LINDA’S LETTER
NOVEMBER 2014
Everything Has Its Time
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: Ecclesiastes 3, Verse 12
Michaelmas is now past and the year is visibly aging; it is, as some might say ‘Growing Gold’. The
clocks have gone back, dusk comes early, and the season of mist and mellow fruitfulness fades as
the last of the leaves fall to the ground. The days close in and with them the memories. November
could be called a maudlin month, given over to St Nostalgia, with All Saints, All Souls and
Remembrance Day encouraging us to relive our former days.
I always approach autumn with mixed emotions. The early weeks of autumn are one of my favourite
times of the year, but there is also a note of sadness. The warmth of summer is but a memory; the
fields once vibrant with crops are now stripped bare and the trees stark grey skeletons against
rain-laden sky.
A few weeks ago we met up with friends on the shore of Lake Windermere - the day was mild, the sky
was deep blue, and the hotel where we had lunch had large orange pumpkins piled high on both
sides of the entrance doors; this was autumn in all its glory and if only it could stay like this for ever. I
didn’t want things to change, but realistically we know that things will change. Everything has a
beginning and an end. Flowers die, leaves turn brown and fall, and beauty fades. As much as we
would sometimes like for things to remain as they are, we know they cannot. Children grow up and
leave home. Parents grow old and pass away. The physical beauty or handsomeness we knew as
young adults fades - just a little. A job is phased out or it comes time to retire from that profession that
was so loved. A good friend moves away. Change is all around us and most of us find that difficult.
The lesson of autumn is change - which is central to the cycle of life. The sooner we come to
understand that lesson the better and more helpful it will be for us. This cycle of seasons is imprinted
on the year, the very earth and all creation. It’s a cycle of dying and rising again, of losing and
finding. The opportunity that autumn holds for us is to enjoy the beauty of each day. For no two days
are exactly alike; the sky will be different tomorrow. The wildlife we see will be different. Even the
leaves on the trees will all be different as colours change overnight. Each day is a fresh invitation to
cherish the moment as a gift from God.
Every day holds its own peculiar blessing and aspects of wonder to be entered into - appreciated
with a spirit of gratitude. Though we often think of natural beauty in the season, there are other
beauties of life that we can take note of and be grateful for throughout the year—the smile and
laughter of our children or grandchildren; a meaningful conversation with a good friend; a thoughtful
gesture by someone we meet during the course of our day. Take time to stop, reflect, and learn the
spiritual lessons and wisdom which each season of life holds. Watch the leaves turn, the sun set and
the geese flying overhead. And thank God for the gift and opportunities of each day as well as the
natural splendour with which we are surrounded. And know that when winter finally does come,
spring can’t be far behind.
“Lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flower appears on the earth; the time of the singing of the bird is come, and the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land.” Song of Solomon 2: 11-12
Every blessing, Revd Linda

Parish trip to Carlisle
6th November at 2.45 in church
On Wednesday 8th of October a group of
intrepid parishioners ignored the wet weather
warnings and set off on a coach trip to Carlisle
for the day. Arriving late morning gave some
free time in Carlisle to attend the Cathedral
Eucharist or spend some time in the museums
or shops, before meeting for lunch at Tullie
House Museum Restaurant
A short service and fun activities for young families
(2-6 year olds) and the young at heart!
Refreshments ~ juice & snacks
The Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols
will be held on
What’s coming up
November Work Parties
Thank you to Beetham Parish Council for
their generous donation of £500 for bulbs
for the churchyard, and to Dallam Estate and
Beetham Nurseries for helping the church to
source the appropriate varieties of bulbs
There will be two work parties to
plant these bulbs, from 10am on
5th and 7th November. Please
join us on either day to help make
a spectacular Spring display
Pop in for coffee & cake!
Next coffee morning
Wednesday 5th November
10.15am to 12.00
Join us in church for
Beetham Village
Coffee Morning
on the first Wednesday of each month
(except January)
What’s been happening
Sunday 21st December at 6.30pm
In the afternoon, a full guided tour of the
Cathedral had been arranged and it was a
fascinating insight into it’s development.
Begun in the same century as Beetham Church,
Carlisle was one of only four Augustinian
churches to become a cathedral in England.
The barrelled chancel ceiling is beautifully
painted and the magnificent East window was
pointed out as the largest ‘flowing decorated
Gothic’ window in England
CHIMES
~ ‘A Grand Day Out’
Towards the end of the tour, some members were also given a special
opportunity to climb 117 spiral steps and walk along the clerestory level
above the chancel to reach the ringing chamber, then more steps up to
the bell chamber housing 13 ringable bells and 5 older bells for chiming
Following the tour further free
time enabled people to either
look round Tullie House
Museum at the chequered
history of Carlisle as a Border
town, or enjoy some shopping
and relax over a cup of tea
The day ended with Choral
Evensong, sung by the Carlisle
Cathedral Youth Choir. Then a
coach trip back in the rain
completed our Parish Grand
Day Out...
Bygone Beetham
St Michael & All Angels, c.1895
The headstone on the far left is no longer there and the
‘table’ gravestone has been lowered to ground level.
Within 10 years the pergola had been built and roses
were cascading along this pathway
A new website for St Michael & All
Angels is currently under development,
giving details of the church, what’s on,
The Gateway online, and much more!
Look out for further details next month

