The weekend of Saturday 30th
June/ Sunday 1st
July
Members, and others who regularly attend HFC, will already
know that a visit will take place over this weekend by a
prospective Minister. Full details have been issued, but
below is a brief reminder of the timetable for the weekend,
which of course includes visits to Trinity URC, Bromley, as
well as to Hayes.
Saturday 30th
June
10.00 – 10.30am Coffee, with a chance to read a written
introduction to the Minister
10.30 – approx. 12.00 noon The Minister introduces
herself, followed by questions and informal conversations.
Sunday 1st
July
10.00am The Minister conducts Morning Service at Hayes
(“preaching with a view”). She will leave immediately
afterwards to take a service at Trinity. Please note the early
start, which enables her to complete both services in the
same morning.
Approx. 11.00 – 11.30am The usual coffee break
11.30am A special meeting of Hayes Free Church,
finishing with a vote on whether to issue a call to the
Ministry of our church. NOTE: Voting is restricted to church
members who have attended both the service and the
meeting.
3.00pm It is hoped that by this time your Pastoral Elder will
be able to give you the result of the Hayes and Trinity votes
(though it will be too soon for the Minister’s response, if a
call is issued).

Letter from the Church Secretary
Dear All,
Having just returned from our holiday on the Isle of Wight, I must tell
you about our visit to Quarr Abbey for Mass. Though sadly there
were only 9 monks, the Abbey was full with 70 or more school
children, so well behaved but quite obviously not Catholic. As we
left, as always I was in awe of all I had experienced, it's just an
amazing feeling and Colin said it had been a rather long service. I
hadn't been aware of its length and those youngsters were in the
Abbey before us and also after we left. So often youngsters get a
bad name, but those at Mass were wonderful.
With our holiday behind us I now look ahead to our special
weekend. How wonderful it would be for our church to be full. We
have waited for 2 and a half years, trusting God that He had plans
for us. So let us continue to trust our Lord as He gives us the
opportunity to hear our visitor preach with a view to being our
Minister.
With Christian love,
Mavis

Church Meetings
There will be a special Church meeting at
11.30am on Sunday 1st July (see p1).
Following that, the next regular Church meetings
will be held in the Church at 12.00 noon on
Sundays 22nd
July and 23rd
September.
The next two Elders' meetings will be at 7.00 pm in the small hall
on Tuesdays 3rd
July and 4th
September.
News of the Church Family
Joan Carter
I am very sorry to report that Joan Carter has died after a long
illness. Many people will remember Joan, who was a long-standing
member of Hayes Free Church, and who contributed to many of
the church’s activities until in recent times this ceased to be
possible for her. Indeed she was so frequently seen helping with
refreshments that she became known as the tea-lady! Joan’s
funeral service will take place on Wednesday 4th
July at 12.30pm
at Beckenham Crematorium, Elmers End, followed by
refreshments at the New Inn, in Hayes. The family would be very
pleased if friends from the church are able to attend the service
and join them afterwards. Everyone is very welcome, but the
caterers have asked for an estimated number, so if you intend to
come to the New Inn please would you inform Joan’s daughter,
Christine Balls, on 0208 777 1764.
A Special Service
The April issue of Catalyst included a message about a special
occasion which was coming up in August. It is not far away now, so
here is a reminder that on Sunday 26th
August there will be a
Service of Recognition of the 50th
Anniversary of Ordination of our
former Minister, Rev John Robinson. This will take place at
10.30am at Christ Church (URC/Methodist), Braunton, North
Devon, and will be conducted by Rev Bryn Thomas. John writes
that “If anyone happens to be in the South West that weekend, a
warm welcome will be extended.” I am sure that the whole
membership of HFC would like to send him our congratulations and
best wishes.

The Fairtrade stall is held once a month on the second Sunday, just
after the morning service. The stall is near the refreshments trolley,
so please do pop by to see what we have for sale. The items range
from snacks and breakfast foods through to greetings cards. We
look forward to seeing you.
Richard and Barbara
Ministry of Flowers
Thank you to those involved in the weekly choice and arrangement
of flowers in the church. Thanks go also to those who provide for
these displays week by week.
After the service on Sunday morning, the flowers are distributed in
order to celebrate, or thank, or support, and in all cases to bring
further enjoyment.
Besides helping to decorate the church, supplying flowers for a
particular Sunday is an excellent way to mark a special
anniversary, or remember a friend or family member. Please let us
know if you would like to help in this.

