Letter from the Church Secretary
Dear all,
As I write this letter the sun is shining and the garden is alive. I
wandered down to the pond and there is frog-spawn all waiting
to burst forth with new life.
New life; the miracle of God's creation, there for us all to look at
and marvel at. I love this time of year as I watch for baby birds
and butterflies emerge. I have seen my first butterfly this year, the
sulphur yellow brimstone, so beautiful and fragile.
I am looking forward to a new great niece, a totally new
character, unique, amazing.
God has given us so much to admire, nurture and protect.
So as we enjoy all that is fresh and new, let us give thanks to our
Almighty Creator, the one true God, bountiful and generous in His
amazing creation.
With Christian love to you all
Mavis

Word Processors!
Sometimes the automatic messages which word processors throw up
to advise how they are tackling a routine task can take on a new
meaning: -
A file named preachers had to be modified for processing. The
programme dutifully told me that it was “Converting Preachers.”

This year, we have decided to knit baby clothes (1st size) for the Haiti
Hospital appeal maternity project. If there are any readers of
Catalyst who would like to join us by knitting and/or providing
double knitting wool in any colour (not white) please talk to me as I

Air Traffic Control Communications with Pilots
A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While
attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, "What was
your last known position?"
Student: "When I was number one for takeoff."

From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm
bored!"

The Fairtrade Sunday Stall
We hold a fair trade stall after the morning service on the 2nd and 4th

appetising snacks, along with the usual food and non-food lines. We
will also be ordering some new lines of cake and hope that they will
be available in April.
Please continue to support your stall.
Richard and Barbara.
Editor’s Notes
First of all, may I offer my apologies if Catalyst is a little late in reaching
you. March has proved to be extremely busy, and with Easter falling
early, this has all placed pressure on producing Catalyst in time and
with coverage of all events, etc.
I am repeating last month’s notes. However, you are invited to make
some new contributions to Catalyst: -
1) At her last service, Sue suggested that you send in prayers for
inclusion in Catalyst. Your prayers will be most welcome.
2) The way things once were is concentrating on wartime food
recipes.

Refurbished treatment suite officially opened
Over 70 guests ....
attended the official
opening of the newly
refurbished Treatment
Suite in the Chartwell
Cancer & Leukaemia
Unit at the Princess
Royal University
Hospital, Farnborough,
Kent on Thursday 17th
March, 17.30 pm.
The refurbishment
represents one of the
latest projects for The Chartwell Cancer Trust and has been made
possible because of the generous donations from local businesses
and individuals who pledged their support at the start of the project
in late 2014.
The remodelled suite includes 10 dedicated bays for giving patients’
chemotherapy treatment, all equipped with large comfortable chairs
and plenty of space for staff to treat patients and for family, friends
and carers to sit with the patients if necessary. The refurbishment
also included the installation of air conditioning, to keep the
temperature comfortable throughout the year, especially in the
summer when it can become very hot within the unit. .... the
remodeling of the whole area, including bringing the reception area
forward, has .... further improved privacy for patients.
In addition, Wi-Fi has been installed to enable patients to use their
own electronic items. In short, the re-modelling and refurbishment
has made better use of the space available, provides a much
improved working environment for the staff and improved dignity of
patients undergoing treatment, making their experience as
comfortable as possible.

