Dear Friends,
As many of you will know, a group of about 16 church members met during Lent in the welcome area of the Church for lunch and Lent Study. From the CD accompanying the course one of the “experts”, an American by the name of Jim Wallis recounted an interesting story…..
“…the papers in Kansas City that week had a whole series on how horrible the public schools were in the inner city, Kansas City - almost all young children of colour - and the stories told horror stories, and how terrible the schools were. And so on Sunday, Adam (the minister) held up this newspaper and said, 'You've all been reading these stories this week in the paper, right, about the schools, and how bad they are.' And they all nodded - you could see people nodding their heads - he said, 'What was your first thought when you read those stories?' And people were very quiet. He said, 'I know what your first thought was: "I'm glad my kids don't go to those terrible schools. Wasn't that your first thought?” And they all looked kind of stunned, and he said, “That's not a Christian thought. Sorry, not a Christian thought. Our first thoughts should be, How do we change this? How do we make this better? How do we make this different? So, offering plates are coming around right now. Don't put money in. Take out one of the pieces of paper. On it you'll find the name and the phone number of a school principal, teacher or custodian - janitor - who works in the public schools. Call them. Ask them how you can help them.”
That was the beginning - an altar call if you will - and now what happens is Church of the Resurrection every summer takes a school - or two or three - and with a 10,000 member congregation they renovate the school. With their construction people, their librarians, they construct a new library and fill it with books; they do playgrounds. They take a horrible school and turn it back as a new school, by the fall. And they don't say, 'And now put us in charge of sex education.' They do it because they're trying to be the presence of Christ and the love of God in that place. And people are drawn to them in droves, because they're doing the things that someone ought to be doing. And young people see this and they say, 'Look at what the

with books; they do playgrounds. They take a horrible school and turn it back as a new school, by the fall. And they don't say, 'And now put us in charge of sex education.' They do it because they're trying to be the presence of Christ and the love of God in that place. And people are drawn to them in droves, because they're doing the things that someone ought to be doing. And young people see this and they say, 'Look at what the Church is doing - no one's doing this.' So they try and do the things that someone should be doing for the sake of the parish and the community. And people are drawn to the mission of the Church, before they even become Christians, which is interesting. And along the way they say, 'Why do you do this stuff?” And they say, “We do it because of Jesus Christ.” And they come to Christ.”
I write this on Maundy Thursday as I’m drawn to remember Jesus washing the feet of his disciples.
God bless,

THANK YOU
Thank you for the Church flowers given to us for our Silver Wedding Anniversary, also the cards and good wishes.
Rita & Gordon Jackson
I was very grateful for the cards, wishes and kindness received after my hip operation. What really overwhelmed me, however, was the warmth of greetings given to me when able to attend Church again. I felt wrapped around with the loving care of a family and was so deeply moved that my THANK YOU seems quite inadequate.
Una Peters
Many thanks once again for the flowers brought to me last Sunday after Church for my birthday - another year to add on! Also to Mr Tony Emberson who kindly delivered them.
Lilwen Watkins
We wish to thank everyone for their support and prayers in the last few months. Doreen is very happy in the Nursing Home and is well looked after.
Doreen & Betty
I would like to say thank you for all the prayers, cards and best wishes during and after my stay in hospital. Also for the lovely Church flowers
delivered by Joan Padley and for her staying to have a chat to Pat. I am now feeling much better after having my fourth stent fitted and hope to return to Church soon.
Robin Croker
Thank you for the lovely Church flowers brought to me by Liz. They were very much appreciated. Margaret Temple

THE WELL
Most people are aware that The Well Christian Bookshop and Café in West Street closed its doors in September last year. However, The Well charity remains in business and the property has recently been leased to “Blind Intuition”, a charity with a Christian ethos which supports people with sight impairment. If you have any old or redundant computer equipment they would be very happy to take it off your hands as they train people to refurbish it and then pass it on to visually impaired students and others, often with additional software to help such users.
They also operate a charity shop from the premises, so donations of goods would be much appreciated.
The Well’s trustees will be working over coming months to determine how best to continue with the original vision of Christian service to the town of Fareham; another update will be issued once the future becomes a bit clearer. Thank you

