From the Manse
This week we were all, I hope, horrified to hear in the news that the body of a homeless man, dead of
a suspected drug overdose, lay in a street in Grimsby for more than three hours before anyone felt
obliged to do anything. He was apparently well-known in the area.
When we see someone in trouble, our first impulse is always to rush in and help. However that
compassionate impulse is easily overwhelmed by fear, disguised as rational caution. None of us want
to get dragged in. None of us want to find ourselves out of our depth. None of us want to go to the aid
of someone lying apparently helpless, who suddenly comes to life and lashes out. None of us want to
find ourselves at an inquest, trying to say why we did this or failed to do that. There is at least some
illusion of safety in doing what everyone else is doing, even if what they are doing is clearly wrong.
We all have gifts, but sometimes when the moment comes we are afraid to put them to use. I am
losing count of the First Aid courses I have attended – with the Scouts when I was growing up, as a
trainee physio, as a church volunteer, and with Street Pastors. The truth is, you can never do too
many, because going on courses is your only real opportunity as a volunteer to practice those skills,
and if you ever face an emergency in real life, it is all too likely to be a matter of life and death. Not
surprisingly, the temptation is to hang back, and see if anyone better qualified appears.
I will not forget how terrified I felt, the night our Street Pastors team found a young man who
complained of chest pain, and who shortly afterwards suffered a cardiac arrest. All the team were very
grateful to the police officers who were quickly on the scene, who took a quick look and then called an
armed response officer. You might not know this, but armed response officers are also trained
paramedics – because their first job, if they have been forced to shoot a suspect, is then to save their
life. I stood aside and tried to calm the young man's friends, while the armed response officer applied
the defibrillator brought by the venue's door staff.
The point is, fear is no excuse for not doing what you can. We all have our limitations, we all feel fear
in the face of unknown difficulties and dangers, but the Bible gives us no excuse not to act. Even the
courts look more kindly on people who tried to help and failed, than on people who did nothing.
Not many of us are equipped to administer First Aid to someone dying of an overdose on the street.
For a start, we probably would have no idea what substance they had taken. The only safe thing to do
is make sure they are breathing, and ring 999. No one called an ambulance for that man in Grimsby.
But his problems clearly went back a lot further, and many opportunities to intervene must have been
missed.
There is a problem-solving technique used in business, called 'the five whys'. Why did the customer
not get their order? Because the van broke down. But why did the van break down? Because routine
checks hadn't been done. Why were the checks not done? Because the driver didn't know it was his
job, and besides he hadn't been trained. And so on, until the root cause has been identified, and steps
taken to prevent the same problem arising in future.
Apply the same technique to the death of that man in Grimsby, and see what opportunities were
missed along the way to intervene with Christian compassion. Why did no one see something was
wrong? Because everyone has trained themselves to look the other way; but that is not what
Christians should do. Why was that man alone in a doorway? Because people fall so far, and then
everyone around them despairs and deserts them; but Christians are not supposed to write anyone
off. Why did he begin to turn to alcohol and drugs in the first place? Because the problems he had
were too great to cope with; but Christians are supposed to point to the love of Jesus Christ, and say,
like Paul, “I will show you a better way,” not with words or diagrams, but in what we do and who we
are. Why? Because Christ loved us first.
Your friend in Christ, Grant

Once again a very big thank you for all your Christmas cake orders. Thanks to you this year I
have been able to make a donation of £140 to church funds. Thank you for your continued
support.

Phoenix Chamber Folk Ensemble
I thought church members might like to know about a new music ensemble which is meeting
twice-monthly on Saturday afternoons in the minor hall. We are a mixed instrument chamber
orchestra playing new arrangements of traditional folk tunes. We had our first rehearsal in
January, which brought together 19 musicians playing 11 different instruments. We filled the
minor hall with the traditional music of Northumberland, Ireland and Scotland!
The ensemble is a project of Phoenix Folk (www.phoenixfolk.org.uk) which is a local folk
music organisation which I have recently joined as a director. Myself and the other two
directors are leading the new orchestra, and we are very grateful to St George's for their
support. The minor hall makes a perfect rehearsal space! We are planning a concert at St
George's in the summer, which will feature the new ensemble. I'll share more details in due
course.

