. The latest news is too long to re-produce in full but the following extracts pinpoint George's great improvement: "He is doing great! He still has no seizures at all he spent 3 days in Great Ormond Street Hospital at the end of January He no longer has the Diabetes Insipidue (DI) and his sodium was normal, hurrah! This is such great news, and means that the only real side effect from the surgery is now gone! In himself George is great and showing ever improving concentration and showing much more interest in things It is so great to be free of the seizures and to feel cut loose from the threat of them worsening we cannot thank or praise the Melbourne team enough for their pioneering work, and specifically their wonderful care of George". With love Jill, Rob, George and Lola, Kath Pierce T e riends o Bekesbourne Church WINE <3: WISDOM EVENING A really splendid time was had by all who took part in this Evening. We had a full house to face the varied and challenging questions so ably presented by Brian and Jenny. A tremen- dous amount of hard work goes into researching and preparing a wide range of questions, which have to challenge but not demoralise the eager participants, and all there would agree that this was their best ever - thank you both very much! All their hard work was well reqarded by raising £348 for our funds, and we do thank all those who came to support us. FA5l—-IIONS dz FIZZ We now invite you to something different!

Bridge School News Building work on the new teaching block has now been going for 3 weeks and good progress is being made. Children in the lower juniors are making good use of the experience by keeping a working log of the building process. This can be seen in the entrance, together with photographs of each stage of the work. A new tempo- rary hard playground has been laid so that outdoor activities can continue. During half term the children were asked to design a poster to advertise the importance of safety near and around a building site. This was Judged by site manager Mr R. Hills and prizes were awarded to Anna Nicholls—Pike and Jake Jones in Key Stage 1. Harriet Bates and William Walsh in lower Key Stage 2 and Meg Shirley and Sophie Pritchard in upper Key Stage 2. It has been decided that it would be a nice idea to bury a time capsule containing a variety of items representing the school in the twenty first century for future generations to discover under the new buitding. A group of children from year two were invited to Methven's bookshop to mark World Book Day. They were asked to colour in a pair of‘ the Queens Knickers ' as written about in a book by the author Nick Allen. The winner Kathrine Beeching won a signed copy of a book by the same author. Children from the Junior art club visited the Cathedral to gain ideas for their entries into a national competition to be judged by representatives of the Tate Modern. Recently, years 5 and 6 spent an enjoyable time listening to a variety of guitar music performed by a group from Christ Church Coilege. Both children and staff marked Red Nose Day with a non-uniform day for which they contributed to the appeal and came to school in red clothes. There was also a cake sale and games to play, organised by the children themselves. Matthew Townsend and Luke Samarasinghe, who both play for the Canterbury Hockey Clubs under lls A team won silver medals after the final went to a penalty shoot out. Our congratulations go to them both. Rehearsals are now in full swing for ‘ The Rocky Monster Show‘, a musicai comedy to be performed in the first week of April by upper juniors- Further details are available from the school. Here's to a good time.

The number of responses received totalled 45 of which 10 were not interested and 35 (representing 55 people) expressed some interest. Cllr Corfield had received 10 e- mail responses, some offering help. As the response represented less than 4% of electors it was agreed not to proceed with a communication, learning and information centre. Other possible means of providing learning support for those parishioners interested could be provided via a course using laptops or with volunteers using available equipment within the village and it was reported that a computer room is planned for the school and this could possibly provide a venue. It was agreed to review these options at a later date. Cllr Connor thanked Cllr Vye and Julian Brazier for investigating the opportunities for raising money for the project and the chairman thanked Cllr Connor for all the hard work he had done. Replacement of Post Office Bench: The parish council has agreed on the design of the replacement bench and an order has been placed. Red Lion Public House: .It was reported by the chairman that the Red Lion has suffered sewage problems and loss of business and is currently unable to trade. It was also reported that Southern Water are currently pumping raw sewage into the Nailboume. The parish council will be writing to Southern Water and Offwat expressing concern over the loss of the amenity to the community and the pumping of sewage into the Nailbourne. Recreation Ground: Treatment of mole infestation has been carried out and the Springer Units in the playground are to be repaired free of charge by the supplier. Streets and footways: Several matters have been reported to the City Council including an SEGB sunken metal cover in Union Road, broken grill near the bridge, repeated litter gathering around the paper and bottle banks in Town Hill, blocked drains in Patrixbourne Road and Union Road and a burnt out car in Brewery Lane. Memorial Bench: The memorial bench in memory of Mr & Mrs P E Worsley formerly of 11 Ford Close has now been installed on the land adjacent to Ford Close. Vandalism: The seat east of the bridge has been removed and put in the stream and the Environment Agency removed it on the same day it was reported. The seat is to be repaired and resited. Planning Applications: Applications received: The following planning applications have been received and have been commented upon by the planning sub—comrnittee: CAJO 1/01 19/BRI — first floor side extension to dwelling and single storey extension to rear of garage at 65 Riverside Close, Bridge.

