The Churchwardens of the Benefice have been asked to
            provide a Advent & Christmas Text

Dear readers,

The celebrations of Christmas gives us a break when we can ready ourselves to
face a new year with fresh vigour. With the end of one year and the start of
another, where better to go in search of a Bible reading than the ‘Book of
Revelation’?

Not only is it the last part of the Bible but it also intends to sum up everything
that has gone before it. The book is a worthy preparation for the cycle of readings
starting in the New Year. Revelation means that God is continually revealing
Himself and His purpose, especially in the birth and the coming of our Lord. We
know things from our own senses yet the revelation of new truths continually
surprises us. It is then that we realise how limited is our understanding of the
world – God is always prodding us forward. In the ardour of youth we are
energetically critical of the older generation – now many of us in the church
community come under that description so we too must be prepared to be
judged. Given the present state of the world that is not a comfortable position to
be in yet we are able to pass on God’s holy word and hopefully that will lead to
salvation. Happy celebrations!

Richard
                           ooooooOOOOOOOoooooo
                         Felbrigg’s thoughts for Advent

Sunday 29th November is Advent Sunday, and we were due to celebrate it at
Felbrigg church, but that was prevented by the lockdown. But Advent is not just
for Sundays - it is a time to prepare for Christmas – to remember how Jesus came
into this world – and also to prepare for his promised second coming to make all
things new. It maybe a busy time or a time of quiet – even silence – it has been
said “Silence is not a gap to be filled – it is the greatest of all preparations.” Let’s
use this silence by reading the Bible passages for each week and asking God to
whisper to us.
I read recently “The God who is silent does not answer all our questions – He
does not instantly solve all our problems. He does not come as we’re expecting –
He does not give us what we’re looking for – He gives us what we need”
(Extract from Image of the Invisible by Amy Scott-Robinson)
We hope you will join us on Christmas day for Family Service at Felbrigg – 10.30

St Peter & St Paul Sustead
In these challenging times our Church continues to keep the village connected
and to provide an unchanging presence. We all found it difficult to have a church
closed which hitherto was always open and welcomed all passers by for peace,
thoughtfulness and prayer so it was with great pleasure we were able to open
again for services on October 4th and November 1st respectively when we were
joined by worshippers from the Benefice and from our village. Our team of
volunteers Covid cleaned the church thoroughly and social distancing was
marked within alongside all other efforts to ensure our visitors were all safe.
Though we were unable to sing we still had the music of the hymns played on
the organ for us to hear and follow through the service. What we missed though
was the friendly chats and coffee of former times after the service. However we
all hope that this will be able to happen again in future safer times. Our next
service will be on December the 6th when we hope to see all our friends again
after what will have been a second time of extra care.

We were delighted to see many visitors on September 12th when we took part in
the Annual Sponsored Cycle ride round the churches which raises much needed
funds, and was well supported despite the present difficulties. Sustead Church
took the decision to open on that occasion for visiting, after once again a
thorough clean from the team, and we were rewarded by the many cyclists who
were keen to look in, and also by visits from a number of village residents who
were so happy they could go inside again, even if it was a fleeting chance. Many
thanks again to the team of volunteers who cleaned and stewarded the church
so it could be open for visits with this event.

We were sorry that due to the events of late that we will have to continue to
remain closed, but visitors are welcome to walk around the churchyard and enjoy
the peaceful views, the wild areas and the beautiful exterior of the Church itself
which is steeped in the history of our quiet rural village.

