Pastoral Letter
Dear friends
I wish I could be writing something about signs of spring and warmer
weather, but we seem to be caught in a seemingly endless cycle of rain,
unseasonably mild temperatures, the far-too-early appearance of
daffodils and blossom, and fierce winds instead. Have you, like me,
noticed that we’ve had windy weather since last Pentecost? I thought
then that it was appropriate to have a reminder of the wind of change and
the blowing of the Holy Spirit all around us, but either the patterns are just
‘odd’, or we’re missing something that God is telling us.
Perhaps this is a good way to begin the season of Lent. There’s always a
struggle between the seasons as winter submits to spring, but calling our
discipleship into review is also going to be a battle between our selfish
desires and the self-sacrificing love of our neighbour. It’s the way of
things that spring will triumph over winter in the same way that
Christianity teaches that life triumphs over death. Whatever challenges
face us just now, whether personal, within our family or our parish, if we
put our trust in God, who always wants what’s best for us, and follow the
Way that Jesus shows us, we will rejoice at Easter.
I remember a comment in a brochure which advertised a series of operas
reading, ‘Our season presents a huge journey for us…The climb is steep,
the path sometimes challenging, but the views are spectacular. That is
why we want to lead you there.’ The same could be said of the spiritual
journey. We may be buffeted by the wind as we journey on, and if you’d
like to discuss your particular journey with me through Lent, don’t hesitate
to ask. In our individual ways, let’s make it known to others that the view
from the top of the mountain is glorious, and we await it once again, with
anticipation.

Every Wednesday 7.30pm – 9.30pm - St Andrew’s Church, Chinnor
Sometimes we feel anxious and lonely, burdened by worry or grief, or overwhelmed by
problems and would just like the opportunity to talk to someone about what we are
experiencing. Anyone can drop in. We provide a cup of tea or coffee, but more importantly a
caring and friendly ear. Someone will listen in a confidential, un-hurried and non-judgemental
way. You may wish to socialise, sit quietly and have time to yourself, away from the
pressures of daily life. The church is heated and we provide informal candlelit areas and soft
music for relaxation or prayer. Please do call in.
Village Prayers
This month we are praying for the residents of Rectory Meadow, Chinnor.
Prayer for our neighbours and those who support them in word and deed.
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your love for us revealed in your Son, Jesus Christ. You
call us to make your love known to others in this parish and neighbourhood. Help each of
us to respond to this challenge and as visits are made, go before us, show us how to best use
our opportunities, help us to speak a word in season, and in all we say and do, may we
commend our Lord and further his kingdom, to the glory of your name. Amen.

ST ANDREW’S CHURCH FLOWER FESTIVAL
JOYFUL CELEBRATION : 2 JUNE – 5 JUNE 2016
The St Andrew’s Church Flower Guild is hosting a flower festival with the theme of
Joyful Celebration from Thursday 2 June until Sunday 5 June 2016. This is in
conjunction with the Chinnor Open Gardens to be held over the weekend of
Saturday 4 June and Sunday 5 June. Flower arrangers from different churches as
well as flower clubs will also be invited to participate.
It is envisaged that over 30 flower arrangements will be depicted in the church
celebrating the important festivals during the church’s year as well as Her Majesty
The Queen’s 90th birthday. In order for this festival to be a success, the Flower
Guild is approaching various businesses and organisations to sponsor a flower
arrangement. A credit for this sponsorship will appear in the leaflet alongside the
sponsored flower arrangement.
If you as an organisation or an individual – either to commemorate a special day or
a special person - would like to sponsor a flower arrangement it would be
appreciated if you could please contact Pat Haywood (e-mail :
P.HAYWOOD673@BTINTERNET.COM or telephone 01844 352007).
The funds raised during this flower festival will go towards the maintenance of St
Andrew’s Church and Parish Burial Grounds.
Thanking you in advance for your support and sponsorship.
Every Blessing