Points to Ponder
Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but
because of who you are.
I know you’re sad, so I won’t tell you to have a good day. Instead, I advise you to
simply have a day. Stay alive. Feed yourself well. Wear comfortable clothes and don’t
give up on yourself just yet. It’ll get better, Until then, have a day.
How you make others feel says a lot about who you are. Leave them with a smile, a
hug, a kind thought.
Sometimes the person who has been there for everyone else needs someone to be
there for them. Clergy Coaching Network
Funny how it is easy to favour a “straightforward” reading of scripture until scripture
says, “Love your enemies”.
FEAR….crouches in peoples’ hearts. It hollows out their insides, until their resistance
and strength are spent.. Fear secretly gnaws and eats away at all the ties that bind a
person to Good and to others” Dietrich Bonhoffer
To the soul, there is hardly anything more healing than friendship.
People don’t always need advice. Sometimes all they really need is a hand to hold, an
ear to listen and a heart to understand them.
Don’t shine so that others can see you. Shine, so that through you, others can see
HIM. CS Lewis
May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears. Nelson Mandela
Consciously choosing to slow down and rest, is a revolutionary act of self care.
Never think that what you have to offer is insignificant. There will always be someone
out there who needs what you have to give. Clergy Coaching Network.
3Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the
person nearest you. Mother Teresa.
Sometimes in life we just need a hug…..no words, no advice, just a hug to make you
feel you matter.
There is always, always, ALWAYS something to be thankful for.

Smile!!
I’m planning a camping holiday but, I have to say, I’m far from impressed with my travel
insurance. It turns out if someone steals my tent in the night, I’ll no longer be covered.
Picked up a hitch-hiker. Seemed like a nice guy. After a few miles he asked me if I
wasn’t afraid that he might be a serial killer. I told him that the odds on two serial killers
being in the same car at the same time was extremely unlikely.
Man in a hot air balloon is lost over Ireland. He looks down and sees a farmer in the
fields and shouts down to him, “Where am I?” The Irish farmer looks up and shouts
back, “You can’t fool me. You’re in that basket up there”.
Ate salad for dinner! Mostly croutons and tomatoes. Really just one big, round crouton
covered with tomato sauce- and cheese. Fine, it was a pizza- I ate pizza.
I don’t mean to brag but I finished my 14 day diet in 3 hours 20 minutes.
A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than men
who mention it.
Kids today don’t know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet
through a shag pile carpet to change the TV channel.
I am upset. I read a story in the paper about a dwarf being pick pocketed. How could
anybody stoop so low?
A man pulls up in a car alongside a lad in the street and says, “I’ll give you £10 and a
packet of sweets if you get in”. The boy says “NO!”. The man then says, “I’ll give you
£20 and a packet of sweets if you get in”. The boy says “NO”. The man says, “I’ll give
you £50 and a packet of sweets if you get in”. The boy says, “Get lost, dad….I’m not
going to St James’s to watch that rubbish anymore”
I cannot stand people who think they’re worse off than everybody else. My mate Don is
brilliant. He had a bad accident where he lost his voice and both legs. Does he make a
song and dance about it?
Paid up front for a joiner to make me a double bed; the fiddling so and so has done a
bunk.
Women know. They just know. Even if they didn’t know, they would know. Men might
not get this, but women will, because they know.