The Advent wreath

The Advent wreath is a visual aid to our preparation to celebrate the fact that
Jesus (God’s only Son) was born of a virgin to come and live with us on this earth.
There are four candles around the wreath, and a large one in the centre. The first
candle is lit on the first Sunday of Advent, which this year is 29 th November. It
goes right back to the first book of the Bible when we remember the patriarchs,
the first people God called to follow Him. Abraham was and old man when God
called him to leave his comfortable life in Ur, and start on a long journey to where?
He didn’t know, but he went in faith. We also remember his son Isaac, and his son
Jacob, later renamed Israel.
The next Sunday in advent we light the second candle, remembering the prophets
of old. You will find their stories in the middle to the end of the Old Testament.
Isaiah foretold the birth of Jesus 600 years before it happened.
The third week the candle is lit to remember John the Baptist, so we’re now early
on in the New Testament. John was a bit odd, he lived in the desert and ate
locusts and honey. He was a cousin of Jesus, and had been sent to prepare the
way for Jesus telling people to repent of their sins. He started to baptize people in
the Jordan river, and one day, Jesus came to be baptised too, in preparation for
his ministry.
The fourth week we remember Jesus’ earthly mother, Mary, and all the joys and
sorrows that she went through, what an amazing woman. She was only young
when she agreed to do God’s will.
The wreath looks lovely with the four candles alight, but even better when we light
the large one in the middle on Jesus’ birthday.
Ann Smith from Roughton is making our Advent wreath, and it will be at Sustead’s
service on 6th December, Roughton’s carol service on the 13 th, Hanworth’s
communion service on the 20th and Christmas morning at Felbrigg.

The Bible is the most amazing book containing 66 books, covering absolutely
everything you can think of, and is as relevant today as it was when it was
compiled.

What is so reassuring is that God never called anybody rich or famous to help him
in his work here on earth, in fact some of them were quite the opposite. There
were murderers and deceivers, all sorts, but God forgives everyone, even me! And
he will change your life.

Alternative Christmas Card

Over the past few years a large card has been circulated around our churches
for people to sign. The idea being that one doesn't need to give a card to all
your church friends, one can just sign and sent good wishes on the one big
card. Then money you may have spent on many cards can be put towards a
donation to Christian Aid. The card will be at Sustead on 6th Dec. then at
Roughton the following week, and Hanworth the week after that. It may even
appear on Christmas Day. Charities need our help more than ever this year, so
please give generously.

Clergy Lists

The Benefice has recently displayed a notice from the Diocese saying that the
Roughton Benefice will no longer have a resident priest for at least the next five
years. Given that it costs £68,000 each year to maintain a full-time incumbent,
this does not come as a surprise. While we wait for a new policy on rural ministry
from the diocese, we are dependent for support from our esteemed retired
clergy to whom we are ever grateful.

                                            Some churches in our benefice still
                                            display a list of priests going back to
                                            the earliest times. They are a
                                            reminder of the continuity of service
                                            and an expression of gratitude where
                                            we cherish our clergy. Many were
                                            vibrant characters who endured bad
                                            times with the good. Despite that we
                                            have no idea what most of them
                                            looked like. It came as a great
                                            surprise recently when a portrait
                                            appeared in the local auction house
                                            web-site of one of Hanworth’s former
                                            vicars – the Rev John Hepworth, who
                                            is shown left. There are five priests
                                            that we know of who are buried in
                                            Hanworth Church and churchyard; he
is one of them. His black marble leger-slab lies hidden under the altar table in
the chancel. In the archives of Caius College, Cambridge University he is
recorded as follows;

John’s father the Rev Joseph Hepworth was from Yorkshire but he was head-
master of the renowned grammar school in North Walsham for 17 years between

                                        8
1778-1795. That is where John was brought up. Joseph was also the Vicar of
Hanworth, together with several other local parishes between 1800-1803. No
doubt he conducted his widespread responsibilities partly through curates as was
then the custom. It was Joseph who made the big land exchange in Gunton in
1801 which moved the church glebe to other parishes, thereby allowing Gunton
Park to develop into its present majestic form. His son John was probably the first
to occupy the splendid Georgian house that became the second of Hanworth’s
three Rectories. As a Cambridge University lecturer in Greek it is likely that he was
an expert on Biblical texts – did his learned sermons reach down to the
congregations?

