This Month
Lenten Lines... It seems as though everyone I bump into at the shops or in the school playground mentions how fast the year is going! It feels like only a week or so ago we were singing Auld Lang Syne (does anyone actually know the words??) and wishing each other a Happy New Year. I wonder how many of us have already let our well-intended resolutions slip. I know that I for one have failed to eat healthily and exercise every day, although I find that opening another packet of biscuits helps me come to terms with my shortcomings…
If you are not already a member of a Home Group, I would urge you to investigate. But wait! Lent is here, and with it another chance to chuck the chocolate and skip the sweets. I read that former MP and committed Christian Ann Widdicombe gives up her daily cappuccinos and drinks only water. As a fellow coffee addict, this seriously impressed me. I'm usually first in the coffee queue after the service, elbowing small children out of the way to get my fix! I love the post-service coffee slot; it's a great chance to catch up with fellow Christians. Fellowship (and coffee) is also a reason why I

attend one of our church's Home Groups. There I find support and encouragement, as well as fellowship of course, and it is a real spiritual 'shot in the arm', a weekly opportunity to interact with like-minded others. John Wesley, founder of Methodism, was a great believer in small group study 'to bring small numbers of people together to pray, read the Bible and to encourage and enjoy each other's company.'
16 PCC Ponderings
In America, such groups are often called 'cell groups', the cell being the basic unit of life in the church body, or 'growth groups' where members can grow both spiritually and socially. How fortunate we are at St Christopher's to have a church that promotes such great fellowship!

If you are not already a member of a Home Group, I would urge you to investigate. We are so blessed to have such a wide range of groups which meet on different days and at different times; there is something to suit every schedule. I am sure that you will get so much more out of it than you thought possible - fellowship with God as you study His Word, and fellowship in support and encouragement from others on the same journey. Selwyn Hughes, the preacher and devotional writer, wrote of how 'The astonishing rise in our day of the 'group therapy movement' testifies to the need of
the human heart for fellowship…the world is waking up to the fact that we are made for fellowship'. So this Lent, rather than trying to give up chocolate yet again, why not take up 'spiritual sustenance' and join a Home Group? More satisfying than a Mars Bar, and certainly less calorific! For those of us who already attend, let's step out of our comfort zone and perhaps lead study topics or a prayer programme. There's nothing to lose, everything to gain and, you never know - we might just enjoy it!
Fund Raising News With plans afoot for a church room for use by the congregation of St Christopher’s, raising money will be very important over the next year or so. The fund raising committee here at Church has always found members of our Church to be generous with their time and donations; for our part we hope to provide some fun activities to be enjoyed and to encourage you to part with your money to boost our funds.
Sandy Milson
On Friday June 24th there will be an auction of goods and promises. Our auctioneer for the evening will be Chris Surfleet, who works with Adam Partridge. We would welcome offers of services and goods and promises from church members; if you can promise anything please let us know, we will of course be reminding you all over the next few months. This event proved to be an excellent fundraiser last time and we expect it to be even better this time. Perhaps you can offer a round of golf, a meal, ironing services, babysitting; the list is endless.
If you knit, sew, paint, do woodwork, photography or are a handyman, you have skills to sell. You may be able to offer boat trips, a stay in a caravan, a cottage holiday or you may have a piece of furniture you no longer want or a picture that needs a wall to Please book your table as soon as possible with display it. Have a think about what you can do to help and let any member of the fund raising Sandy Milsom, Mary Currell, Ivy Mosley or committee know. We will be very grateful. Madeline Punch. Raffle prizes and help with providing food for the buffet would be greatly We plan more events in the Autumn but for appreciated—please see the list at the back of now please support these next events. church.

