From the Manse
Dear friends,
I have just returned from my holiday on the island of Sark. This year my brother
David and Mary were celebrating their ruby wedding anniversary. We had 63
family and friends gather on this little island to celebrate with food and
song and dancing. Sark has no cars. It is an island of Peace, an island that
lives at a gentle pace of life. It is hard returning to the hurly-burly and
bustle of life back here on "the mainland"!
I return to find the country gripped by Olympic fever. What a splendid event
the Olympic Games is. The Olympic symbol with its five interlocking rings
says it all. The five continents of the world interlinked. This shows how
the world should be. For the games, politics is pushed aside. The athletes
describe the joy of simply being there, of being part of the international
festival. Here every nation is represented, every nation participates.
The games produce new heroes, those outstanding performances where athletes
triumph against the odds. Then the whole world applauds. Everyone recognises
a superb performance.
By the time you read this the games will be over. It will be back to "normal"
life. Back to seeing the violence of the world flashed onto our T.V. screens
night after night. The Olympic Games makes a statement that it doesn't have
to be that way. It is possible for the world to work together in harmony.
That it is time the world grew up and threw away their guns and started working
together…..
August is a popular month for weddings. Here in Ashbourne we have celebrated
Eric and Marianne Matthew's Golden Wedding, Sigrid and Stuart Mustow, and
Ruth and John Perkins Ruby weddings. Congratulations to them and God's Blessing
for many more happy years together.
The symbol of marriage is a pair of interlocking rings, two people coming
together as one. These celebrations show the joy that marriage brings, love
and faithfulness, the joy of family. These are the blessings God gives to
us.
The bible upholds marriage as God's chosen way for family life, for children
to be raised in security and love. In the New Testament the Christian faith
upholds the coming together of people from different backgrounds, different
cultures as one body, as one people under God. God's way is the way of Peace
and harmony, of working together, of making those links that bind us together
as one.
In Christ there is no east or west,
In him no south or north,
But one great fellowship of love
Throughout the whole wide earth.
In him shall true hearts everywhere
Their high communion find.
His service is the golden cord
Close-binding all mankind.
John Oxenham HP758
God Bless,
Chris
A Letter from our District Chair
'I write to thank those people who had any part at all in helping at the recent
Methodist Conference. Many people came to me and said how splendidly the whole
event had been organised, stewarded and generally looked after and they were
fulsome in their praise of the people who came so faithfully to look after
them. It was said that nothing had been too much trouble and everyone had
been so friendly and genuinely helpful.
'I know that the President, Revd. Will Morrey has written a letter to the
District, but I wish to pass on to each Circuit involved my own thanks for
this splendid work that everyone did. It makes a huge difference to Conference
when things run smoothly and you are the people who enabled that huge difference
to happen. Thank you for the work that was seen and the work that was unseen.
It was really very much appreciated and I was and continue to be proud of
the people of this District in all the things that they do and the sacrifices
they make for the Church.'
Please pass on my sincere thanks to all those in your Circuit who were involved.
Ever yours
'Wes Blakey'

· All people were valued and not judged by skin colour, gender, marital
status or differentness.
· People with learning disabilities were celebrated for what they could
contribute to life.

A Prayer
Loving God,
Whose hands hold all creation like a cradle,
Hold us in your love this day.
May your hands protect and guide us.
May your hands strengthen and enfold us,
That we may become your hands
Holding others with your love,
Knowing that you will never let us go.
JMA Prayer
Mooiplaas
Thank you to everybody for praying for us over the time that we were away,
it was very much appreciated. We had a great time when we were out there and
met a lot of really nice people. Danny spent most of the time in Mzwini Public
School (primary) while Teresa did banner making with a church group in Nyaha.
To find out more about our experience, join us any time between 7pm and 9pm
on Monday 6th September in the Century Hall. Refreshments will be provided
and there will be no charge. We have also brought back some beads which will
be on sale on this evening. Thanks again for your support.

