Hello everybody.

Well, we’re nearly there! It seems like a long time since the cold

March day when Bishop Christopher asked me to be the next

Vicar of Ventnor and Bonchurch. Let’s trust that the weather will

be better on July 15th when we all gather for my licensing. I do

hope many of you can join me and Sarah in St Catherine’s on that

occasion and I look forward to meeting you.

There will lots to do and no doubt many issues to deal with, but I

do hope you’ll allow me the time and space over the summer to

get to know Ventnor and Bonchurch and the different people who

make up its church and community life. I am not coming to make

anyone redundant, I can assure you, so keep up the wonderful

good work you have been doing since Graham’s departure, and

together, and with God’s blessing, we can grow and thrive!

Hugh & Sarah

Hugh with daughter Chloe and grandson Barney.

Holy Trinity Times

Looking Back

“They’ve changed our local palais

Into a bowling alley, and

Fings ain’t wot they used to be!”

sang Max Bygraves in 1960. It’s strange, isn’t it, that the older we are, the more we

look back to the past as the halcyon days when everything seemed wonderful and

the hours were somehow suffused with a kind of golden glow, the gloss of nostalgia,

the yearning for the Good Old Days!

But is it really true? Or is it just a tendency to airbrush the bad things, the

considerable inconveniences of life, the post-war hardships, the Cold War fears, and

concentrate on the good things……Dixon of Dock Green type policemen, nurses

with cuffs and aprons and the smell of home cooking? Yes, I can remember the

freedom of long bike rides when no-one bothered about you as long as you came

back for tea, the excitement of going to “the pictures,” and the thrill of train

journeys to go on holiday to my aunt and uncle (the only holiday we had). But I can

also remember awful cold navy gabardine macs, that held the wet like nothing else

could, the misery of chilblains, and getting dressed huddled inside the airing

cupboard door, the dark interminable winter evenings reading or listening to the

radio and the drudgery of hand-washing absolutely everything!

People today grumble about our “dreadful summers” and the wet and windy

weather, but I have it on good authority that summers in the past weren’t all as rosy

as we remember. For example, in 1951 it was the wettest year on record until now,

with heavy thunderstorms and rain all through the summer, and in 1954, there was

frost in July! 1960 was a shockingly wet summer, while in June 1971 Ventnor had its

wettest day ever!

Above all, do you remember the Queen’s wet cold Coronation Day in 1953?

Now, in case you’re wondering if I’m harbouring ambitions to write a Nostalgia Page

for the Weekend section of the County Press, I’m not!! I’m really trying to point out

that in the Church’s life as well, it’s not always helpful to hanker after the past. Yes,

there was a time when there was a priest in every parish, and he (no she’s!) did all

the work (or so we thought!). Yes, there was a time when no self-respecting sports

club had practices or matches on a Sunday, and no shops were open, so Sunday

Schools were the only places for the young to go! Yes, there was a time when every

Vicar’s wife stayed at home and could have stepped straight out of the pages of a

Miss Marple mystery, and there was a time when every service came out of the one

prayer-book, accompanied by Hymns Ancient and Modern (?)

But times have changed, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, and now church life is a

partnership between clergy (male and female) and laity, with everyone pulling his or

5

her weight. Services have a richness and a variety, from Compline to Fresh

Expressions and all stages in between. We must expect to go to people where THEY

are, as well as welcoming them where WE are! Vicars and their spouses work as

hard, if not harder, than anyone else, and the Church of England has a much more

human face. We may not have the quantity of people in our congregations that we

once had, but hopefully we have people prepared to lend a hand, to pray, to look

after each other, to have a conscience about the outside world, and to welcome any

new-comer.

So, as we move into a new phase in the lives of our three churches, let’s resolve to

live in the present and look FORWARD. Let’s try to make each of our churches a

lively and welcoming place, not one bogged down in the past, but looking forward to

a time when “Fings ain’t wot they used to be” because they’ll be BETTER!

Gill.

Talking of “Looking Back”, in the dim and distant past, I was a soprano, soaring (in

approximate fashion) to the highest notes and belting out The Messiah with enthusi-

asm! For the last twenty years or so, I’ve been an alto, as I can no longer reach above

D, but I actually find it more fun (as long as there’s at least one other alto around!)

and look forward to a lower and lower future of singing in the choir. So I DON’T feel

the same as Bob the Organist, who is the author of the following poem. Apologies if

you’ve seen or heard it before.