Having personal contact with the congregation Sally is hugely beneficial to the church’s financial ministry and as many of you will know, our family are no longer regulars at St. Christopher’s – our teenagers have chosen the Christian Fellowship church in Poynton, so that is now where we worship. I am more than happy to carry on with the work but I don’t want the finances to be jeopardised simply because I am out of touch with the congregation, so I have a proposal to put to you: If anyone would like to help by being the personal contact at church who helps promote the use of either standing orders or the numbered boxes of giving envelopes, ensures there are sufficient visitor gift aid envelopes and who could be available to advise anyone wanting to start a system of regular giving, I will continue to do the background HotPott - March 2016

Sadly, this is not the norm! Giving good news is the easy part of my job, but as the market for antiques constantly changes, I have to give just as many negative valuations as positive. This can be hard as treasured heirlooms turn out to be worthless, but I do try hard to be sensitive when giving bad news.

It is also fair to say there are more characters than normal in the antiques world; plenty of Lovejoys and Tinkers for sure. But it is the welcome I receive on each and every one of my home visits that gives you faith in mankind. Always a hot drink, biscuit, and if I am really lucky, a slice of fresh cake waiting! Indeed, recently I spent five days visiting clients on The Wirral for whom we are selling over 3000 items, and every day I have been treated to home made soup, freshly baked bread and copious cups of tea!

you ever need the services of your local auctioneer! It should also be said that despite being an auctioneer and valuer for 24 years, I will never claim to be an expert in all areas of the business. Thankfully we have a team of consultants who cover areas I am not well versed in such as stamps, militaria, studio ceramics and contemporary art. Working with these experts in their fields also means I am still learning all the time, which is very important. So, I have visited dozens of clients, valued and catalogued around 2000 items, and the sale day has arrived. This is the point when we find
out how accurate I have been with my values, and hopefully for a lot of clients I am found to have been conservative with my estimates. I take to the rostrum with a cup of tea and several bananas to keep me going, introduce myself to the audience and greet the huge number of buyers we never meet from all over the world bidding live via the internet. We then start the marathon eight to ten hours of selling to collectors, shop owners, galleries, dealers and specialists from all over the globe. A day in the life of an auctioneer is certainly long, but with never a dull moment and I wouldn't change it for anything!
Guild Goings On The February meeting was well attended. Peter Frecknall gave a reading from the Bible and Georgina Wray led us in prayer.
ity does some wonderful work and we thank Peter for alerting us to the problems faced by some former military personnel.
Eileen Stratford Georgina then introduced our speaker, Mr Peter Aston. Peter told us of the work of the charity L.O.L. (Listening Out Loud), which supports homeless veterans to make the transition to civilian life after serving in the armed forces. The charity was founded by a former soldier and his mother; they work from Congleton and Bosley. L.O.L. look after and support, rehabilitate, supply counselling and find work for former military personnel who for various reasons find themselves on the streets and sleeping rough.

Murder in Adlington the aftermath The murder of William Wyatt sent shock waves, not only through Macclesfield and Cheshire, but up and down the country. Newspaper reports have been found in Preston, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and even Taunton, Somerset. Ann, his widow, was left with two small children: Martha, aged two and Richard, a few weeks old. It was decided to open a subscription fund for the family's benefit and also to reward those who assisted in capturing the two highwaymen. Donations were received from all over the country, and in total £1600 was raised (over £100,000 in today's money). £1000 was invested in trust for the widow and children of William and £400 for his brother, Thomas.
Smaller amounts were given to 30 men who were involved in the chase. Ann Wyatt later worked as a housekeeper for John Casey from Adlington and married him in 1853. She died in 1897. Meanwhile, what happened to the two highwaymen? William Bates paid the ultimate price and was executed in front of Chester's city gaol in April 1848. His colleague, John Mawdsley, although found guilty of murder, was reprieved and sentenced to transportation to Australia. We do not know what happened to him after his arrival in Australia - maybe one of his descendants came back to these shores in pursuit of cricket's "Ashes" or the Rugby World Cup!

