from Rev’d. Anne-Marie
Welcome to our first quarterly edition of Open Door.
The PCCs have taken the decision to make the
magazine quarterly rather than monthly partly because it
has become increasingly difficult to find enough
contributions for a monthly issue and also to ease the
burden on the small number of people who put the
magazine together. We are very grateful to Jane Coleman and her team, who
I know would welcome any offers of help with future editions as well as your
contributions.
The last few weeks have been very busy. Saint Luke’s has been somewhat at
sixes and sevens, but the re-ordering will soon be finished and the furniture
will all be back in the right places. There is general agreement that the new
tiles look great. We owe a debt of gratitude to Clive Eastbrook and the Fabric
Committee for all the work they have done to bring this project to fruition
and to enable services to continue throughout.
We are now looking forward to welcoming Liz Barnes as our Assistant
Curate. Liz will be ordained deacon at Chelmsford Cathedral on 30th June.
Please come to Choral Evensong at 6 pm on that evening when we will
formally welcome her to the parishes. We will also be welcoming Peter
Streete, Reader at St. Michael and All Angels, Copford, who is to be
ordained deacon on the same day. Liz will spend much of her first few weeks
following me around and finding out who everyone is and what is done how,
where, why and by whom. She will be at Saint Luke’s most Sundays and will
also become a familiar face in the three All Saints’ Churches. As a deacon,
Liz will not be able to preside at Communion or officiate at weddings. It is
expected that she will be ordained priest in a year’s time.
1
from Rev’d. Anne-Marie - continued
We have been growing into an ever closer relationship with the other
churches in the new Thurstable and Winstree Team Ministry. We are not yet
a formally constituted team but the legal work is all going smoothly and we
soon will be. This is an exciting time as we explore together how we can best
serve God and the villages in our new and expanded benefice.
We are continuing to develop our response to the Bishop’s challenge and
invitation to be a Transforming Presence. We are looking at how to develop
our services and provide enough variety to meet everyone’s needs. Morning
Worship is under review. The new Service of Holy Communion with Prayer
for Healing started in May and will be held on the second Tuesday of each
month at 8 pm at Saint Luke’s. There will be a service of Taizé Prayer on
Sunday, 28th July at 6 pm at All Saints, Great Braxted. This is a quiet,
reflective service using music from the Taizé Community in France. There
will also be a Quiet Day on Saturday, 28th September from 9.30 am to 3.00
pm on the theme of “Growing in Prayer”. We will be following a short
course to help us explore different ways of praying both individually and
together with others. If you would like to learn more about prayer and try out
some different ways of praying, this day is for you.
God is clearly at work among us and many good things are happening.
Sometimes life gets overwhelmingly busy and tempers get a little frayed.
During Eastertide we have been reminded of Christ’s commandment that we
love one another. People often comment on the strength of the community
feeling in our churches. We may not always agree with one another about
how things ought to be done, but with God’s help we will continue to love
one another and to do God’s work together.

From our New Curate
Hello everyone,
I am Liz, I’m delighted to have been invited to join
you as your Assistant Curate and it’s going to be
good to finally arrive! I am married to Mick and
we have a little Cairn terrier called Ellie.
For the last twenty-five years I have worked within
the sales and customer service department of Smurfit Kappa – the world’s
leading paper-based packaging company. I have had various roles from sales
co-ordinator to customer service manager.
I have been training for ordination on the North Thames Ministerial Training
Course in Chelmsford, which is part of St. Mellitus College, the newest
theological college in the Church of England. I enjoy reading, cooking,
walking Ellie, spending time with family and friends, and travel.
I grew up in Little Baddow and Mick grew up in Danbury. We met in 1978
and it was through our preparation for marriage in 1982 that both our
journeys of faith really began. We were both confirmed in 1983 and apart
from a short gap, have always worshipped at St. Mary the Virgin in Little
Baddow. Leaving them on the 23th June will be one of those joyfully sad
occasions.
I’m really excited about what God is doing in Tolleshunt Knights with
Tiptree, and Great Braxted and the formation of our new Team Ministry.
There are going to be many opportunities and challenges along the way and I
am very much looking forward to sharing the journey with you, as together,
we work to show God’s love to all and share the wonderful news of the
Gospel with those around us.
Mick says “I work as a retail manager for Sainsburys, currently at their
Canvey Island Store. Prior to working for Sainsburys I worked for Barclays
Bank for twenty-six years. Outside of work I enjoy long walks with Ellie,
3
From our New Curate - continued
gardening, all DIY, photography and computers. I am looking forward to
becoming a clergy spouse (I think)! I am very much looking forward to
joining the life of our new churches, where I hope, you will make use of my
pragmatic nature.”
Ellie says “I am looking forward to lots of new walkies, new doggie mates
and lots of new people to make a fuss of me. Although I might bark a lot if
you knock at our front door, I am really a very friendly little dog and will
greet you with a very waggy tail.”
We are looking forward to meeting and getting to know you all when we join
you on 30th June. In the meantime, we will be moving into the vicarage at
Messing on 11th June, so if you are passing by or you see us around, please
do say hello.
With love and prayers
Liz, Mick and Ellie
Friends of St. Luke (FOSL)
In April we held an Auction of your unwanted goods and raised just short of
£1000. The members of FOSL worked hard to obtain and get the auction
prepared and all were really pleased with not just the monetary outcome but
also that so many people participated. The money raised is being saved
towards the windows and doors in the extension that are falling apart. There
is approx £3600 saved so far.
When FOSL was re-started this year we decided to organise two events, the
second one being the Cantare Choir. This is an all-female choir who come
4
well recommended. They will be appearing in the Church on the 16th
November and I ask for your support. There will be refreshments provided by
FOSL.
Next year looking onwards and upwards we are hoping to arrange more
events and all ideas are welcomed.