Trustees Michael Douglas, Gile Juttla and Bobby Beech, along with
Natalie Reilly, Director of The CCT’s FUNdraising Magazine and
manager at the head office in Tatsfield, proudly presented the
Chartwell Unit with a cheque for £80,000, the cost of the
refurbishment. Accepting the cheque on behalf of the team at the
unit, Anne Duffy, Head of Nursing, said: “On behalf of the team here,
I would like to say thank you to The Chartwell Cancer Trust and all
those who contributed to the refurbishment.”
In response, Trustee Michael Douglas said “The Chartwell Cancer
Trust exists to support the medical teams that run the Unit. We have
been funding additional staff since 2005 and last year agreed an
additional funding package of over £350,000 to cover the cost of 1.5
additional Cancer Nurse Specialist positions. It is our intention to
continue to support the Doctors and Nurses in every way that we
can ....”.
....... The CCT, was founded in 2005 by the Trustees to raise funds to
give financial support to the Chartwell Cancer & Leukaemia Unit. At
the time, Michael himself was undergoing treatment within the Unit
..... The Trust’s aim is simple; to supply funding to increase staffing
levels in the unit and to provide other support, where appropriate,
that will enhance and improve the patients’ care while being treated
in the unit.
There is ........ our sister charity, the CCT Tiger Ward, which supports
the children’s Tiger Ward at the Woolwich Hospital .......
The Trust’s latest venture is to link up with and support the Frog Ward,
the children’s cancer ward at the Croydon University Hospital.
Following the very successful format for the BCCGS, Frog Ward has
set up the Croydon Childhood Cancer Support Group, which The
CCT will be supporting.

A Prayer for Those Who Live Alone
I live alone, Dear Lord.
Stay by my side.
In all my daily needs,
Be Thou my guide.
Grant me good health,
For that, indeed, I pray
To carry on my work
From day to day.
Keep pure my mind,
My thoughts, my every deed,
Let me be kind, unselfish,
In my neighbour's need.
If sickness or an accident befall,
Then humbly, Lord, I pray,
Hear Thou my call.
And when I'm feeling low
Or in despair,
Lift up my heart
And help me in my prayer.
I live alone, Dear Lord,
Yet have no fear,
Because I feel Your presence
Ever near.
Amen

CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL 2016
CHARITY TO BE SUPPORTED
The charity to be supported by our 2016 festival is due to be chosen by
members at the church meeting of Sunday 24th April. Four charities
have been put forward, and a little information about each appears
below.
Carers Bromley (www.carersbromley.org.uk)
The aim of Carers Bromley is to support unpaid carers of all ages in the
London Borough of Bromley. It does this by providing them with various
forms of support; information and access to services. The main areas
covered are as follows:
- Legal and financial advice, including how to claim benefits or
allowances to which carers, or those they care for, are entitled
- Dedicated support for Young Carers, including activities, health
advice, breaks and holidays and a discussion forum
- Respite services for carers
- A wide range of support groups, including specialist advice on
dealing with particular conditions (such as dementia), or situations
(such as leaving hospital)
These are only the most obvious areas – there are many other ways in
which the charity can give specific help as it is needed.
Bromley Mencap (www.bromleymencap.org.uk)
Bromley Mencap provides a wide range of services open to disabled
people of all ages. Families and carers are also supported. Areas
covered include a telephone advice service, child minding and res-
pite care, with leisure activities and help for older carers – but also
employment training, along with support and help in finding and
sustaining jobs. Bromley Mencap is currently raising funds for a project
in this last area. They are planning to refurbish a building in Norman
Park, donated by Bromley Council, which will then be used as an
enterprise centre, providing training and opportunities in catering, bike
recycling and horticulture. They have a target of £80,000 and at time
of writing (early March) have raised £33,000.
NOTE: The charity merged with Bromley Scope in 2010 (this was a local
arrangement only; Bromley Scope was a small charity, independent of
the national charity Scope, which has continued unaffected). At that
time Bromley Mencap widened its remit so that it now offers support to