JMA (Junior Mission for All)
thoughts for all ages
Coconuts are found in all parts of the tropical world - Pacific Islands, Southern
Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. Every single part of the plant
and its fruit can be used, providing for almost all human physical needs:
food, shelter, health and comfort. (As those at our Surfing South Pacific
JMA event found out when Val showed us lots of coconut products from Tonga).
Like the coconut tree, God too is to be found all over the world and provides
for all our needs. All our needs can be met because God has created - and
continually recreates - the world in such a way that it provides everything
that we require.
We take part in this divine process of providing for the needs of all people,
by using the earth's resources wisely and ensuring there is a just sharing
of food, shelter, health and comfort for all people. We do this out of our
love, which is God's love, through gifts of love.
Suggested readings to accompany these thoughts: Psalm 148 - Let everything
praise the Lord. John 6:3-13 - Feeding the 5,000, sharing for the good of
all. Revelation 22: 1-2 The trees for the healing of the nations. Matthew
6: 26-34 - See how the flowers are clothed and the birds fed, how much more
will God provide for us. Psalm 139 - Lord, you know me through and through,
you lead me and care for me.
DIARY DATE: JMA & MISSION SERVICE.
Sunday 24th October,10.30 am. Ashbourne Methodist Church, with our special
JMA guest, Steve Pearce, from Methodist House, London.
Anyone interested in JMA please take a leaflet and see the JMA noticeboard
in the passageway near the church kitchen and speak to Ruth Mallard.

Operation Christmas Child
There is to be a presentation evening in relation to the annual shoe box appeal
when the local (Derbyshire) representative for the charity, Samaritans Purse,
will tell us a little about how the project is organised, and will show slides
of some of the children opening their boxes last Christmas. Jane (Simmonds)
is keen to meet some of the people in this area who are already involved,
and hopefully encourage others to take part.
The evening will be on Monday 20th September at Hurtswood, Sandybrook. The
presentation will start at 7.30 pm, but refreshments will be available from
7 pm. This is an open invitation - there is no charge for the evening. This
is a chance for us to learn more about the appeal, and an opportunity to ask
questions. If you would like to join us it would be helpful if you could ring
Betty Hadley.

Methodist Conference 2004 - Loughborough
DIGEST OF ITEMS DISCUSSED
CONNEXIONAL PLANS AND FINANCE
Budgets were adopted meaning District levies are to increase between 0.49%
and 5%, the previous year had seen lower income than forecast but overall
reserves remained slightly over £100m.
The connexional team put its fourth annual development plan forward with 'Our
Calling' firmly at the centre. Emphasis is on the connexional team assisting
the church in mission with extra emphasis on youth.
A new plan for 2005-08 is to be brought to the next conference which will
capture the growing confidence of the church to be bold and to take risks,
but will be based on prayer, supporting community development especially amongst
the poor, developing confidence in evangelism, fresh ways of being church,
being people centred and flexible.
ECUMENICAL MATTERS
Church, state and partnership, is a report working alongside the implementation
of the covenant, a task group is to be established to identify the degree
of convergence of denominational central services and what financial benefits
this may bring.

- i.e. Church Council/Circuit meetings/synods.
Reports from residential schools were received

oversight tutors were all discussed as were the subjects of employment rights,
formal supervision, grievance procedures for presbyters and deacons.

Young Peoples Update
On 5th September our children and young people will be going into new classes.
We have decided to change the materials and resources we use to teach them.
We have chosen the Scripture Union resources that have recently gone through
new changes too. Below are the classes and new names that we will be adopting
for each age group.
3's - 5's Bubbles Led by: Sandra Lewer and Becky Dutton
5's - 7's Splash Sandra Lewer and Becky Dutton
7's - 11's Xstream Sandra Lewer, Nigel Marsh, Peter Dawson and Christine Evans
11's - 17's The Grid Roger and Ruth Mallard (11's - 14's)
Tracy Dawson, Mark Lewis, Roger Denny and John Hurfurt (14's plus)
In September we will be asking the young people to choose an name to include
every group from the crèche to The Grid. A competition will be running
and we look forward to seeing what names they come up with! They will then
feel that they 'own' the name and group they belong to. Please encourage everyone
to take part!
The new material looks exciting and is up to date with the way our children
and young people learn. Each week they will receive a leaflet that is also
in keeping with the theme we have been learning about. We are all looking
forward to using the material and teaching our young people.
We value your prayers as we all work together to make the Gospel exciting
and relevant to our children and young people.

