The Parish is served by three churches: St Leonard’s, Holy Cross and the
St Michael’s Methodist-Anglican Church Centre.
Our mission is summed up in the following statement:
Proclaiming the Good News of God’s love through Jesus Christ and showing that
love to all people.
The whole worshipping congregation in each church in our parish has
responsibility for the delivery of that message, but you may find useful information
in the Parish Directory on the inside of the back cover.

HYTHE PARISH REVIEW
November
Dear Friends,
Although we're enjoying some delightful autumn weather, the year seems
to me to be turning very quickly. By the time you read this, we will have
come to the weekend of the clocks turning back, and in the Church's
calendar we will have left behind the "Sundays after Trinity," the season of
following Jesus' teachings from his time when he was preparing his
disciples for their new life with him.
So we will come in November to the season of All Saints and All Souls,
which in turn will lead us on to Remembrance Sunday. In between those
two Sundays falls the feast of St Leonard which is important to our church,
parish and town as our patronal festival (the celebration of our patron
saint).
This year we are going to take advantage of these important dates to make
a season of remembrance - Remembrance-tide - and we will include the
event at which our church has excelled in recent years, creating a firm
tradition for the town - Lights of Love. This event, and the season following
it, have been brought forward this year, with the Lights of Love service itself
on 30th October, and a season of remembrance for those we have lost and
loved lasting until Sunday November 20th, the feast of Christ the King.
In Remembrance-tide we will be thinking and talking about the different
ways in which we remember the people and things which are important to
us. We remember in sorrow, of course, but we also remember in joy and
thankfulness for what has been. We remember in order to inspire
ourselves. We remember to learn from the past. We remember in honour,
and we remember to keep things and people alive in our hearts and lives
today, shaping the future. During this season, St Leonard's church will be
open as usual, but with opportunities to come and pray, perhaps lighting a
candle too, for the people we remember, and there will be opportunities for
taking steps towards the healing of the past where that is needed. In our
worship every Sunday, we bring our hurts and pain and failures before God,
but often we have particular regrets or sadness from past relationships,
especially with those who have died and with whom reconciliation is
therefore impossible. During Remembrance-tide, Louise and I will be
available for conversation and prayer, and for the Sacrament of
Reconciliation for those who wish to take part, and there will be a ministry
3
of Wholeness and Healing in our Sunday worship on November 20th at St
Leonard's to bring these things to God.
Inevitably at this time of year we all start to wonder about our Christmas
plans, and it can be a difficult time of year for those of us who are lonely,
bereaved, sick, sad or disappointed. The Church's preparation for
Christmas, the season of Advent, is a time of looking forward in hope and
anticipation to the promise of new life in the birth of Jesus. I hope this
season of Remembrance will be a blessing to us all as we spiritually refresh
ourselves by allowing God to share our burdens of sorrow, making space
in our hearts for the new things He has promised.
Yours in Christ,
Andrew

Editorial Jottings
You have probably noticed that the magazine is a little slimmer than usual.
I have only received contributions to fill 24pages this month – so 24 pages
it is. I could have added more photographs and adverts but colour pages
cost us seven pence per page at present, a figure to terrify any editor –
worse if you are churchwarden as well! The standing committee is currently
considering new contracts for the printer which will bring our costs down
substantially but in the meantime, I could not justify an extra four pages of
colour this month. Happily there are lots of details about events in another
busy month ahead – diaries at the ready as you read this edition of the
magazine.
What I need are more articles – if you have something to say please share
it with us via the parish magazine. I look forward to being inundated with
your contributions! The deadline for the December magazine will be Friday
November 18th.

th
Sunday 6 Nov - St Leonard The success of last year’s St Leonard’s
Eve party suggests we should celebrate
our patronal festival this year. However,
there is a clash this year with November 5th
which occurs on a Saturday; St Leonard’s
Day falls on Sunday: so we have a St
Leonard’s day party this year, and repeat
our invitation to all who help to treasure St
Leonard’s church – the format for this year
being an afternoon tea party. A visiting
choir from St Albans will join us for the
choral services today.
Sunday 13th Nov - Remembrance Sunday.
The parish will participate in the town’s civic
Remembrance services.
Sunday 20th. Nov - Christ the King.
Parish Communion with Prayers for
Healing and Wholeness. This day brings
an end to Remembrance-tide, as the
Prayers for Healing and Wholeness give
an opportunity to commit our
remembrances to God as we turn our eyes
to the future with the hope of Advent.
Sunday Nov 27th - 1st Sunday of Advent