4COCOA LIFE
Fairtrade is working in partnership with Cocoa Life meaning
that as a result, in the UK, five times as much Cadbury
chocolate will now be made with sustainably sourced cocoa
Ninety per cent of the world’s cocoa is grown on small family
farms by about 6 million farmers who earn their living from
growing and selling cocoa beans. Although cocoa is always
in demand, prices can move up and down very fast, leaving
cocoa farmers unable to plan for the future. Add in the
uncertainty of the effects of climate change – disease, pests,
natural disasters – and there’s a lot cocoa farmers are up
against. Only a small percentage of the world’s cocoa is Fairtrade, so we need to do more to
work with cocoa farmers to achieve big change. We are scaling up our work, looking for new
ways to reach more cocoa farming communities and ensure more cocoa farmers get a better
deal, through partnerships such as Cocoa Life.
Cocoa Life is more than simply improving cocoa yields. It’s about finding ways to support
farmers to diversify their incomes, and invest in education, infrastructure or healthcare to
make cocoa farming communities more secure for years to come. Simply growing more
cocoa and getting a better price for it isn't the final answer to tackling the inequalities in the
cocoa supply chain. That's why we're using our expertise on making cocoa farmers better
able to tackle climate change. With independent verification of Cocoa Life’s supply chains
carried out by FLOCERT, the quantity of sustainable cocoa and the payments to farmer
organisations will be tracked and transparent.
Cocoa Life commits to a $400m investment by 2022 to reach 200,000 cocoa farmers (and 1
million community members) and their communities in Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Indonesia, the
Dominican Republic, India and Brazil.
In the UK, it will mean that five times as much Cadbury chocolate will be made with
sustainably sourced cocoa.
"We are proud to have worked closely with Cadbury since 2009 to improve the lives of cocoa
farmers and their communities. But the reality is that life for too many cocoa farmers remains
a daily struggle against poverty, whilst their communities still lack many essential services
and climate change poses increasing threats to their livelihoods and future.
5The evolution of our partnership with Cadbury and Cocoa Life has put Fairtrade’s values,
principles and unique relationships with farmer networks into the whole programme. In doing
so, together we can increase the scale and impact of Cocoa Life, towards a common goal –
one in which cocoa farmers, their organisations and communities are empowered, can invest
in their own futures, and go from just surviving, to thriving."
Mike Gidney, Chief Executive,
Fairtrade Foundation
FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT 2020 IS COMING!
Calling all chocolate fans and fighters for fairness! In 2020 we will continue our mission to
ensure that all farmers are paid fairly for their work and are able to earn a living income,
starting with cocoa farmers in West Africa.
Fairtrade Fortnight will be back Monday 24 February - Sunday 8 March 2020. Join us in our
annual moment when we bring the fight for change to the masses. We'll be continuing to
focus on cocoa, the special role women farmers play in the journey to living incomes, and
sharing new stories and tools to get more people choosing Fairtrade chocolate. We travelled
back to Côte d'Ivoire, and Sierra Leone, to meet some truly inspiring women who want their
stories to be heard by the UK. This Fortnight they need your help to share their stories and
make the case for Fairtrade.
What is Fairtrade Fortnight?
For two weeks each year thousands of individuals, companies and groups across the UK
come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks and who grow
the cotton in our clothes, people who are often exploited and underpaid. What happened for
Fairtrade Fortnight 2019?
Fairtrade Fortnight in 2019 focused on the people - in particular the women - who grow the
cocoa in our chocolate. £1.86* is the amount a cocoa farmer in West Africa needs to earn
each day in order to achieve a living income. Currently, a typical cocoa farmer in Cote d’Ivoire
lives on around 74p** a day. Almost all cocoa farmers in West Africa live in poverty.
For the women the situation is even worse. They may plant and harvest on the farm, look
after children, carry water, collect wood, cook and clean for the family, and transport the
cocoa beans to market but often with fewer rights than men.
6This is why we at Fairtrade are campaigning for a living income to become a reality for cocoa
farmers in West Africa. If we can work together with governments, chocolate companies and
retailers to make the commitments and policies necessary, then we can make it happen.
We made a huge noise in 2019 with 4000 campaigner events reaching 1 million people,
10,000 new supporters joining us on our journey, and businesses and MPs making their
voices heard on the issues of living incomes. On 7 August 2019, Ivorian Independence Day,
Fairtrade campaigners joined Fairtrade Foundation staff at 10 Downing Street to hand in a
petition with more than 50,000 signatures calling for Boris Johnson to back cocoa farmers
fighting for a fairer deal through UK-funded aid projects, business and human rights
legislation, and joining international efforts that unite governments, chocolate companies and
civil society to achieve living incomes.
What is a living income?
A living income means enough money to live a simple but dignified life, paying for essentials
such as clothing, medicine and school. We believe this is not a luxury but a human right.
7Bible a Month : Egypt
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need
to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2, v 15. (ESV)
Egypt is a country in North eastern Africa bordering on the Mediterranean Sea. It
covers an area of 386,000 sq miles and is approximately 4 times as large as the UK. It
has a population of 99 million- 1.5 times as large as the UK. Official languages are
Arabic, English and French. The Literacy rate- people who can read and write- is 80%.
There are around 10 million Christians in Egypt, making it the largest Christian
population in the Middle east. The majority of Egyptian Christians belong to the Coptic
Church and form a close-knit community, bound together by a common historical and
cultural heritage.
By providing new Bible study methods, our Egyptian colleagues are encouraging church
leaders and young people to go beyond the traditional teachings of the Coptic Church.
2019 has been the fourth year of the Bible study programme.
Thanks to your generosity the Bible Society in Egypt is able to produce even more tools
to bring God’s word to life all over the country. As well as running Bible study training
sessions, our colleagues have produced a new Arabic Study New Testament. Complete
with historical, geographical and background notes, and they are continuing their work
on the Old Testament.
For many of us here in England, the concept of delving into the Bible to study God’s
word might seem relatively straight forward. But for many Christians in Egypt, the idea
of running a Bible study session often seems daunting and unfamiliar. It is quite
revolutionary for lay people to be encouraged by the Orthodox Church to lead Bible
studies. For many Egyptians, being “Christian” simply means being baptised, married
and buried in the Church. A lot of people are culturally Christian, very passionate about
their religion, simply because they are intentionally non-Muslim.
Prayer Pointers
� Praise God for the willingness of the Coptic Church to partner with the Bible
Society and explore new ways of engaging with the Bible.
� Please lift up to God Christians in Egypt, that they would be filled with a desire to
delve into Scripture and study God’s word for themselves.
� Thank God for the ingenuity of our colleagues, who are creatively exploring Bible
study methods to equip the Egyptian church in its teaching and outreach.
� Please pray that the new Study Bible will be a blessing to Arabic speakers in
Egypt and across the world, helping them to engage more deeply with God’s
word.