By definition, an atheist is someone who does not believe in God. But does such a erson exist? You may not believe in God as expressed within C ristianity; or any other ‘religion’ for that matter. You may not think in terms of divine or supernatural wer having an influence on your life or count yourself as aving ’blind faith’. But what is faith? The Bible defines faith as ‘being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.’ How many people who claim to have no belief or faith wear lucky charms, or read their horoscope or tarot cards. How many self reliant people try out Fang Sh.ui 'just for a lau h’, or play the lottery because ‘It could be you’, that the finger o fate points to this week? Everyone believes in something that cannot be proved scientifically — even those who put their faith in Evolution. So does God believe in Atheists? In its broadest sense, the answer must be no! There is no such person because everyone believes and trusts in some ‘god’ or other. On the other hand, God does believe in people who think they're Atheists - just as much as he believes in everyone who believes in him. Luckily his existence does not rely on our acknowledgement.

' Now, on the subject of the Summer Show, it will take place this year on Saturday 28 July in the School Hall in Bridge and show schedules will be available shortly from the Show Secretary‘ Mrs Joan Stingemore (tel: 830763). Watch out for more details. 4 Kathy Welder BRIDGE SCHOOL NEW§ At last it looks like summer has arrived, so let's hope that we are all able to enjoy it. All year groups will be going on summer outings ranging from visits to the coast to a week in Weston~ Super- Mare for the year six's. We will have reports on how they went in next month's magazine. The school is pleased to announce that it has gained two awards. Firstly it has been awarded a School Achievement Award - this is an awarded to schools who have achieved a high standard compared to other similar schools. Secondly an Assessor came to interview several of the teachers and was delighted with both what he saw and heard. Conse- quently on the last day of term we were officially informed that we have been awarded investor in People status. This is a worrying time for all parents who have children starting school in September as to whether they have got a place at their local school so we are pleased to say that all the local children who applied for a place have been accepted. In total 51 children will start in September although some will be part time until Christmas. We have also admitted four older pupils who have moved to the area. To keep you updated on the progress of the new building we are pleased to say that it is still ahead of schedule. Mr Hills, the Site Manager, has taken groups of six pupils at a time around the building site and explained what is happening . The children have found this very interesting. The roof is almost on and we can now see how our new building is going to look — it is most impressive. . Now to news from the P. F. A. As we are sure you are aware because of the building work we are unable to have a summer fete of the same magnitude as in previous years. We are holding a Summer Fayre on Friday 22nd June from 1.30pm — 3.30pm. All are welcome to join in the fun and all profits will be going to the school. All donations will be gratefully received especially PLANTS, BOOKS, TOYS, BOTTLES AND STATIONERY. To arrange collection please ring 832084 or 831027. There is also a musical evening to be held at the school on 13th July. This will also include children‘s an exhibition. Please come along and support the talents of our, and in some cases your, children. FLOWERS The Bridge Parish Council are thinking of reviving what was known, as the annual village hanging basket and, or planter display. This competition was open to all parishioners in Bridge and separate from the shield awarded to commercial premises. The displays therefore need to be situated at the front of the building, to enable a panel of judges to discretely select the prize winners. Judging is anticipated to take place about the middle of July, so be prepared. Further details will be published shortly.

