Dear friends "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

The opening words of the book of Genesis, a constant reminder that God is the creator of all things and the giver of good gifts. We have the privilege of living in or very close to the countryside; we're well aware of seed time and harvest and know the hard work put in by our farmers to provide the food we need. They tend their farms with care and devotion - they have an affinity with the earth. God gave us the responsibility to tend and care for the earth. We are called to be stewards of what we have been given, to be grateful for all that we have and, in gratitude, to be generous in giving of our time, talents and money. God told the Israelites that when they made sacrifices to him they were to choose the first of all they had and the best. For the Israelite farmer, a farm animal represented a considerable contribution. It would have been tempting to cull the weakest animals. Instead, they were commanded to give their very best. Similarly, at every harvest they were to bring their very first grain to the Lord. These practices reminded them again and again that God's place was to take priority over everything else in their lives. Of course we're no longer bound into a sacrificial system because Jesus has made the ultimate sacrifice for us once and for all through his death and resurrection. However, even though the price of our redemption has been paid in full, that does not mean that we are not to stop giving of the very best that we have to God. In remembrance of who he is and what he has done, we should endeavour to do the very best that we can to further his kingdom, in serving him, praising him and supporting the work of the church both here and overseas. As I have said, we are stewards of what God has given us and that should fill our hearts with gratitude and make us ready to give to God the first of our time, our skills and our money. Not the leftovers for God but our 'first fruits'. The disciplined decision to set aside time each day to be with God - though prayer and reading our Bibles; giving our talents in the

service of his church - all of us have something we can do to ensure that the 'body of Christ' is functioning as a complete entity rather than having bits missing, functioning below its best; and finally to ensure that our financial giving takes precedence over all the other claims on our money - that we make this decision first, not out of what we might have left.

Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "/ tell you the truth, this widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth, but she, out of her poverty, put in everything- all she had to live on." What an example to the disciples and to us; a challenge to put our trust in God and be ready to give sacrificially to further the work of God's kingdom, not only in our town and villages but also throughout the world. Many of our brothers and sisters in Christ, and those of other faiths, are suffering deprivations as consequences of war and persecution. Could we do more to help them in their time of need? Here in our parishes, our churches are always in need of maintenance - can we each do a little bit more to help? God's kingdom can only grow if there are people to share the good news of Jesus Christ - could God be calling you to service in this way? As the nights draw in and we move into autumn and winter let each one of us look again at how we use all that God has given us and renew our commitments ohime, talents and money in his service.

Oakham and Braunston Mothers' Union Suzanne Johnston, was the speaker for our September meeting. team of helpers, she runs the Rutland Food Bank, in Oak:ham.

With her

"Operation Rudolph" was a scheme whereby church members in America gave Christmas hampers to needy people. The idea reached here five years ago. Children's Social Care took Christmas hampers from Suzanne two years ago, but the question remained --- how to feed needy members of the community more often than once a year. A Children's Social Care worker contacted Suzanne, following the cuts in social benefits last year, regarding the possibility of setting up a Food Bank. Suzanne visited the churches in Oak:ham, and prayed for guidance. It costs ÂŁ2,000 to join the Trussell Trust. There was ÂŁ800 to hand, and a single personal donation was made, to reach the required total. Over sixty people attended the first public meeting, to discuss setting up the Food Bank. The Trussell Trust provides a huge manual on the subject. But help was needed for the huge task. Suzanne had a telephone call from someone in another part of Rutland, who also aimed to set up a Food Bank, and thus, there were six individuals, who between them had the requisite skills for the undertaking. The Food Bank opened in Oak:ham on 23rd September, 2013. Social Services can refer twenty to thirty people a week to the Food Bank. (Some of these are family groups.) The criteria are, that help will be given where there is no food, and no money to buy food. The Citizens Advice Bureau, Spire Homes, Rutland Community Spirit, and Clergy visiting schools can issue the "vouchers" for the Food Bank. A client is given three day's worth of nutritionally balanced food. Only three vouchers are issued per crisis, i.e. nine to ten day's worth of food. Chief causes of distress amongst clients are - cancelled benefits, delayed benefits, and low income. Clients, where appropriate, also need to be willing to seek employment. At Christmas 2013, the voucher holders from Social Services were asked to provide names of people for whom a hamper would be appropriate. As a result, two hundred and ten hampers were provided by Rutland Food Bank. There are seventy volunteers working at the Food Bank: some make tea, some pack foodstuffs, some simply listen. Practical Christianity. The next meeting is the Quiet Morning at Uppingham on October 141h, at 10.00 a.m.