The artist who portrayed him was John Thirtle, a celebrated water-colourist of the
famous Norwich School. John married Elizabeth Miles, sister of Ann, the wife of
another great artist, John Sell Cotman. They were the daughters of a Felbrigg
farmer. Another sister married a resident of Hanworth and it was probably those
family connections which drew John Thirtle and John Hepworth together to make
the portrait shown above.

John Hepworth presided over a pre-Victorian church in Hanworth before the
                                     extensive furniture fittings were made
                                     in the village and installed there. Luckily
                                     we have an image of what it looked like
                                     in John’s time, as shown below. A three
                                     -decker pulpit dominated the interior.
                                     All the seating was in box pews – those
                                     of the manorial family were higher than
                                     the rest and stood inside the chancel
                                     arch where the present organ sits. Four
                                     rows of Medieval poppy-head pews
                                     stood further into the chancel. There is
                                     no sign of an organ so perhaps music
                                     was made in the company of the choir
                                     who were sitting on a balcony over the
                                     tower arch. The pegs for the choir
                                     robes are still insitu below it. John and
                                     his father served Hanworth for a total
                                     of 28 years.

BIBLE A MONTH NEWSLETTER

Hundreds of Bibles and thousands of Gospel booklets in the hands of
prisoners, and The Bible Course: Prisons Edition streamed into around 30
institutions ... this is the incredible impact of your generous support in the
prisons of England and Wales recently. And, thanks to you, God's word is
changing the lives of people in prison. The coronavirus hit prisons hard.
Thousands of prisoners and staff became ill, and there have been a
number of deaths. Many of the 80,000-strong prison population were
locked in their cells for 23 hours a day to limit the spread. But your
support has made a difference in three ways:

1.You've helped provide Bibles. Over the last year we distributed more
than 2,500 Bibles to prisoners in 51 institutions. Most were in English, but
we also provided Polish, Romanian and Hungarian Scriptures. Recently,
your support has helped to provide more Bibles to prisoners though the
network of chaplains, free of charge

2. You've provided thousands of booklets about biblical justice. These
specially-written Gospel booklets, Matthew: A Message of Mercy, are
hugely popular and speak of God's grace and forgiveness.

3. You've helped prisoners discover the life-changing power of God's
word. Last year, we adapted The Bible Course for prisoners, and before
lockdown 700 prisoners had taken part in the eight session course
exploring the big picture of Scripture. Since lockdown, your support
helped to turn the course into a 16-part Bible TV series, to be broadcast
directly into prisoners' cells. Around 30 prisons are keen to broadcast this
series, so even in confinement, people can still discover God's purpose
and love.
Chris Auckland, who oversees our work in prisons, said, 'We're committed
to sharing the Bible with whoever wants it, and we know there's huge
demand for God's word in prisons. However, it's only possible with the
faithful prayers and donations of Bible a Month supporters - and we are so
grateful.'
Chris added, 'We hear many stories from chaplains about people's lives
being impacted and changed as they discover the Bible. It's evident in
their behaviour, thinking and attitudes - and in the future their likelihood
of re-offending is reduced.'

