Rectory Ramblings I was very thankful that the parish of South Tawton Summer Event did not quite clash with football, and thankful to all who worked so hard to make the event a success and to those who attended. Recently we have been blessed in this country with sporting success. Last year we won the Ashes, this year we have a chance to become the best at football. I doubt if a homegrown player will win Wimbledon, but we cannot have everything. I hope that sportsman and women that are in the public eye, realize their great gifts, and receive thanks (not simply financial) for the enjoyment their skills give others. It is good to hear that an individual is a good ambassador for their sport. For me this proves that top class sport can still be played with fairness, honesty and with a joy for sport’s sake. (A personal plea to sportsman, especially, is that they do not ‘spit’ so very much, I cannot remember Colin Cowdrey or Bobby Moore having such an unpleasant habit!!!) Some names will always be immortal, Banks, Cohen, Wilson, Stiles, Charlton J., Charlton B., Moore, Peters, Ball, Hurst and Hunt. These names from 1966 are remembered with excitement and pride. The game itself will not make the world a better place, but how the game is played, if it is played with courage, and integrity might persuade us to live life in such a way and that would prove to be important. Michael Quote of the month ‘Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gifts.’ 2 Corinthians 9 v 15 |

Flower Festival 18th - 20th August 2006 Following on from the success they enjoyed last year, St. Andrew Church Flower Team proudly present this years flower festival on the theme of ‘Books’ The church will be open for the viewing of displays on Friday and Saturday from 10:30 to 6:30 pm and on Sunday from noon until 6:30 p.m. Please accept a warm invitation to attend this festival of flowers. There will be home baked refreshments available daily and on Saturday between noon and 2 p.m. you can sample the delights of the B-B-Q hosted by Keith Redstone. If you would like to make an evening of it why not come to the ‘Bubbles & Bits’ (Cava and posh nibbles!) at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday (Tickets £5). While feasting you will be able to enjoy a concert of light music and song provided by a team of talented singers and players. The Festival ends with Songs of Praise on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. To coincide with the Flower festival the South Tawton Art Group are having an Exhibition and Sale of their work in Church House (Sat. & Sun.). Entry to the festival will be free of charge. We hope, however, that visitors will be generous in making donations, which will support the reordering of an area of the church for refreshments. Donations of flowers or foliage would be most welcome and may be left at the church on Thursday August 17th in the afternoon. We look forward to seeing you and hope you enjoy the weekend! I think you will agree these are definitely dates for your diary and a great way to celebrate summer! For further details about taking part contact Wendy Redstone 840205. |