(‘in the last day of her visit, the friend tripped on the stairs and sprained her ankle. A bag of frozen peas did the trick and she was soon on her way back to the US. of A. Imagine my colleague-‘s surprise when, instead of a letter of thanks for her hospitality, she received an official notice suing her for negligence! Only in Anierica-, you might say; it couldn't happen here, you might think. Wrong! The current catch phrase in TV adverts is "where there's blame, there's a claim”. Nothing personal of course, the Ainerican friend couldn't see what all the fuss was about. After all, it was covered by the house insurance. The issue that concerns me here is the idea that money makes everything all right again, either for the claimant or the offender. One advert shows a boy who has to wear glasses for life following a playground acciclent, but hey — that's ok, he got £5000 for it! That's not to say that compensation is wrong, in fact it is a biblical principle. ‘An eye for an eye’ regulated Old Testament reparation to make sure that payment for injury compensated for the damage or inconvenience caused. Note, compensation, not revenge. An eye for an eye, not two eyes for an eye. The thouglit of cashing in when someone else is negligent may seem attractive, but what if the boot is on the other Foot, and we are the negligent ones? Do we readily admit the blame, and pay the claim? Do we say sorry because of the damage we have caused, or as an attempt to shield us from pumshmen t? Biblical repentance involves contrition (true sadness at having done something wrong) and reparation (an attempt to make amends) leadin to forgiveness (wipiiig the slate clean) and reconciliation (repairing bro ‘en relationships). Ironically, the Bible also implores us to make amends before it gets to court, because en forced reparation rarely leads to true forgiveness. Next month we'll explore our relationship with God, and what ha ens when he has a claim a ainst us!

Jane Millyard Repairs to Bekesbourne Church Observant visitors to Bekesbourne Church will have noticed that the weathervane, replaced during the maintenance work 18 months ago, was blown crooked and the tower roof damaged during winter gales. Repairs, which require scaffolding to be erected, will be carried out in July. The maintenance project begun in 1999 will be completed with the replastering and decorating of the Vestry. We had expected all this to be finished by now, but the plaster is taking longer to dry than expected and the Vestry may remain out of use until late in the summer. J one Millyard The Bells Have you ever thought about learning to ring church bells or once did and want to ring again ? now is your chance. St Peters Church Bekesbourne is going to have the tower open Satur- day 7th July 10am-12 midday for any one aged over 10 years old to come along and have a go. There will be experienced ringers (Campanologists) on hand to help and a band of ringers to demonstrate different methods of ringing. Monday is practice night at Bekesbourne 730- 9.00pm. Lifts there can be arranged. There is also an organisation, The Kent County Association Of Change Ringers which was formed in 1880 who meet regularly, organise ringing schools, ringing competitions, outings to different towers and have fund raising events for the Bell Restoration Fund.

I am grateful to the loyal group of helpers who come forward every year, and also to those who stepped in at the last minute to help achieve this marvellous result. For donors who completed the details on the envelope signifying that they are taxpayers, their gift is worth another 30% to the charity. Christian Aid is involved in so many projects throughout the world, responding to requests for aid following disasters, such as in India after the earthquake earlier this year, or in Afganistan where the worst drought for 20 years is following on from a crippling civil war and people are suffering terrible hardship. The aid is provided for communities to become self sufficient too, not just on an emergency basis, to help pave the way for a fairer world. Thank you for your contribution. Christine Hoare flgygroup This year has been a really good one for the Playgroup. Over 35 children have attended and an extra session for those children starting school in Sept was added on Wednesdays. Visitors included a Dentist, a Policeman and the Vicar .The annual visit to the lambs was unfortu- nately cancelled due to ‘Foot & Mouth’ although a visit to the Fire Station was thoroughly enjoyed by the children, staff and parents! Cultural Celebration Days included Chinese New Year, St Andrew's day, ' St Patrick's clay etc. Highlights of the year included the Christmas nativity play, the Christmas party and the Easter bonnet coffee morning- Fundraising was well supported and earned extra money to be spent on more toys and books for the children. Sadly Mrs Webb, founder of the playgroup, died recently ~—she had only retired last year but had kept a keen interest in the children~she will be missed- The committee and staff would like to thank the parents/carers etc and all who have helped support the playgroup. a special thank you must go to the staff—Mary Daw, Beth Goff and Francina Burton— who work very hard and are very much appreciated and loved by the children.

