Rector’s Letter
    Dear Friends,
Easter falls late this year, and the long spring seemed to
begin in February; how different from last year’s ‘Beast from
the East’, which shows no sign of returning, thank goodness!
We’re tempted to think global warming isn’t really so bad,
but the changes we’ve made -largely unwittingly- in the
atmosphere are causing exceptional weather everywhere to
become the new ‘normal’, and that can’t, in the long run, be good for us or the planet.
The first event for April, is a performance of The Crucifixion, by Sir John Stainer. My
wife and I last sang in this oratorio when I was still a curate in Huddersfield, and even
then it was rare for a parish church choir to put it on, but at one time it was a favourite
piece for Passiontide, drawing on the great eighteenth-century tradition of Handel
and Bach, but also ‘packing a punch’ in the way it puts across what Christ’s death and
resurrection mean to us today. It was written in 1887, when Sir John was at the height
of his powers, while its librettist, John Sparrow Simpson, was still ‘just a curate’;
remarkably, he was to live until 1952, a week into the reign of our own Queen.
Like Bach’s great Passions, The Crucifixion includes hymns for the congregation to sing,
so I hope people will feel that they are attending an act of worship, rather than a
concert, and there will be a short service in the Blythe Chapel afterwards for those
who would like to receive Holy Communion. All are welcome to come to this vivid
presentation of Jesus’ passion, which will last about an hour, and of course, as an act
of worship there will be no charge.
Also in April, I shall be celebrating my sixty-fifth birthday; most of the time I don’t feel
that age, but sometimes my knees feel even older: perhaps it’s all that kneeling! I
suppose I could also celebrate the anniversary of my baptism at St Oswald’s three
months later, but I shall certainly mark the fortieth anniversary of my ordained
ministry: I was ordained as a deacon in Wakefield Cathedral on the first of July, 1979,
and ‘priested’ at the Petertide ordinations the following year. People said I had ‘gone
into the church’, but of course I couldn’t remember not feeling part of the Church: it
is after all Baptism that makes us members.
I’d just like to mention two other ways in which we affirm our membership of the
Church. One of them is through Confirmation. I was confirmed as a chorister at
Sheffield Cathedral when I was 13, and it meant a great deal to me; so did being able
to take Holy Communion for the first time. The classes we attended (in the grand
setting of the cathedral Chapter House) helped me to understand what the Christian
faith was really about, and, as the Bishop of Sheffield is coming to St James’ in June
to confirm, I will be very happy to prepare any adults or children to take that step
themselves, or at least to be able to make an informed decision about their own
personal faith. So, whether you’re nine or ninety-nine, here is your chance to say your
own personal ‘yes’ to God.
                                             3
Norton Farmers' Market Saturday 27th April - St James Norton
Finally, April is also the month when we’re obliged to revise St James’ own list of
members: the Electoral Roll. This isn’t an ancient tradition, but just goes back
ninety years to when the Church of England tried to make itself more accountable
to those who actually came to its services. If you are a baptized Christian and you
want to make your faith real, then you will need to belong to a particular
congregation, and a spiritual ‘home’. If St James’ is that to you - and even if you
are already on our current Roll - you will need to complete a new form from church.
It gives you some rights to the services of the Church, and helps us know who are
our real ‘family’.
And if you are part of our family, of course I look forward to seeing you as we
celebrate Christ’s resurrection, and I celebrate this last Easter with you as your
Rector here in Norton
                          Yours in Christ,
                                         Geoffrey

Easter Traditions and Customs
Which Easter tradition or custom do you like the most? Eating a warm and spicy hot
cross bun or enjoying a piece of Simnel Cake (which should have only 11 balls on the
top to represent the Disciples minus Judas, the Traitor); making a special meal to enjoy
with family and friends; making an Easter Egg Hunt; or demolishing a delicious
chocolate Easter Egg? Did you ever make an Easter Bonnet at school?

At Easter, Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus after his Crucifixion on Good
Friday. It is the end of fasting during Lent, so a feast is often included in the
celebrations. In the Church of England, an Easter Vigil is sometimes held late on
Saturday night when the Paschal candle is lit for the first time and carried from the
back of a dark church to the altar to signify the resurrection of Jesus – ‘Jesus is the
light of the world’. This candle will be lit at every Baptism in church after Easter and
in St James' it stands next to the Font in a tall candlestick. Easter lilies are often seen
on Easter Day – after the plain days of Lent when the church does not have any flower
arrangements, apart from wedding flowers.

