From the Rectory, Revd Mandy writes :-
Thursday 30th of May will be Ascension Thursday. The
church of England will launch “Thy Kingdom Come” a daily
time of prayer until the Day of Pentecost. You can find
details of “Thy Kingdom Come” prayers and events simply
by putting it into a search engine.
In the Christian Church all celebrate the ascension of Jesus into heaven. But
why is there an Ascension Day? For the answer, we need to go back to the
origin, life and ministry of Jesus - Jesus was with his father in heaven before
his incarnation. He became man and was born in Bethlehem, and when he was
about 30 he left his home village for an itinerant ministry in Israel, teaching,
healings and meeting with people. Many found a sense of belonging, His
message of justice, hope and love, and became His followers. Their lives took
on new meaning with unimagined hope and substance. Their encounter with
Jesus transformed their lives. Jesus completed the work entrusted to him by
his Father. He was crucified by his enemies and died.
On Easter morning Jesus was raised from the dead, He told his disciples that
He must soon return to His Father in heaven. Jesus came from the Father to do
His will. That work complete, Jesus now returned to the Father. And so, at
ascension, we celebrate Jesus – ascended to God's right hand in glory.
We also remember other things this month Christian Aid—The Church of
England with our friends from the Baptist church will AGAIN this year be
serving together to raise funds for Christian Aid. Please do offer your services
to anyone in any of the churches. Details of how you might help are on this
magazine. Please encourage all your friends and neighbours to advertise and
subscribe to this magazine to support LOCAL National and international
people in need.
Back to ascension……today, Jesus is not physically walking the earth, but
such is his love for us that He prays to the Father for us in heaven. Jesus' love
for humankind is revealed in His ascension when he told his disciples that,
yes, he was going away but that He was going to prepare a place in heaven for
them, and Jesus would come back and take them to be with him. Ascension…
all this happened for one simple reason – God’s profound love for
you and me. God bless you Revd Mandy

* A Sunday school teacher asked her class, “What was Jesus’ mother’s
name?” One child answered that it was Mary. The teacher then asked, “Who
knows what Jesus’ father’s name was?” A little boy said, “Verge.”
Confused, the teacher asked what he meant. The boy said, “Well, you know,

We meet at 7.30pm every Wednesday and are a friendly club and welcoming
everyone interested in photography, beginners and professionals alike.
Camera School
Last month Tony described the use of the Aperture. This time it is the second control
- the shutter speed.
Shutter Speed
The dial on your camera will have either Tv (Time
value) or S (speed) depending on make. This lets you
control the shutter speed but lets the camera control the
other variables (aperture and ISO). This is called
Shutter Priority.
Shutter speeds are in fractions of a second or whole
seconds such as 1/250 of a second written as 250 or 2
seconds written as 2”. In most cases you will be using
fractions of a second. The longer you leave the shutter
open, the more light you let in (useful on dull days) but the more likely any
movement will be visible.
For many pictures you can use a speed in the region of 1/60 to 1/125.
To get sharp pictures of moving objects you need faster shutter speeds. If there is
movement (e.g. children running) you need at least 1/250 to 1/500. For sports you
need a faster speed 1/800 or even 1/1000 for birds in flight. The trouble with these
very fast speeds is that you need more light, more on this
problem later.
Slower shutter speeds are also useful as they can show a
dreamy effect in moving water, for example, but for these
photos the camera needs to be very steady and it is best to use a
tripod.
So you now know how to use Aperture and Shutter priorities. Next we will be
discussing ISO and then how to take full manual control of your camera.

Deepest apologies to the Great Ormesby WI whose report went out last month
under the ‘Nightingales’ - Sorry Sandra, will try to get myself together!!!
GREAT ORMESBY W.I.
12th April we attended the Centenary Celebration of the Norfolk
Federation of WIs. We paraded our rather lengthy and ancient banner
along with all the other WIs. in the Norfolk area. It was a lovely service
taken by the Dean of Norwich, the Very Revd. Jane Hedges.
Our April meeting was 'A Love of Orchids' the speaker was Robyn Mc
Donald who told us the history of the flowers, the power and wealth they
represented in earlier times to the cultivation of the modern orchids we
find in the shops today. Julie's homemade cake was a hit with us all!
Our May meeting starts early for lunch then we discuss the resolutions
moving forward to the National Meeting in June. July we are dressing
up in full garden party mode complete with hats to attend The Centenary
Garden Party at East Ruston Vicarage Garden. If our program has
tempted you, come and join us you will be very welcome. We meet 2nd
Wednesday of the month at Bracecamp Hall. Sandra McCullough
ROLLESBY & DISTRICT W.I.
At the April meeting Alan Gray came along with Kim Reynolds (our
new official WI advisor) who introduced herself to members.
Unsurprisingly, given the title of his talk, "You Cannot Be Serious" Alan
talked about his life as a National & International Tennis Umpire, his
role at Wimbledon and recounted a wide range of anecdotes. Fascinating.
Some members had enjoyed an evening at the Greyhound Stadium and a
report from the Federation Centenary Annual Meeting was given - the
event had culminated with an outstanding performance by Pam Ayres.
The monthly competition for a pretty vase was won by a new member
Kathy Suckamore. The May meeting is Resolutions and Quiz night and
will take place on the 13th when we will be discussing the Decline in
local Bus Services and Don’t Fear the Smear. The competition is - an
Animal Ornament. Pam Mayhew
18THE ORMESBY & DISTRICT ‘NIGHTINGALES’ WI
The Nightingales re-started with a new committee and have some very
exciting programmes planned. In February there was a talk about Hats,
by Gee Kay Hat Designs, how they are made to order and no two hats
look alike. The March meeting of the Nightingales was a wonderful
massage session given by Lorraine Roberts who talked us through her
career and gave the group neck massages. The April meeting on the
23rd is our Birthday party and the May meeting on 28th is entitled
“Recycling with a difference.” Although we are a small group we have
plenty of interesting speakers and events. We are planning some
outings so why not come along and get involved and put your ideas
forward. All ladies are welcome to join us for an evening to see if the
WI is for you, we meet on the 4th Tues of the month at Ormesby Village
Centre 7pm onwards. We enjoy tea, coffee and biscuits - sometimes
something a little more exciting. For further information email

35CONGRATULATIONS ISLA MARY-JEAN COOK
Sarah and Alex Cook were married
at St Margaret Church during 2016
and so we were thrilled to welcome
them back recently to baptise their
new baby, Isla May-Jean.
The children in the baptism party had
fun filling the font from jugs of water,
ready for the big moment.
Isla will be
supported in her
spiritual life by her
godparents Aimee-
Grace Day, Daniel
Perryman and Katie
Wright.
