St Mary’s Parish Magazine – November 2002
WHAT’S ON THIS
MONTH? - November
Readings for
Sundays & Festivals in December
Daily prayer topics
in November
On Saturday November 2 – All Souls
Day – there will be a Sung Requiem at 7.30pm with the Fauré Requiem sung
complete by the choir. There is a list under the tower for you to add the names
of departed loved ones whom you would like commemorated during that service.
The Social Committee is busy preparing for
the Christmas Fair on December 7 but it needs some more help.
Christian Aid can receive £3.50 for every discarded mobile phone. There
will be a box under the large table under the tower for this collection.
On St Andrew’s Day, November 30, we remember
the work of Christian missions. In this parish we support in particular the United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel
with an annual donation. In addition, some people collect money during the year
in “Globes” or “Medicine Bottles”. Will those who have these please return them
to Betty Walker by Sunday November 24. She also thanks those who brought
in used postage stamps during the year. She would particularly like special
issues and high-value British and all foreign stamps and all Christmas stamps
will be welcome.
On Advent Sunday, December 1, the
Preacher at 9.30am will be Revd Dr Jeffrey John, Canon Theologian of Southwark
Cathedral and Bishop’s Adviser for Ministry. Evensong that day will be as usual
- with the Advent Carol Service the following Sunday, when it will be attended
by Churches Together.
Please note that the Ringers’ Quiz
will take place on Saturday, February 15, and not the 8th as advertised
elsewhere.
Springfield Church
presents a newly-written Christmas show called Jo’s Journey at the
Wallington Public Hall on the evenings of December 13, 14 and 15. This is the story
of one child’s search for the meaning of Christmas, told through acting and
songs, with an all-age cast. It isn’t exactly a panto, but it will have some
familiar elements to make the performance accessible to everyone. It isn’t exactly evangelistic either, but
there is an underlying Christian ethos. It is designed to be fun for groups and
families. You could put the dates in
your diary now, or contact Nigel Elderkin on 8773 2409 for further details.

Once again Churches
Together in Beddington & Wallington are hosting a Christmas Lunch. It takes
place at St Patrick’s Hall, and is open to anyone who would like to attend as
long as they have booked first! Further details from Pam Vernon, who is our
representative on the organising committee.
* * *
And so as not to get
blasé thinking about Christmas, let’s talk about Lent! Churches Together are
once again organising a programme of speakers for the Wednesday evenings of
Lent next year, on the general theme of “Spirituality and…” Specific topics
addressed will include suffering, science, the local community, and the
workplace. Five Wednesday evenings from March 12 onwards, 8.00 pm at St
Elphege’s. Please put the dates in your
new diaries as soon as you get them.
* * *
Prisoners’ Week begins on Sunday November 17, and many
churches and organisations throughout the week will be drawing people’s
attention to the needs of prisoners’ families, who often have to bear stigma
and punishment with little or no practical support, and to regular attempts to
educate the public on the effects of imprisonment and the need for a more
judicious use of prison sentences. Prisoners, their families, and all those
affected by crime will be remembered regularly during the intercessions at all
daily services during the week.

Want to create a
better flower arrangement as part of your Christmas decorations at home? Why
not come to a practical demonstration in inspiring surroundings! Angela
Pritchard of SCOLA is running a free session in St Mary’s on the afternoon of
Saturday November 16, from 1.30pm to 4.30pm. Bring all the materials of your
choice with you - foliage, candles, dried or fresh flowers, Oasis, container,
etc - Angela and some familiar faces will be on hand to help you improve your
skills, and there will be very light refreshments available when you get
exhausted. This afternoon is offered as part of Sutton Arts Council’s Craft
Development Programme.

“Lighten our Darkness” - a quiet day for
Advent - takes place at St Michael’s in Milton Road on Saturday November 30.
Led by Revd Penny Brown (vicar of St Matthew’s, Croydon) it begins with coffee
at 10.30am and runs until 4.00pm. Lunch is provided and the whole thing is
free, but there will be a retiring collection intended to cover costs. No need
to book, just turn up.
Selwyn Tillett
What a fantastic
morning it was as friends old and new gathered at St Mary’s on Sunday, October 6,
to give thanks to God for the dedication of our church, to thank Betty for
serving as our Reader for 25 years and to celebrate Heather Cosgrove’s 60th
birthday. We were delighted to have among our guests Lady Penelope Nairne, our
Patron, John and Frances Read (John, a former Rector), John Munns representing
the Central Readers Board and Mrs Christine Howell, who was also celebrating
her Silver Jubilee as a Reader, having trained with Betty.
