Luke 10:1-9

We all know that it’s been an unusual and a challenging year. One of the ways in which
this is manifesting itself at the moment is in the number of parishes currently holding their
APCM - something that would usually happen in April. We were given special permission
to delay the meeting until later in the year because of Covid, but now we’re reaching
deadlines and having to meet as safely as we can. For some parishes this will be by meet-
ing in the church building after the main service; for others, a meeting online. It’s an odd
way of doing business (although it’s something that we’ve all had to get used to) but it un-
derlines just how important our Annual Meeting is. We need people to take responsibil-
ity for being church officers and we need to make sure that each parish is well-run and accountable for the decisions
made and the actions taken. That’s why as well as appointing Churchwardens and PCC members, the meeting will look
at last year’s finances and hear reports about things that have happened.

The gospel reading set for the 19th Sunday after Trinity, Luke 10:1-9, might raise a wry smile from those who’ve encour-
aged people to stand for office. Jesus says to his disciples, ‘the harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few.’ We’ve all
felt like that at times! But there is strong encouragement too. Jesus reminds those whom he is commissioning that
theirs is a valuable service. It’s God’s harvest that they are asked to gather in and huge responsibility is placed in each set
of shoulders. They are trusted by Jesus to go out and do wonderful things, and reminded that it is work that deserves
reward: ‘the labourer deserves to be paid.’

We can’t pay our PCC members and Churchwardens, I’m afraid, but I do hope that they know just how valuable they are
and what an important job they do. They are labouring in the harvest for Christ and they deserve our thanks.

Pause for Prayer

God Will Take Care Of Me
God feeds the birds that sing from the treetops;
God feeds the birds that wade by the sea;
God feeds the birds that dart through the meadows;
So will Gad take care of me?

God clothes the flowers that bloom on the hillside;

God clothes the bloom that hangs from the tree;
As god cares so much for the birds and the flowers
I know God will take care of me.
A prayer based on Jesus sermon on the mount
Matthew 6
Live With Less
Learn to lend the things you own,
Learn to live with less,
Learn to look to a further shore
And God your life will bless.
A treasury of prayers for now and always.

Rev’d Linda Shipp - It is with immense sadness that we announce the recent death of Rev’d Linda Shipp.
Since her retirement she and husband Peter became regular members of our 10.00am congregation. Her
funeral arrangements have yet to be confirmed but will be at Swainby and of course restricted by Covid-19
regulations. Our condolences have been sent to Peter on behalf of the Church family.

Alan would love to hear from you.

The live streaming worked OK on Sunday so I think we are on top of it again! It was great to have Bishop Paul lead our
worship and we hope he can come again during our vacancy.
Jackie Simmonds emailed to say that the Henry cleaner which Andy “blew up “ during his last week with
us has been partly recycled? How things have changed! Bill and Ben were flowerpot men in my day, no
mention of Henry !
You may have seen on Middlesbrough Foodbank website that we are looking to recruit a new project
manager, this is because Soroush will be leaving us in March to take up a new ministry in his Church.
He has been a magnificent project leader will miss him, his generous good humoured nature and his
dedication to helping the needy. We wish him well in his new ministry.
Had an email from Christine Pointer this week, she writes: We had much belated APCM last Thursday via ZOOM
What an experience, must be some 40+ years when I have been attending such meetings and at most had a role to play either as
Church Warden, Secretary, Reader. It was strange to sit there listening watching people, not voting, couldn't really contribute. Still
it was interesting to watch people. I wonder if they realised that we could all see their every movement and facial expression.
Application for PTO as reader is slow it's almost three weeks since I last contacted the person on charge of people moving into the
diocese. Never mind, although church is open for services I don't feel confident to go. The Parish is not as fortunate as At C's we
only have a small hall. Church itself about the same size. Love and prayers for you and the congregation Christine xx
Good to hear Christine is doing well and true to form you cant keep a good man or woman down! As she points out,
we should count our blessings that we have the James Cook Hall where we can meet for worship in safety. Belated
birthday wishes to Sylvia Murray who celebrated her birthday last weekend.
Such a pity that we are seeing a rise in Covid-19 again but inevitable when you see how some are disregarding the advice
on social distancing and the number of people that wear masks but don’t cover their noses is astounding!
According to www.gov.uk this is the most up to date ruling on religious services in our area. You may attend a mosque,
church, synagogue, temple or other place or worship for a service, but you must not mix with anyone you do not live
with (unless you have formed a support bubble with them).

O God, make speed to save us.
All O Lord, make haste to help us.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation

All be acceptable in your sight, O Lord,

You, Christ, are the King of glory,

the eternal Son of the Father.
When you took our flesh to set us free
you humbly chose the Virgin’s womb.
You overcame the sting of death
and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believ-

You are seated at God’s right hand in glory.