During Ordinary Time our Gospel readings follow Luke’s account of Jesus’
ministry. The Old Testament readings come from a variety of books and are

The Art Club supported us with a display of varied art works which were on
sale and we thank them for the commission they gave us for items sold.
On Saturday the Extension was packed with a variety of craft stalls as well as
refreshments and a well supported raffle. This successful event raised £658
towards church funds and the Social and Fundraising Committee would like
to thank all those who supported us by supplying cakes, books, plants and
raffle prizes and for their time helping on the stalls.

Saint Luke’s School Report
Reaching into the Past
As many of you are aware we are very proud of our long history in the
village, the school having been built in 1863 and opened in 1864. Saint
Luke’s Church was instrumental in raising the funds to enable the building of
the first village school. With this in mind we are fast approaching the
celebration of 150 years as a school on our site in the centre of the village.
The original school house and first classroom still stand and are used every
day. Saint Luke’s has changed and evolved over the years and a lot of you
reading this will maybe have a story to tell of your time at Saint Luke’s
School.
We would love to hear from anyone, young
or ‘not so young’ with your memories of
your time at the school. Maybe you have
some old photographs that you could share
with us or some amusing anecdote from
your time as a pupil. My children are the
fifth generation of my family to attend
Saint Luke’s and I, for one, am extremely
proud of this.
Please don’t hesitate to contact either Tracy Frost or Libby Mole via the
school office; 01621 815456 or by email tracy.frost@stlukeschurchcp.essex.sch.uk
Reading Superstars
Well done to Chloe Harrington, Emily Upton,
Megan Turner, Ella Wakefield, Mia Epson and
Lucy Hickford for the amazing amount of
reading they do both in and out of school. We
are very proud of them all for showing such a
love of books and being excellent reading role
models.

All Saints Church Great Braxted
900th Anniversary 2015 Sub Group
A group was set up in 2010, reporting directly to the PCC, to look at
proposals to celebrate this momentous landmark for All Saints Church.
A Dedication Service is in Bishop Stephen’s diary for the second Sunday in
October 2015 and it is agreed that a variety of celebrations for the church and
community take place between the Fete that year and the Dedication Service.
A variety of options to commemorate the Anniversary have been considered.
Throughout the deliberations there has been a commitment to both
celebrating the past and serious consideration of projects that would enhance
the future of the church.
The PCC in February 2013 have agreed that the now named “PROJECT
900” will action the following: Repair, preferably, or replace our Festival and Wedding Altar
Frontal.
 Resurface the car park. (Two separate costings to be done, the car
park and the drive).
 Re-gild with gold leaf the cross and weather vane at the top of the
spire.
Clearly PROJECT 900 will require significant Fund Raising efforts. Our
first event is a concert by The Connoisseurs’ on June 29th at 7.30pm.
We look forward to working with all our church family on ideas and
events for the future.