St Patrick’s Day 17th March is widely celebrated as St Patrick’s Day, traditionally considered to be the date of the saint’s death. In modern times huge parades, the ‘wearing of the green’ including shamrocks and the consumption of copious amounts of Guinness are used to mark the occasion and to celebrate all things Irish in communities of Irish heritage in places as diverse as Montserrat, Japan, Canada, Russia, the USA, the International Space Station and of course Great Britain and Ireland. Originally (in the 1640s) green was the colour associated with the Irish Catholic Confederation but later it increasingly represented Irish nationalism as it was used by the ‘United Irishmen’, a republican organisation led mostly by Protestants but with many Catholic members, who launched a rebellion in 1798 against British rule. The phrase "wearing of the green" comes from a song of the same name, which laments United Irishmen supporters being persecuted for wearing green. However, Patrick is also revered as the man who brought Christianity to Ireland, allegedly using the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish. Traditionally he also drove all the snakes from Ireland; there is no evidence snakes were ever there and it is thought that the ‘snakes’ he banished were the pagans he converted or drove away!
Christian family. At the age of sixteen, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Gaelic Ireland where he spent six years working as a shepherd; during this time he converted to Christianity himself. Patrick’s writings say that God told him to flee to the coast, where a ship would be waiting to take him home; whilst there, Patrick became a priest then returned to Ireland to convert the pagan Irish to Christianity. Traditionally, Patrick sang a prayer when an ambush was laid by Loegaire, the Irish king, to prevent Patrick from evangelising; those lying in ambush then saw Patrick and his monks as wild deer with a fawn following them. This prayer has various names - ‘The Cry of the Deer’, ‘St Patrick’s Breastplate’ or the ‘Lorica of St. Patrick’, lorica being a shield associated with pagan gods. Although the prayer is now thought to date from the eighth rather than the fifth century, there is no doubt that St Patrick had faith in the saving power of Christ and in his abiding presence. We can share that same faith by putting on his ‘Breastplate' and it is helpful to look at the final verse of the hymn C. F. Alexander (of ‘There is a Green Hill’ fame) wrote based on ‘St Patrick’s Breastplate’.

PCC Ponderings The first PCC meeting of the new year took place on 26th January. There were fourteen members present. David Garton brought us up to date on progress in the search for a new vicar. Both he and Anne Murphy – as parish representatives – have met Bishop Libby Lane several times and are grateful for her input and support.

Christ in danger: In the storm itself; in the sinking of the disciple as he walked on the water. In the opposition of the enemy; in the besieged city; in betrayals. In sickness; in the ebbing out of life. The Risen Lord is there.
Christ in hearts of all that love me:
our lives not only to another person but to the great Other who is Christ. In our sharing together He comes. Let us release the Christ in each other.

Our mission is to remember that He is in others and to reveal His presence. 'I sought my God, my God I could not see. I sought my soul, my soul eluded me. I sought my brother and I found all three'.

Missionaries Matter Fazakerley family - Malawi After five months in temporary accommodation, Megumi and Helen Fazakerley are finally moving into a new house - one vacated by a couple retiring to Canada. It will be such a relief for them to be able to unpack their belongings which have been in storage for almost three years!
They have forgotten what they packed away, and are just hoping heat and vermin have not done any damage; they’re looking forward to opening the boxes and being surprised! The Evangelical Bible College of Malawi’s first semester finished on February 5th, and the next one starts on March 7th. Megumi will be very busy till then preparing for his new courses on New Testament Survey and Revelation, particularly in the light of his experiences with the current students. Although of very mixed abilities, they all passed their exams in the end. Megumi was very pleased with the class; the course was Page 24
one of the best things he has done in recent times.
Dr John Ryley Student evaluation of the course was encouraging. Abler students do a diploma course in English, while the less able do a simpler course in Chichewa; Megumi has had to encourage his students as they are looked down on by the diploma students who try to get library books off them, saying they don’t need them as they are ignorant and uneducated! Please pray for these students future pastors in the church of Malawi - that they may feel confident, secure and encouraged. Helen is still doing marriage counselling with a non-Christian couple. Another job under ‘member care’ is organising parties for missionaries when they leave - another family return to America in three weeks’ time. This time last year, many in the south of Malawi had lost their homes and crops due to terrible floods; 2016 started with a drought, but recent rains have meant maize crops are starting to grow. The missionary society SIM and some Africa Evangelical Church congregations are helping at least 400 families who are struggling as last year’s crop comes to an end and prices are rocketing; some fights over food have broken out! Please pray for the Fazakerley children. Mary has passed her driving test first time, but is currently out of work. She is preparing to resit some of her A level modules, but needs to find a meaningful job near home. Elizabeth and Joshua are OK.