One World Group Harvest Collection
The Ashbourne One World Group is again holding a Harvest collection of dried
foodstuffs for Eastern Europe. As last year our goods will be taken to Belarus
by Mrs Ann Rimmer of Cubley who will again be driving a truck there in October.
The foodstuffs we are collecting are: Plain Flour; Rice; Pasta; Pulses; Sugar;
Salt; Tea; Dried fruit in packets (not tins or jars please because of the
weight) Meat and milk products cannot be imported into Belarus at the moment.
This means that dried milk cannot be accepted.
Because of Belarussian import restrictions may we ask that all foods have
a "best before date" of not less than six months from the date of
Ann's arrival in Belarus so 1st May 2004 or later if possible.
As usual it costs money to transport the goods to Belarus and so monetary
donations would be very acceptable.
We need to receive all the goods by Friday 1st October. To arrange delivery
or collection please phone John Hurfurt.

Field for Fun required
I am seeking the use of a field for a summer camp (for 2005), to be located
within the southern Peak District. The reason being as I have been approached
by the Guild of Baptist Campers (GBC), with whom my family have had many years
of involvement, who are searching for suitable future venues for their camps.
Their requirements are fairly basic and I have briefly listed what they would
be looking for in a site.
· A fairly level field
· Room for up to 15 large tents and 12 small tents, some trailer tents
too
· Sometime within 2 weeks of schools breaking up for summer holidays
· A water tap and somewhere to dispose of chemical toilets contents
· Access for cars without too much 'off road'!
· Preferably option for an undercover area e.g. barn for morning prayers,
if very wet
· Permission for a main campfire for songs in evenings and a BBQ
· Provision to freeze ice packs
The GBC have been an active group for over thirty years with a lot of camping
experience. They would very much love to re-visit this part of the country,
as it has been some years since they last came.
If anyone knows of a willing farmer that I can get in touch with please see
me in church or phone. Thanks
Helen Thorburn
Youth Alpha
In January 2005, we are hoping to run an Alpha Course for our young people
in years 8 and 9 (12-14 years of age). This will run from 9th January to 20th
March and will be on a Sunday morning from 10.15 - 12noon. Please pray for
this group and for the help we need. Below are jobs we need filling - if you
can help in any way, please speak to Becky Dutton. Unfortunately, if we are
unable to get help, the Alpha course won't take place.
PRAYERS: We need everyone to pray for all our young people, from the youngest
group to the oldest (0-18 years!), and especially for those doing the Alpha
Course. Pray that through the teaching, they may find Christ and they too
will then share the Good News with others.
2 LEADERS: To share the lead each Sunday for 10 consecutive weeks (materials
provided)
REFRESHMENTS: A team or rota to make tea, coffee or juice and to bring biscuits
or donuts before Alpha (10-10.30am). Also, someone to coordinate the rota.

Vote for Trade Justice
Get ready for a new stage in the Trade Justice campaign. MAYC World Action
and other organisations will be asking campaigners to cast a vote for trade
justice, and to collect as many votes as possible - in town centres, churches,
colleges and workplaces - wherever...
Come to the seaside - take the call for trade justice to Brighton this September!
Help us put trade justice in the news in a way that has never been done before
by joining thousands of campaigners in Brighton on Sunday September 26th 2004
- the opening day of the Labour Party conference, the UK's governing party.
This public launch of Vote for Trade Justice will include international speakers
and celebrities, and a host of other activities including a church service
for inspiration and reflection. It will culminate in a mass "Ballot on
the Beach". We will be asking Ministers and MP's to cast their votes
too. In Ashbourne, we will be collecting votes to keep the pressure on the
government to review the trade rules
This is a crucial opportunity to build momentum for trade justice in the run
up to 2005, when the UK will host the G8 summit of industrialised countries,
and hold the presidency of the EU (from July to Dec 2005). The UK will be
in a unique and powerful position to take action for trade justice.
But the campaigning doesn't stop there! We need to keep collecting votes through
the rest of 2004 and 2005 to create a huge tide of pressure for trade justice,
and in April 2005, we will be joining millions of others around the world
in the "People's Week of Global Action for Trade Justice". www.april2005.org