Betty preached an
excellent sermon, linking together the day’s readings, her experiences as a
Reader and the debt we owe to Heather for her administrative and organisational
skills, which help to make occasions such as this so successful. She went on to
make an appeal for us to recognise that we all have a ministry - something we
can offer in service to our Lord; we are all needed and equally valued. As
Selwyn has mentioned in the past, and Betty now reminded us, the parish has a
need for another Reader or a Non-Stipendiary Minister - or both! It isn’t
necessary to wait for the Lord to “blind you with light on the road to
Damascus” to feel that you could offer yourself as a possible candidate; a
genuine desire to serve is also a vocation*.
After the Eucharist,
we gathered in the Church Centre for a very substantial brunch - eggs, bacon,
sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes and fried potatoes. And there was jelly and ice
cream to follow! Betty and Heather together cut their joint anniversary cake,
which was made in the form of a book (very appropriate as Betty is renowned for
her bookstall). They were both duly embarrassed by speeches of appreciation and
we presented Betty with a cheque, which she says will go towards the
landscaping of her garden.
So thank you very much
to all who donated so generously and to those who cooked, served, prepared and
cleared up afterwards. May Betty now enjoy a long and happy retirement and, of
course, we shall still see her in church and around the parish.
Jenifer Davison
Betty adds: Thank you very much for the good wishes and
gifts on the occasion of my silver jubilee as Reader. The brunch was a happy
occasion, thanks to Heather’s organisation and generosity in sharing her
special birthday with me. I shall still be a member of St Mary’s and as “Reader
Emerita” perhaps occasionally assist with services. Thank you for all your
support over the years.
*Please speak to
Selwyn or myself if you are interested in either of these ministries.
At the meeting of the
Parochial Church Council on Monday, September 23, the council noted that the
implementation of the agreed maintenance plan for the churchyard had begun but
this would not come into full effect until the next growing season.
The faculty for the
votive stand had been approved and it is hoped this will be in place in time
for All Souls Day.
Reference was made to
the recent occasion when the church was struck by lightning and relief was
expressed that the lightning conductor had done its job. Some members recalled
a similar instance a few years ago - who says lightning never strikes twice!
The Treasurer provided
her regular up-date on finances. “Swings and roundabouts” seems to be the order
of the day, with budgeted income and expenditure continuing more or less in parallel.
There was concern, however, that the Shopping List is now about £1,000 behind
target. While not being unusual for the time of year, if this position
continues, Cassie will need to dip into her reserves - a situation we all hope
will not be necessary.
The PCC has been aware
for a while that the church’s wiring system, having been installed probably
more than 40 years ago, was in need of an overhaul. A report following an
inspection of the electrics did not make happy reading! In agreeing that the necessary
work should be put in hand as soon as possible, members were aware of the cost
implications. Some of the recommendations were more pressing than others and
the work (and hence the cost) will be spread over about 15 months. The Finance
Committee will be burning the midnight oil working out just how the project
will be paid for and the Treasurer should be in a position to give a full
explanation of all this shortly after the November PCC meeting.
An updated Child
Protection Policy for St Mary’s was received and adopted, with sincere thanks
to Heather Cosgrove for all she does in her rôle as Child Protection Officer.
The Policy will be placed on the internal church noticeboard, issued to
organisations which hire the Centre and to those people who are responsible for
children within church organisations.
The news that June
Allen has accepted the post of Health and Safety Officer was received with
delight.
As part of the PCC’s
consideration of various aspects of the Disability Discrimination Act, it discussed
ways in which access to the church and Centre could be made easier for those
with visual impairment. To this end, advice will be sought from bodies such as
the RNIB.
Finally, the knotty
problem of Car Boot Sales was raised, one member pointing out that so far this
year nine such sales had taken place, whereas a maximum of six had been
promised. The member in question will be taking the matter further.
The PCC is next
scheduled to meet on Friday, November 15.
Diana Harries - PCC Secretary
Many of the St Mary’s
community have seen performances by Chimes Musical Theatre, which
was created by Cassie in 1987. This
November sees the fifteenth anniversary of the original concert, which was
called Just a song at teatime - an afternoon of parlour-song
entertainment. It was presented as part of a day of music at Bourne Hall in
Ewell in aid of the British Epilepsy Association, and was in memory of a friend
of Cassie’s who had died as a result of her epilepsy.
The group found
themselves asked to do a concert about a year later as a fund-raising event for
Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Church in Tolworth; and the rest, as they say, is
history. Cassie continued to arrange musical entertainments for charitable
causes, and an increasing number of her theatrical and musical colleagues were
recruited to take part. Of course, in 1995 she married her accompanist, which
was a cunning move! The spectrum of musical styles increased with the various
performers, and now ranges from opera to operetta, from music hall to musical
comedy, from parlour-song to pantomime; casts have ranged from three performers
to 12, and audiences from the Sutton Deanery Clergy Wives to the Sir Arthur
Sullivan Society – including transatlantic visitors!
