Letter From the Rector Dear Friends, A teacher had asked the class to construct a manger scene in the corner of the classroom. They built the stable, covered the floor with hay, and filled the structure with the figures of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, the wise men, the animals, and a tiny doll, representing the baby Jesus. All the children were excited about the project except one little boy, who kept looking at the manger scene with a troubled expression. The teacher finally asked him if something was wrong. With childlike wisdom, the boy said: “What I’d like to know is, where does God fit in?” Now that, I think, is a good question! – but why? In 2006 the Royal Mail stated that they had made a conscious decision to not have ‘Christian’ images on their Christmas stamps but rather to opt for secular festive images such as Father Christmas. Whilst such a decision was ‘regrettable’ (to quote the official C of E response back then) I have to say I was not at all surprised. The reason being that actually a very large proportion of the population of our nation just don’t know where God fits into Christmas anymore. Since then the Royal Mail have issued ‘Christian’ images on their Christmas stamps, including the 2013 range, but I see from their website that once again 2014 is to be ‘Christian’ image free. As the Christian church we try our best to communicate the true Christmas story. We encourage schools to do nativity plays, we put on carol services and christingle services, we do many different things to publicise the story of Jesus’ birth - but simply knowing that the baby in the manger is called Jesus doesn’t actually answer the question ‘where does God fit in?’ So where does God fit in? Well the simple answer is that actually Jesus is God, or to quote the Old Testament – Immanuel, God with us (Isaiah 7:14 & Matthew 1:23). That’s why the celebration of his birth in a small town in Palestine 2,000 years ago is so important, because that was the moment when God stepped in to change the course of history, to overcome evil and

FUNCTIONS AT NUMBER 28
All the rooms at Number 28, which is opposite St Michael’s Church, are available for rent when not being used by the Church.
The rooms seat between 8 and 60 people, are well appointed and would suit private functions or business meetings.
A full commercial standard kitchen is also available.

to see details, or phone the office on 01606 738005.
death, and reconcile humanity to himself once more. Jesus’ death on the cross and subsequent resurrection from the dead made all that possible. The problem is that if people don’t believe that then they will probably never understand why we, as Christians, get excited about celebrating Jesus’ birth, or why we make such a fuss about the associated shepherds, angels, stable, wise men, etc…. The unfortunate reality is that a significant proportion of our society don’t believe that Jesus is God and therefore just don’t get it. I think part of the problem lies with us, the Christian church. We have stopped telling people the truth about Jesus because it’s no longer considered acceptable in a modern multicultural society. It is a risky thing to proclaim publicly that Jesus Christ is God (see Luke 22:70, John 10:38, Romans 9:5, & Hebrews 1:3) and that his death on the cross is the only way humanity can be reconciled to God (see John 14:6, Acts 4:12, & Romans 10:9). It might make us unpopular, like the first disciples. It might mean we end up in court, like the first disciples. It might even mean we end up in prison, like the first disciples. But it might also mean that some people finally have the answer to the question – Where does God fit in? It’s a risk – but it might be worth it! Yours in Christ Simon Drew

So don’t forget to Pray!
Confirmation
March 8th 2015 at 6.30 pm.
Have you been confirmed? Have you recently started coming to church? If you now see yourself as belonging to St. Michael’s or St. John’s, and have not yet been confirmed, this is important for you. We are having a Confirmation Service at St. Michael’s at 6.30 pm on Sunday, March 8th. If you are someone who has come to faith recently, we invite you to consider Confirmation. It is an opportunity to make the vows made for you at your baptism for yourself in public, and to receive prayer for the infilling of the Holy Spirit from the bishop. For many it is the occasion of their first Communion. If you have not yet been baptised, we will arrange that at a suitable time. But you may have been coming along for years, you may have joined St. Michael’s or St. John’s from another Christian denomination, and you want to make a public declaration that you now belong to us – then again, please consider Confirmation. It is good to have an opportunity to learn more of the faith in an informal setting, and always good to rededicate our lives to the Lord. Young people need to be in year 10 or above. There is no upper age limit! I normally hold five preparation classes and then a rehearsal on Sunday afternoons from 5 – 6 pm downstairs in No. 28. The classes will start on Sunday, January 11th, missing the half term weekends. If you think you might be interested, please contact me soon. If you are not sure whether it is for you, or what is involved, it would be good to have a chat – do please get in touch.

