Dear friends
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you…
Those words might have come from Carry On the French Revolution
rather than the pen of Rudyard Kipling yet they strike me as a timely
reminder of how we might live well in these times of immense
challenge. There are people across the world who have lived with
war, rampant in ation, fuel poverty (to name but a few of crises) for
centuries but now that the af uent, capitalist democracies of the north
and west are embroiled in life-changing events no economic system
can control we’re all caught up in a time of blame and calls for others
to lose their heads metaphorically and, in a few cases, literally.
A good place to learn how to keep your head, guratively, is church.
Yes, we have our share of hotheads and blather-mouths for churches
are hospitals for living better far more than they are exemplars of
perfection. Yet churches are two very signi cant things for today.
Firstly, as buildings they are open just because they are open, free and
easy to enter, inclusive, adaptable, beautiful and with a strong
tradition of connection and rootedness across time and space. They
are places in which, for centuries, ordinary everyday people like you
and me have sought refuge, sanctuary, a place to wrestle with and
understand our desires, our hopes, and fears.
And, secondly, churches are communities of welcome and hospitality
where the last and the least are the most signi cant, and where the
motivations of greed, sel shness and contempt are transformed. I’ll
admit that sometimes you’d have to look hard and long to discover
that amongst the nonsense of church life but it is there, shining away.
Thirty ve years ago (on 5th July) I was ordained priest, and this year
our curate Angie Kateley will be ordained priest and given the tasks
for which none of us capable without the love and support of the
communities we serve. Later this year, from September onwards, I’ll
have a chance to step back and re ect for a few months about how to
keep my head when all around are losing theirs. I invite you to
ponder that, too, and to wonder about how church as place and as
community might serve you in these fearful times.
Mark Godson

Be More Dog by Kenny Borthwick
When loved ones come home, run to greet them (kisses optional)
Never pass the opportunity for a joy ride.
Allow the experience of wind and fresh air in your face
to be pure ecstasy, rather than an inconvenience.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention, and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie down under a tree.
When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you’re not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by,
and nuzzle them gently.
Be more dog.

CHRISTIANS TOGETHER
Welcoming Ukrainian Refugees
The Golden Valley Ukranian Welcome Group (GVUKG) first met, very
tentatively, on 2 April at Belmont , since when much progress has been
made. After a lot of research, it has been found that the best way to
proceed with offering shelter and care for those fleeing Ukraine is through
the Diocese of Hereford , who are working closely with Citizens UK who
have representatives on the ground in Ukraine and Poland. The Diocese
has produced comprehensive and well thought out guidance to help
potential hosts and supporters.
6.5 million people have fled Ukraine, of whom 4 million are in Poland
where resources are at breaking point.
There have been 190 offers of accommodation in Hereford so far.
Anyone able to offer accommodation will then be matched with people
from Ukraine and will be helped through that process, and then supported
by, the GVUWG. A number of people in this group have already offered
accommodation and many have offered help and support in a wide variety
of ways. Offers are welcome from people able to provide separate
accommodation or in bedrooms in their houses.
Anyone able to offer accommodation should contact Sarah Roberts:
(ciderbarnsarah@hotmail.co.uk)
If you feel you are able to offer support or help in any other way
or would like some more information or guidance
please contact Sue Young (sue@2youngs.co.uk)

ARTS & CRAFTS COMMUNITY CENTRE
We have almost come to the end of our recent schedule of courses. They
have been very well attended, with some over-subscribed, and the
participants have all enjoyed their time learning or revisiting a skill, chatting
and relaxing.
Our intention now is that those who want to pursue the skills they have
learnt can come along on Friday mornings to St Michael’s Hall to use the
equipment we have assembled from the courses and carry on learning or
creating new projects. These Friday drop-in coffee mornings (10am-1pm)
are also an opportunity to bring along other craft projects to work on and to
enjoy time with others, and there will usually be people on hand to discuss
projects, offer help and provide advice.
We are also considering starting themed Fridays where we will have
experienced individuals demonstrating and offering advice about particular
crafts and arts, and who will be available for questions and discussion. Your
feedback about this would be very helpful. Please come along and talk to
us or email us on ehcraftcentre@yahoo.com.
Meanwhile the Trustees continue to await progress towards signing the
lease for the Arts Centre site.
Also a little something from Carey.
“It is now a year since my accident in the garden of The Cedars. I just
wanted to let you know, that there is not a day that goes by that I do not
think about the kindness of people supporting me through the healing
process and continuing to notice that I am still improving.
The paramedics and the fire brigade on 27th May 2021 were amazing,
calmly talking to me whilst assessing the damage and making the
manoeuvre off the bank (which was not easy) and into the ambulance.
Thank you to everyone.”
Christening
If you missed out on a Christening for your child during the last few
years and would like to arrange one now, please get in touch