There are several customs that I have collected from Great Britain and across the world
– some are quite startling!
When I was in Primary School, I was given a new whip and top and decorated the top
with coloured chalk to make a pattern as it spun round. I often begged an old leather
shoe lace from my Dad because it worked better than the piece of string on the whip!
I can’t remember getting many chocolate eggs in those days – the sugar rationing
remained until 1953. ‘Pace Egging’ refers to the custom of rolling a hard-boiled,
decorated egg down a hill to see which one won. Painted eggs were also served for
breakfast, but the colours tended to run in the hot water!

In Germany, trees are decorated with Easter eggs. Bermuda has a kite festival on
Horseshoe Beach to signify the ascension of Jesus. Spain has the ‘Dance of Death’ on
Maundy Thursday when people dress in luminous skeleton costumes. The Greek island
of Chios has a rocket festival competition between the churches of St Mark’s and the
Virgin Mary Erethiani – the rockets are homemade and, so far, there haven’t been any
major incidents! In Ethiopia, members of the Orthodox Church fast for 56 days and
have a vegan diet. On Easter Day, everyone dresses in white for feasts. In Florence,
Italy, there is the ‘Explosion of the Cart’ on Easter Day. A cart filled with fireworks is
dragged through the street to the Cathedral. A dove-shaped rocket is lit which travels
down a wire to light the cart, resulting in a firework display. New York hosts an Easter
Parade where colourful Easter bonnets and beautiful clothes are worn as the parade
passes between Manhattan to 5th Avenue.
Whatever custom you have in your family, enjoy it and remember why we are
celebrating.                                               Sally Vardy

Is your Will up to date?
Many people incorrectly believe that once they have drafted their Will they can
tick it off the 'to do' list. This not the case. Many things will change over the
years which may impact upon your Will and could mean that your Will is not up
to date, or in some cases, is no longer valid.
  For example:
• You may now have children/grandchildren that you wish to include in your
     Will
• If you have had children, you may wish to appoint guardians in your Will
• You may no longer speak with people who you have named in your Will
     and wish to remove them
• You may have separated or divorced from your spouse/partner and need
     to remove them from your Will
• You may have moved house or changed name and wish to update the
     details contained in your Will
• You may have married since the date of your last Will and therefore your
     old Will may be revoked
• Your children may now be old enough to be named as Executors… or you
     may decide that they are not responsible enough to inherit monies at the
     age of 18 and instead wish to change this to 25

Having an up to date Will is essential to ensure that your wishes are reflected. If
you would like to review your Will to ensure it meets your needs, or discuss any
changes which may be required then please contact Lauren Smith at Taylor
Bracewell Solicitors, on 0114 2721884 or email lauren@taylorbracewell.co.uk.

Home Security
   •    Ensure windows and door are locked, even if you are only in the garden or
        popping to the shops. Burglars can sneak in through an insecure door or
        window.
    • Keep house and car keys and handbags out of the reach of letter boxes or
        catflaps and ideally out of sight from a ground floor window.
    • Keep laptops, mobile phones digital cameras and iPads/tablets out of sight
        of windows while you are out or asleep.
    • Use your burglar alarm when you go out or are in bed. Speak to neighbours
        and ask them to call the police if the alarm sounds when you are away.
    • Lock away ladders, tools and other garden items that could be used to enter
        your home. Wheelie bins should be away from first floor windows so they
        can't be used to stand on for access.
    • Use timer switches on lights when you are away from home so the house
        looks occupied.
If you see any suspicious persons or vehicles in the area, walking up and down
driveways or looking how to gain access to a property, call 101, the non-
emergency number. For a real emergency, call 999.

                     Everything Hinges on One Thing
In the life of every individual, every family and every nation, there are life-changing
moments; events or decisions that shape our future; experiences that mould our
character and influence our journey through life. As a nation, we are living through
one of those tipping points now. By the time you read this, March 29th – the date
on which the UK leaves the EU - will have come and gone. Whatever happened,
it is a significant time in our nation’s history.

For families and individuals, these key moments can include times of joy such as
the birth of a baby, a family wedding or knowing we have done something
particularly good. Or they can include times of sadness and tragedy, such as the
death or serious illness of someone we love or realising that we have done
something seriously wrong. We all have high points and low points; cherished
memories and regrets.

