A note from our Rector

The weather outside is stormy! And Brexit is taking us into unchartered waters. The Coronavirus is spreading across the seas. There is much to pray about as 2020 progresses.The beauty of the Christian year is that it always follows the same pattern, no matter what is happening in the world. This doesn’t mean that we are detached from the world, or from the storms of life. But it does mean that we face them as a community of faith, with the knowledge that Jesus is at the helm. As we journey with Him through Lent, Passiontide, Good Friday and Easter, we know that he travels with us through the ebb and flow of our human dramas.

My nautical metaphors stem from the wonderful joint service we held for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. This was based on the story of Paul’s journey to Malta from the book of Acts.We placed a boat (well, inflatable dinghy!) at the front of church, and placed 8 oars into it during the prayers. This reminded us of our need for unity, not just within the church, but as humans.The prayers began: “We cannot face the storms of life alone. A boat moves forward when all row together. In the face of difficulties we recognise the need to pull together and to unite our efforts.”

We have left the European Union, but adverse weather, climate change and the corona virus have reminded us of the frailty of life for all humans, and the need to work together and help each other.Our joint service was entitled “Unusual Kindness” because Paul encountered this after his shipwreck and eventual safe arrival in Malta.

Perhaps this Lent we could focus on kindness. You may want to give up something for Lent, or do something extra, and you are most welcome to attend our Lent course and Lent lunches on Wednesdays. That’s great! But perhaps we could all aim to be consciously kind to someone each day as well. The kindness of a prayer, the kindness of a smile, the kindness of a visit or a phone call, a helping hand, a thank you, a word of encouragement or praise…. there are endless opportunities.We may not be able to control the weather, a virus, or politics, but whatever is happening in the world, we can show kindness to one another, and help each other to steer through the ups and downs of our passage to eternity.

“Gracious God,Help us to show kindness to our sisters and brothers who are in peril or in need; strengthen our confidence in your providence when we feel overwhelmed by the storms of life and teach us to fix our course on Christ, the True Light who brings us to safe harbour. Amen.” (c Week of Prayer for Christian Unity).

From the Treasurer

It is nearly a year since the introduction of the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) to our Church, and in the next couple of months everybody giving through this method should receive a letter thanking them on behalf of the parish for their giving over the past year. The Rector and PCC including myself extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has given, by whatever means, for your donations without which the church cannot remain viable.

Last year, with an uplift in regular giving from the PGS launch appeal of approximately £2,000pa, and being fortunate in not having too many major repairs to deal with, the Church managed to break even. Running costs for the Church and ministry in 2019, excluding costs covered by fees and charity appeals, amounted to £62,000.

The Church faces the challenges of occasionally losing regular givers, unexpected repair bills, and facing rising prices as we all do in our own lives. Later this year the Church will receive the compulsory Quinquennial (five yearly) building inspection, and with a large and beautiful but ageing medieval building to look after, the report will no doubt include a list of costly repairs that need to be done within the next few years. The money needed for this will of course be additional to the normal running costs. Some of you have generously committed through the PGS to raising your contributions in line with inflation, but I would urge everybody to consider giving a little more if they can.

The Organ Restoration Appeal raised a further £18,000 in 2019 and at the time of writing now totals £45,000. Our thanks again go to all those who put time and effort into organising the fundraising events, and to all who support them.

The Church final accounts for the year 2019 will be presented to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 22nd April 2020. It would be good to see a better turnout than in recent years, and if you have any questions about the finances or running of the Church, then this is your opportunity.

ANSWERED PRAYERSI prayed for riches, and achieved success; All that I touched turned into gold. Alas!

My cares were greater and my peace was less, When that wish came to pass.

I prayed for glory, and I heard my name Sung by sweet children and by hoary men.

But ah! the hurts---the hurts that come with fame! I was not happy then.

I prayed for Love, and had my heart's desire. Through quivering heart and body, and through brain

there swept the flame of its devouring fire, And but the scars remain.

I prayed for a contented mind. At length Great light upon my darkened spirit burst.

Great peace fell on me also, and great strength---Oh, had that prayer been first!

Ella Wheeler Wilcox....1850-1919

AYLESTONE MEADOWS – WET! WET! WET!