The Alto’s Lament.

It’s tough to be an alto when you’re singing in the choir,

The sopranos get the twiddly bits that people all admire,

The basses boom like loud trombones, the tenors shout with glee,

But the alto part is on two notes, (or if you’re lucky, three).

And when we sing an anthem and we lift our hearts in praises,

The men get all the juicy bits and telling little phrases.

Of course, the trebles sing the tune, they always come off best.

The altos only get three notes and twenty-two bars rest!

We practise very hard each week from hymn-book and the Psalter,

But when the conductor looks at us, our voices start to falter;

“Too high! Too low! Too fast!...you held that note too long!”

It doesn’t matter what we do, it’s certain to be wrong!

Oh, shed a tear for altos, they’re the Martyrs and they know

In the ranks of choral singers they’re considered very low.

They are so very ‘umble that a lot of folk forget ‘em

How they’d love to be sopranos, but their vocal chords won’t let ‘em!

And when the final trumpet comes and we are wafted higher,

Sopranos, basses, tenors…they’ll be in the Heavenly Choir.

While they sing “Alleluia” to celestial flats and sharps,

The altos will be occupied with polishing the harps.

GHANA NEWS

I have had an e-mail from Clement, the Dean of the Cathedral at Tamale, and

Robin replied, giving him Holy Trinity’s news. If you look in your most recent

Pompey Chimes, you will see pictures of Bishop Christopher and his group on

the steps of Tamale Cathedral with many of our friends from there.

Chris Dobson has just sent off Box 168, and should you wish to send any money

personally to Ghana, David Tamcken will be visiting in the autumn and will be

going (he hopes) to both Tamale and Wa, among other places.

And in the Alphabet of the Christian Church, we are up to M for

MAGI…the first Gentiles to believe in Christ, guided by a mysterious star to come

to Bethlehem. The idea that they were kings didn’t appear in Christian tradition for

some years, nor did their number, which was simply assumed from the three gifts

they brought. The names, Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar didn’t crop up until the

sixth century!

The MAGNIFICAT is the song sung by Mary when her cousin Elizabeth greeted

her as the Mother of the Lord. It’s been sung at Vespers and then at Evensong for

over 1500 years!

MALACHI, the last book of the Old Testament, is probably not actually the name

of the prophet as the Hebrew word (which I can’t, thank Heavens, type into a

computer) means “my messenger.” The language and thought s of the book are

dated at about 538 B.C.

John MERBECKE or MARBECK (died c 1585) was organist at St George’s

Chapel, Windsor, in 1541 , and narrowly avoided being burned at the stake

because he had written the first Concordance of the Bible in English. He wrote the

plainsong chant to go with the Book of Common Prayer…an adapted version is

sung at Bonchurch Parish Church most Sundays. (No, George will not be burnt at

the stake because it’s sung in English!)

MERCY.

A quote I once heard from the pulpit when I was training as a Reader and I have

never forgotten it.

“Mercy is not receiving what you deserve,

Grace is receiving what you don’t deserve.”

St. Catherine’S newS Greetings!

Well, how was it for you? The summer, I mean. Yes, we seem

to have had one, and may yet get an ‘Indian Summer’ later on in

the year but, right now, the weather hasn’t made its mind up

just what it’s about.

With that in mind, changeableness, as it were, is something we need to get

used to. With Hugh having lately arrived, at least one new churchwarden, a

few new PCC members settling in, and with the prospect of a thing the

Church of England calls a ‘Quinquennial’ – a five-year check on the fabric of

the building, inside and out - there’s a lot to do and change.

Personally, I have also taken on a job as a Phlebotomist at the local hospital

(look the word up!). It’s a ‘bank’ post, with variable hours, and so this means

there have been extra changes in my life and, I must say, it’s quite tiring.

Change is, it’s said, a part of life generally. One goes along quite happily in

one’s routines when, quite suddenly, it leaps out at one from an unexpected

quarter. It may be nice, or it may be nasty, but it’s always quite sudden. And

this is reflected in one’s spiritual life, assuming that one trusts the LORD to

lead (never nasty, but always different!).

So it is with the church fellowship. We can only follow where the Holy

Spirit leads, as directed by our ministry team or spiritual advisor, and pray

that we have the strength to more than cope with the new season. But we need to do it together, holding one another up prayerfully and practically as

is written, by Paul, in his letter to the Galatians.