WHY I CAN’T WAIT TO SING ‘HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING ‘
.. this Christmas How odd? you might say, that someone is getting excited about singing a song that we’ve all sung many times before, in School Assembly, Carol Concerts or perhaps while out shopping in the Supermarket in the weeks leading up to Christmas? To some, the carol will “Herald” the arrival of Father Christmas, with his sack full of toys, sleigh and reindeers on the roof, mince pie, carrot and glass of sherry set ready. To others the Carol may herald long shifts spent on the Wards of a hospital, caring for those whose body doesn’t know that it’s Christmas, and that it should be up and about busying itself in preparation for the big day. But to me, and many others like me, this Carol heralds in a celebration to beat all other celebrations – it heralds in the season when we celebrate the birth of Jesus, over 2,000 years ago. It tells the story of the night before Jesus’ birth, when God’s messengers came down to earth to tell, sing, shout out the good news that God was to come down to earth to live amongst us. That God would be here, with us, as one of us. The Carol was written by Charles Wesley in 1739, which can explain some of the old-fashioned turns of phrase, like ‘offspring of a Virgins’ womb’ or ‘veiled in flesh the Godhead see, hail the incarnate Deity’. The tune that we all know was penned by Felix Mendelssohn. There have been a few tweaks to the words, and the music has had a make-over to include the well-loved descant verses but fundamentally it is as the composer intended it almost 300 years ago. So why has this particular Carol stood the test of time, when many other things have faded into oblivion? Could it be that its message is so huge, so important, so joyous, that its intensity will never fade, will always be the best news ever? I think so. It reveals that on one night, 2,000 years ago, God decided that He would come to live amongst the human race, be mortal man like the rest of us, and begin life as a baby, both fully man and fully God, to bring reconciliation

between God and man and bring us the free gift of eternal life! From the first to last line, this song tells the story to beat all stories, which has stood the test of time and will continue to do so. The greatest story ever told, for me, for you and for everyone who believes that Jesus came to earth, to die to absolve me of sin and thereby open the door of heaven to me. So I don’t want an iPad, or an Xbox or a new bike this Christmas. I want what I get every year when the carol is sung as the recessional hymn at the Christmas Eve Communion: a huge wave of happiness and a leap and bound in my step as I enter Christmas Day knowing that I have the best Christmas present of them all – Jesus in my life, Last year, this year and forever!! Anne Latham
Prayer for Christmas Presence
Generous Father, At this busy time of year, help us to remember the important things. In all the rush of sending cards and giving presents may we make time to be still, to acknowledge your sending and giving of the greatest gift of all, Jesus. Thank you that he didn’t stay in the stable in Bethlehem, but lived and died and became the Saviour of all who put their trust in him. May we receive afresh the gift of your presence with us in Jesus, now and for ever, with great thankfulness. In his name, we pray. Amen.
By Daphne Kitching
A Saint at Christmas
Lord of pots and pans and things, Since I’ve not time to be A saint by doing lovely things, Or watching late with Thee
Although I must have Martha’s hands, I have a Mary’s mind that’s free - And when I clean and cook and care, It is your face that I see.
Or dreaming in the dawn light Or storming Heaven’s gates, Make me a saint by getting meals, And washing up the plates
I think of how you trod the earth Each time I scrub the floor, Accept this meditation Lord, I haven’t time for more

Church Rules Six year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel sat together for the Christmas concert in church. Joel kept giggling and whispering until his big sister had had enough. “Be quiet in church!” “Why?” Joel demanded. “Who is going to make me?” Angie pointed to the back of the church and said: “See those two big men standing at the door? They’re hushers.”

Popular ‘chat show style’ radio ads for Christmas campaign An award-winning stand-up comic, Paul Kerensa, has teamed up with the Christian communications network – ChurchAds.net – to raise awareness about the true meaning of Christmas. Kerensa, also a writer for sitcoms like Miranda and Not Going Out, features as a number of character voices on three new ads as part of the Christmas Starts with Christ Campaign. “For me, Christmas normally ends in a mess but this campaign reminds us it starts with Christ. These excellent ads spoof the daytime tabloid talkshows and hopefully, these commercials will remind listeners that in the birthday party this Christmas, we shouldn’t forget the birthday boy,” said Ke-rensa. The ads jog the memory about the nativity story in the style of a confrontational chat show: The Three Wise Men defending why they did not tell King Herod where to find baby Jesus (“We’re the three wise men, Herod, the clue’s in the name”); the Archangel Gabriel facing complaints about waking up everyone at 3am with the Hallelujah Chorus (“We had shepherds and environmental health on our backs, they thought we were having an ille-gal rave!”); and the donkey, that Mary rode to Bethlehem, trying to get in on the act (“How else were Mary and Joseph going to get to Bethlehem? By shuttle bus?”) We believe these radio ads reach out in a creative and imaginative way to young people, many of whom know little of the Christmas story. We hope this will encourage them to find out more about the birth of Jesus and the continued relevance at Christmas in 2014,” said Francis Goodwin of the ChurchAds.Net. The national advertising campaign is funded by long-term supporters Jerusalem Productions. The radio adverts can be downloaded for free use at: http://www.ChristmasStartsWithChrist.com/resources/
Cranmer Awards
Four of our young people entered the Chester Diocese heat of the Cranmer Awards, this year held at Gawsworth. This is a competition which involves reading from the Book of Common Prayer – not easy! In the junior section, Alice Olbrich, competing for the first time and only just old enough, came third. Megan Ellison was narrowly beaten into second place by her brother Paul. Paul will be competing in the final, a very prestigious event, next year. Charlotte Buckley, only just old enough for the senior section, came second – by one per cent! All were praised by the judges for their high standard Congratulations to all of them.
