The Rector’s Ramblings
What a wonderful period we have had following
Christmas. The Epiphany shows us in so many ways how we
should follow our spiritual pathway; the Magi recognised in
their scientific calculations combined with their study of star
charts and astrology that something special was about to
happen in the heavens. They then heard the word of God and
decided to act as they would have had some understanding of
scriptural prophecy – remember that alongside the Jewish
Faith there were only pagan faiths in those days which held
no real value in terms of spiritual strength as there was no
God to be with the people.
Recently Stuart and I have been talking to various
visitors to our church after funerals and wedding preparation/
weddings and I began to wonder at the longevity of our site of
worship and why this particular piece of the Moss was chosen
as a place for a chapel. We know for certain that there was a
chapel in the 13th Century so it may have been around in
Saxon times when the Northumbrians (and Vikings), Scots
and Saxons warred over our country. Was the site a pagan
grove converted to Christian use or was it simply that it was
the highest ground least likely to flood? On the edge of all
farms and small communities seems a strange place when
you look at other villages where the church and Inns occupy
the centre. Of course we are on the old coaching route with
the coach inns on the turnpike but that came much later than
the setting up of our chapel of ease linked to one of the great
Abbey’s before St Michael’s in Croston became our mother
church.
What was the Holy Spirit leading us to when He guided
those early Christians to set up a small church in medieval
times? Later in 1628 He led the people to build a church and
eventually the Spirit breathed life into a new Parish in 1641.
2
Now, in 2014, we have science and technology taking
over every facet of our lives to the detriment of language,
culture and often common sense (This is the Rector’s
opinion!) and also that of religious activities which includes
Christian worship and works. So what does the Holy Spirit say
to us? Are we like the Magi and open to suggestion or are we,
like the early pre-reformation church, a closed book stuck in
our ways and not prepared to change? It would be nice to see
house groups commence during 2014. An increase in
younger people of faith would be fabulous. Stronger ties with
the farming and rural communities with the church being a
focus of help and advice would be marvellous. The Pastoral
and Ministry teams growing and working within and without
the church would be awesome.
Many ideas, and not all mine, which need St Michael’s
people to work as a team & that is already happening in some
areas of our ministry, the stewardship campaign may trigger
more ideas and actions.
So as we approach Lent and Easter and our
Stewardship takes off please open your hearts and minds to
the voice of the Spirit and whatever your personal ministry
don’t hide it under a bushel as we try to live the Gospel and
share the Good News. God is walking with us every step of
the way so like the Magi we look for our church’s personal
bright star in the heavens.
Your brother pilgrim,
Derek
Looking back, with a glance forward!
The New Year has not been quiet with many wedding
visits, Baptism prep visits and funerals as a part of the
ongoing ministry of the church.
Our confirmation group met in early January and we
had a lively session looking at prayer.
3
Messy church was once again a great success and
many of you will have seen our ‘giant’ sculpture of Samson in
church.
Michael’s club have met again and their enthusiasm
continues to be nurtured by Kathleen, Andrea and Yvonne –
our thanks to them.
Rie continues to expand her portfolio of experience
within parish life and liturgy having been involved in wedding
and funeral services as well as Sunday worship and midweek
activities.
Derek was invited to attend the Blackburn Diocese
Rural Focus Group held in Garstang in mid January. This is a
group set up to focus on ministry within the rural community
and has a sharp insight into the needs of our farming and
rural communities, something that we, as a parish, have
begun to look at through the stewardship programme. I will
report back next month.
Forward notice
Saturday 29th March ‘Stewardship’ Open Day – see below.
On Sunday 6th April we will be joined at the 10.30
service by Bishop Julian who will preach and celebrate and
dedicate the new weathervane which should be in the building
if not fully functional by then.
I am proposing a parish lunch so that we all have the
opportunity to meet the bishop. Unfortunately his wife Heather
cannot join him that day having another appointment.
I have asked Irene to coordinate the lunch – further
details will follow.
Help requested with producing our magazine:
As you all know our magazine is now held up as a
good example of parish communication. Help would most
certainly be appreciated – because of what’s missing this
month (DAB ran out of time during the first 2 weeks of
January) you will realise just how much stuff in the magazine
4
comes from the “Parish Pump” which is a website for which
we have a licence to use material plus the diary of church
activities. It usually takes me between 4 and 6 hours to get
my stuff together and then Honey has a similar amount of
time to edit material and get it to fit on the pages. Both of us
could use an apprentice to help out!
The weekly news and notice sheets
Eric has indicated that he is to ‘retire’ from this task
and will stop producing these at Easter.
We need a volunteer who will spend about ½ hour per
week collating the front of the sheet and the notices on the
back followed by a visit to school for about ½ - ¾ hour to
photocopy the sheets and fold them for church on the
Sunday.
We need a volunteer please – speak to Eric. No
volunteer = no notice sheets after Easter.