The Easter story brings together low points and high points in a roller-coaster
three days. Peter, one of Jesus’ closest friends, repeatedly claimed he didn’t know
Jesus and only realised his betrayal when the cockerel crowed early in the morning.
Some of the women who followed Jesus wept as they saw Jesus being taken away
to be executed, feeling all their hopes drain away as Jesus died in front of them
on the cross. Jesus himself endured huge stress as he walked slowly but steadily
towards his destiny. He suffered not only the anticipation of a painful death but,
far worse, the dread of being separated from God, His heavenly Father, as He died
in our place.

All that happened on Good Friday. Everyone thought it was over; everyone
thought that darkness had triumphed. Everyone but Jesus, that is. He understood
that it wasn’t over; He knew that Sunday was coming.

                                          12
Sunday arrived. The day some of the women went to Jesus’ tomb – only to find
it empty! Theirs was the unique privilege of being the first to see Jesus alive again;
they got to tell the men – including Peter – that Jesus had risen from death! Later,
Peter himself experienced forgiveness and restoration as Jesus repeatedly
accepted him and affirmed him. The deepest low points in their lives were all
eclipsed by the ultimate high point.

One of the Bible authors writes about Jesus coming at the pinnacle of history.
Everything up until then was in preparation for his coming; everything afterwards
is to be seen in the light of Jesus’ triumph over darkness. The whole of history
hinges on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

What is true on a large scale is also true for us as individuals. Our lives are indeed
shaped by our response to life’s events. But most of all we are shaped by our
response to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus - the sacrifice He made once
for all.

An encounter with Jesus at the first Easter transformed Peter’s life. An encounter
with Jesus this Easter could transform your life.                   Steve Bodey

 It meets on Tuesdays 9.45 -11.45 at The Chantrey Centre, Matthews Lane.
 We are in need of some books for our little people! If anyone has children’s
 books that are in good condition and that they no longer need, the Playgroup
 would be happy to give them a new home! Any books would be appreciated,
 but they particularly like lift the flap books, or any Bible stories. Please give the
 books to Jo Edwards, or contact her for collection if you have lots!

that we have lost our legal action to try and protect Graves Park and have had all costs
awarded against us. The Friends went to court to seek a declaration to prevent any
further sale or disposal of Graves Park land without a scheme, after Cobnar Cottage
and the designated charitable parkland on which it stood were sold freehold.

While we accept that this case was always going to be difficult, we were quietly
confident (perhaps too quiet) that the legal documents protecting J G Graves’s gift
were clear that there is no power of sale, ironically something repeated in the
judgment. As it stands, Sheffield City Council may make a case for selling off as much
of Graves Park as they want, provided they spend those funds on the rest of the park.
The Friends now have to make a difficult decision. If we accept this judgment, we have
to find £36,000+ to cover the court costs against us, and risk that the council may
continue to sell off bits of the park. If we do not accept this decision, then we still have
to raise the money to take us to appeal, in addition to those costs.

We must try and protect Graves Park, all of Graves Park, from sale or disposal, because
the past 20 years have taught us that those who wish to take over the property of the
people will not stop and go away until they are stopped for good.
The Friends of Graves Park desperately need helping funds! We have to raise at least
£40,000 to cover our legal bills and the costs awarded against us.

Marie Curie seeks Volunteers in Sheffield
Marie Curie is looking for local people to join the South West Sheffield Fundraising
Group to help raise vital funds so that Marie Curie nurses can continue to provide

campaigns such as the Great Daffodil Appeal and their own events, raising a
staggering £30,000!

in Sheffield. If you have an affinity with Marie Curie, are organised, creative, keen
to raise money for a worthy cause and looking for a new challenge then why not

CAN YOU SEE THE KING?
 This cartoon strip was from “George the Gargoyle” (who lives on St James’
 Church) back in 2007. He was quoting a song about Palm Sunday, "Can you see
the King?" which was sung over many years by children at a local school.

Here is the tune for any of you instrument players. You'll have to do a bit
of putting 2 and 2 together

If you like a Quiz- perhaps you can spot the Deliberate Mistake if I tell you that
it was Episode 65.
The story of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey is of course the whole
point - yes, you can see the King, but no, you can't hear marching soldiers
coming in with him."

                 Hosanna to the Son of David - He’s the King!”