It’s February and as I write this the snowdrops are in flower on Aylestone Meadows, bringing the promise of spring round the corner. This winter, whilst being disconcertingly mild, has been terribly wet. The ground is totally waterlogged and soggy. Those who know me will know that I am both a nature lover and a dog lover, so in a happy combination, my dog Ollie and I squelch through the mud on a daily basis, waiting for spring. Today is lovely - we have now had four days without rain!

Ollie is a wonder. He came to me, a poor abused and cowed creature, brought to a dog rescue in the UK from Cyprus where he was found as a street dog. Having recently lost my lovely husband John, I immediately took to Ollie and wanted to look after him. He brought me through some dark days and maybe I brought him through some of the same as well. Now he is a happy, healthy, obedient and confident dog, who loves his home comforts, his walks and his adoring fan club of other dog enthusiasts who sometimes share our walks.

Today it almost felt like spring and Ollie set off with even more enthusiasm than usual. The birds were lively too; the robins, blackbirds and thrushes were singing their hearts out. The woodpecker was drumming his invitation to the ladies atop of a dead tree and a couple of kestrels were out hunting. Somewhere in the area, and certainly out of its usual habitat, I could hear a raven croaking. It’s muddy but it’s worth it – what are wellies for after all?

Every day I am thankful for the gift of Aylestone Meadows. Okay, so it’s not the Yorkshire Dales and it has its problems, but this is a little bit of countryside right on our doorstep. It’s inhabited by badgers, foxes, deer, rabbits and various smaller mammals. There are snakes, frogs, fish and an abundance of birds. I can get immersed in God’s creation without getting in the car. Come the spring, all of this abundance will burst into new life and the cycle of nature will start all over again.

But I worry. I worry about the fact that I have not seen a snake or a hedgehog for a couple of years. I worry that the area floods with increasing regularity and whilst being in a flood area will (hopefully) prevent encroaching development, the increase in flooding incidents gives cause for concern. I worry that cuts to Council funding have meant that groundwork staff employed on Aylestone Meadows have been reduced and much of the work is left to volunteers.

More positively, volunteers are marvellous and without them conservation all over the UK would be in a sorry state. Volunteers from Aylestone Meadows Appreciation Society (me included) and Leicester Environmental Volunteers turn up in all weathers to litterpick, clear vegetation, prune trees, sow seeds and plant native wildflowers on a regular basis. If you want to join us, speak to me or e mail me [email protected] I have made some dear friends through conservation volunteering. It helps keep me fit too.

Every day I thank God for the natural world around us and I pray that we can all use it right and live our lives in ways which do not abuse its great and marvellous blessings.

Anne Hayto.

CAN ST. ANDREW'S SAVE THE PLANET? (No but maybe we can help a bit)

Diocese of Leicester has announced that it is to work toward becoming an 'Eco Church' with the aim of eventually becoming carbon neutral. The Diocese has signed up to an ecumenical initiative which encourages churches to consider every aspect of their church life in the context of reducing the carbon footprint of the church buildings and the people who worship and visit the church. All churches are invited to sign up for this project. More information can be found on the Diocese's website or look under Eco Church.

Over the coming months, St. Andrew's Parochial Church Council and other members of our church will be considering how we can become more environmentally friendly by reducing our carbon footprint in a variety of ways. We will be aiming to use non polluting and fairly traded products wherever possible, re-using and recycling as much as we can and considering other, less easy ways of becoming more environmentally friendly. This will need a lot of prayer and thought over a long period of time.We can all do small things though. We all find it hard to commit to making changes - it's easier just to buy our usual brand of tea, rather than seeking out fairly traded tea and that's one of the easy ones! But great oaks from tiny acorns grow and lots of people doing little actions makes a difference. For example, some of us may want to participate in Earth Hour on 28th March. Between 8.30 and 9.30 p.m,. thousands of people all over the world will be switching off their lights, cutting down on electricity use as a gesture of support for our planet. A small thing, but it's significant if lots of people do it. Some of us might be ditching our Cilit Bang and switching to environmentally friendly cleaning products. Small steps - all making a difference. It's going to be a journey for us all, but we have to try for the sake of our next generations.

Note from the editor

With Christmas now a distant memory, we look forward to, hopefully, warmer weather and getting out and about. Soon the daffodils planted for the 800 year celebration will be out in bloom brightening cold Sunday Mornings. As always we have lots of planned for the year ahead. We will continue to fundraise for the organ restoration and your help and support, is as always much appreciated.
