Benefice Pastoral Care Team
In the benefice we have a small team, comprising the Vicar, the
two Readers and three Pastoral Assistants, which supports the
key areas of pastoral care on behalf of the Church across our
communi@es. Pastoral Assistants are authorised ministers, who
have undertaken some training in the diocese and are
commissioned for their work in their parishes.
Members of the team are available to visit the elderly and infirm,
those who are alone, those finding life difficult. They also visit
those unable to a+end
services at one of our churches to give Communion at home. Following significant loss or
bereavement, the team is able to give ongoing support.
If you, or someone you know, would like a visit from one of the pastoral care team,
please contact any member of the team using the details on the back of the magazine.

The PCCs and Five Marks of Mission
At the first mee@ng of the Yealand PCC and of the Warton PCC following the Annual
Mee@ngs the Vicar reminded the PCC members of their responsibili@es as those who
share the leadership of God’s Church in our parishes, namely:
It shall be the duty of the incumbent and the Parochial Church Council to consult
together on ma+er of general concern and importance in the parish.
The func@ons of the PCC shall include:
Co-opera@on with the incumbent in promo@ng in the parish the whole mission of
the Church, pastoral, evangelis@c, social and ecumenical;
The considera@on and discussions of ma+ers concerning the Church of England
or any other ma+ers of religious or public interest, but not the declara@on of the
doctrine of the Church on any ques@on;
Making known and puUng into effect any provision made by the Diocesan Synod
or the Deanery Synod, but without prejudice to the powers of the Council on any
par@cular ma+er;
Giving advice to the Diocesan Synod and the Deanery Synod on any ma+er
referred to the Council;
Raising such ma+ers as the Council consider appropriate with the Diocesan Synod
or Deanery Synod.
In the exercise of its func@ons the PCC shall take into considera@on any expression
of opinion by any parochial church mee@ng.
The Vicar also referred to what are known as the Five Marks of Mission of the Anglican
Communion, namely:
To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom.
To teach, bap@se and nurture new believers.
To respond to human need by loving service.
To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and
pursue peace and reconcilia@on.
To strive to safeguard the integrity of crea@on, and sustain and renew the life of
the earth.
The du@es of the PCC together with the Five Marks of Mission are important
statements on mission. The first Mark of Mission is a summary of what all mission is
about, because it is based on Jesus’ own summary of his mission.
The Five Marks of Mission can be abbreviated to five words:
TELL – TEACH – TEND – TRANSFORM – TREASURE

Mini Church for babies, toddlers & pre-school children
AFer a really successful beginning to Mini Church during the past few months, it has
now taken a break for the summer and will be back on Friday 13th September. In June
there were 14 children present enjoying a teddy-bear’s picnic and lots of fun and games.
Mini Church is an ini@a@ve offered by St John’s for all who are of pre-school age, from
birth upwards, and their grown-ups. Each session includes lots of fun with songs, craFs,
story-@me and refreshments.
All are welcome from across our local communi@es.
Contact Sally-Ann Rothwell, 01524 734585, for more informa@on.
Singles on Sunday is an informal group for people who live on their own and who
worship in the Benefice. We meet on the first Sunday of the month at 12:45pm at the
George Washington in Warton, where we enjoy fellowship and good
food. Hope you can join us.

A Weekend with Margaret Barker,
The Lady of the Temple: The Mother of the Lord
Eighteen people gathered in St Oswald’s on Saturday 18th May for a
fascina@ng day led by Margaret Barker.
Through her talks Margaret took us back to the era of Solomon’s
temple in Jerusalem when the people venerated a female figure in
heaven who was known as the mother of the Messiah. We then learnt
how the figures roles were transferred to Mary, the mother of Jesus.
All those a+ending agreed that Margaret is a wonderful speaker and teacher. Comments
on the day included:
Margaret gave us a fascina@ng insight into her area of study and was both personable
and approachable. I found that just hearing things from a different perspec@ve inspired
much thought and tangen@al ideas.
Just a few words to say how much I enjoyed the talks by Margaret Barker. A lovely
relaxing day with such a knowledgeable speaker, and it was inspiring to be given so
much insight into the original language of the Bible and its possible interpreta@ons. It
gave me much food for thought and I immediately bought two of her books!
I found that the day passed very quickly. Her talks were fascina@ng and by the end of
the day I had a be+er understand that the Chris@an venera@on of Mary had a
contextual relevance with the older Hebrew temple theology and how the New
Testament had its founda@on in the same tradi@on.
We are delighted that Margaret has agreed to return again next year to lead a day on
Saturday 9th May exploring the book of Revela@on.

