hardly worth the mention; well teams VALLEY
are all different.
OUZEL VALLEY
We all owe the team here in OUZEL VALLEY - huge thanks. For
example, my post was agreed to enable pioneer ministry and that has
led to a seventh Church in the
team. VALLEY
In turn, the ongoing commitment
OUZEL
to that ministry by the fundingOUZEL
from AllVALLEY
Saints and the prayers,
support and encouragement of everyone has enabled the continuing
development. Added to the huge blessings from God and the hard
work and commitment of all at Good Shepherd, we can all see how
potent being together with God can be.
Canon Grant and the Clergy team welcomed me in and we meet,
pray, eat and chat together regularly, again, like the team that Jesus
put together. This is just the kind of model of together we all need.
The Church has various pictures associated with it; family, body,
indeed the reality of “Church” itself, the people of God supporting
each other.
I was a goalkeeper [honestly!] in my younger days, as well as a
second row at rugby, not at the same time, you understand. In each I
had a designated role, ironically the one time I played outfield at
Football I scored 4 Goals and the one time out of the scrum, a try.
However I was soon back playing my part in our team. I, like others,
made mistakes, we all do, but the best teams support each other, if I
let in a “Soft” goal I’d get mouthful and then we’d all get on with
it….Together.
Teams change, grow, develop; something that doesn’t is probably
dead. Likewise Churches, we may imagine, sometimes that little has
changed over the years but look; new books, new people, sadly
some old friends gone, new Clergy, new ways, the list goes on.
Sometimes some changes are difficult to come to terms with, look at
Jesus and the ways that both his team and others struggled to come
to terms with some of both his words and his ways.
A good friend reminded me the other day that it’s not about what an
individual might see as best for them nor even a Church, rather how
being God’s team is about the whole picture, that’s to say what Jesus
calls “The Kingdom”. We are together part of the Kingdom team,
followers of the true King. To help us God gives us both the example
of Jesus and the empowering of His Holy Spirit. However it is still for
us together to overcome our mistakes and differences, with His help.
This means humility, often very difficult; at rugby we might be playing
a different team but it often felt like it was our forwards against our
backs, even before the match had started.
In the Acts of the Apostles the early Church was highly noted by
outsiders by the love that they had one for another; this was so
attractive that thousands more joined. We as a team are welcoming
new people to our Churches often and It’s a delight to see them stay
and grow in faith. When I arrived here I knew no-one, Clergy and
Laity alike showed me kindness and support and I could see the love
of God in them. Canon Grant was, and is, very understanding of the
flexibility that is needed in many pioneer settings, so much so that we
are now sighted in the Diocese as a “Flagship” of how to do it. That
could not have happened without team at the heart.
What then, you may ask, has this to do with me? Well you too are
part of THE OUZEL VALLEY TEAM MINISTRY, we all are. Yes, you
are part of your Church, and thank you for all you do as part. We also
have the opportunity to accept the realities of many recent changes
and together make the best team we can. My experiences in
35+years of Church is that where people look at the bigger picture
they experience bother a Bigger God and a bigger blessing. We can
look at minutiae, wish things were “As they were” and get bogged
down or like the early Church we can Show that we are Christians by
our love”, which may involve some sacrifice; saying sorry; being
flexible and, perhaps most of all, being as generous to others as
Canon Grant, all the Clergy and ALL OF YOU have been to me since
I joined “THE TEAM” here 3 ½ years ago.
Let’s all play for the same team, the OUZEL VALLEY TEAM, let’s not
fight or argue but rather let’s; help, support, encourage, forgive and
enable.
My Dad died a few years ago, he was fascinated the one of my Titles
was “Enabler”, imagine if everyone in the team was an enabler, all
helping all for the best for all, Jesus may have said it differently, but
you and I both know , in our hearts, that’s what he longs for. It’s an
honour to serve you in OUR team.
And the odds of that happening are…?
It was Saturday and my son, Adrian, and I were on our way to see a
Chelsea football match. As the train filled up, a man sat down next to
me. I paid no attention. But my son, sitting opposite, was curious to
know why this stranger, in between studying his iphone, kept taking
side-long glances at me.
Eventually the man turned to me and asked ‘Are you Russell
Stannard?’ I said that I was. He then showed me his iphone. It
displayed the webpage one gets when Googling the name ‘Russell
Stannard’.
Google knows of only two Russell Stannards on the internet.
Coincidentally the other one is in the same line of business as myself:
university academic, maker of videos, writer of books. Indeed, in the
past I have received a royalty cheque for a book I didn’t remember
writing. The publisher had got hold of the wrong Russell Stannard (I
hasten to say I returned the cheque to the publisher pointing out their
mistake.) On this webpage there is a photo of me and one of my
namesake.