Stewardship campaign 2014
Stewardship is defined as “the way in which someone
organizes and looks after something”.
Christian Stewardship is defined as “grateful and
responsible use of God's gifts in the light of God's purpose as
revealed in Jesus Christ”.
Christian stewards, empowered by the Holy Spirit,
commit themselves to conscious, purposeful decisions.
Stewardship is lived out in:
 living and telling the Good News;
 sharing with God in seeking justice, peace, and the
integrity of creation in an interdependent universe;
 wisely employing God-given human resources,
abilities, and relationships;
 sharing the material resources we hold and giving
them in service, justice, and compassion;
5

providing for future generations;
 sharing in the life, worship, and responsible
stewardship of the Church and of its mission.
Both for the individual and for the community,
stewardship is a joyful act for the sake of God's world.
There are 4 principles:
Ownership – “The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it.” Psalm 24
Responsibility – “God owns everything; we’re responsible
for how we treat it and what we do with it”
Accountability - A steward is one who manages the
possessions of another. We are all stewards of the resources,
abilities and opportunities that God has entrusted to our care,
and one day each one of us will be called to give an account
for how we have managed what the Master has given us. See
the parable of the talents.
Reward - Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as
working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will
receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the
Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3: 23 & 24.
Our group, under the leadership of Mike Redshaw, has
met and we have determined that the parish needs to look
clearly at
1. Spiritual life;
2. Membership of the church;
3. Introducing others to Christ;
4. Letting the community know what we stand for;
5. Bringing funds into church specifically for mission (The
church needs to run, no church = no mission = no message of
hope in the community. We also need funds to help others,
for communications, to be there for farmers and community
members etc)
6
To this end we will hold an open afternoon 2.30pm to
5.00pm on Saturday 29th March 2014. This will have been
preceded by a leaflet drop at every home and farm in the
parish during the week beginning Monday 17th March.
We need your help in delivering leaflets and
communicating the ideals of living the Gospel and being a
member of St Michael’s plus running the afternoon which will
show people what St Michael’s is about and also introduce
them to what we can offer in their spiritual journey and in their
daily lives, acting as a “signpost”. We will approach the
subject of money as very much a part of God’s Kingdom in
helping others.
Please listen out for notices and be prepared to
volunteer and add your ministry to the life of the parish.
See: Romans 12: 3 – 8; Ephesians 5: 15 & 16;
Chronicles 29: 14; 1 Peter 3: 15; Luke 16: 1 – 13;
1 Corinthians 4: 2; 1 Timothy 6: 6 – 10 and finally Romans
12: 1 – 13.
We hope that you
will join us in promoting the
Gospel and showing the
community that we are
more than just a
comfortable group of
people who meet on a
Sunday.

The Presentation of Christ in the Temple/ Candlemas
In bygone centuries, Christians said their last farewells
to the Christmas season on Candlemas, 2 February. This is
exactly 40 days after Christmas Day itself.
In New Testament times 40 days old was an important
age for a baby boy: it was when they made their first ‘public
appearance’. Mary, like all good Jewish mothers, went to the
Temple with Jesus, her first male child - to ‘present him to the
Lord’. At the same time, she, as a new mother, was ‘purified’.
Thus we have the Festival of the Presentation of Christ in the
Temple.
So where does the Candlemas bit come in? Jesus is
described in the New Testament as the Light of the World,
and early Christians developed the tradition of lighting many
candles in celebration of this day. The Church also fell into
11
the custom of blessing the year’s supply of candles for the
church on this day - hence the name, Candlemas.
The story of how Candlemas began can be found in
Luke 2:22-40. Simeon’s great declaration of faith and
recognition of who Jesus was is of course found in the Nunc
Dimittis, which is embedded in the Office of Evening Prayer in
the West. But in medieval times, the Nunc Dimittis was mostly
used just on this day, during the distribution of candles before
the Eucharist. Only gradually did it win a place in the daily
prayer life of the Church.
Saint of the month
St Valentine
There are two confusing things about this day of
romance and anonymous love-cards strewn with lace,
cupids and ribbon: firstly, there seems to have been two
different Valentines in the 4th century - one a priest
martyred on the Flaminian Way, under the emperor
Claudius, the other a bishop of Terni martyred at Rome.
And neither seems to have had any clear connection
with lovers or courting couples.
So why has Valentine
become the patron saint of
romantic love? By Chaucer’s
time the link was assumed to be
because on these saints’ day 14 February - the birds are
supposed to pair. Or perhaps
the custom of seeking a partner
on St Valentine’s Day is a
surviving scrap of the old
Roman Lupercalia festival,
which took place in the middle
of February. One of the Roman
12
gods honoured during this Festival was Pan, the god of
nature. Another was Juno, the goddess of women and
marriage. During the Lupercalia it was a popular
custom for young men to draw the name of a young
unmarried woman from a name-box. The two would
then be partners or ‘sweethearts’ during the time of the
celebrations. Even modern Valentine decorations bear
an ancient symbol of love - Roman cupids with their
bows and love-arrows.