THE WAY I SEE IT
By David Winter, a former Head of BBC Religious Broadcasting who has contributed to Radio 4's 'Thought for the Day' for the past 22 years.
On Radio 5 Live, there’s a feature once a week in the afternoon when listeners are invited - indeed, urged - to phone in or text their biggest moans. This isn’t really intended for what one might call Major Whinges - the state of the NHS or poverty in sub-Saharan Africa - but for all those petty irritations that wind us up and that we feel a desperate need to get off our chests.
I always listen spell-bound, marvelling at how often I find that exactly the same things irritate me: the woman in front of me in the supermarket cash-out who half-way through the process discovers she forgot to get a tin of baked beans and disappears into the farthest reaches of the store to get it while we wait and fume. Or the man who fills his car with petrol and then spends twenty minutes doing his minor shopping or having a coffee while his car is parked at the pump that I want to use. Or the dog owner who couldn’t be bothered to pick up their dog’s mess, which eventually ends up on my shoes.
You see what I mean? They are petty irritations. They’re trivial, we know that, but they often upset us much more than the serious problems of life. For some reason, they really bug us. We know, in our heart of hearts, that we’re getting upset about things that really don’t matter, while at the same time sitting lightly to things that matter enormously. In other words, our sense of priorities has got distorted.
Priorities: that was the theme of the famous Sermon on the Mount of Jesus. Take a look at Matthew’s Gospel chapter 6, especially verse 19 to the end. We need to know, he says, what our true ‘treasure’ is. If we did, we wouldn’t worry about food, clothes, appearance and what might happen tomorrow - God knows we need them. Our priority would be ‘the kingdom of God and his righteousness’ - doing what God requires. Letting my blood pressure rise over someone’s tin of baked beans is, in the language of Jesus, ‘straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel’.
And I wouldn’t want to do that, would I? !!

JAPAN DISASTER
Strong connections with local churches in Japan have allowed disaster support personnel from Samaritan’s Purse to get direct assistance to people in the Sendai area, as they battle against the after effects of the earthquake and tsunami and the on-going crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Samaritan’s Purse has been providing medical assistance, and a UK DART (Disaster Assistance Response Team) has been sent in. In addition, it has chartered a Boeing 747 to airlift 90 tonnes of essential supplies including plastic sheeting, blankets, hygiene kits and community water filters to help the beleaguered communities of north east Japan.
An appeal to all UK churches has been issued. Anyone wishing to donate should log on to www.samaritans-purse.org.uk/donate or send a cheque to: Samaritans Purse International, Victoria House, Victoria Road, Buckhurst Hill, Essex, IG9 5EX.

UPDATE ON THE EARTHQUAKE IN CHRISTCHURCH
NEW ZEALAND
Following the earthquake that hit Christchurch on 22 February, Desmond Cooper, President of the Methodist Church New Zealand, issued a statement. It was on behalf of himself, the Vice-President, the General Secretary of the Methodist Church of New Zealand (Te hahi O Weteriana o Aotearoa), and also the leaders of New Zealand’s Methodist social service agencies.
The statement expressed ‘deep concern’ for the people of Christchurch, and praised the combined efforts of the government and emergency services in dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake. Tragically, three Methodists had been killed when a Methodist church in Durham Street had collapsed.
“Through all the turmoil and destruction, we draw strength from the way in which individuals from throughout New Zealand have responded; the outpouring of... compassion is something we can all be incredibly proud of.”
The ‘secondary phase’ of dealing with the earthquake is now underway, and the Methodist President promised that “We will also be involved .... assisting families and neighbourhoods, to rebuild lives, livelihoods and communities.”
The Methodist Church in Britain has sent a solidarity grant of £20,000 from the World Mission Fund to the Methodist Church New Zealand.

THE TWO WOLVES
One evening an old hunter told his grandson about what goes on inside of people. He described it this way: “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is angry, proud, jealous, greedy and arrogant. The other is Good. It is peaceful, humble, generous, truthful, merciful and compassionate”.
The grandson thought about it for a minute. “Which wolf wins?”
The old hunter replied simply, “Easy. The one you feed.”

VISITING THE SICK IN HOSPITAL
From the patients viewpoint
You don’t actually want to be there. Nobody would choose to spend a week or a fortnight in hospital. Yet sooner or later most of us will, and when we do we shall be ‘visited’. Family and friends, and possibly the
dutiful vicar or pastor, will come and sit at our bedside. It’s nice to see them, of course, but in a way they are like messengers from another world.
In hospital - and it’s no criticism to say this - everything is strange and alien. You are woken very early. Meals come and go. Pills are administered. Our most intimate functions are no longer private. There’s the strange ritual of the doctors rounds. And at night, when you are used to peace and quiet, there is none. Your fellow patients cough, or snore, or push the buzzer for the nurse. The staff flit to and fro. Lights go on and off. Although you seem to have spent half of the day dozing, by some strange contradiction you can’t get to sleep at night.
Into this alien world come your visitors. Some come bearing gifts - grapes, perhaps, or if you’re lucky chocolate or a newspaper. Some sit and look sympathetically at us, sighing slightly and asking with heavy emphasis how we are. Some ask about our symptoms, or when we expect to go home. And some, the very worst, insist on telling us about their own experience of just the same problem, or even about someone they know who died of it.
Truthfully, patients in hospital don’t particularly want sympathy, or a cross-examination about their illness and its treatment. What they principally want from their visitors is a whiff of normality, a reminder that there is a world outside, of which they are still a part. They want to know all the gossip, to feel connected to the familiar world of home and Church and club.
The beloved is permitted to hold one’s hand and even look anxious (we rather like that). For the rest, come in, sit down, regale us with a few stories and then - after about forty minutes maximum - please go. That’s really the secret of being a good hospital visitor.