Imagine you write off your best friend's car; something really expensive and treasured will do the trick. Oh, and y0u’re not insured! What happens now if you cannot afford to pay for the damage? However good a friend they are, you cazft simply forget it ~ the car needs replacing. What happens if your friend said ”l can see you are very sorry to have done it, and that you cannot hope to make amends by replacing it. Never mind, your friendship means so much to me that l’m_ going to give you the money to buy me a new one". Well that, in a nutshell, is what God did through the life death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ. Through our selfish human behaviour we have effectively "written off our relationship with God. This priceless possession required a. priceless sacrifice to make amends, and through the death of Christ on the cross, our relationship with God has been repaired, restored and ro_newed.. Unlike human relationships that will always bear the scars of past hurts, even after we have forgiven each other, God's forgiveness is such that he chooses to forget we ever did anything wrong‘ in the words of my favourite hymn of the monientg Because the sinless Saviour died My sinful soul is counted free For God the just is oatisfied To look on him and pardon me. May God continue to bless you and all those you love.

A Letter From Iain Taylor To all my friends in the Bridge Benefice I am grateful to Paul for allowing me a little space in your Parish magazines this month in order to express my heartfelt appreciation to you all for the really warm Christian welcome you gave to me on my 12 week Placement with you. I was made to feel at home in each of the five churches and have been given much encoura ement across the benefice. This has meant so much to me and I have een able to Eartici ate in many spheres of parish activity, both in terms of wars ip on social events, both of which have contributed towards broadening my concept of parochial ministry. I was greatly touched by the resentation of the Book Taken at the Parochial Church Council at ridge recentl . Thank you very much indeed. I shall always remember my Paris Placement with much pleasure. My wife has been most conscious of the friendly welcome she as been given on the occasions when she has been able to accompany me on my visits. We both wish you all well for the future and assure you of an occasional visit when opportunity permits. Yours in Christ: lain Taylor, OLM Student TRIE Campaign 2001 — The Responsibility is Everyone‘: At a recent meeting of the Parochial Church Council I reported that after much preparation work, details of this year's campaign were circulated to about 280 families in the parish of Patrixbourne with Bridge but, sadly, the response was not very encouraging. To date only 22 replies, about 8%, have been received and these comprised some £575 in donations and £781 per annum in new or increased ongoing commitments. Losses from the planned giving scheme do occur every year by virtue of death or moving away and figures show that, in terms of income, the parish is more or less standing still. The amount now being received from regular planned giving is roughly the some as it was in 1997 and in no way meets the outgoings. Central bodies‘ (the Church Commissioners and the Diocese) levy on the parish for 2001 amounts to £24,000 which goes to pay the vicar's stipend, housing, pension, etc., while our two churches need a further £16,000 to meet local costs of repairs, insurance, heating, lighting and the vicar’: working expenses! etc. Our present planned giving income amounts to just over £14,000 and we can reclaim tax of about £4,000 from the Inland Revenue on that giving. 50 there is a gap - a serious gap. Fund raising events, which have to be organised and run by a small committee, and Sunday collections, together with individual donations, are being more and more relied on to make the books balance. But there is a limit to these resources and so we look to such campaigns as TRIE for support. The churches in our two villages are there for everyone to use and many of our villagers do use them at some time or other, either directly or indirectly. If your reply is still on the mantelpiece please return it as soon as possible, or contact me if the papers have been mislaid. THE RESPONSIBILITY IS EVERVONE '5.

