The 4th Commandment - Take a break!
July beckons and warm weather and school holidays encourage us to take a
break, to slow down, and refresh for the autumn term ahead of us. We all need to
take time out in order to be able to give of our best when we are back at school or
work, paid or voluntary.
In fact God commands us to do it! The Ten Commandments in the Bible's Old
Testament are often thought of as a list of negatives, things not to do. And it's true
there is a list of 'do nots' things like: You must not commit murder. You must not
steal. You must not give false evidence against your neighbour.
But there are positive instructions too: the 'dos' rather than the 'do nots' and these
seem to me specifically about building positive relationships between us and God
and with one another (i.e. respect your father and mother), although arguably trying
hard to keep all the ten commandments will help strengthen that bond.
There is one commandment that seems quite a gift to us, especially as we move into
the holiday season the 4th Commandment: 'observe the Sabbath and keep it holy
. You have six days in which to do your work, but the seventh is a day of rest '.
God is recognising our need to take time out. He's also suggesting we use that time to
strengthen, our understanding and relationship with Him. It's a gift of time from God
to us. Simple to read; hard to do.
Yet we do need, in our busy, hectic lives, that special time out. Sometimes it's referred
to as 'Sabbathing'. Maybe that's a helpful expression for those of us who can't make
that time out on a Sunday, but do need to find it sometime. A regular slot for resting in
God. Letting God's peace and calm into our rush and bustle.
So my prayer for this holiday season is that each and every one of us might find that
special time when we can stop all those things we think we just have to do, but maybe
don't really, and just rest with God.
Jesus encouraged his community to keep the Sabbath, although it's fair to say he
wasn't afraid to use his gifts to help others on that day. But he did support one day in
the week for God, and a day not to work per se, but to be as a community, as a family.
The church is not the Vicar or the Ministry Team or indeed the building. The Church is
a family and it is the community.
Whatever you do this summer I hope you find time for Sabbathing special times of
rest and refreshment and fun with your family and with your community.
Have a great summer
Much Love
Revd Jane

Thank you
Can you remember anything significant that happened to you in 1977? Avril
Chamberlain can. It's the year she volunteered to deliver Village Link magazine
in Back Lane and Hillings Way. She's being doing it ever since, whatever the
weather. At a conservative estimate, that's about 14,000 magazines that she
has delivered over the years, a quite remarkable achievement. Now she has
decided to call it a day so a huge 'thank you' and 'well done' Avril.
Which means we need someone to take over the round. There are 36
properties and ten deliveries per year. The bundle of magazines would be
delivered to you, usually on the last Saturday of the month. If you are able to
help, please contact Roger Haywood on 01553 630301 or email
haywood301@btinternet.com.

BACKACHE
Backache is common, often coming on
suddenly with excruciating pain.
However, seeing the doctor
immediately is unlikely to help. Pain in
a leg is common and is due to sciatica.
Take adequate painkilling medication
such as paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Rest for up to 24 hours, but then be as
active as you can to mobilise and
strengthen your back, returning to work
as soon as possible. Prolonged rest
can cause further damage.
When to see the doctor
If backache fails to improve after
two weeks
If you have difficulty controlling
bladder or bowels
If you have weakness or
numbness of a leg

TiddlyPotts Playgroup+
Last month we celebrated our first year of opening with a fun Birthday Party! The
children enjoyed having their faces painted, making sparkly party crowns, planting
sunflowers, circus skills and a scrummy snack time!! The children were given
party bags containing yummy treats and the adults especially enjoyed the
birthday cake and hot chocolate with marshmallows and squirty cream!! We all
sang Happy Birthday to TiddlyPotts in cheerful chorus and it was a group effort to
blow out all the candles!
Thank you to everyone that came and made the morning special. A big thank you
to Crazy Bananas (Sally) for coming along and entertaining the children, we really
appreciate your support.
June was a busy month for us with our birthday celebrations as well as a visit
from Tempest Photography and The Barnado's Big Toddle fundraiser. As we head
into the last few weeks of the term we are sad to be saying goodbye to some of
our Tiddlers as they go off to 'Big School' in September. We wish them all the very
best in this new and exciting stage of their lives....we will miss them very much!
TiddlyPotts opens 9:30 - 11:30 every Friday during term time at Pott Row
Methodist Church. If you haven't been before, please pop down and see us for a
taster session (1.50 per child, 50p for additional children). We run an allocated
space system which Emma or Dionne will be happy to discuss with you.