Inspired by the Film
THE KING’S SPEECH
The words that flow from page to eye
And from there to our mind,
Which then gives shape to voice’s sigh
And structure, as the vapours fly
The sound of the Divine!
A wondrous gift from God above
To read, and speak, and hear;
The words of strength, the words of love
And words which, gentle as a dove,
Can quell the sense of fear.
As with King George, the chain may break
By unkind twist of chance;
For some may struggle words to make
Or deafness may the meaning take
And yet - they still advance
We see them strive to overcome
Through courage, strength, and heart.
They may be deaf, they may be dumb,
But meaning shines as bright as sun -
And we’ve the humbler part!
Far greater cause of pitying tear -
That we misuse our gifts;
Our words of hatred, words of fear,
And careless words which, like a spear
Can wound, and cause deep rifts.
So, as we think of our late king
Perhaps we should reflect,
And rid our speech of everything
That may cause pain or suffering -
And fill it with respect!

1 MAY DAY
May is the month when the ancient pagans used to get up to all sorts! The Romans held their festival to honour the mother-goddess Maia, goddess of nature and growth. (May is named after her.) The early Celts celebrated the feast of Beltane, in honour of the sun god, Beli.
For centuries in ‘Olde England’ the people went mad in May. After the hardship of winter, and hunger of early Spring, May was a time of indulgence and unbridled merriment. One Philip Stubbes, writing in 1583, was scandalised: “for what kissing and bussing, what smooching and slabbering one of another, is not practised?”
Henry VIII went ‘maying’ on many occasions. Then folk would stay out all night in the dark rain-warm thickets, and return in the morning for dancing on the green around the May pole, archery, vaulting, wrestling, and that evening, bonfires.
The Protestant reformers took a strong stand against May Day - and in 1644 May Day was abolished altogether. Many May poles came down - only to go up again at the Restoration, when the first May Day of King Charles’s reign was “the happiest Mayday that hath been many a year in England”, according to Pepys.
May Day to most people today brings vague folk memories of a young Queen of the May decorated with garlands and streamers and flowers, a May Pole to weave, Morris dancing, and the intricacies of well dressing at Tissington in Derbyshire.
May Day is a medley of natural themes such as sunrise, the advent of summer, growth in nature, and - since 1833 - Robert Owen’s vision of a millennium in the future, beginning on May Day, when there would be no more poverty, injustice or cruelty, but in harmony and friendship. This is why, in modern times, May Day has become Labour Day, which honours the dignity of workers. And until recently, in communist countries May Day processions were in honour of the achievement of Marxism.
There has never been a Christian content to May Day, but nevertheless there is the well known 6.00 am service on the top of Magdalene Tower at Oxford where a choir sings in the dawn of May Day.
An old May carol includes the lines:
The life of man is but a span,
it flourishes like a flower
We are here today, and gone tomorrow
- we are dead within an hour.
There is something of a sadness about it, both in words and tune, as there is about all purely sensuous joy. For May Day is not Easter, and the joys it represents have always been earth-bound and fleeting.

WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY MEANS ....
A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!" His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means?
The son replied, "I do know!" "Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?
"That's easy, Daddy..." the young boy replied excitedly, "It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.'

BUDGET 2011 -
Churches Welcome Proposal on Gift Aid Declarations
The Church of England, as well as other churches, has warmly welcomed the recent Budget proposal on gift aid. Now charities and community amateur sports clubs will not need to obtain gift aid declarations for small donations of £10 or less up to an annual maximum of £5,000.
The Bishop of Exeter, Chairman of the Churches' Legislation Advisory Service (CLAS), said:
"The Government's announcement that from April 2013 charities will no longer have to provide gift aid declarations for small donations of £10 or less is very good news for churches.
“Being able to make Gift Aid claims on loose collections will be valuable in itself - but perhaps even more valuable is the time that it will save hard-pressed church treasurers. The present system, with Gift Aid envelopes and the associated record-keeping, is incredibly time-consuming and we will be delighted to see an end to it as soon as possible."

WHY LAUGHTER LITERALLY IS ‘GOOD MEDICINE’
Here is something you would never have guessed: laughter can literally help wounds to heal more quickly.
Scientists at Leeds University have discovered that in wounds where the patient needs to stimulate blood flow for healing, there is something more they can do than use compression bandages and support stockings and exercise . . . . They can laugh.
Having a hearty chuckle gets the diaphragm moving, which in turn increases the blood flow around the body, which then increases the amount of blood sent to the wound, which aids healing!
It’s all enough to make you smile . . .