WALTERSTONE CHURCH Walterstone bells – Peace & Good Neighbourhood There are two bells in the small bell cote of Walterstone church, and we were concerned to discover following a visit by Roy Williams the Diocesan Belfry Advisor, that they and their equipment were probably unsafe and needed to be removed and repaired if they were ever to ring again. We started on the journey of finding out what needed to be done, and how we might pay for it. We are delighted to report that, thanks to some very generous individuals and two promises of funding (from the Herefordshire Historic Churches Trust and Laslett’s Charities), we are now very close to our funding target and can plan the project with confidence. Many thanks to all concerned! The message “Peace and Good Neighbourhood” is inscribed on our larger bell and we look forward to hearing it ring out again when the job is done! WALTERSTONE COMMUNITY LUNCHES June 12th and July 17th Any queries or special requests, do get in touch with Fran (07833 643005) or Rachel (07821 276834). New faces, and new team members very welcome! KENTCHURCH Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. Hopefully by now everyone will have found and dusted off their bunting and flags from previous celebrations in readiness for the Jubilee weekend to commemorate the extraordinary reign of Her Majesty the Queen. There’s plenty to join in within our locality over the weekend…. whether it be walking up Garway Hill to be present for the lighting of the Beacon on Thursday evening or popping to Pontrilas for Afternoon Tea at 4pm on Friday afternoon with children’s fancy dress and best decorated hat competitions; or visiting Kentchurch at 4.00 pm on Saturday afternoon with a walk through the beautiful Kentchurch Court gardens followed by tea and cake in the old Stables before a special thanksgiving service at St. Mary’s at 6.00 pm which will finish with a loyal toast. Hopefully this Jubilee weekend will be a time when friends, neighbours and communities will be able to come together to celebrate the long and glorious reign of our Queen Elizabeth II. Also at St Mary’s, as with all churches across the nation, the bells will be rung to mark the occasion and the church will be decorated with flowers and everyone is welcome to join in with the celebrations.
FALKLANDS 40th Anniversary Cathedral Service
Sunday 19th June 3.30pm
On the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War we remember all the British
servicemen and civilians that served in the task force, particularly those who
paid the ultimate sacrifice. The re-capture of the Falklands by the British forces
was a most remarkable feat of arms, with all three Services playing their part to
the utmost.
Our thoughts are with the bereaved families of the 255 men who died during
the conflict. The impact to our county of Herefordshire was significant, 28 of
those killed had roots in Herefordshire together with HMS Antelope, the
adopted warship of Hereford City which was sunk by Argentine aircraft.
The Royal British Legion have created a message board for those wishing to
pay a tribute and honour the lives and sacrifices made at britishlegion.org.uk
The Tudors: Passion, Power and Politics - a once-in-a-generation

Collection and some exceptional loans, including two of the National
Museum of the Royal Navy’s Armada Maps, the College of Arms’ Westminster
Tournament Roll, Historic Royal Palaces’ Bristowe Hat and the Bacton Altar
Cloth believed to have been made from the only surviving fragment of one
of Elizabeth I’s dresses.

paragraph below. How many can you find? One person found 15 books in
twenty minutes; it took him 3 weeks just to find the 16th one. HAVE FUN!
I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. A certain luke, kept
people looking so hard for facts, and for others, it was a revelation. Some were in a
jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalised. But the truth
nally struck home to numbers of our readers. To others it was a job. We want it to
be a most fascinating little moment for you. Yes, there will be some really easy
ones to spot. Others may require judges to help nd them. I will quickly admit it
usually takes a minister to nd one of them, and there will be loud lamentations
when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate
better. See how you will compete. Relax now, for there really are sixteen books of
the Bible in this paragraph.

fiDEANERY UPDATE
Be quick! If you’d like to hear John Bell of the Iona Community on June
7th 2022, book a ticket as soon as you can. He will be at Peterchurch in
the afternoon for a workshop “Believing outside the box” and will be in
Tyberton in the evening speaking on “The Celtic Tradition”. Tickets
available via Eventbrite or through the office
Other events as part of the Tyberton Spirituality Talks are listed on the
website, where you will also find more details about the next in our
series of Hedgerow Communions which takes place at Clodock on
Tuesday June 21st.
The annual Visitation service, when Churchwardens are sworn in, will be
at Eaton Bishop Church on 30th June at 7pm, followed by a bring and
share supper at the village hall.
You will shortly begin to see some services in this newsletter described
as Sunday Worship with Communion. Some Clusters will be familiar
with this as it was previously known as Communion by Extension. At
present, our Licensed Lay Minister (LLM), Diane Bates will be the usual
person taking these services. Diane will attend a Holy Communion
service conducted earlier by a priest and will receive the blessed bread
and wine at that service which she will then bring and share at the
service of Worship with Communion.
In the first week of July, you may well see a group walking the Golden
Valley Pilgrim Way. This will be the Wanatchee Trinity Church Girls’
Choir from Washington State, USA. They’ll be walking the whole route
and singing Evensong each evening along the way. It would be great if
you could join in the Evensong nearest you. More details next month
and on the website.
The Gathering on 10th May allowed an opportunity to exchange ideas
about some of the ongoing projects in the Deanery such as Grow
Strong, Stay and Play, Enabling Worship Course, Pilgrimage Project etc.
We’ll be holding another Gathering in the autumn – look out for details
nearer the time.
After almost a year working with us, Angie (our Deanery Curate), will be
priested at a special celebration at Hereford Cathedral on Saturday 2nd
July at 4.30pm. All are welcome to come along to this service, arrive
early for a good view!
The following day, Sunday 3rd July, at 11am, Angie will celebrate her
first Holy Communion as a priest at St Michael’s, Michaelchurch Escley.
This special service will be followed by a bring and share lunch at
Escleyside Hall. Please come along to support our curate on this very
special day. It would be helpful to have an idea of numbers attending
on 3rd July, both the service and the lunch; can you please contact your
Churchwarden in the first instance who will then pass on numbers from
their respective parishes.
