Well here we are in Lent, the time when the Church prepares itself for Easter.
But the Church also views Lent as a penitential time, a time to contemplate
on our lives, our faith and the state of the world. Never has there been a
time where this was more poignant. As we (hopefully) come out of lockdown
I do wonder whether we are entering back into a world that is better, more
kind – both to our fellow human beings and to the planet – or will the world -

we as individuals - quickly revert back to our old habits without stopping to
contemplate what the past year or so has really taught us.
Many lives have taken a battering, experiencing great personal sadness

or harbouring feelings of despair. We may feel a bit like the exiled people
in the Old Testament who were forced to leave their own land for another
strange land that they didn’t understand. The land we have experienced in
the past year has been a strange land, a land of restrictions, of not being

people of the Old Testament was their inability to see outside of themselves,
to imagine what it might be like beyond this time of grieving to a time of

newness. There are times when we too can feel like an exiled people,
suffering a similar internalisation of despair, as we witness the problems
the world faces or experience difficulties in our own lives.
VICAR At the beginning of Lent the Gospel reading tells of Jesus’ temptation in the
wilderness. Hearing the story of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness at the
beginning of Lent can seem like a stick with which we should beat ourselves;
an example of stern self-discipline that we must somehow follow. If Jesus
could do it, the implication seems to be, then so also should we.
Yet is that really the point here? The temptation Jesus faced was to take the
easy path rather than the hard, to fit in with the way of the world instead
of walking the way of the cross. It’s the fact that he refused to give in that
gives us reason to hope and rejoice despite our faults. He took the road
of costly self-sacrifice, the route that led to death in order to bring us life,
and he did so not because we deserve it but precisely because we don’t,
because he loves us as we are, warts and all. And that folks is the really
good news. Lent speaks of the God who longs not to condemn but to forgive,
not to punish but to bless. Lent speaks of hope not of dispair.
So whatever Lent means to you - giving up something or taking up
something – we can use our 40 days to reflect on our lives, our faith and the
state of the world and ask ourselves, “Do I look forward with hope or fear,
with anticipation or dread?“ Let it be hope – the hope that Christ gives to
us. Let us look to that better future of kindness and remember that we are
made for love and it is this love which will save us and our world.
Yours in Christ
Jean, Team Vicar

V&V MAR 21.indd 5 16/02/2021 11:50Dogs in the Churchyard
Anyone in the Valley and Valence who has had
the good fortune to attend one of Jean’s ‘Animal
Services’ will know that our church in Martinstown
really does welcome ‘all creatures great and small’.
What none of us like, however, is coming upon a
pile of dog poo and this is particularly so when in
the churchyard, while simply enjoying the peace or
tending a loved one’s grave.
Please, please, please... if you are walking your
dog through the churchyard, keep him/her on a
lead and, should there be an ‘accident’, clear it up.
Sadly there has recently been quite an increase in
the amount of dog fouling, causing unnecessary
distress and we ask for your help to stop this re-
occurring. Thank you.

Easter in The Winterbournes
& Compton Valence
Since we don’t yet know what restrictions will be in place for Easter
(Easter Sunday is 4th April), we are unable to publish at this stage what
services will be available. However, it is hoped that by the time the
April magazine is published (late March) we will be able to confirm
dates and times of services in our four villages.
Meanwhile - stay safe, be kind.

Garden and Craft Show Martinstown Village Hall
The garden show committee members have been thinking about
potatoes! Seed potatoes are in stock now and if – and it is a very big
if at the moment - we are able to have a show of some sort, we know
that one of the most popular classes is likely to be that for the greatest
weight of potatoes. For those who may be new to the village or to the
show classes, our show is normally held in the middle of August and
for one of the classes every entrant is given a seed potato – all the
same variety and of a similar size – to grow either in the ground or in a
container, and on show day they’re presented, dug and washed, for the
weigh -in to find the winner. We aim for a fun show, with the emphasis
being on the joy of gardening, and in normal times, cooking, photogra-
phy and crafting too, with some gentle competition thrown in. Sally in
Brewery House (889097) will be ‘potato central’ this year, so please

Martinstown Women’s Institute
On 10th February we had our first Zoom meeting with a speaker - Tess Thompson
from Support Dogs – a small charity based in Sheffield providing assistance dogs
for those with disabilities. They have three programmes – Autism, Epilepsy and
Disability. She told us about one little autistic boy who was afraid to leave the
house, but with the help of his dog to keep him out of danger and to soothe and
calm him, he is now able to go back to school.
Remarkably, a dog trained to help with Epilepsy is able to give a warning 48 minutes
before a seizure, giving her owner time to get to a safe place. This has given her
back her independence, she is now able to be left alone, to go for a walk, have a
bath, etc.
Natalie and her dog, Cleo joined us by Zoom. She is in a wheelchair and has a great
partnership with her dog who is able to open doors, pick things up from the floor
and get help if Natalie falls. Cleo was a pet dog and was trained to be a support
dog. Others are trained from puppies. It costs £21,000 to train a support dog
and takes 2 years. We were surprised to learn that they receive no government
support for this valuable work.
Our next Zoom meeting will be on 10th March - Speaker the “Soap Coach”
We would like to see something you have made for Easter – a card, Easter bonnet,
iced biscuit, or anything with an Easter theme.