Bridge School News Well can you believe it we have reached the end of yet another school year. A lot has been happening throughout the last half term with both children and staff being kept very busy. There have been frips out . . . . to Folkestone, Canterbury (to visit the cathedral, the ‘big dig‘ and 'Canterbury Tales‘ and this all in one day), Dover Castle and Tyland Barn. The year 6 pupils have recently returned from a week long trip to Weston-Super~Mare. They were more than happy to recount their adventures to their parents, at the school, one evening after they returned. It is now safe to enter Somerset! There have been treats in. . . . . for years 1 and 2, (5—7yr olds), African drummers and dancers visited the school and the pupils made African artefacts and tried painting in the African style. There have been many successes. On the sports field ..... .. the school entered teams in the Kwik Cricket tournament at the Polo Farm. The 'A' team won for the second year running. The school has also run 'potted sports‘ days for both the infants and juniors. On the creative side. . . . . Safeway's ran a competition to design a pizza. Bridge pupils entered and Georgina Bates designed the winning pizza. The prize Georgina received was to have her design made in to real pizza..... and there’: more. . . _ . under the inspirational leadership of Mrs Clubb 6: Mrs Dover ‘Bridge School Arts Club‘ entered a national art competition, submitting two reliefs made from plaster of Paris. The first was a depiction of the Christ Church Gate in Canterbury, the second showed pilgrims with the cathedral subtly outlined in the background. Thirty five thousand children took part and the Bridge entry won! Mrs Clubb, Mrs Dover and three pupils went to the Tate Modern, in London, to collect the prize..... talking of art. the school run its first art exhibition, featuring exhibits from pupils in the style of Van Goch, Monet and Jackson Pollock to name but three. and more. . . . . on Friday 13th July the school hosted an art and music festival culminating in an evening of music. A varied musical fair included: Mrs Ord playing Bartok folk dances on the violin: Mr Boughton (our site manager) played his euphonium; the Whitstable Community College Jazz Band; the Snowdown Colliery Brass Band lead by Mr Pritchard (trumpet) and featuring Mrs Pritchard on drums, (what a cool muml). The school were well represented by the guitar, woodwind and brass groups performed by pupils who are taking lessons at the school. The years 3 &4 choir performed extracts from a musical highlighting the plight of the rain forests. And finally comes the new '5 Club 7’, perhaps they should be called the "Pam Clubb 9", teachers/LSAs each and every one, with their rendition of 'On|y You‘ complete with ‘a capella' finale. Thank you Mr Corfield and Mr Lane for a splendid evening‘s entertainment, which hopefully will encourage more pupils to take up music in some form. and professionally. . . . . the school hosted a conference for the Early Childhood Organisation, (ECHO), and was justifiably praised for the displays around the school including the art mentioned above. Finally our warmest thanks for the dedication of all the staff especially those who will be leaving this summer: Mrs Bradley who is to teach with her husband in the middle east: Mrs Smith who is to spend more time with her young family: Mr Birrell who will be teaching in Ramsgate from September. The school welcomes five new members of staff, including Mr Clark our new Assistant Head Teacher. The Friends of Bekesbourne Church Our CHURCi-{YARD WORKING PARTIES have been very successful and as a result the appearance of the Churchyard is much improved. We are very grateful to those who come along and work so hard.

This is clearl not what the Bible tells us that God expects of his worshipping P80 9'. P When the people of Israel worshipped God on the one hand but rejected justice and righteousness on the other, he said; “I hate, I des ise your religious feasts; I cannot stand your assemblies. Even thou it you ring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" And Jesus, observing the two—faced behaviour of the religious leaders who acted piously in public worship, but lived unholy lives in private, said ”lsaiah was right when he prophesied about you hy ocrites: as it is written: ‘These people honour me with their lips, but their earts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.’ You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." 5 In contrast, to truly worship God we must sacrifice our own needs and desires and offer ourselves to do God's will. As Paul wrote; "I urge you, friends, in View of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship." At the end of the communion service we pray; ”Send us out in the power of your Spirit, to live and work. to (your praise and glory." Let us remember that God commissions, equips an motivates us when we return to our every day lives; at all times and in all places; whether at work, rest, or play; to be living sacrifices in his service. May God continue to bless you and all those you love.

