TEAM CURATE’S LETTER
New year, new life, new hope...
Happy New Year! I hope you’re all recovering from the Christmas feast and that you’ve made lots of
resolutions for a fresh and healthy life in 2012.
Looking back over 2011 is not altogether a cheering retrospective. We’ve seen all sorts of violence and
horror around the world. We’ve seen the effects of corporate and individual greed and selfishness
breaking out on our streets in rioting and looting, and protests that gradually turned into what felt like
threats to our peace and stability. In our individual lives, I hope that things have been calmer; but we all
face distressing events in our human lives – all of us.
There is always hope, though. I have never forgotten an experience I had years ago as a teacher when I
was on a course. I went to what is now High Cross in Leicester to photograph the ground being prepared
for the building of The Shires. In digging down to make the foundations, the builders found Medieval
and Roman artefacts, and archaeologists came to explore and record them. Fascinating...
But what was even more amazing was that suddenly plants appeared on the banking there which hadn’t
been seen in this country for 500 years. People from the natural History Museum came to examine and
collect them. Their seeds had lain dormant in the earth until the builders dug down and produced
conditions which were right for them to germinate and grow.
It had been a long time since those tiny seeds had felt the sunlight and the rain! As soon as they did, they
burst into life. They have been for me ever since a symbol of the hope that is at the heart of my faith in
God. However dark the days, however unpromising the ground, the seeds of the Kingdom of God are
always there in each and every one of us. All they need to grow, flower and bring forth fruit gloriously is
for the right conditions to prevail.
We have a new start every day, a chance to create the right conditions for fulfilling, fruitful growth. Each
morning is an opportunity to revise ourselves, in tiny ways and greater ones, and to resolve to make
things better for others, and so for ourselves. We can all be sowers of the seeds of kindness and
unselfishness, generosity and neighbourliness that make for happy communities - the heart of the
Kingdom of God.
In spite of the gloomy news we often see, the plants growing from those seeds are visible all around us, in
people we meet. This year, one of my resolutions is to take time to notice the seeds of hope, and to
nurture them wherever I can. As we look forward to the spring that is sure to come, let us also look
forward to a new growth of goodwill and kindly relationships that are always possible, with the help of
God.
We can be new every morning!
Best wishes, Jane Kennedy

LUNCHEON CLUB
An increased number, twenty one in all, met at Kilworth Springs for our Christmas lunch. The occasion
proved to be enjoyable kick start to the festive season.
The main course consisted of either turkey with the usual trimmings or salmon fillets as an alternative. A
very tasty Christmas pudding served with custard or biscuits and cheese followed by coffee with mints
rounded off this pleasant festive gathering.
The next three Luncheon Club meetings will be in the Village Hall on Thursday 19th
January, February
23rd
and March 15th
.