The singers have
generally been colleagues from choirs and operatic societies, many of whom are
professional musicians; but whether they earn their living from music or not,
they have freely given their time and considerable talents – generally for no
more than expenses and the occasional glass of something red… We’ve been proud
to work with performers who have otherwise graced the stages of Glyndebourne,
the English National Opera and the Royal Albert Hall (to name but a few), but
who have been happy to work in churches, halls and stately homes, raising funds
for charities ranging from the Cot Death Foundation to Hearing Dogs for the
Deaf, from St Peter & St James Hospice to the Vauxhall Four Peaks
Challenge, from stately home restoration to an assortment of church building
funds . . . and, of course, that brings us to our fifteenth anniversary, which
will be celebrated at St Mary’s on Saturday November 23 at 7.30 pm.
The name Chimes had no
particular significance when it was chosen, except that it was reminiscent of
pleasant-sounding music. It’s a happy
coincidence that our fifteenth anniversary should be so appropriately sited at
St Mary’s, which has entertained – and been entertained by – the group five
times before since their first visit here in 1996; and that our Tower &
Bells fund should benefit from the proceeds!
This looks set to be a
fine concert, with 11 performers who represent a wide range of styles and
voices; as always, a combination of young professionals and extremely
accomplished amateurs, who work together to share their love of music and
entertainment. We also welcome some special guests: our very own Handbell
Ringers, who will continue the chiming theme!
Please help us to fill St Mary’s for this very special event – it will
be, as one of our previous concerts was titled, a Glamorous Night. This really will be a performance with all
the bells and whistles!
Tickets will be £5 if
booked in advance, or £6 on the door. For further details, speak to Cassie or
Selwyn, or check out the Chimes website: www.chimesmusicaltheatre.co.uk
Cassie Tillett
The teacher promised
us a drab evening. She was Mrs Hazel Shirley from the St John’s Ambulance
Brigade. The subject was “Life-saving First Aid” and DRAB was the mnemonic for
what to do if we should ever have to help anyone needing immediate aid. (“D” =
Danger - remove from any danger; “R” = Response, ie, any response from the
patient?; “A” = Airways - are they clear? and “B” = Breathing)
All 15 of us,
representing the sidespeople, PCC and ringers and brought together by June Allen,
enjoyed ourselves. Practising on each other helped to reinforce the messages,
which were most entertainingly presented. We learned that, although we are not
trained and qualified first-aiders, there is much that we can do while waiting
for someone better qualified to arrive. This gave us confidence and reminded us
that the “D” could also stand for “Don’t panic”.

Saturday October 12
was a very significant day for Robert and me; we were celebrating our sixth
wedding anniversary. It was also the birthday of my best friend, Ann, so after
filling ourselves with celebration fare, we headed off to St Mary’s to indulge
ourselves with a “culture-vulture” musical treat.
The theme of the
evening was Ancient to Modern, which was more than covered by just the chosen
repertoire of music. The audience was made up of both awestruck youngsters who
might be aspiring organ scholars of the future and equally awestruck more
mature folk who may well have been organ scholars of the past. St Mary’s
provided splendid, reflective surroundings, while a 21st century video link
from the Carew Chapel to the audience enabled us to watch Andrew apply his
craft. (Selwyn did comment in his closing thank yous that he half expected the
football results to appear at any moment!)
The opening piece, Toccata
and Fugue in D minor by Mr Bach, had its usual effect on the hairs
on the back of my neck and sent a shiver down my spine - no, I wasn’t sitting in
the draught from the south porch! We sailed through the Early English and
Baroque periods with a selection by Boyce, Bach, Mendelssohn and Franck, all of
which, as relative novices to organ music, kept our party entranced and very
moved. Andrew kindly gave us a little resumé of the pieces and baffled us with
science - “eight channel piston system set at number one” roughly translated to
“very loud and very dramatic!”
At half time we were
treated to refreshments and I was honoured to find myself in the tea queue with
the star himself (can’t say I’ve found myself in that position when at a
Madonna concert!). There appeared to be a bit of a dash to taste a piece of
home-made bread pudding going on at the other side of the hall while I was
hobnobbing with the maestro.
The second half saw us
move through Bach, Pescetti (one of our party deemed this her very favourite
piece) and Chorale in B minor by Cesar Franck. I can only assume that
this was written for a musical octopus on speed! Andrew carried it off with
dynamism, incredible energy and amazing dexterity. It was a joy to listen to
and indeed to watch.