We were delighted to learn that Rachel Shortland
had been nominated for an award by NODA
(National Operatic and Dramatic Association ,
Patron The Lord Lloyd Webber) for Best Youth
Performer in the Eastern Region, District 11, for the
year 2012 for playing Queen Avarice in “Snow
White” and our President Ray Banks summed up
what it means for us as a group for Rachel to receive this award:
It was with great pride and pleasure
that I learned of the award of Best
Young Performer being awarded to
Rachel Shortland. Rachel works very
hard at all her performances and this
award follows several nominations in
the past. All members of KYDS do a
tremendous job in every production,
and put in many hours of rehearsal
and line-learning. Rachel's award serves as a boost for every member.
Congratulations Rachel!’
We’re so excited – the proof of our posters for our next show Seussical Jnr
has been finalised and they look amazing! Keep your eyes peeled for them as
they will be popping up all over Tiptree. The cast and behind the scenes
crew are continuing to work hard and it’s really coming together well. If you
aren’t familiar with this show then it’s best summed up as an energetic
celebration of all things Seuss!! We’ve had a clowning workshop and are
soon holding a singing workshop to hone the cast’s skills to perfection for
this show. Our performance dates are Friday 5th and Saturday 6th July in the
main hall at Thurstable School so make sure you get the date in your diary
now! If you are associated with a pre-school or other community group who
would like some of our fliers to distribute then don’t hesitate to contact us or
maybe you’d like to see some of our cast in a sneak preview of their costume
before the show – we usually pop into one or two of the local primary
schools near the show dates to distribute fliers so do let us know if you’d like
us to pay you a visit! Call us on 07905 600492 or email admin@kyds.org.uk

We would like to thank the Curtain House for their support in selling our
tickets for the last few years, however as they have now relocated to Crouch
Street, Colchester we needed to find a new Tiptree outlet - Don Tylers in
The Centre have very kindly agreed to sell tickets for us from now on.
As always we are keen to welcome new members, not only young people to
perform but also anyone with a relevant skill would be a great asset to the
team – singing and dance coaching, anyone with musical attributes,
seamstresses and carpenters are all skills that are needed to put on a show.
We are a fun loving team of mixed ages and would be pleased to hear from
anyone that thinks they would enjoy getting involved.
Remember to keep up with our news on our website: www.kyds.org.uk or
follow us on facebook:

forward to seeing you all soon.

We Was Brung Up Proper!!
Congratulations to everyone who was born in the 1940s, 50s, 60s (not to
forget 1930s). First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or
drank sherry whilst pregnant, and they lived in houses made of asbestos, took
aspirin, ate blue cheese, bread and dripping, raw egg products, loads of bacon
and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes or
cervical cancer. Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with
brightly coloured lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine
bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or
shoes.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. We drank
water from a hose, not from a bottle. Take away food was limited to fish and
chips, there was no pizza shops, McDonalds or KFC. Even though all the
shops closed at 6 pm and didn’t open on a Sunday, somehow we didn’t starve
to death! We shared one soft drink with four friends from one bottle, and no
one actually died. We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the
corner store. We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter, and drank milk
from a cow and soft drinks with sugar in them, but we weren’t overweight
because . . . we were always outside playing. We would leave home in the
morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came
on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were OK. We would spend
hours building go-carts out of old prams and then ride down the hill, only to
find out we’d forgotten the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and played
in river beds with matchbox cars. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo
Wii, X-boxes, there were no 999 channels on SKY, no video/DVD films or
colour TV, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet
chat rooms … we had friends, and we went outside and found them! We fell
out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from
these accidents. Only girls had pierced ears! We ate worms and mud pies
made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us for ever. You could only
buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at Easter time. We were given air guns
and catapults for our 10th birthdays. We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s
18
house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Mum
didn’t have to go to work to help Dad make ends meet because we didn’t
need to keep up with the Joneses.
Not everyone made the rugby/football/cricket/netball team, and those who
didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Getting into the team was
based on merit.
Our teachers used to hit us with canes and gym shoes and throw the
blackboard rubber at us if they thought we weren’t concentrating. We can
string sentences together and spell and have proper conversations because of
a good solid three Rs education. Our parents would tell us to ask a stranger to
help us cross the road. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law
was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility and we learned out to
deal with it all. And you are one of them - CONGRATULATIONS! You
might want to share this with others who had the luck to grow up as kids
before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
And whilst you are at it, give this to your kids to read, so they know how
brave their parents were.
With thanks to Charlie Collar

Saint Luke’s Summer Fete
Saturday, 8th June 2013
We look forward to seeing you at our annual
Summer fete.
This will be held between 11 am - 2 pm and will include a variety of stalls,
games and entertainments. We would be grateful for donations of books,
plants, bric-a-brac, gifts and raffle prizes but most of all we would very much
value offers of help on the day - setting up, manning stalls and clearing away.
Please could you contact Mary Trayler on 01621 817478 if you are able to
help in any way.
