FROM THE RECTORY….
In a few days time we shall again give thanks for the Liberation of our
Island in the Spring of 1945 from Nazi occupation, and I invite you to
not only make a holiday of Friday 9 May, but to gather at Ebenezer
Methodist Church at 9.15 am to give thanks, to join in with the Island
celebrations, and to find a quiet moment to reflect on the human cost
of victory in the war in Europe that once again brought liberty to the
Channel Islands. Thereafter there is of course the traditional Sitting of
the States, and then the service, re-enactments and celebrations in
Liberation Square which are always worth attending. But 2014 also
brings the one hundredth anniversary of the commencement of the
First World War. Britain declared war on Germany on 4 August 1914
and none could have foreseen the protracted horrors that followed.
On Sunday 3 August this year there will be special services at the
Parish Church, services of remembrance and of vigil - more details will
be available nearer the time. However, now is a good time, if you
haven’t already, to engage with the Royal British Legion’s 2014
Commemorative Poppy Seed Campaign. This invites us to sow
Flanders poppy seeds this spring and over the next four years as an
act of remembrance and commemoration. These seeds can be sown
in the garden, hedgerows or open spaces so that their flowers will be
a poignant reminder of all those who served and fell. The British
Legion is selling seeds through B&Q and the modest price includes a
donation to the RBL and their work. I commend this simple and
imaginative initiative to you.
Thank you to all who feel able to respond to the Christian Aid
collection, your kindness and thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.
May we live simply, that others may simply live.
In all the remembering, all the busyness and festivities of this month,
may we know God’s blessing and peace.
Canon Geoff Houghton