A Harvest Much Ado About Nothing
The year is 1584 at The Globe Theatre, Stratford upon Bela, owned by
the infamous Shylock.
Bill Wobblesword - later to be known as
William Shakespeare - is a young playwright at the time and sees the
Globe as a means to promote his plays. But Bill has sent his apologies
for the evening…
The scene was set for the Harvest Supper on 3rd October in the Heron
Corn Mill Barn. In tribute to Sandy Lofthouse, who was keen to direct
his own interpretation of Hamlet (Thelma), a Shakespearean theme was
chosen for the evening. In the absence of Bill, Shylock was forced to
run the ’Bard’s Bingo’ himself but this was continuously interrupted by
strolling players wanting to try out new acts. But the presence of 8
witches in MacVitie (later renamed Macbeth), 4 Gentlemen on the Phone
-er, and an abridged Hamlet proved to be too much, culminating in a
pound of flesh (or sausages) being awarded to the winner of the Bingo

On Sunday 19th October we were delighted to welcome Revd Philip
Barber back to Beetham to lead our Friends Sunday Parish Eucharist,
followed by the Friends of Beetham Church AGM and Lunch
Phil and Anne joined many of the Friends at the Heron Corn Mill Barn for
an excellent traditional roast beef Sunday lunch, a catch-up on what has
been happening in Beetham Parish, and a look ahead at the challenges—
and fun—in fundraising plans for the next year. Proceeds from the raffle
were donated to Beetham Church Heritage Trust
Do you enjoy singing?
Rehearsals will shortly begin for the Festival
of Nine Lessons and Carols, under the
musical direction of Charles Edmondson,
and we would welcome additional male and
female voices in the choir

School
Corner
As I write this edition of School Corner we are all looking forward to our half term holiday
after a very busy but exciting start to the school year.
Our Harvest Service was led by Rev Linda and attended by many parents and friends from the village. We
collected a huge amount of gifts for Manna House, the homeless shelter in Kendal, which are being used to help
with the ‘Winter Shelter’ that they provide. The children made their own bread models and these were displayed
in church and are now in our school entrance. Some of our families also attended the
Harvest Family Service in church where the children shared information about their
favourite breads and how they like to eat them.
We are very lucky in school that we have a group of parents who are willing to come in and cook with our children on
a Friday morning. They make a wide range of foods and in this picture the KS2 group have made spring rolls. These
are then shared with everyone in school so that the children have the opportunity to try different foods and learn
about the ingredients.
One of the highlights of the half term was a day’s canoeing on Windermere for our KS2 children. We caught the ferry at Ferry Nab and
then walked around the lake path where we met our instructors. The children had some basic paddling training and then we set off in our
rafted canoes to paddle out to one of the islands. Here we explored, set up camp and made pizzas which we had with our packed lunch. We
then set off back down the lake where we played some fun games which ended with all the children swimming and playing in the water. This
was such a fantastic experience for everyone and made us realise how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place where activities like this
are so readily available.
Best wishes, Wendy Nicholas

Prisons Week, 17th November
Prisons Week is when we are reminded to think of
people in prison who have made a mess of their lives for
whatever reason. During the week events are held all
over the country by Prison Fellowship, a volunteer-driven
organisation who seek to help, support and develop a
Christian ministry to prisoners and their families. Prisons
are supported by their local churches by way of a prayer
group, or by volunteers who go into the prison to help
with a crèche, visitor’s tearoom rota, Restorative Justice
courses, writing letters to individuals or simply visiting an
offender who is far from home or has been disowned by
their family
One such Prison Fellowship initiative is Angel Tree. For
many years coffee mornings in Beetham have annually
raised over £700 to buy Christmas presents for children
whose parents are in prison. Prisoners with access to
their children can apply for a gift via Angel Tree.
Children delight in receiving a gift from Mum/Dad and
Angel Tree is a wonderful way of maintaining a link
between parent and child separated by prison
As we live out our lives in this beautiful area, give a
thought to those less fortunate than ourselves. This
winter, Angel Tree events are being held in Clapham. If
you would like to know more, please ring Anne Robinson
on 015395 63191 or visit www.prisonfellowship.org.uk