WORSHIP MATTERS – Paying attention.
I’ve written before about our worship not being a passive experience. To
get the most out of Sunday worship, we need to pay attention, and to
participate. Our participation is not just by saying the words printed in bold,
and singing hymns. We participate by using our whole selves, mind body
and spirit, and we bring our whole lives before God on a Sunday. This is
particularly obvious during our prayers of intercession, when we silently
weave our own prayers into the spoken petitions of the prayer-leader.
But paying attention like that is hard work. To concentrate, to fully engage
our whole selves with a group of others for over an hour, requires quite a
lot of effort, and practice.
Attention is an important Christian discipline, a form of prayer in itself. The
word obviously comes from a Latin root through modern Italian and French
verbs like attendere / attendre, and of course it means “to wait.” Attention
means waiting. This gives us a clue that a large part of prayer, and life itself,
is about waiting. Our prayers are answered, but God often seems to
respond in His time, not ours, and so we must wait – and be attentive,
watching carefully for what God sends us, which may not be what we
thought we were looking for. In prayer, in our conversations with God, we
must be careful to allow just as much time (if not more) to listen to God as
well as speaking to Him.
We are full of distractions, and we often hear only noise. This is true even
when the world around us is quiet or empty, because we can all generate
plenty of noise inside our own heads. This is what makes attention hard
work, and it has been a concern of Christians ever since our ancestors in
faith started writing about prayer and the spiritual life. So our traditions are
rich in wisdom and experience about how to deal with attentiveness, and
we have a great deal of testimony about how enriching to all of life it can
be to learn to pay attention better.
In our parish, we have a regular Julian Group meeting, which fosters the
teaching and practice of contemplative prayer and meditation in the
Christian tradition. This can be a huge help to our attentiveness, and the
spinoff benefits to all of life are well-documented. It’s a mistake to think that
this kind of prayer is for mystics only, and it’s a mistake, too, to think that
it’s only the Eastern religions that encourage it. As the recent boom in
interest in “mindfulness” shows, people of all temperaments and in all walks
of life are coming to understand the benefits.
9
And if you think the Julian Group is not your thing, take some time to
explore the many other ways in which we can learn to improve our
attentiveness. You might find it’s just the thing to enrich your life of
discipleship, and many other aspects of life, too.

Parish Prayers
For the last two months we have been meeting every Saturday morning to
pray for our parish and for our world. We start with brief opening prayers.
This is followed by a time of silent or open prayer and we conclude with the
Lord’s Prayer and the Grace.
There is no leader, as such. The formal prayers are printed on a sheet and
can be read by any member of the group. So far, someone has felt moved
to pick up the sheet every week!
Meetings are held at St Leonard’s, in St Katherine’s Chapel. On 8 October,
we met at Holy Cross and we plan to make this a regular venue on the
second Saturday of the month, whilst continuing at St Leonard’s on the
other Saturdays We hope also to meet at St Michael’s Methodist and
Anglican Church Centre. Watch the weekly news sheet for details!
Membership fluctuates according to individual commitments, but every
week two or three – and usually many more – have been ‘gathered together
in my name.’ The group is a completely open one with no compulsion to
attend every week.
Prayer is the centre of our Christian life and it is very encouraging that this
new initiative has got off to such a good start and looks to be something
that will continue for a long time to come.
David Harries
Advent House Groups
Believe it or not, as you are reading this, preparations are under way for
Advent, that beautiful season of preparation for Christmas beginning on
Advent Sunday 27th November.
Advent derives from the Latin verb ‘to come’ and we know that what is
coming is Christmas and who is coming is Jesus. So why bother to mark
Advent? There are several themes running through this season; waiting,
darkness turning to light, the promise God is fulfilling in sending His Son
into the world, the Messiah for whom the Israelites had been waiting and
10
longing. There is the theme of repentance too, which just means
recognising in ourselves the ways in which we do not deserve this gift of
Love.
This season can be like a backdrop to all the busyness of our Christmas
preparations; like a silent presence reminding us of what it is really all
about, which is one of the reasons which I called it a ‘beautiful’ season.
As a fitting addition to the themes of our worship during Advent, we are
asking you if you would like to be a part of a weekly group meeting on 4
occasions to study the readings which we shall have heard on Sunday;
they all help us to understand what the arrival of Jesus into the world
means, historically, theologically and for our faith. They will be in afternoons
and early evenings on Wednesdays and Thursdays; just a desire to learn
more is needed.
A signup notice will be in church from Sunday 30th October.
Lou
Advent Quiet Day
This year’s Advent quiet day will be held on Saturday 10 December in St
Leonard’s. Last year’s event was a great success, with many people
attending for an afternoon of prayer, contemplation and learning. Everyone
appreciated a few hours of silence and stillness in the hectic run-up to
Christmas.
This year’s quiet day will follow a similar pattern, with four ‘stations’ around
the church. Lou Seear will focus on The Written Word, beside the font.
Nettie Wren offers Four Treasures outside the Calvary Chapel (what are
they? Come and find out!) Barbara Wallace will teach us how to walk a
labyrinth in St Edmund’s Chapel and Andrew Spence will give an
introduction to Christian meditation in the choir vestry.
The stations will be open from 2pm. There will be a break between 3-4 for
tea and cakes followed by prayers and a short address. The stations
resume at 4pm until 4.45pm when the afternoon will close with a service of
Compline.
Turn up any time in the afternoon, choose whatever activity appeals to you
and stay as long or as short a time as you wish.
The only exception to this is the two sessions on Christian meditation
which, because of the need for a period of silence, will start promptly at
2.10pm and 4pm. Come and spend a blessed and peaceful afternoon!