McClean family - Thailand I’ve heard nothing from Johnny and Ann McClean, in spite of sending three emails trying to fix a date for them to visit us this summer; I guess they are so very, very busy and stretched in view of the huge university population in Bangkok. Pray for reinforcements for their team! They put out a one sentence prayer request on their blog every day. Today they are asking for prayer for one of the groups to grow and for strong relationships to develop within the group. Last week they mentioned a Chinese lady lecturer who is regularly studying the Bible with them; pray she may find faith in Jesus.

Smile-lines Beware of these contagious diseases in church: Frontophobia: A morbid fear of the front seats in church. The sufferer is struck by an attack just inside the church door, and collapses in the nearest back seat. Ear Frequency Destruction: Caused by sitting near the loudspeaker when the minister is singing full volume, off-key, etc., into the microphone. Accelerated Vocal Response: A condition which causes the sufferer to try to sing faster than the organ. Retarded Vocal Response: A condition which causes the sufferer to try to sing slower than the organ.
HotPott - March 2016
Sermonic Throat: A dreaded choking caused by the start of the sermon. The sufferer unwraps a sweet very slowly and noisily, which seems to effect a complete cure. Double Auricular Clearance: A condition due to the simultaneous opening of both ear canals, which allows sound to enter one ear and leave the other without any absorption thereof. Condition is acute during Bible reading and sermon. Theexits: A condition where the sufferer rushes for the exit before the minister gets there. Church Meeting Paralysis: This can strike suddenly, when a post in the church needs filling. A good dose of enthusiasm works wonders with this sad affliction.

The Persecuted Church It strikes me as very interesting that it has taken the Pope and the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church to highlight so forcibly by their recent meeting in Cuba the persecution of Christians in the Middle East. It seems that in this country our leaders of church and state are too frightened of causing offence to Muslims - the source of persecution in the Middle East - and of damaging the vast orders for military equipment which come from these countries. Of course the atrocities such as beheadings, crucifixions etc are carried out by radicalised extremists, but it should be noted that much suffering is caused by ordinary Muslims. Christians in refugee camps throughout Europe - including the one in Calais - are suffering at the hands of Muslim refugees in the camps, and even in this country persecution is a fact of life.
a fractured left kneecap and fractured bones in his left hand which required surgical treatment. This vicious act follows many years of harassment, intimidation, insults, physical abuse and attacks on his car, his property and his family members by the Muslim community who have sought to destroy him and his family. Earlier this year, false accusations resulted in him being locked in a police cell for 16 hours; his wife was also detained after false allegations were made. In all of this, he has been betrayed time and again by those who are there to protect; police, church leaders and political authorities have rigidly refused to concede that it is his status as a convert from Islam that has made him a target in the eyes of the Muslim community. Apparently none of them wanted to compromise their relationship with Muslims.
Dr John Ryley
Nissar Hussain, a British man of Pakistani descent who converted from Islam to Christianity was brutally beaten outside his home in Bradford on November 17th last and left with multiple fractures and severe bruising. The two attackers, their faces concealed, were waiting in a car outside Mr Hussain’s home and jumped out just as he left his house to move his car. They knocked him over with the shaft of a pickaxe and savagely beat him while he was on the ground. Terrified they would kill him, Mr Hussain covered his head with his arms to protect himself. “Thank God that He was watching my back,” he wrote to Barnabas Fund as he praised God that he was not hit on the head. Nevertheless the attack was brutal and left Mr Hussain with Page 28
“Thank God that He was watching my back” For over 20 years, Mr Hussain has complained to police about the persistent persecution that he, his wife, and their six children have endured since coming to faith in the Lord in 1996 yet the barrage of attacks has continued unabated. They have made their plight known to church leaders and political authorities, but to little effect. He has been advised to move house to a safe part of the country because his life and his family’s lives could be at risk. He said that, whilst he remained fully committed to Christ, he feels rejected by British Christians, by British police and by British institutions. He and his wife feel they can no longer go to

