Rev Dr Alex Baker

St Cuthbert’s Church.

June 2020

Dear Friends,

As I write this I feel like shouting “Land Ahoy”! The last few

months have seen our parish, the church, the country and indeed the

world change at a very rapid pace and in dramatic ways in order to

counter the threat of the Coronavirus. That change has brought with it a

sense of turbulent seas and on occasion the need to batten down the

hatches. But I think I can, at long last sense hope on the horizon. The

government has issued new guidance and the Church of England is fully

engaged in the process of risk assessments and planning so that we

might be able to open our church more fully again. I expect more

announcements in the near future as to when and how this can happen.

Currently the church can be opened on request for private prayer and if

anyone would like to access the building to pray please contact Stephen

our Church Warden.

If you have been joining us for the Sunday Zoom worship some

of you will know that last weekend we watched a message from Bishop

Bev who, rejoicing in Glen’s change of role from reader to Curate,

emphasised the continuance of our church. In her words “Our buildings

may be closed but our church remains open”. One of the great joys

over the last few months that has given me hope has been witnessing

how our Church and community have pulled together in amazing ways

to offer care and support for one another. The turbulent waters have

meant we have had to change course frequently and try many new

things. It is a wonderful witness to the commitment of our congregation

that so many of you have been able to join in as we try new ways of

worship online. Who would have thought 6 months ago that so many

would have been able to learn the new IT skills, cope with the change in

format and style and engage in these new ways of doing things? Whilst

I hope that we will soon get back to something more closely resembling

normal I hope and pray that that sense of commitment, community,

willingness to try new things and resilience will stay with us. Speaking

of new things, I bring news of great joy!

I have the great pleasure of formally announcing Glen’s change of role.

Glen who is well known to you all as one of our readers has been

working phenomenally hard to cram a three-year ordination course into

two and has now been duly licenced to our united benefice as Curate. It

is the first time in history that the diocese has licenced curates before

their ordination, but that is just another of the ‘corona-quirks’ requiring

change. God willing Glen will be ordained deacon in just a few months

time and will be priested as planned next year.

Finally, it gives me great pleasure to announce the arrival of Rev

Ian Hopkins who will come to us with a Bishop’s licence as our new

Interim Minister. Ian has previously been Vicar and Rector of one of the

largest churches in Edinburgh. Indeed, it was to Ian’s church I was sent

on one of my placements as an ordinand. Ian has been specialising in

interim ministry for some years and brings with him a wealth of

experience and expertise in helping parishes like ours prepare for their

next incumbent. If all things go to plan Ian is due to start in the benefice

on the 14th of July and is likely to be with us for 2 years or so. With you I

look forward to being able to welcome him to our wonderful parish and

hopefully soon into the magnificent building.

Please continue to pray for Ian and Glen and for our united

benefice as we seek to grow together in faith and discern God’s will for

ourselves, our parishes and our communities asking God for a bigger

Church making a bigger difference with more people coming to faith and

more social justice in the world.

Yours in Christ,

Alex

The Curate writes...

Hello everyone, by the time you read this letter I will have been licensed to our United Benefice as a Curate, and this is something entirely new, as because of Covid19 and the lockdown, ordinands have been unable to be ordained. This caused a rapid rethink as many ordinands were due to move to parishes and new homes. The Bishops and the legal people came up with a clever plan, and so we become licensed as curates before we become deacons, which will hopefully be at the end of September in Liverpool Cathedral. Strange times, so many changes and the churches as they have throughout the centuries have needed to adapt, and I’m proud to say that in this benefice we have. Whoever thought so many people would join for a Zoom Service on Sunday Mornings, followed by chats and a coffee from our own living room. Wonderful to realise too, that we have some people joining in our worship who are new to church. Now I’m often asked won’t it be wonderful to be back in our beautiful church and of course it will, but, we will still need to demonstrate the amazing flexibility that we have shown so far! It will be different, and it will be some time before so many of the things we hold dear about our worship are able to resume. We’ve shown we can do this, we in our benefice have shown we can manage the changes. We have shown the richness of our communities, the strength of our faith and so much care for each other. There will be changes, but we have proved we can do change and thrive. I am so happy to be licensed as a curate to this wonderful benefice and humbled by the friendship and support I have been shown from the ministry team and both churches, thank you all so much. Please keep me in your prayers as I shall keep you in mine, as we move forward together to embrace whatever changes and challenges lie ahead as lockdown eases.