Priest Vicar and Chaplain at St Pauls Cathedral Church, London
The Reverend Helen O’Sullivan
In July 2009, we were asked in an article by (I think) Bridget le Huray what we were
doing at 3.00pm on the 5th. The weather then was very hot and she wondered if we
had been sunbathing, picnicking or just relaxing. Many of us were in Dorchester
Abbey waiting for the ordination of Helen O’Sullivan as our Curate. The next
gathering was on the Isle of Wight when Helen was licensed as Rector/Vicar of St
Marys Brighstone and other churches.
So, what were you doing on 11th February 2016 at 5.00pm? Keeping warm in front of
a roaring fire with a cup of hot liquid maybe? It was certainly very cold, but dry and
sunny in London. Why were we there? I’ll tell you.
Excitement was mounting as a group of us made our way to St Pauls Cathedral to
see Helen Licensed and Installed as Priest Vicar and Chaplain. On arrival we were
welcomed by the staff and invited in to soak up the atmosphere and beauty of this
breathtaking building.
Helen was soon spotted and, after a quick rehearsal, she saw us under the Dome.
Her face lit up as she made her way to greet us. We were early, so had front row
seats and the best view in the house. The coach from Brighstone arrived and we
were able to renew some acquaintances from previous meetings, before the
Evensong service began.
At 5.00pm we stood to sing “All people that on earth do dwell” as the Vicars Choir,
College of Minor Canons, Visiting Clergy, The College of Canons, The Chapter and
The Bishop of London left the Dean’s Aisle and took their places in the Quire. The
Canon in Residence escorted the Chaplain Designate (Helen) from the Dean’s Aisle
to stand before the Bishop. Helen was resplendent in white and gold robes. She
looked very serene, but I’m sure she had a few butterflies. The Bishop welcomed
everyone and asked the people of Brighstone to show their support with a cheer.
The Dean then presented Helen to the Bishop saying: “Right Reverend Father in
God, I present to you Helen O’Sullivan to be licensed as Priest Vicar and Chaplain of
this Cathedral Church.”
The Bishop thanked the Dean for the Presentation and said “Let the Declaration of
Assent now be made and the Oaths taken and subscribed as the law allows.” The
Bishop read The Preface to the Declaration of Assent and Helen responded with The
Declaration. Turning to the Congregation, Helen took The Oath of Allegiance to Her
Majesty the Queen, The Oath to uphold the Constitution and Statutes of the
Cathedral.
A moment of silent prayer for the Chaplain Designate followed before the Bishop
read the License and delivered it to Helen before blessing her.
The Bishop proceeded to his Cathedra and The Dean led Helen to the stall belonging
to The Priest Vicar and said: “I, David John Ison, Dean of this Cathedral Church of St
Paul, do place you, Helen Louise O’Sullivan, in the stall of a Priest Vicar of the
Cathedral Church, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.”
Helen then knelt and said The Lord’s Prayer. The Service continued with
Responses, Psalm (sung by the Vicars Choral), First Lesson (Isaiah 6. v1 - 8), sung
Magnificat (Herbert Howells), Second Lesson read by Helen (Luke 4. v.16 – 21), sung
Nunc Dimitis (Herbert Howells). Collects for the Day, Peace and Aid were said
before the Vicars Choral sand the Anthem “In pace, in idipsum, dormiam et
requiescam” (In peace, in true peace I shall sleep and rest).
The Service concluded with the hymn “I heard the voice of Jesus say,” The Bishops
Blessing and the departure of the Choir and Ministers. The congregation were then
treated to an Organ Voluntary (Herbert Howells Master Tallis’s Testament).
The order of service stated: We are delighted that Helen O’Sullivan is join the team
of clergy at St Pauls and invite you to join with us in praying for her and her ministry
here as she is installed as Chaplain today.
The Chapter House was our next stop for wine, canapés and catch-ups with Helen
and Jonathon. Helen was very excited and flitted around the room making sure, in
true Helen style, not to miss anyone. Time went very quickly and it was all too soon
before we had to say our goodbyes. It had been a very memorable experience and
one we were glad to be part of.
Helen sends her love and thanks to everyone who sent messages and cards.
There is a copy of The Order of Service in each of the Churches for people to have a
look at. Please do not remove them. Thank you.

Parish Pancake Fun!
Shrove Tuesday or ‘Pancake day’ was a huge success across the parish.
Sydenham held pancake races followed by hot pancakes in The Old
Schoolroom.
The Christian Aid Pancake Party held on 9th February saw the Village
Hall heaving with folks of all ages enjoying pancakes with all sorts of
fillings. There were various activities for the youngsters and from
reports received a good time was had by all. We raised a total of
£302 after deductions so we’re thrilled with that. Thanks so much for
the support from so many folks – we couldn’t have done this without
you.

LENT APPEAL 2016: TOILET TWINNING
Can you imagine what life would be like without your loo?
As keen campers/caravanners, Des and I are reminded regularly of what it
is like to have no running water and to have to fetch water and empty our
“portaloo” on a daily basis. But imagine how it would be if you had no
access at all to a loo?
Tearfund is appealing for funding to provide the means for villages to
build a simple loo for their community and to teach the importance of
hygiene and sanitation.
You too can help through our Lent Appeal this year
Just pick up a box from your church or the Church Office in Chinnor, or
provide your own box at home. Then ask everyone who uses your loo
during Lent and Eastertide to make a donation each time they “spend a
penny”. We are suggesting a contribution of 20p for a “pee” and 50 p for
a “poo”. You may have seen that there is a box in St Andrew’s loo already
as Bridget Le Huray has kindly already sponsored the twinning of the loo.
If you would like to twin your home loo, please contact Chris for
further details or pick up a leaflet, which are available at all the
churches.
Boxes should be returned to the Church Office or Chris Foote no later
than the end of April. Thank you for your support,
Chris Foote (355945), 33 Mill Lane, Chinnor
Lent Count your Blessings Leaflets
For adults and children are available at the back of St. Andrew’s

They are worth taking a look at even if you feel unable to complete all

people in poorer places in the world and be thankful for what we have.
Count our Blessings, as the leaflet says! Please pick one up.

Parish News
The Parish Share is the amount of money that each parish is asked to
pay to the Diocese of Oxford. It supports the ministry and mission of the
Church of England in the local parish, the Diocese of Oxford and the
United Kingdom as a whole.
The pie chart below shows how the Parish Share is used by the
Diocese of Oxford in percentage terms.
The largest amount of expenditure is for 'Our parish ministry' at 81%. This
shows that the salary, pension contribution, housing and training of the
local clergy for the United Parish of Chinnor, Sydenham, Aston Rowant
and Crowell is paid by the Diocese of Oxford.
The other types of expenditure are also important. 'National church
responsibilities' at 8% reflects the funding of ordination training at the
national level, church costs at a national level and supporting churches in
poorer parts of the country. 'Missions' at 8% reflects support for missions
in the local parish, diocese and country including: vital safeguarding, work
with children and young people, church schools and communications.
'Diocesan support' at 3% reflects the administration, legal and expert
services carried out by the Diocese of Oxford.
The ability of the United Parish of Chinnor, Sydenham, Aston
Rowant and Crowell to pay its Parish Share is
heavily dependent on the gifts, contributions at services and
stewardship donations from members of the congregation.