The Leprosy Mission and Your Stamps
Very many thanks to the several people who provided British and
foreign stamps for the recent collection in aid of the Leprosy
Mission, who were most grateful for our support. We will continue
to collect for them, but please in future don’t bother with the
ordinary red and blue first and second class stamps – they have no
commercial value. However, please look out for new issues, such
as the recently released Dad’s Army stamps of various values.
Many thanks! Martin
In connection with Martin’s appeal above I thought you might like to
see the Royal Mail’s list of special issue stamps for the rest of
2018. He is of course asking you to look out for used stamps rather
than buying them new (buying these stamps will not in itself help
the Leprosy Mission’s cause unless we then use them to write to
each other – or to friends and relatives from whom we can later
reclaim the envelopes!) But it is still fun to enjoy the new issues, so
here is the information. The Dad’s Army stamps were issued on 26
June, and are to be followed by stamps on these themes:
Hampton Court Palace 31 July
Captain Cook and the Endeavour 16 August
The First World War – 1918 13 September
Christmas 1 November
HRH The Prince of Wales -70th
birthday 14 November
Issues are also due on 30 August and 16 October but the subjects
have not yet been announced. Editor
Bromley Food Bank
The list of the most urgently needed items (as shown on their website) is
again unchanged. Here it is:
Coffee; longlife fruit juice; sponge puddings; jellies; instant whips; tinned
meat (that can form the basis of a hot meal); toilet rolls; washing detergent
(tablets, powder or liquid); washing up liquid; shower gel; shampoo;
deodorant;
And as usual, they do not need: beans, pasta, soup and cereal.

Christian Aid week 2018 (officially 13-19 May…)
Apologies that by the time the
information for this report was
available, it was too late to get it
into June’s Catalyst.
As usual church members and friends have been very generous in
their recognition of Christian Aid week, and despite the fact that we
can no longer run door-to-door collections, we have managed to
amass a substantial £680 for the cause. Within that sum, £85 was
liable for Gift Aid, which should bring in an additional £21.25, taking
the total figure just over £700. Much of the credit for this goes to
Barbara, whose coffee morning, as last year, formed the main
event of HFC’s Christian Aid week. It was strongly supported by
members and others, and raised an impressive £355, besides
giving some of us a rare opportunity to chat as a group in a
domestic setting. The charity also formed a key element of the
sermon at the Sunday morning service on 13th
May; envelopes
were available and those which were returned then and later raised
an extra £121. The rest came from other donations, including £145
from our regular post-service Sunday morning refreshments.
Christian Aid week 2018 (…and one extra day, 20th May)
Each year, on the Sunday immediately following the official close of
the week, Christian Aid in London has for twenty years run a
sponsored walk in London. The walk links up various historic
churches as the checkpoints. Barbara and Christine have been
involved in this for some time now and this year we had the special
opportunity of stewarding at the Temple Church, inside the Inns of
Court. This church is very old, very beautiful and has very unusual
architecture (including a round nave), and we would certainly
recommend a visit if you have the opportunity. It is not often
included in the walk, and the walkers clearly appreciated the
chance to see it.

The Wandle Ringers’ Concert
On 20th
June we were delighted to welcome the Wandle Ringers for
a Midsummer Ring – a concert that they had kindly agreed to give
in aid of the Mounthurst Scout Hut project. They gave us a feast of
music with Beethoven, Mendelssohn and other such composers
mingling with the Parade of the Tin Soldiers, and the traditional
morris dance Shepherd’s Hey. There was also a piece written for
the Ringers’ 30th
anniversary, recalling the River Wandle from which
they take their name. “Mingling” seems to be the right word as the
arrangements often allow well-known tunes to intertwine with each
other – the audience has to keep on its toes to spot all the
references. The evening was much enjoyed and the event raised
£564.
QUIZ ANSWERS: The answers to last month’s clues were:
 The home city of the Guardian newspaper: MANCHESTER
 The Scottish city whose name means “Mouth of the River
Ness”: INVERNESS
 The city with no conversation for those sent there:
COVENTRY
 The city whose name might be uttered inadvertently by a
highwayman: ANDOVER (….your money)
 The letter that threatens to defeat Eliza Doolittle in My Fair
Lady: H (“in Hertfordshire, Herefordshire and Hampshire,
hurricanes hardly ever happen”)
 The Biblical name is of course: MICAH
Meantime the summer stretches ahead and as you will have seen a
number of church activities will take a break in August. So, whether
or not you are going away, the Catalyst team wishes you:
a very peaceful
and enjoyable
summer!

Votes for Women!
In this year of major anniversaries, Catalyst has so far made no
mention of women first achieving the vote in 1918. But just now, as
we contemplate the possibility of a woman Minister, and the church
membership undertaking that contemplation is predominantly
female, perhaps this is the moment. In fact the Representation of
the People Act 1918 was a democratic advance worth celebrating
for several reasons, not all of them well remembered today. It
clarified some things that we now take for granted (for example that
you vote in the place where you live, and that general elections are
held throughout the country on the same day). And it hugely
enlarged the electorate of male as well as female voters.
Throughout the C19 there had been a gradual widening of the male
electorate, but it was all based on property qualifications, and many
were left out. So at the time of the First World War some 40% of
adult males still had no vote. There were also significant
discrepancies in the proportion of men who had the vote in England
and Wales; Scotland, and Ireland (presumably reflecting the relative
wealth of these countries).
It is often said that the work done by women during the war was
what persuaded Parliament that they could be trusted with the vote,
and perhaps there was a similar view of the troops returning home
from France. Certainly the Home Secretary of the day attributed the
previous exclusions to old class prejudices which he thought were
gone for good after the experience of the war. All men aged 21
were given the vote by this act, but for women the situation was
more nuanced – those aged 30 or over had the vote, but even for
these there was also a property qualification. Full equality had to
wait for the 1928 Act, which gave women parity with men – both
now had the vote if they were 21 or over. This Act received royal
assent on 2 July 1928, so we are just in time to celebrate its 90th
anniversary!
On the position of women, Parliament was not necessarily leading,
but sometimes following, changes already happening in society, not
least in our churches (see Catalyst for September 2017). HFC of
course did not exist in 1918 but it has certainly seen an increasingly
female trend over the years – a photo of the Deacons (as they then
were) from the early 1970s shows 4 women and 11 men, almost a
mirror-image of the proportions of today’s Eldership.