Best wishes Glen.

This prayer has been passed to me by Joe Croft who many of you will know as a member of St Thomas Choir. He has found it great comfort over the years, and he hopes that if you live alone you will too. Glen A Prayer if you live alone. I live alone Dear Lord, stay by my side. In all my daily needs, be thou my guide. Grant me good health, indeed I pray, To carry on my work, day by day. Keep pure my mind , my every deed. Help me to be kind in my neighbours need. Spare me from evil, floods and fire That I may strive and never tire. If sickness or an accident befall, Humbly Lord I pray hear thou my call, And when I’m feeling low and in despair, Lift up my heart and help me in my prayer. I live alone Dear Lord, and have no fear, Because I feel your presence ever near Amen

News From Your Parish Council

The Government have now issued the regulations that give local authorities greater flexibility in the conduct of meetings, including allowing members to attend remotely, and for public and press access to those meetings. These ‘Regulations’ (The Local Authorities and Police and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020) came into force on 4 April 2020. The next meeting of Halsall Parish Council will therefore take place on Wednesday 8th July 2020 at 7 pm using ZOOM and the agenda will be published on the www.halsallparish.com website at least 3 clear working days before the meeting is due to be held. Please note that until such time as Government advice changes the Council will continue to hold remote meetings. Members of the public who wish to attend should follow the guidelines listed below. Before the meeting:-

1. The Agenda will be placed on the website and on the notice board (if possible) as normal (i.e. with three clear days of notice).

This includes any inappropriate backdrops on display on the video.

10. The Council will discuss, via email, prior to the meeting any items which are considered sufficiently confidential as to warrant exclusion of members of the press and public under the provisions of The Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960 and will advise, if appropriate, of the outcome of any discussions at the meeting.

11. The Clerk will end the ZOOM meeting once business has been concluded.

Report from Halsall St Cuthbert’s Primary

Admissions and Staffing

In September, we have 23 new children starting in the reception class. The staff have

been busy preparing and sending out welcome packs, to help parents best prepare their

child/ren for the big day. We’re confident that they’ll all have a brilliant time and love

coming to school. Staffing for the academic year 2010/2021 remains the same. We are lucky to have such

a secure and stable staff that is committed to giving our children the best start to their

education. Many thanks to them all.

Key Worker Childcare

The school has continued to open each school day since lock down in mid-March, to

provide childcare for the children of key workers. This provision has continued through

both the Easter holiday period and the Spring Bank holiday period, including 2 bank

holidays. Members of staff have shown excellent commitment to this key worker

initiative, supervising on a rota basis, delivering short lessons in the core subjects and

planning a wide variety of exciting activities to keep the children busy and entertained.

Those that have attended have really enjoyed themselves and have made lots of new

friends.

School Re-Opening and Year 6

As you will be well aware, the government intended for schools to re-open to Reception,

Year 1 and Year 6 pupils on 1st June. Such an initiative was dependent upon its 5 strict

conditions regarding the pandemic, being met. Lancashire’s Director of Public Health

was concerned that these conditions had not been met in Lancashire and subsequently

schools were advised to delay any return. Following a further review however, schools

were encouraged to open their doors to more pupils from Monday 22nd June. Our year 6

cohort returned on 22nd June. Our year 5 cohort then returned on 29th June. We are so pleased that all the year 6 children returned to school WC 22nd June. It was so

important that they received that boost in confidence prior to their transition to

secondary school. Work that they do in this last month, especially in the areas of reading

comprehension, punctuation, writing and mathematics, should certainly help them when

they move on. And it’ll also give them the closure that they need after a happy period

learning and playing with the friends. We still have hopes of organising a short Leavers’

Service at the end of the term when the year 6 will reminisce about their special times at

Halsall St Cuthbert’s. They’ll also receive their Leavers’ Bibles and Almanacs and the

annual Leavers’ Prizes will be awarded.