I have luund myssell comparing the video footage from New York with the special effects dished up by Hollywood in films; such as Die Hard, Godzilla or independence Day. l have strugglcc! to come to tern-is with the numbers involved - estimates of ‘lO,Ut}0+ dead. And we saw it live rm TV thuusands of miles away. By the time you read this, the dust would have literally settled, but what has happened in the mean time? I lmpc that President Bush's promise at justice has not, and will not, turn into a call for revenge. As we see from around the ‘Wm'lCl',_, and experience within our own lives, revenge tends to be unmeasured, indiscriminate and unjust. It invariably escalates the conflict, and leads to more sufferin for nncsre innocent people. 1 have seen film oi Palestinian cl ilcl:-en dancing in the streets, and heard talk of Afghanistan being attacked because one outlaw lives there. Do Palestinian children understand what is going on, any more than those kids in Northern Ireland being made to run the gauntlet every morning? I think not. Should we wage -war on a country because of the (suspected) acticms of one man? I pray to God that we don't". Jesus said “turn the other check”. This does nut mean that criminals should be left unpunishecl, but it does take away any perceived right in retaliation. You might think that “an eye for an eye" is a more useful quote, but would you murder 10,000 innocent civilians in cold blood to balance what happened in America? llmpe not. Perhaps the shock of this tragedy will carve in slew reacti-ans down, to stop us from lashing out in blind fury. There will came a time for justice, there will come a time for forgiveness and peace. We can Cl‘l(.'.l~05t.' to hasten that time thmugh our attitudes and our prayers for the victims of injuivsticcs. Pleaase think about it. May God continue to bless you and all tlmse you love.

Strong language when you think of others who attract this label by their extreme behaviour and beliefs. But what is a fundamentalist? Look at your car (or your neighbour's if you don't have one). What makes it a car? Certain features such as an engine, a wheel in each corner (and one for steering) and the ability to carry passengers are ‘Fundamental’ to it being seen as a car. Other details, such as alloy wheels, leather trim, or CD player are all extras rather than essentials, and diesel or petrol engines or manual/automatic gears are important individual choices, but do not change the car to a bike, or a lorry, or a lawnmower. Christianity also has its fundamentals, features that are non-negotiable if the faith is to remain recognisable. We summarise them in statements of belief, the creeds (credo = I believe). The Apostles’ Creed is a clear statement of essential christian truths. Through it we declare our belief in a creator God, a saviour for all mankind, born of a virgin, executed by order of a Roman Governor, and resurrected from death. God continues to work through his Holy Spirit, and we have the assurance of forgiveness of sins and resurrection to eternal life. These are the Fundamental underpinning beliefs of the christian faith, and other issues such as styles of worship, types of music, choice of bible translation are no more than a matter of personal preference. So, in answer to the original question, as I stand by the beliefs set out in the creeds - the answer must be - Yes - I am a fundamentalist! May God continue to bless you and all those you love.