all disabled people across the borough, regardless of the nature of the
disability.
Bromley & District Parkinson’s Branch (www.parkinsons.org.uk)
The Bromley branch sits within the national society supporting people
suffering from Parkinson’s disease. It was established over 40 years ago
to provide friendship and support to people with Parkinson's and to
their carers. There are currently in excess of 140 members; many of
them utilise the meetings, day trips and other activities which the
branch provides at subsidised rates and in many cases free of charge.
These are some examples of the group’s regular activities:
· Monthly group meeting at St George’s Church, Bickley
· Monthly drop-in meetings in Beckenham and Orpington
· Approx. two coach trips each year (recent trips included Wisley
and Arundel)
· Weekly t’ai chi sessions in Beckenham
· Short mat bowls four times a month (at two locations in Beckenham)
· Weekly sailing at Chipstead Lake
· Regular walks for carers
· Indoor bowls once a week at Orpington
NOTE: This charity was supported by the Christmas Tree Festival in 2011.
Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals (ASWA) (www.aswa.org.uk)
Although founded by Anglicans, ASWA provides a focus for Christians of
all denominations to work for the welfare of animals, on the basis that
care for all God’s creatures is part of Christian discipleship. Much of its
work is in education, and it encourages churches to pay serious atten-
tion to the welfare of animals, and to issues of the day involving them,
for example by including prayers for animals in church services. ASWA
also campaigns, often alongside secular organisations, against the
human exploitation of animals.
NOTE: I am told there is a local group and at time of writing I await
confirmation that it would be possible to ring-fence any money raised
for local use, and also information about how it would be used in a
local setting.

Prayer
O God the Father of all, whose Son commanded us to love our
enemies:
Lead them and us from prejudice to truth:
Deliver them and us from hatred, cruelty, and revenge;
and in your good time enable us all to stand reconciled before you,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Prayer submitted by Christine Rees
This prayer is in a handout for the Diocese of London Lent Appeal 2016.
The appeal is on behalf of persecuted Christians in Iraq and Syria.
One of the charities being supported in the appeal is Open Doors.

A SPECIAL POEM FOR OLDER FOLKS
A row of bottles on my shelf
Caused me to analyze myself.
One yellow pill I have to pop
Goes to my heart so it won't stop.?
A little white one that I take
Goes to my hands so they won't shake.
The blue ones that I use a lot
Tell me I'm happy when I'm not.
The purple pill goes to my brain
And tells me that I have no pain.?
The capsules tell me not to wheeze
Or cough or choke or even sneeze..
The red ones, smallest of them all
Go to my blood so I won't fall.
The orange ones, very big and bright
Prevent my leg cramps in the night.
Such an array of brilliant pills
Helping to cure all kinds of ills.
But what I'd really like to know...
Is what tells each one where to go!

The way things once were
The food theme continues this year with recipes from the First World
War. Hopefully, a useful collection will develop throughout the year.
The source of the recipes is the “Win-the-war” cookery book.
Editor
Surrey Stew
Recipe for four people
One pound of stewing or any lean beef
Two carrots
A small bunch of herbs
Seasoning to taste
Flour to thicken
One tablespoonful of butter, dripping, nutter, or margarine
Two onions (sliced thinly)
One turnip
Two cloves
Season a tablespoonful of flour - maize, pea, rice, rye, or any other
flour, except wheat - with plenty of pepper and salt. Cut the
vegetables into dice.
Melt the fat in a casserole, and when hot put in the meat, cut into
convenient pieces, and dipped in the seasoned flour. When the
meat is golden brown, take it out and put in the onion. Fry this lightly,
and stir in with it any flour left over from coating the meat. Now
replace the meat and add the rest of the vegetables. Add the herbs
and cloves, if these are liked.
Pour in a breakfastcupful and a half of warm water (more if liked),
cover the casserole closely, and put it in a moderate oven for two
and a half to three hours. The stew can be simmered over the fire, if
care is taken to prevent burning.
Add seasoning to taste before serving, and take out the herbs.

24. An Easter Prayer
God of new beginnings, Easter tells us to look for life
not inside the sepulchres and monuments of the past,
but among the people with whom we share our
loves, our friendships and our visions.
So, if ever you find me, Lord, weeping by an empty
tomb, I pray that you will lead me to an upper room
to be blessed by the comforting of your Spirit and
the companionship of those who love me.
Amen
