TIME TOGETHER GRANT Thank
you to all who helped, in any
way, to support our application.
We were successful in our bid
for an Everybody Active Towns
grant from Shropshire Council.
Thank you all who voted for us, your support meant that Time Together
came top of the table of votes.
The Grant money, £2000, will be used in part to fund the hire of the
other room in Bargates Hall which will enable us to have a more active
and healthy activity, such as boccia which is a precision ball sport
related to bowls, along side those we already offer. Research shows that
leading a more active life, 150 minutes of moderate activity per week,
can reduce your chances of Type 2 Diabetes by 40%, Cardiovascular
Disease by 35%, Falls, Depression and Dementia by 30%, joint and back
pain by 25% and Cancers by 20%. Start small and build up gradually ,
just 10 mins at a time provides benefit.

Dear friends,
On September 10th
I will be licensed as a Reader (used to be known as Lay
Reader) to work in the parishes of Shropshire North Six . I have reached
this step after lots of little ones taken to satisfy a thirst for learning and
the only end view being to be a better educated Sunday School teacher.
No-one could be more surprised than me to find that I will be donning
cassock and surplice and the blue Reader scarf to preach.
I would like to thank you all for the support that you have given me these
last few years. This last stage of the journey began with a deanery bible
study course to complete the Bishops Certificate. Bridget Hodges and
Malcolm Rigley were fellow students who progressed on to the next stage
of training, but I was happy just to keep meeting under the tutelage
of Rev Christopher Cooke and Canon William Price. Then Revd Judy
encouraged me to do the year-long Pathways course – a diocesan course
designed to explore lay ministry and to signpost training opportunities.
I was there for the learning - and good learning it was – particularly the
day led by the then Director of Reader Training. I wanted more!
The Pathways course ended with a quiet day. I found myself struck by
Jesus’ words to Peter recorded at the end of John’s gospel: ‘Feed my
sheep’. I suddenly felt that of all the parish roles I could potentially fulfil,
the role of Reader was one that I was perhaps suited to and that I would
also enjoy – except I still couldn’t see myself in the position of preacher!
With the support of our PCCs, I found myself accepted for the two year
training and happily prioritising every term time Wednesday evening and
one weekend a term for lectures and a fair amount of additional time to
study, essay writing and practical exercises. During those two years
I have come to enjoy leading worship and preparing sermons – thank you
for being gracious about my novice attempts.
As a licensed Reader my role will include being upfront on some
Sundays in any / all of the parishes, sharing the Junior Church teaching at
St Alkmunds and participation in other occasional courses and seasonal
services. I hope you will continue to engage with me, give me feedback
and support me as my journey continues. In my turn, I hope to be able to
encourage you as fellow travellers in the kingdom of heaven.
Yours in friendship
Jane Rylands

CELEBRATING OUR
VOLUNTEERS!
Through 2016 we want to thank
everyone who volunteers in any
way here at St Alkmund's. At
different times in the year we
have had services celebrating the
ministries of different groups.
The last of these will be on Sunday
18th September where we will be
celebrating and commissioning
those who reach out into the
communi t y on beha l f o f
the Church. This includes the
following ministries:
Those who help in schools –
governors, collective worship
'Experience' sessions
The new Messy Church team
Pastoral visitors
Home communion visitors
Bereavement visitors
Homes communions team
Hospital chaplaincy team
Baptism visitors / welcomers
Foodbank
If you are part of any of these
groups we'd love to see you at one
of our services on Sunday 18th
September where we can thank
you properly! If you are not but
want to think about getting
involved then please speak to
Revd Judy or Revd Rich.
MESSY CHURCH
Messy Church is a mix of crafts,
activities, worship and food which
is for all ages but is especially
aimed at families. We will be
starting a Messy Church this
autumn with sessions on Sunday
25th
September and Sunday 27th
November, 4-5.30pm in Bargates
Hall. You can get involved by
helping with crafts and activities,
helping in the kitchen, coming to
chat to people, and especially by
bringing your family/friends. If
you would like more information
or to be involved please speak to
Revd Rich.
PILGRIM COURSE
The next module of The Pilgrim
Course – this time looking at
the Beatitudes – is starting on
Thursday September 15th
and will
run for 6 weeks. We will meet
from 7-8.30pm in Bargates Hall,
all are welcome even if you’ve
never been to the Pilgrim Course
before! More information from
Revd Rich or Bridget Hodges.
BLACKBERRY FAIR
Whitchurch Blackberry Fair is on
Saturday 1st
October this year and
is a fantastic community event
but it can be extremely busy and
so this year St Alkmund’s will be
designated at “The Stillness Zone”
where people can come and find
peace and quiet while still being
part of the Fair. As well as being
decorated for Harvest, we will