Just when we thought
things couldn’t get any better, out of the hat came, “In the Blackpool Style”,
a light-hearted selection of old favourites, using the organ’s “Wurlitzer”
capabilities. It was wonderfully hammed up by Andrew’s stage presence. To end
the evening - which had gone by in a flash - Toccata in F by Widor, a
suitable finale with its no-holds-barred style. Surely this would have
converted anyone who says that organ music is sedate and boring.
Robert, our friends
and myself had a lovely evening - wonderful surroundings, a varied (and largely
unknown to us) repertoire, which was beautifully executed by Andrew. To sum it
up in the Ancient and Modern theme of the evening, “jolly spiffing concert, old
chap” or “Andrew, you really rock, man”.

In fact there were
quite a few ladies who were tramps - and also some gentlemen - all of whom
looked extremely authentic and made those of us who had come in our everyday
clothes feel positively overdressed! (You looked fine to us!! - Ed.)
However, St Mary’s
ringers, who had organised this Tramps Supper, had prepared the evening very
well and the Centre had been transformed into a tramps’ heaven - straw on the
floor, a bar serving excellent liquor and the promise of food to come. In fact,
no tramp had ever had it so good.
To start off with, a photographic
quiz of ringers when young had us all puzzled - how one changes over the years!
After a spell of scrutinising photographs, we were all asked to go into church
for another quiz, which proved to be a real test of our observational powers.
Do you know how many misericords there are or which harvest hymn has the line
“Like Israel, Lord, we give our earliest fruits to thee”? Small wonder there
was a queue for looking through hymn books!
All this completed, we
were summoned back into the Centre where a transformation had taken place. The
straw was still on the floor but a long table was in place with large baskets
of bread at strategic intervals and a most delicious aroma wafting from the
servery spot. We were offered a difficult choice of a sausage casserole or
chilli con carne, both delicious and imaginatively and quickly served in
polystyrene boxes, the lids of which made excellent “side-plates” for one’s
bread. The desserts which followed were equally mouth watering - apple pies,
crumbles and charlottes and all with hot custard.
After all this
gastronomic excellence, we were ready to sit back and be entertained. To begin
with, we had a tap-dance version of We’re a couple of swells ably
executed by Margaret Brueton (with backing vocals by the ringing Master and
secretary and accompanied by the organist!) and following that, the handbell
ringers gave us a musical medley of favourite tunes.
This rounded off a
most enjoyable evening - one which would leave some very pleasant memories. My
own abiding memory will be that of seeing one of our respected sidesladies
striding around the Centre, her tramp’s outfit completed by a canvas bag with a
large gin bottle sticking out of the top and a tin mug slung at the ready from
a belt around her waist! I’m glad to say that the next morning she looked none
the worse for wear!
Thank you, ringers,
for a great beginning to Harvest Festival weekend.
Mary Tapp
Both dedication, with
a small “d”, and stamina were the marks of one weekend for St Mary’s
choristers.
Saturday afternoon
started with singing for a wedding. Then, after greeting their friends and
long-time sporting rivals from All Saints, Hertford, and from Worthing, they
adjourned to the football pitch where they systematically demolished the
visitors’ defence and won 6-1. This was a significant victory over a team they
had never beaten before.
Another demolition job
was quickly achieved at tea time - this one a joint effort! The speed with which
quantities of sandwiches and cakes disappeared was a tribute to the “choir
mums” who had produced the delicious spread. Many thanks to you all.
Then the organist of
All Saints, Hertford, conducted a pre-service practice and the afternoon
concluded with Evensong for the Eve of Dedication, sung by the joint choirs to
a setting by Sir Charles Stanford - with one of his loudest settings of the Nunc
Dimittis.
And after all that,
there they were again to sing at 9.30 on the Sunday morning…

The Friends of Beddington
and The Grange Parks has lapsed and Dee Hyatt would like to resurrect it. The
parks are in need of representation at the Council Parks Group meetings which
she is happy to take on. But she needs help from anyone who is interested in
keeping an eye on the parks, and lets her know what needs attention
If you are interested
in joining Dee, either by attending the occasional meeting to discuss the needs
of the parks, or just keeping the friends informed on actions required to keep
the wonderful amenity we have in good condition, let her know.
Dee is considering
having a meeting around the middle of November and she would like to know if
anyone is interested in attending. It depends on how many are interested as to
whether she has the meeting at home or at a local venue (does anyone know of
one that will offer free accommodation?).
Some of the issues
that need addressing are general upkeep, children’s playground, bridge over the
boating lake, rubbish, security, etc.
Give Dee a call on
8647 1014 if you are interested.