church because they feel that British Christianity no longer understands them or wants them. As converts they feel they have stood alone against all the odds. Barnabas Fund are trying to help. My attention was riveted by this extract from an e-mail from Open Doors, an organisation similar to Barnabas Fund which is seeking to help persecuted Christians worldwide: Open Doors has been standing alongside Christians in Niger following attacks on churches and the Christian community in January. The attacks were provoked by events thousands of miles away: Muslims, angry at the publication of cartoons by the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris, took their anger out on the entirely innocent Christian community in Niger. The ensuing rampage destroyed close to 80 of the country's churches and at least three Christians were killed; many Christian properties were destroyed, including 13 Christian schools or training centres, one missions centre and several Christian shops. 50 Christian homes were looted and burnt including about 18 pastors’ homes.

town in the extreme southeast of Niger, when a Boko Haram raiding party from Nigeria burned down his house. With only the clothes on his back, he was transferred to Niamey when once again he and his wife and children were forced to flee. Their lives were saved, but their home and church were destroyed. "I was just recovering from the attack in Diffa," he said, "my family is devastated, though this time around with less pressure. It is like I am getting used to these experiences." Cappo told Open Doors about the effect on his congregation: "Our members have been so traumatised... They are so scared of coming to church because they are not sure if the situation is under control. Their assumption is that these people could return to attack them." At the same time, the crisis has brought a surprising strength to some of his flock: "It is exciting to see some members making a stronger commitment to follow Jesus than before. Some have boldly declared that it is now that their Christianity has begun," Cappo explains. And their example has been noticed; many Muslims in Niger did not agree with the attacks on Christians. Some tried to put out the fires; others took fleeing Christians into their midst; yet others later came to apologise on behalf of Muslims in general. "My neighbour who used to behave harshly towards us came and pleaded with me not to be annoyed with him, since those who committed these acts were not true Muslims," said Pastor Cappo.
One of those affected was Pastor Cappo Chichi of the Nazarene Church in Niamey, the capital of Niger. Sadly, it was the second time in six months that he had lost everything. Six months earlier he had been serving in Diffa, a border HotPott - March 2016

Recipe Of The Month Dorothy Cake I learnt this recipe in Year 8 at school from my cookery teacher, Miss Kite
Gas mark 4 / 190°C
Its ingredients are an unusual combination and Method make a delicious, nourishing cake that has 1. Light oven, Grease cake tin (7” diameter and been a winner whenever I have baked it. 2” deep. A shallower 8” one would be fine too.)
Sheila Garton Miss Kite was very strict and traditional. No electric mixers for us—we used one hand, with our fingers slightly spread out, to cream the margarine and sugar. When that was done, she encouraged us to rub our hands together because the mix was good for them—like hand cream—but the sugar was very scratchy! If she caught you licking your fingers, she smacked your hands!
2. Quarter the cherries and walnuts; chop the chocolate into pieces of the same size. 3. Cream margarine and sugar. 4. Add flour, salt and eggs, alternately and bit by bit. 5. Add nuts, chocolate and cherries and mix with a wooden spoon. 6. Cook for approximately 45 minutes.
Miss Kite taught us many things, including recipes I still use now. However, she never told us who Dorothy was. Perhaps I could dedicate this to the Dorothys in our church— Dorothy Stewart and Dorothy Sharpley—if you like it of course! Happy baking, and enjoy. Ingredients 4 oz margarine 4 oz caster sugar 2 eggs pinch of salt 5 oz self-raising flour 2 oz glace cherries 2 oz chocolate 1 oz chopped walnuts

In 2010 a group from St Christopher’s went to Oberammergau in Bavaria to see the passion play; it was an amazing experience. Oberammergau is also famous for its wood carvers; this scene, which is extremely detailed as well as moving, was one of many housed in the village museum.