BROOKE NEWS On the morning of Saturday 13th September, a pleasant autumnal day, the little church of St Peter was filled with several parishioners, our team choir, Laudamus and members of the Peterborough Branch of the Prayer Book Society celebrating a sung matins led by the Rev Dominic Coad. Matins is not normally taken at Brooke so we were pleased that the society chose St Peter to spend the first half of their Rutland Village Day at and especially as Laudamus was to sing for the service as well. After matins Harold gave a short but interesting talk on the history of St Peter and advised the members of what to look out for as they had time afterwards to wander round and investigate. Several parishioners were on hand to answer any questions and point things out to the visitors, so thank you to. them, Harold for his informative talk and Kevin and the Team Choir for their beaut~ful singing. The next PCC meeting will be at 7.30pm on 291h October 2014 at 6 Tay Close, Oakham.

Braunston News The War Memorial Braunston Parish Council have agreed to have the name of Gladys Walter added to the Village War Memorial. Gladys was a member of the Women's Royal Air Force and died Nov 18 aged 20. She has a war grave in the churchyard but her name was omitted froin the War Memorial. It is interesting that Braunston has Major Arthur HughesOnslow recorded as dying August 1914 at the start of the Great War and Gladys Walter dying November 1918 at the very end of the war.

EGLETON NEWS These lines, composed by Adeline White, reveal a strong rural touch, a sense of place and, not least, a lyrical flourish; all are too pleasing to omit from an OCTOBER, seasonal meditation-in St. Edmund' s sort of location: The oak is aglow with a warm, crimson blush; The maple leaves show a deep purple flush. The elm tree with bold, yellow patches is bright And with pale, gleaming gold the beech seems alight! While the creeper leaves flare like red flame on the wall; Their dazzle and glare is the brightest of all. The big chestnut trees are all russet and brown As, everywhere, leaves, one by one, flutter down. St. Edmund's location seems to be a highly appropriate choice for a new homeby Ken and Wendy EDMOND. We have been delighted to welcome the two of them into close acquaintance with their new Parish Church, as well as to enjoy their company in Village events of the social sort. May their happy introduction to Egleton have a long-lasting sequence! Greetings, too, to former parishioners - of the wayfaring kind, Es me and Malcolm Mottram. After departing Egleton to make home in distant Barrowden [from whence they returned regularly to St. Edmund's on a Sunday!], they are now to be found, setting up house just beyond our Parish Bounds, in which right readily, we wish them well. It's as if they never went away! 1

St. Francis of Assisi deserves his Feast Day- October 4 h. We are told how, after he and brother monks had received some fine hospitality, Francis took chance, like the born teacher cum-preacher, to help them reflect how ... "Courtesy is one of the attributes of God himself: in courtesy he makes a present to us of his Sun and his Rain, which fall on both the just and the unjust. Courtesy is sister to charity; to charity, which causes hatred to vanish; which keeps love alive!" [from a biography of St. Francis by Michael D. LeBedoyer]

Egleton has been pleased as punch at the history-making GOOD NEWS delivered by our Parish Priest, when the Reverend Audrey has.been visibly moved to exclaim "I am a GRANDMA!" 路 ~ Our cordial greetings and congratulations have been extended to Mum & Dad and baby TYRION in Swansea. Hereby, too, they wing their endearing way from Egleton to Audrey, with much affection and warmest wishes .... Our Vicar is a GRANDMA! unknown in days of yore; by now, prime elevation; what Priest might ask for more, than cuddling HER first GRANDSON event extr'ordinaire! On Vic'rage scale of Joie de Vivre? TOP NOTCH, challenge who dare! Receive fond salutations, attaining status fine; GRAND MA MA, we salute you assuming role sublime! A most momentous season; As if on Moon to land! Such ancestral emotions Don't half make GRANs feel grand!!