Lights of Love
30 October-20 November
If you can’t be at the service in St Leonard’s on Sunday 30th
October at 3pm, there is plenty of time to visit and hang up
your candle, since the display will be in place until 20 th
November.
Anybody who would like to see, have time to think, pray,
write some words on their candle for the Remembrance book – can come
during that time. The Remembrance book is put on the Calvary Chapel
altar, in St Leonard’s, for a year.
This lovely annual event is for all who have lost and loved, and passes
funding to our local Pilgrims’ Hospice and Macmillan Nurses. Last Advent
the ‘Lights of Love’ tree in St Leonards was a focus to help folk approach
Christmas. Many who have suffered bereavement over the past year are
personally invited to the service and many more revisit both the service and
the display afterwards, to help them reflect. People from Meeting Point and
the Healing Team will be present together with bereavement counsellors.
After the service, the candle display will remain for three weeks – during
which time our wonderful poppy displays will also be on show following
Remembrance Sunday.
All are welcome, from any church or none. Do drop in.

The aim was to create an event which
would bring the community into the
church and which would not be a fundraising event, but something which would
unite the community in the parish church.
So many of our Hythe community paint,
pot, quilt, sew, knit etc. so an Arts & Crafts
weekend gave the opportunity for the
town to show off what we do, professionally and for fun.
What happened has left us very few organisers with a mix of feelings
ranging from shocked to angry to ecstatic fulfilment.
Some forty individuals and organisations exhibited over the weekend and
an amazing array of goods was also available for sale. A bar and cafe were
also features of the event.
Bands entertained, including our own
Andrew assisting on percussion.
Handbell ringers from Saltwood entertained
New church bell ringers were recruited.
The local schools made fish to go with the harvest concept and with being
made "Fishers of Men" for which a simple gospel song was also composed
and used at Hythe Bay School.
13
The planning proved so
popular that we started
turning down potential
exhibitors over three
weeks before the event as
we had no more space.
The picture opposite is
just a snapshot of an
instant during one
afternoon. How could I
pick out one artist,
spinner, quilter, framer,
silversmith, woodworker,
chocolatier or
photographer, to list but a few? Please look at the church website to see
the wide range of pictures.The website will not show the individual
amazing paintings or icons - you needed to be there to see them.
The crowds came in. At least 3,500 on Saturday and 1,500 on Sunday. A
tiny, tiny number of people made this work. To them, the church and the
town owe a huge debt of gratitude.
Will there be another? ... The immediate response is the same after a first
birth - never again! Those who attended know what this achieved; it was
incredible. Those who did not attend have no concept of the effect of the
event in the community and the outreach achieved as a church.
Where this goes next depends on visionaries with a strong commitment to
community mission. Sean McNally

PARISH POT-POURRI
MIKE UMBERS
Christmas present solutions!
Once again, Mike Umbers comes to the rescue with a suggestion: Parish
Pot-Pourri is an edited selection taken from his articles published in the
Parish Review over nearly twenty years. Weighty thoughts, lightly written!
Available mid-November, £6 from the Parish Office, profits to the Friends.
[A few copies of About St Leonard’s are also unsold]
Addition to the library
Seamless - a Bible study course. On a recent trip to USA to stay with our
family I found this book which my daughter was studying in her bible study
group. As they were on week 4 I had some catching up to do!
The author is not a theologian and she came to the Lord through the loss
of her baby daughter. The book is aimed at women and her style is chatty,
American chatty, which some may find difficult but her message is clear.
She follows through the Bible identifying a seamless story from Genesis to
Revelation, asking questions to help the reader identify their own Christian
journey. The maps and visual aids are relevant and helpful. I enjoyed this
course and I hope you will find something new in it for yourself; it is in the
church library.

Shame
The arrival of November brings home to me, and possibly to you as well,
that Christmas and the New Year are on the close horizon. The inference
here, so far as my colourful Biblical Trees are concerned, is that I have
almost run out of such as remain, if any, to be discovered! However, there
is one I have reserved for the Christmas issue (no prize for guessing) but
for November the space needs to be filled.
Actually, there really is no candidate in the whole of the Bible except one –
the tree is not named except by inference, but the text to which I refer
suggests that it was a tree by the name ultimately assigned to it - “Cercis”,
commonly called the Judas Tree. It was he, not the tree, who betrayed
Jesus by accepting 30 silver coins from the chief priests and elders for
information to accelerate the condemnation of Jesus. Judas repented of
what he had done to his “friend” and master and hanged himself
presumably from a tree (Matthew 27 vs 1-9).
That tree, now found quite commonly, carries the stigma that it was the
Cercis, but no one can be sure. It can live and grow to a good height and
is found in parks and gardens in Southern England, Southern Europe and
Eastern Asia. There is a specimen in the garden of the Mill off Station
Road, visible from several places. Enjoy the tree if you can discover one,
or plant one in your own garden. Meanwhile the beautiful leaves which are
discarded in autumn have done their best to beautify the countryside.
Worthy of admiration even if the original parent tree was used for wrong
purposes.
Post-script: I visited Kew Gardens recently and came face to face (or trunk
to trunk) with our beautiful friend GINKGO, a very special one, the first to
be planted in England, 1722. Have you admired “ours” in Oaklands?