We in Palm Tree Association are so very grateful for the loyalty and interest that
you have in us in Nicaragua. Your contact with us goes back many years, and we
have been wonderfully grateful for the proportion of your Annual Harvest Collec-
tion to go towards the work we are doing in Nicaragua. Our Doctor Sandra sug-
gested, when I asked her some ten years ago, that I should provide five fruit and
veg for the whole population of our island of Ometepe, locally grown. That was
such a fun challenge. So, over the years, we bought about 100 fruit trees on every
trip I made to Nicaragua. I went four times a year. We collected and distributed
about 6000 fruit trees of various tropical designs. We put these into villages and
homes throughout the island, so that the population of 35,000 could feed them-
selves and share with their neighbours. We formed a farming co-operative using a
Christian family to grow the vegetables. What we needed was a minimum of four
farms. Staggering the planting by a month, it meant that they would produce a
harvest every month. For a long time, they only had three farms, and so they lived
and worked behind the drag curve. Now, we have found an area of 12 farms, five
of whom are initially willing to join the co-operative. To get the harvests going all
year round, they need water, particularly through the 6-months dry summer sea-
son. The highest ground was on a farm over a mile away from the lakeside, which
proved to be the best water source. The pipes were installed, the towers built and
the two 10,000 litre tanks sited on the towers. My task then was to produce a
pressure switch that would turn the pump on and off when the tanks were full. We
thank God for giving us the money to send that switch out by air. It will arrive on
the Island on Tuesday 10th November, 2020. All that needs now is its installation.
And, from us, prayer that all will be completed fast. Why? The dry season starts
this month, November. Then - they can live and work above the drag curve, and
make a go of it. Two vegetable harvests a month will feed the island. And there
are seven more potential farms which can join the co-operative. Isn't that great?
For us? Prayer please. Jesus is a very Good God. And He loves this kind of kind-
ness. Bless you all for your wonderful giving.

Norfolk Coast Partnership Small Grant Fund

                     Small changes can make a big difference and we would like to support
your projects through our recently-launched small grant fund.

The cash, from sales of posters, greetings cards, cycle maps and a book of poetry and
pictures from local people, is already being ploughed back into taking care of the area of
outstanding natural beauty through the fund.

Grants of between £500-£3,000 are now available for local, community projects which bring
environmental, economic, social or educational benefits to the Norfolk Coast and its
communities. Projects encouraging people of differing ethnicities, age groups and
accessibility needs to experience and enjoy the area are particularly welcomed. The funding
has already enabled installation of a boardwalk at Natural Surroundings in Bayfield, nr Holt,
which improves the site for visitors by re-instating all weather access to the River Glaven
and the riverbank hide and making the path through the wet woodland a lot easier and
safer to use.

We are grateful to all those who have purchased our products, and the shops and outlets
that have stocked them. The profits are all being spent on restoring and protecting the
coast we look after and now we’ve built up sufficient funds, we’re keen to hear ideas for
how the money can be spent. Do get in touch with us if you think of a project you could
take forward. For further information or to discuss project ideas please contact the fund
facilitator Helen Timson, helen.timson@norfolk.gov.uk or telephone: 01328 850541.

Examples of suitable projects might be schools looking to enhance their outdoor learning
area for wildlife, sensory needs or vegetable growing; care homes wishing to incorporate
wildlife areas into their grounds for residents to enjoy; parish biodiversity projects or
schemes facilitating non-motorised transport for visitors/locals.

Our merchandise range includes ‘Walk with me’, a book of community photographers and
poems, a poster and card featuring a specially commissioned Robert Gillmor linocut and the
Norfolk Coast Cycleway leaflet which offers a route close to the Norfolk coast exploring its
beautiful villages and quieter lanes. These items are for sale in local shops around the area
and from our online shop at www.norfolkcoastaonb.org.uk/shop/

                           The Future of Our Benefice
The cost to the Diocese of the Roughton Benefice is in the order of £47,000 per
year. Last year the Benefice found some £27,000 towards these costs but with
no obvious likelihood of the Benefice being able to substantially improve on this
and the Diocese finances being unable to continue to cover the difference means
that things are going to have to change. Roughton is not alone in this, over the
Diocese there are many others in a similar position. The pandemic has not
caused this, though its effect has certainly forced the Diocese and indeed the
Church of England to rethink the way it operates. Changes need to be made
NOW as a matter of urgency and they probably wont be to everyone’s liking.
There are no easy answers, the only certainty is that things cannot remain as
they are. Time will tell. Ron Mortimer Benefice Treasurer.

                          Giving to your Church

The bank details for each of our Churches are shown below.

One of the best ways to give regularly to your Church is to create a standing
order with your bank. If you do online banking this can be set up on your
computer without leaving home. If you don’t have internet banking you will need
to go into your bank. I suggest that you speak with them first in order to ensure
you have whatever details they require to set up a standing order.