BIBLE STUDY GROUP
I do hope you have had a good
summer.
Pat and I went up to Keswick as
usual for the Keswick Christian
Convention. I’ve been going for 21
years. I did seven years in the
camper van, seven years bed and
breakfast and now seven years at
the Skiddaw hotel in the centre of
the town.
I was looking forward to the Bible
Study this year in particular as
the speaker was Steve Brady – a
fantastic speaker, but I didn’t know
what we were going to study until
I got up there. When I looked
down the programme for Week 2,
couldn’t believe my eyes, when I
saw it was to be – Revelations. As
I had asked my group at
St Alkmunds what they wanted to
study next, half of them said
Revelations, while the other half
wanted to look at the Letters
So, I’ve done a leaflet for studying
Revelations and then we’ll look
at the John’s Letters towards
Christmas.
The group meet each 2nd
and 4th
Wednesdays each month, so our
first meeting in September will be
14th
September, at 2.00pm in
Bargates Hall. Although we know
studying the Bible sounds as if we
are all solemn ‘beings’, and yes
we are, but we enjoy each others
company and really have a ‘fun’
time. If you would like to join us,
do come along and give us a try,
you will be very welcome. - we
have a lovely cuppa at the end with
some very scummy biscuits!
Hope to see you there, Celia.
THE CHILDREN’S SOCIETY
October is the official month for
completing the opening and
counting of our Children’s Society
boxes so I am getting this notice
in the September magazine to
remind you to bring your boxes
to church, and hand them to me,
or leave them in the Vestry where
they will be put in the safe until
I can collect them. Once the
contents have been counted, I will
put the boxes at the back of the
church for you to collect.
If you are unable to bring your box
to church, I will collect and return
it to your home.
I am away for a week at the end of
September so would appreciate
you bringing in your boxes as
soon as possible.
Thank you all for continuing to
support so generously this very
worth while cause.
If anyone would like to consider
having a box, please do contact
me, either at church or at home.

welcome, you’re never too old!
We’ll be asking those who are
interested to make contact towards
the end of this year but thought
that some people might like to bear
the date in mind now.
SHROPSHIRE VIOLETS (see
front cover)
The following is an email sent to
Revd Judy a few weeks ago.
“I am disposing of stock from an
antique centre I used to have some
years ago. I have come across a
bottle of Shropshire violets (empty!)
a picture of your church is on the
front of the bottle. I am willing to
post it on to you if the church
would have any interest in it. It is
only 4" in height. Free, no charge!
Susan Blackwell from Devon”
We took Susan up on her offer and
are now trying to find information
about the bottle, pictured on the
front cover. The back of the bottle
is rather plain and just has the
words ‘Shropshire Violets’ on it,
the base has no makers name but
carries the mark ’A83’. If you have
ever seen one before or know
anything about it please let Jo Lavin
or Roly Wyatt know.
Bradbury Day Centre Harvest
On Monday 19th
September at
1:45pm we are having a short
Harvest service at the Bradbury Day
Centre. If you would like to come
and help boost the singing and chat
to those who attend please speak
to Revd Rich.
BELLRINGING PRACTICE is
taking a short break and will
resume on Thursday 6th October
at 7.00pm.
Opportunity to meet our new
Bishop of Lichfield - Michael
Ipgrave will become the 99th
Bishop of the Lichfield Diocese on
24th September 2016. The
Lichfield Diocese covers a vast
area including Shropshire. He is
coming to St Alkmund’s on
Tuesday 20th September for a
service, including the Eucharist,
starting at 7.00pm. He would like
to meet local people over refresh-
ments at the end of the service. If
work or other commitments mean
that you’ll be a bit late arriving –
don’t worry – still come.
It would be helpful to have a vague
idea of numbers beforehand, so if
you think you’re likely to come,
please sign up on the list at the
back of one of the Shropshire
North Six Churches or let Revd
Judy know on 01948 667253 or
Wondering about being
Confirmed in the Church of
England?
To let you know that there will be
a Confirmation Service next year,
probably in St Alkmund’s,
Whitchurch, at 6.00pm on 15th
April (Easter Eve). If you were
baptised (christened) as a baby,
confirmation is about taking on
for yourself the promises made by
your parents and god-parents.
If you’re not yet baptised, then
baptism and confirmation can be
done at the same time. Those who
are confirmed then receive the
bread and wine at services of Holy
Communion.
For young people, confirmation is
open to those in school year 6 or
above. For adults – all ages are

We have so much to thank farmers for … They produce the food we eat. They care for the land. They
manage the countryside for our benefit.
And yet much of our farming community is
threatened and suffering Low incomes, increasing bureaucracy, high suicide levels,
depression, debts and farmers going out of business losing
their livelihood and the home for their family

Donations raised through the Harvest Appeal can really make a
difference. A donation of as little as £10 could pay for two hand-
pumps; a total of £200 could more than pay for a pump, providing
clean water for a whole Ugandan village. And a collection of £597
could train local people to maintain and fix a village water point in
Uganda, ensuring it works for the long term.
Since 1981, WaterAid has reached 23 million people with safe water
and, since 2004, 21 million people with sanitation. For more infor-
mation, visit www.wateraid.org, follow @WaterAidUK on Twitter, or
visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/wateraid.
Everyday millions go without the essential ingredient of safe
water. 38-year-old Aleper, who lives in a rural village in North
Eastern Uganda, has to make the journey to collect water with
her eldest daughter Teko Helen, three times a day. Aleper
and her daughter cannot bring enough water back from the
river to irrigate their crops. When the rains fail, so do their
hopes for Harvest.
The plan
With help from churches across the UK, we will transform the
village with a new borehole, bringing safe water to the whole
community. This will give them enough water to grow crops
of nutritious vegetables, ensuring their families no longer go
hungry
All the harvest gifts donated at St Alkmund’s will be passed on as follows:

Around 315,000 children die each year from
diarrhoeal diseases caused by dirty water and poor
sanitation. That’s nearly 900 children each day,
or one child every two minutes.