Browsing through the toy department of 21 Canterbury store yesterday took me back to a time when the children were very young. Everything was big and bright; play kitchens complete with glowing hobs and pots 8:: ans, or fantasy castles with secret rooms and dragons lairs. Perhaps the rightesl: things were the boxes they came in. On more than one occasion, after carefully‘ selecting the present to eclipse all other presents, the girls would open it and spend all of Christmas Day playing with the box rather than the contents! Soinetimes I think we can make the same mistake with the meaning of Christmas. Our expectations are high, for peace on Earth and goodwill to all men. The time and effort spent on choosing presents, writing cards, "planning parties (and carol services) adds to the growing excitement as the day grows nearer. The anticipation of family" gatherings, mulled wine, that new pair of slippers, or perhaps a ticket to see Lord of the Rings (not that I'm hinting at all girls) keeps Christmas in our minds as the nights draw in and the heating comes on. Come the day itself, what will we be celebrating? Do we see all the celebrations as an end in themselves, or a means to a greater, more significant end? [)0 we rip open the Christmas wtrappings to get to the box, or the thing inside? At Christmas we celebrate that God. came to earth as a vulnerable baby, born in a humble stable and destined to die sacrificially on a cross, so that we can experience true peace, true joy and a restored relationship with each other, and with God. Enjoy the wrappings, but don't forget to open the box! May God continue to bless you and all those you love. 9’au[ Your Parish Matters Eunerals o9/11/o1 Barham(Bridge) He|enMThornhil| 14/11/o1 Barham (Bridge) lleginald.-TNean1e 19/11/01 Barham(Bekesbourne) CharlesFCarreck Confirmation zooe . * Contact Paul Filmer (830250) for information about our Spring 2002conFirrnation course.

Kathy Walder Eop,oy_A.op.e_a_| As Honorary Poppy A peal Organiser for Bridge, Patrixbourne and Bishopsbourne, I 5 mil like to thank my wonderful team of collectors, to- gether with our generous donors for the magnificent sum of £1,484, given this year. As this record total included the £170 Church collection, it would be appro- priate to thank the Vi car and congregation for that superb offering. Doubtless you will have read about the British Legion's ever increasing dif- ficulties in maintaining an adequate financial basis from which to fund its many commitments. Consequently, our annual collections do have to show a constant increase, and this we have managed to achieve each successive year. Thank you all so much.

There were 144 exhibits from 66 artists plus the disp ays from the School, the Playgroup and Woodpeckersi We estimate that there were sev- eral hundred visitors and many came back for a further look. The comments were all so favourable that we have decided to run it again next Autumn. The success is all down to the artists and their hard work and we want to thank them for their su port and to encoura e them to g‘et working, ready for next year. Thanks a so to all those who he ped hang t eexhibits, stew— ard andfprovide refreshments durin the day. Whilst it was not the main reason or having the Exhibition we id raise over £200 for the Disabled Access Fund. We had several requests to include more craft work and whilst we would not have had the space this time, it does raise the possibility of having an Arts and Crafts exhibition in the Spring. If there is sufficient interest we would like to try that. If you live or work in Bridge or nearby and would be interested in showing your craft work, whether it be furniture, toys, jewellery, weaving etc., please contact John Corfield on 830976.

In the Silence those present remembered Basil Stir-ton, a past Branch Chairman and a great friend who had passed away. ' President, Oswin Kent, said that he was proud of the Brahcl1"s achieve- ment in reaching its 80th Anniversary and felt sure that it would be flourishing when the 100th Anniversary occurred too, but that success was due to the support of its members and officers. He thanked the Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary for their work. Chairman, Doug Penn, commended the members on the excellent turnout at the 31st August parade which he felt had brought the Legion to the fore locally. He also wished the Branch every success in the coming year. The Treasurer and the Service Committee Chairman gave reports. A proposal was put forward that in future the Branch holds all its monthly meetings at the Recreation Club, Littlebourne instead of going to various venues on a rota basis. This was carried by 24 to 4. The meeting thanked the Steward for making us welcome there. The Branch held its annual Parade and Service on Sunday, 11th Novem- ber at Ickham Church. Standard Bearer, Toln Perry, was well supported by Branch members and colour parties and members of the Littlebourne Scouts, Guides, Cubs and Brownies. The Silence was observed at the War Memorial and a wreath was laid by the_Presldent, Oswin Kent. Afterwards the parade marched into church. The service was con- ducted by Branch Padre The Revd John Allen and the lesson was read by Oswin Kent. 12 members attended the November monthly meeting held at the Plough di Harrow, Bridge when Doug Fenn was in the Chair.