My prayer for you all this Summer – such as it is – is that you will all find

peace in your changes, steadiness in your routines and to have your spiritual

ears open to the still, small voice that is able to turn the course of Empires

and Nations - the honour that God wants to talk to you is immeasurable –

so that any changes that happen will be borne as Jesus wants you to bear

them – victoriously!

9

But now we’ve passed Midsummer; winter draws on, and Christmas will –

suddenly – be upon us once again, and we begin to gear up the church for

its preparations. And we’ll wonder where the year has gone. But we will

do it together; change will not seem so unmanageable, it will seem that

Hugh has been here forever, and we will, hopefully, feel that we have

made one more successful step along the way with the LORD.

I wish you all a peaceful, blessed and Spirit-filled summer with

your families and friends, at home, at work and on holiday.

Chris Maguire

Hugh’s Licensing – At time of writing, I cannot report on how it went –

wait for the September issue – but planning proceeds apace. As you will

get this issue before the fact, I will say that any and all hands are needed

to help (see Chris or John if you wish to do something), and that as many

from St. Catherine’s congregation, as well as Holy Trinity’s and

St. Boniface’s, will be welcome to attend, but bear in mind that seating is

limited!

Michele Brock’s ‘24-Hour Sing’ was very successful: every hour from

10:30 am on the 1st June to 10:30 am on the 2nd was fully accounted for!

The McNaughton-Howe Arts and Crafts Show on the 7th and 8th of

June was very successful. There were many entrants, all of a high standard.

The Judges found it a difficult task to allocate prizes, but I’m pleased to

report that our very own Shirley Brett won two awards for her painting

of a landscape, and her knitted elephant – a Bronze and a Silver,

consecutively. Congratulations, Shirley! We look forward to next year’s

show!

The Tritone Singers held their concert on the 22nd June to popular

acclaim, by all accounts.

Finally, we wave a fond and heartfelt farewell to Rev Vivienne Heenan,

our erstwhile and, dare I say it, doughty Assistant Priest for the past year.

She has had to retire on health grounds, but has threatened us with being

around to keep us all on our toes! So, all our thanks go to you, Aunty Viv

– you get more like Giles’ Grandma every day – but in the nicest possible

way!

Street Pastors

Great News – the Isle of Wight Street Pastors have won the

Queen's Award for Voluntary Services. This is the highest award

in the country that a voluntary organisation can win, and is equal

to getting an MBE.

The three cyclists completed the Scotland Coast to Coast Challenge, and through

the church we raised £100 in sponsorship. We also sent £166.80, donated in lieu of

presents for Grace's 80th birthday.

We look forward to having our new minister Hugh join our Street Pastor teams in

July. Hugh trained as a Street Pastor at the same time as Shirley, Mick, Nava and

Angela.

Thanks to everybody who supports us in prayer, financially and by donating chocs

and lollipops.

24 Hours of Music

Yes, we did it! ~ 24 hours of live music, with a good deal of fun and goodwill

generated on the way. There was a very warm and welcoming feeling about the

church as locals and visitors alike came to see what was happening, and in many

cases. to take part. Some chose items to sing, joined the scratch choir, or learned

to ring a hand bell. Others became audience for pianists, organists, guitar players, a

violinist, an accordion player, a group of fiddlers, three choirs, a group of brass

players, and some of the Shanklin URC worship band.

To all those who took part; a massive thank you for your time, talent and

willingness to be involved.

In terms of fund raising, we were very encouraged to be able to pass £1200 over to

the Friends of St Catherine's for the Phase Three project.

Thank you, everyone Michele and David

Macnaughton-Howe Association Festival

This years festival our 57th year, was another success. We were a bit lower

on entries but the workmanship was very high again.

The Computer cup was won by our own Joan Garlick, who is a wizz on the

computer. The Needlecraft and Art cups by Charlotte Walby, a local

lady. We had a very talented boy of 10 years old, whose work was on a

level par with the adults, because of this he won my Chairman's Choice

Shield. I would like to thank everybody at St Catherine's Church, especially

Chris and Joan who both worked so hard, and everybody that helped to keep

this festival going.

Please look out for us next year, the date is

Friday 6th & Saturday 7th June 2014.

So come on everybody and get busy and enter, just like Joan.