There are no churches in England dedicated to
Valentine, but since 1835 his relics have been claimed
by the Carmelite church in Dublin.

News from Class 4 at Hoole St. Michael C.E. Primary School
This half term has started off great! KS2 Football club
has already started and even though the weather has not
been great, the children have thoroughly enjoyed it. We would
like to say a big thank you to Mr. Curly and Mr. Flowers. Also
KS2 have got the chance to learn some singing skills with
Mrs. Duckworth, our head teacher. As a school we are able to
take part in Taekwondo with Mr. Ellison.
In Class 4 our topic is ‘Space’. We have been looking
at the solar system and how the planets orbit the sun. In P.E.
a dance teacher has come in to Class 4 to teach us some
spacey dance moves! As we already told you last term, we
are still continuing with the F.B.A (Fantastic Book Awards)
and some people have finished them! We are all looking
forward to voting for our favourite book! In R.E, we are still
discussing Reverend Derek’s brilliant answers towards the
Bible.
In Year 5 we are preparing for the Inter-Schools maths
tournament that is to be held at Penwortham Girls’ High
School.
Please note: we need more members for our brilliant
Singing Group on Thursday 3:15-4:15 (we need more boys)!
Thank you for reading.

A Summary of the Minutes of the PCC Meeting held on 18
November 2013
Correspondence
There was no correspondence, but Rev. Baines reported that
he had attended a St. Michael’s School Governors’ meeting
and the subject of the school’s ‘Robin Wood Weekend’ was
discussed. ‘Robin Wood’ is an outdoor activity centre which
15
pupils from the school will be visiting shortly. The cost is quite
considerable and the question was raised if the PCC could
help towards the cost. It was agreed that the PCC would
make a donation of £250.
Stewardship Campaign 2014
Mr Mike Redshaw will lead the Stewardship Campaign. A
working party will need to be set up to perform various tasks.
Mrs Kathleen Leigh and Mrs Gillian Slinger have already
volunteered to help with the campaign and Mrs Barbara Wood
has also expressed an interest to help. It is planned to have
another meeting before the end of the year. The working party
should be set up by March/April 2014.
Churchwardens’ Report
Quinquennial Inspection – action required:
All the required paperwork for the electrical work is in place,
although it was not checked during the inspection. The
lightning conductor has been inspected and is in order. There
was some discussion regarding the purchase of a ‘surge
protector’ and more information will be obtained to ascertain if
this is absolutely necessary. The report stated that full internal
decoration is required; however, the church was redecorated
only last year. The drains and gullies have been cleaned by
Mr. Hawthornthwaite and he is also in the process of repairing
the dormer windows. The castellations and pinnacles to the
tower will have to be checked by a structural engineer.
Electoral Roll – this is up to date.
Report from the Friends’ Committee
The free standing pole is now in place and the appeal to raise
£5000 for the weather vane is now underway.
Safeguarding
Rev Baines and Mrs Dewhurst recently attended the 2nd part
of the Safeguarding Training level 2 Course. Rev Baines gave
a lengthy report on the new regulations. The government
have introduced changes to the system for making Disclosure
16
& Barring Service (DBS) (CRB) checks. The changes mean
that parishes will not be able to have as many roles checked
by the DBS. This will increase the level of a PCC’s
responsibility to make sure that all activities involving children
and young people are well managed and supervised. It was
noted that the ‘church sitters’ (those who are in church during
the summer opening times) do not need a DBS check. The
Messy church helpers have DBS/CRB checks in place, but it
was also noted that parents attend with their children.
Treasurer’s Report
The current account cash balance stands at £3,354.41 and
the Barclays Community Account stands at £30,157.91 as at
17 November 2013. The Parish Share payments to the
Diocese are up to date. The Parish Share and DBF for 2014
is £27,974. Charitable giving - £50 was sent to the Poppy
Appeal. It was agreed to make the final payment for the year
of £300 each to SHARE, FOMO, Scouts and Okorum Village.
It was agreed that the ‘Tea collection’ for 2 weeks (17/11/13
and 24/11/13) will go to the Philippines Disaster Appeal.
£1,000 was received from the estate of Elsie Smith. It was
agreed to use the money to purchase a new linen altar cloth
and will be embroidered by Mrs Beryl Blakeley. Mrs McClure
reported that Messy Church is proving to be very successful,
but more resources are required. It was agreed to allocate
£200 to the Messy Church Fund from the monies held in the
PCC account transferred from the Youth Club account. A 3
year contract has been arranged for the maintenance of the
Church Clock and a payment of £523.20 has been made.
The Annual Parochial Church meeting will be held on 28 April
2014.
The next PCC meeting is on Monday 13 January 2014.