Pilgrim Course—The Bea-tudes
We have now completed three modules of
the Pilgrim course and will begin our second
year as we look at the fourth module, The
Bea-tudes, during September and October.
This module will take us through what is
regarded as probably the most important, subversive and revolu@onary text in the bible.
In order to follow Jesus and live the Chris@an life, we need to enter into the challenging
but beau@ful world of the Bea@tudes and that is what this exci@ng course is all about.
We will again have a group mee@ng on a Wednesday morning (star@ng 25th
September) and a group mee@ng on a Thursday evening (star@ng 26th September).
For more details and to register for one of the groups please pick up a leaflet from one
of the churches or contact the Vicar.
The Pilgrim course is designed to help you discover the Chris@an way of life. It unpacks
the basic message and teaching of the Chris@an faith, and also shows you how to pray
and how to live like Jesus. It does this in a way that is reflec@ve and conversa@onal.
Pilgrim takes a different approach to other Chris@an programmes. It approaches the
great issues of faith not through persuasion, but par@cipa@on in a pa+ern of
contempla@on and discussion with a group of fellow travellers.
Tweens & Teens for teenagers
What a fabulous end of year Tweens

Join us for either, or both!

Every Tuesday 9am to 11am at St Oswald’s Church, Warton
(toys are provided for young children).
All are welcome.
Junior Church—Can you help?
The Junior Church at St Oswald’s meets each Sunday during the school term and offers
an important ministry helping our young people explore and learn about the Chris@an
faith. We are most grateful to the team of leaders and helpers, under the guidance of
Vanessa Alpin, for their dedicated work.
Due to changing circumstances some of the team are unable to con@nue, so we are
looking for new volunteers to be involved. If you are interested in being another leader
or another helper, please speak either Vanessa or with Robin, the Vicar. Having a team
means that people are asked to be involved on a rota every three to four weeks.
East End Wall repair work
By the @me you are reading this work will have
recommenced to complete the repairs to the east
end walls of St Oswald’s.
The rendering was removed from most sec@ons of
the wall during the summer last year. This work
iden@fied some issues with the stone tracery
around the east window and with the state of the
wall beneath the render. Following discussions
involving our architects, structural engineers and contractors, a two phase approach was
agreed to complete the repair work.
The first phase is to repair the stone parapet above the east window. The second
phase will be to re-render the walls with a lime render which is the appropriate type of
render for historic buildings such as St Oswald’s. It is expected that the works will be
completed by mid September.

This is an informal monthly discussion group with the aim of providing space to explore
the relevance of faith to contemporary issues. The group meets on the 2nd Tuesday each

Massive boost for development plans at St Mary’s
The excellent news from St Mary’s is that,
following many months of detailed planning
and painstaking grant research and
applica@ons, the District Church Council of St
Mary’s has secured a substan@al grant offer
from the Diocese of Blackburn. This, together
with other grants and dona@ons, brings the
total funds raised to date to £126,500, which is
over 90% of our total project budget.
This means that, subject only to the ongoing goodwill and support of the local
community and parish, our ambi@ous reordering plans can definitely go ahead. At the
@me of wri@ng, construc@on companies are being interviewed with the inten@on of
placing the contract for the building of the extension, ready for works to begin this
autumn.
The first issue of a project newsle+er to keep villagers and parishioners up to-date with
developments will be issued shortly, but meanwhile if anyone has any ques@ons or ideas,
or indeed would like to contribute to the last 10% of funds needed, please do not
hesitate to contact Joyce Tombs (on 07768 930070) or the Vicar.

St John’s, in the Yealands
Have you ever wondered how everything runs so smoothly in Church??
Its always clean, there's always someone to welcome you to the services in our nice warm
church, coffee and biscuits are provided aFerwards, fresh flowers are deligh]ully
arranged, hymns chosen, service sheets printed, bible readings beau@fully read out, altar
cloths washed and ironed, free community aFernoon tea once a month - to name just a
few of the more obvious things that you might no@ce when entering this sacred space.
All these things happen because of the dedica@on and hard work of our lovely
churchwardens, Sally-Ann and Clare who organise and oversee a team of volunteers that
give their @me and energy to make church run smoothly.
The PCC (Parochial Church Council) work hard to support Reverend Robin, our
churchwardens and readers Janet and Anne+e. Unseen people produce rotas for the vol-
unteer @me to do the million and one small things happen that we would only no@ce if
they didn't get done.
Sadly, an increasing amount of work is done by a shrinking number of people so we are
asking for your help. Perhaps you don't a+end regular services or none at all? Maybe you
only come to church for weddings, funerals, bap@sms and other "special occasions"?
Even so you can help with the vital community outreach work that church provides and
we welcome all offers of help support. We would be grateful for people who would like to
help with light cleaning, par@cipate in services, bake for aFernoon teas or any other small
tasks that you may feel able to help with.
Many hands make light work
We currently have three vacancies on the PCC, which is the body of people that make
decisions about how the church is run. Members come from all sec@ons of society and
you do not have to live in the village to be on it. The PCC meets four @mes a year on a
weekday evening and mee@ng generally last around 90 minutes.
We are also in need of more lovely "welcomers" to our services (the official @tle is
Sidesmen). Full training will be given.
If you wish to contribute to the smooth running of St John's and the community services
that we provide, please contact Robin, Sally-Ann, Clare or myself.
Thank you for taking the @me to read this.