Standards

Due to the pandemic and lock down, pupil attainment could not be formally assessed

through the Year 6 SATS, Key Stage 1 SATS, Year 1 Phonics and EYFS profiles. All were

cancelled. No attainment data is being requested this year by the DFES.

Mrs Galley’s year 6 predictions however were :

Reading WT 10% EXP 50% GD 40% 90%

Writing WT 10% EXP 55% GD 35% 90%

SPAG WT 10% EXP 55% GD 35% 90%

Maths WT 0% EXP 60% GD 40% 100%

These predicted grades show that the cohort was on track to attain excellent results in

the 2020 SATS. A big well done and thanks to Mrs Galley, the staff, pupils and parents.

Another fabulous and notable achievement. This data would compare very favourably

against other schools, both within the LEA and nationally.

School Holidays

Both the year 4 and year 5 PGL adventure holidays and the Year 6 Llandudno trip have

had to be cancelled this year. The children were so looking forward to a few days away

with their best friends. Alas it was not to be. We’ve booked for next year already and it’s a

case of fingers crossed.

From all at Halsall St Cuthbert’s Primary, have a healthy, happy and

enjoyable summer holiday.

Take care and stay safe.

It's Scarecrow Time!!

We've had 72 scarecrows on display this year which is amazing. They are spread far and wide from the borders of Ainsdale to the borders of Aughton and the country lanes of Lydiate. You would be lucky to see them all unless you know where to look but luckily, you can admire them from your armchair by visiting

https://halsallscarecrows2020.weebly.com

Thank you to all those who have taken part. It has been particularly difficult this year to get hold of items to use because of lockdown, but thankfully many have rallied round and come up with some wonderful ideas.

Thank you also to Norman Rigby who has covered many miles on his bike discovering them all for us to see online. Pity we could not have our scarecrow trail weekend, but there is always next year. We have new ideas already planned for 2021 so watch this space!

Gardener`s Corner

July & August at-a-glance

July is peak flowering time for most gardens, while August is the culmination of months of effort. The garden is a paint box of summer colour, herbaceous borders zing with colour, bedding plants are blooming fit to bust & hanging baskets are full to the brim & in full swing. And if you fancy a change of scene, it`s a great time to go garden visiting. Summer is here – enjoy. Happy gardening.

General Garden Tasks Raise the cutting height of the lawn mower blades during hot dry spells. Avoid watering the lawn, except a new lawn in long dry spells. Prune & deadhead roses. Prune philadelphus & wisteria. Clip privet & other fast-growing hedges. Continue taking softwood cuttings of shrubs. Cut lavender for drying. Keep on top of deadheading plants & perennials. Divide old clumps of bearded irises & replant. Plant autumn flowering bulbs. Sow maincrop carrots, early peas, turnips, lettuce, radishes & spring cabbages. `Stop` outdoor tomatoes. Cut & dry or freeze herbs. Tidy strawberry beds & grow spare plants from runners. Harvest raspberries, redcurrents, blackcurrents & gooseberries. Train a standard fuchsia. Water & feed greenhouse plants more often now the weather is hotter & the containers are filling up with roots. Provide more oxygen in ponds if necessary by thinning waterweeds or running a fountain. Divide water iris.

Watch out for Cabbage white butterflies laying eggs on brassica plants. Potato blight on potatoes & tomatoes.