Lunchtime concert at Bromley Central Library: 5th July
Adrian Boynton and Friends will be giving a summer concert as
part of their quarterly series in Bromley. The details are:
- SUMMER SERENADE
- Thursday 5th
July 12.00 noon – 2.00pm
- Admission by programme at the door - £7.00
- For further details please ring 07961 348697
This information has been passed to the Editor by a church
member who has been to other concerts in the series, and warmly
recommends them.
CTiH Bank Holiday Rambles: the next is Monday August 27th
We were very fortunate that both Bank Holiday Mondays in May proved to be
pleasantly warm and sunny, and our two rambles, in the Darent valley south
of Dartford and the Cray valley south of Bexley, attracted 13 and 10 walkers
respectively, with all four Hayes churches represented. The rural scenery
was delightful and varied, and both the historic pubs we visited – the
Chequers at Darenth and the White Cross at North Cray – provided delicious
meals at very reasonable prices. I hope to lead another enjoyable [r]amble of
about the same length (3 or 4 miles) on August 27th
– details nearer the time,
but we’ll meet in the Rosary carpark at 10.15am as usual. Let’s hope for
another fine day! Martin
GDPR and Catalyst
I hope this will be the last mention of this subject for some time, but it may be
helpful to have a brief explanation of GDPR’s effect on Catalyst.
Mentioning someone in a church magazine is not covered by the new HFC
policy on data protection, and that means that (with a very few exceptions)
written permission is needed for every personal reference that appears in
Catalyst.
I am gradually getting these permissions, which will usually apply to future
mentions as well, but it will take some time. Before they give permission,
people need to be made aware that the magazine goes onto the Internet,
and stays there for a year.
These rules apply to photographs as well as words; before I can publish a
group photo, I have to get written permission from everyone who appears in
it, plus the photographer. This will inevitably be difficult if some of those in the
photo are visitors from a distance. So please bear this in mind, and come
and discuss any possible photos with me, ideally before they are actually
taken. Thank you. Editor

Roses for Peace
In November of this year we will mark the centenary of the end of
the First World War. But at this time of year, peace roses are in
bloom, and although they relate to a different war, I thought you
might like to read their story. Perhaps you already know it.
This rose was first developed in the late 1930s by the French rose
grower Francis Meilland, and initially named Madame A Meilland in
memory of his mother. That is still its formal name. But just as it
reached the stage at which he might have been propagating it
widely for commercial sale, war broke out. The Meilland family sent
their budstock out of France, to Germany, Italy and (said to have
been smuggled out in one of the last diplomatic bags) the US.

16. - 14 -
It was also sent to Turkey, but this despatch was lost in the conflict
and never arrived. In the following years, separated by war, it was
developed in the other three countries, and named Gioia (Joy) in
Italy and Gloria Dei (the Glory of God) in Germany.
In the United States, the rose was prepared for a formal launch on
29th
April 1945, a day chosen to coincide with a rose growers’
festival, but one which also saw the fall of Berlin. At this significant
time, it was decided to call the rose Peace.
The Meilland family welcomed all the names, all of which they
considered reflected different aspects of Madame Meilland’s
personality, but Peace was adopted by other English-speaking
countries and has become the best known.
Whilst its name obviously played a part, the quality of the rose was
also important in achieving its great popularity (it is credited with
reviving interest in rose-growing after the war). It is highly regarded
by rose-growers, who have been able to develop many variants
from it, and it is still available to buy today. More immediately, it is in
its full glory at the moment and there are plenty to be seen in
gardens in and around Hayes.

Eye tests – did you know?
For some time it has been possible to have an eye test at home if
you can’t reach the opticians. Specsavers however are now making
a big effort to publicise this. It is a free NHS eye test.
If this is something that would help you, or someone you know, you
can get more information by ringing 0800 089 0886 or searching
online for Specsavers Home Eye Test. Their shop in West
Wickham should also have details.

20. Final thought
You care for the land and water it;
You enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water
To provide the people with corn,
For so you have ordained it.
Psalm 65 v 9
New International Version