Jesus called all those who follow him to pray. If you haven't done anything like this

PARISH NEWS | 16 | S 2019Notes from a Warton Garden – Summer 2019
As usual I seem to have far too many plants to fit into my garden. It’s the same every year,
I can’t resist trying something new, sowing more seeds, dividing plants to get new ones. I
seem to spend much of my @me in early summer finding space to fit more in, or
persuading friends to take plants from my ‘overflow’.
Keep your garden blooming this month by regularly deadheading flowers as they fade.
Don’t forget to put supports in to keep your plants upright and standing tall. There’s s@ll
@me for some fast-cropping plants like salads and radishes in the veg plot as well as
thinking ahead to next spring with cabbage and spring greens. And if you want to really
think ahead, sow some biennials like wallflowers or foxgloves that will flower next
summer.
The Gardening Club have our next set of mee@ngs ready from September to whet your
appe@te for more green-fingered endeavours. We’re welcoming some new speakers –
Maureen Li+le who specialises in bee-friendly gardening, and woodlands expert Neil
Huntley visi@ng us from his nursery at Alston in Cumbria. Come along and join us on
Thursday evenings for our friendly events, always finished with tea and biscuits and a
chance to share your gardening interest.
A big thank you to all of you who came and supported our Coffee Morning and Plant Sale

the school received a medal for the Year 6 entry. This year a gold medal win was
received for the Year 6 boy competitive and a special star award was received by a Year
4 pupil. This was a very proud moment for the school, again competing against much
larger schools and racing against 51 other competitors.
The hens have now settled into school life and have begun to lay eggs. All five are very
happy and well cared for by the school’s Chicken Crew. Free-Range eggs are now
available for sale from the school office at £1 per half dozen. All 5 hens are different
breeds therefore the eggs they produced are different colours; white, brown, and blue.
Why not try so truly delicious Yealand eggs laid by happy hens!
PARISH NEWS | 18 | S 2019As the school community is growing we are again looking into the community for
volunteers who may be able to come along and listen to readers or help the children
look after the school grounds. We run a Gardening Club on a Thursday after school, if
you are able to help the children weed, dig, plant and grow please contact the school
office on the details below.
Due to the growth of the school we are now looking for additional members of staff.
Please check out the school Facebook page for information on our most recent
vacancies. Keep up to date with all events and news by following the school Facebook
or checking the school’s website.
Many thanks, Mrs Katrina C Gale

Demen@a is caused by a number of diseases that affect the brain. The most common is
Alzheimer's but diseases also include vascular demen@a, demen@a with Lewy bodies and
Pick's disease.
Different types of demen@a affect the brain at different rates and in different ways, but
other things like someone's personal circumstances, the people around them and the
environment in which they live, will affect their experience of demen@a. Demen@a
progresses in a way that is unique to each individual.
The word 'demen@a' describes a set of symptoms that may include memory loss and
difficul@es with thinking, problem-solving or language. These changes are oFen small to
start with, but for someone with demen@a they have become severe enough to affect
daily life. A person with demen@a may also experience changes in their mood or
behaviour.
It is true that more people over 65 have demen@a but it is not exclusively an older
person's disease; younger people get demen@a too.
Become a Demen-a Friend
Being a Demen@a Friend simply means learning more about demen@a, puUng yourself
in the shoes of someone living with the condi@on, and turning your understanding into
ac@on. From visi@ng someone you know with demen@a to being more pa@ent in a shop
queue, every ac@on counts. Become a Demen@a Friend by choosing one of the op@ons
below.
Online video
You can become a Demen@a Friend by watching our online video where you will meet
Teresa, Emma and Alex who are living with demen@a and learn more about what it is like
to live with the condi@on.
AFend an Informa-on Session
Informa@on Sessions are run by Demen@a Friends Champions to help you understand
what it's like to live with demen@a and the ac@ons you can take.
You can ask for an informa@on session to be held locally to you if there are 10 or more
people that will a+end.
How organisa-ons can get involved
The Programme Partnerships team works with all types of organisa@ons to successfully
rollout Demen@a Friends and offers best prac@se guidance so an organisa@on can work
towards becoming demen@a friendly.
The most prac@cal first step is to register your organisa@on. You will then gain access to
our online sector specific videos and other helpful resources. It can take a few days to
verify your account, however, so please bear with us.
As we are a fairly small team we would be grateful if you could take a look at our helpful
FAQs in the first instance.