The man on the train pointed to the photo of me and said, ‘So that is
you, right?’ I said yes. Whereupon, he pointed to other photo and said
‘And that is me. I’m the other Russell Stannard’. We were both
flabbergasted. Google scours the world for Russell Stannards, but
here we were, the only two, sitting next to each other! Not only that,
but he got on the train at Harrow, and I used to live in Harrow. And he
too was a Chelsea supporter on his way to the same match. Now
what are the chances of all this happening?
Needless to say, having established contact with my clone, we intend
to keep in touch. It was clearly meant to be.
Russell Stannard (one of them)

Monkeys and trees in Church
Dear St Barnabas church Linslade. Christmas tree Festival 2014.
Thank you for inviting us! It was an amazing day. Thank you for all
the lovely things. I want to say thank you for the beautiful monkey
and the lucky dip. From Vivien,
Dear Mrs Birch
Thank you very much for letting us into your beautiful Church and
making us feel very welcome. I enjoyed it when Santa came and
gave us the cosy monkey teddy (which I use to sleep with me).
Particularly enjoyed the lucky dip and the present I got from it. Overall
I enjoyed the singing, also I was interested in the story of the man
whose daughter passed away at the age of sixteen. I really enjoyed it
and I hope we can visit another time. Kaif and Elouise
Dear Mrs Birch,
Thank you so much for letting us come to your magnificent, fantastic
church. I had an amazing time. My best part was when Santa Claus
came and gave us that cute, adorable monkey and I loved it when we
did that lucky dip! I still play with it now!! Thank you, Kind regards,
Sarah and Rachel.
To church members.
Thank you so much for letting us come to your lovely beautiful
church! Can you please tell Santa thanks for the little monkey, it’s so
soft! It was a very lovely church, very WE ALL LOVED IT!
Thank you Kind regards Korina Cambridge THANK YOU

Sunday 18th January 10 am Family Eucharist Service
Our second family service with the ‘moveable’ altar was held, with a
few ‘tweaks’ following the service in November. This time the choir
were in the front rows and as our Church organ is under repair we
were regaled by the music from the electric organ played by Richard
Watts.
The younger children re-enacted a story from 1 Samuel 3;1 -10 well
read by Reece and the voice of God was beautifully intoned by Fr
Bernard with the help of the microphone. Audience participation is a
must on these occasions, and we were finished by 11 am!
Christmas Day in the trenches by Kate Crooks
After the recent interest in the Christmas Day truce of 1914, I was
fascinated to find a story in the Leighton Buzzard Observer (5
January 1915) concerning one of the men on the St Barnabas War
Memorial, Reginald Cornish. The article quotes extensively from a
letter received by Edward Kiteley of 1 Bassett Road from Private
Cornish. At the time Cornish, a former draper’s apprentice and the
son of a tailor was 19 and Kiteley, a printer, was 21.
The letter was written on Boxing Day afternoon. Cornish describes
his Christmas presents from the King and Queen and Princess Mary,
mostly tobacco and cigarettes, and is pleased to have received
several parcels from home. He says something of where he and his
comrades in the Queen’s Westminster Riffles have been billeted and
their movements in and out of the trenches.
He goes on; “Next morning (Tuesday) we were up at 4 am and back
in the trenches by 5 o’clock. Wednesday was fairly quiet and about 5
pm on Thursday our thoughts turned back to home and Christmas
Eve, and we started singing a few carols. This seemed to cheer the
Germans up, as they started singing back, and shouting to us “A
Merry Christmas!” Not a shot was fired by them or by us all night,
and it seemed as if the war had almost finished. Next day, Christmas
Day, we had a short service in the trench, and after that we started
going out halfway to meet the Germans. In less than half an hour we
were busily talking to them, and found they were quite longing for the
war to cease. They asked us not to fire all day, and they would not
fire. In the meantime we exchanged cigarettes and tobacco, and I
also managed to get several buttons and cap badges. Two Germans
with whom I happened to get into conversation were quite decent
class fellows, and a cut above the others. They were brothers in the
107th Saxons, and as reservists were called up in September.
One had a ticket for London with him, and told us he was just coming
to London for a holiday when he was called up. On leaving them,
they handed us cigars and said they were personally very sorry
indeed to have to fight against us. The rest of the regiment were of
rather a lower class and looked as if a good feed would do them
good. Taking them all round they were of medium age and rather
well built. One fellow had an Iron Cross which he kept in his purse.
Their “Jack boots” made us envious; they are just the things we want.
After spending half an hour playing footer at the back of the trench,
we strolled round looking for shell cases. We were not long coming
across about a dozen, and several of our fellows found the time fuses
as well. Some of the holes made by the shells were about four feet
deep and at least ten feet in diameter.
I do not know whether we should have started firing again tonight, but
now that we are out of the trenches I do not worry about it. We may
possibly be sent off to relieve some regiment tonight, but we are
hoping to stop here for the night as our feet are dry, and we stand a
good chance of getting some sleep.”
The LBO mentions Rifleman Cornish again in March 1915 when he
had “spent a few days at home to recover from wounds”. He was
killed in action on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the
Somme.
