God's Gift of Jesus at Christmas
1. FROM THE REVD STEVE PAYNE
Dear Friends
In the spirit of the season I want to present you with a short quiz. By now you will be
thoroughly familiar with some of the Christmas T.V. adverts. Each present their take as I see it
on the message of Christmas. Can you match up the adverts to the sentiments expressed
below?
Christmas is about fairytales
Christmas is about being part of a family
Christmas is all about having a good time with plenty to eat.
(If you are still guessing you can the find the answers on page 15)
The John Lewis advert, which is none of the above, often is the one that people await with
great anticipation. In it this year a bear is presented with the gift of an alarm clock by a hare
that does not want him to miss out on the experience of Christmas.
What does Christmas mean to you?
For the Christian, Christmas celebrates not a fairytale but the incredible truth that God has
introduced himself to us in the person of Jesus Christ who invites us all not to miss out on
experiencing the blessings of being part of God’s family.
The supermarket chain Asda decided that they didn’t need a fancy big budget advert to get
across their message. They would have their customers believe that their Christmas would
simply cost you less.
When God wants to communicate to us he does so by simply coming in person. When we wake
up to that fact which lies at the heart of the celebrations we can find someone who can make
a real difference to our lives.
How will you allow this amazing fact shape your Christmas?
In this magazine you will find listed the many Christmas events and Services taking place
around the parish. We would be delighted for you to join us at any one of them as we
celebrate together the one who is the reason for the season.
Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
God Bless
Steve

IN MEMORIAM
CAROLYN BRODRIBB was born in 1948. She had been a general medical social worker at St
Bartholomew Hospital (1969-71) and had visited St Christopher’s Hospice.
Her move to Plymouth with her husband and children in 1978 and her lifelong interest in
bereavement led her to attending the inaugural meeting of a group wishing to establish a hospice
in Plymouth. When St Luke’s Hospice opened in 1982, Carolyn became the Hospice’s Principal
Social Worker. Her position enabled her to teach social work students from Plymouth and Exeter
as well as caring for patients. As St Luke’s developed her own personal experiences of
bereavement and her Christian Faith came into her work. In 1994 she became a Macmillan
Social Work Lecturer at the University of Plymouth and throughout the 1990’s worked in the
psychology of bereavement.
Carolyn Ann Brodribb was ordained in 2004. She served as Curate in Plymstock & Hooe 190406. In 2006 she became Priest-in-charge at Dolton, Iddesleigh with Dowland and
Monkokehampton.
Carolyn also worked in the Diocese as an Acorn Christian Listeners tutor, was involved with
training people to act as Spiritual Direction guides and with her good friend, the Revd Kathy
Roberts, whom she met in South Africa, led the Breakthrough to Life programme.
In The Times obituary notice, someone has written that Carolyn was “An inspirational woman
greatly loved by her congregation”. Former colleague, the Revd Ian Provost wrote “that it was a
privilege to work with Carolyn in the parish. She was a delight, a joy and a fine priest”.
Her death on 9th November at the age of 65 years is a great loss, not only to her congregations in
north Devon, but to the Church in Devon.
3. We can only echo their thoughts and memories of a special lady.
A Service of Thanksgiving is being held on 22nd November at St Edmund’s, Dolton.
Wreaths were laid at the D Day Memorial Stone on Hooe Green.
The Service was well attended by villagers, Service personnel, children from Hooe Primary School
and workmen from MJL who are still working in the area.
It was led by the Revd Steve Payne and the Revd Stu Clarke.

FROM ST JOHN’S PARISH REGISTERS
FUNERAL OFFICE:
We remember those who have lost loved ones and commend to God the soul of:-
CHARLES EDWARD (EDDIE) RENDELL who died on 6
th
November aged 88 years. The husband of
Dorothy and a much loved father, grandfather and great grandfather.
Eddie was born in Holmbush, St Austell, one of five children. The family moved to Plymouth
in 1930 where his father was the chauffeur/gardener to Colonel Coates at Holly Bank.
Eddie was a choirboy at St John’s and at Christmas would sing Good King Wenceslas with Mr
Perry.
His first job was working at Radford Farm delivering milk to Hooe and Turnchapel in an old
Austin car. He then joined the Army and served four years before being medically discharged
due to a shrapnel injury. By this time the family were living at Meadow Park and after his
discharge he got a job with Western National. He then went on to work for who would be his
future father-in-law at the Hooe Dairy where he met Dorothy. They courted and married and
would have celebrated 66 wonderful years together on 16th December.
Four children followed and many house moves. At one time Ed was Verger at St John’s and
the family lived in the Church house. Eddie and Dorothy travelled to many countries, Canada,
Ireland and visiting their youngest son where he lived in Germany being some of their
favourite trips but in recent years Eddie’s favourite place was Menorca.
Over the years the family has grown with grandchildren and great grand-children keeping Ed
smiling and laughing. He will be greatly missed by them all.
A large congregation attended the Funeral Service at St John’s on 19th November, 2013.
Granddaughter Amy read a poem during the Service.
Donations were for St Luke’s Hospice. Interment followed at Drake Memorial Park.

BURIAL OF ASHES on 17th October at Efford Cemetery:
RICHARD NORTHMORE of Ashery Drive, Hooe, husband of Janet.
‘YOUNG @ HEART’
Mrs Celia Steven was our speaker at November’s meeting. We heard a fascinating talk about the
history of the Bramley seedling apple. Celia originated from Nottingham and is the granddaughter
of Mr Bramley, whose name the apple takes. Earlier ancestry was the Merriweather family going
back 200 years whose family members had experimented and managed to grow trees from apple
pips.
On the devastating death of her husband, Celia upped sticks and relocated to the West Country – to
Buckland Monachorum. She has pledged her life to keeping the history of the Bramley seedling alive
5. in this country and around the world. Because of proposals by the European Government concerning
apples, she took a basket full of Bramleys along with a petition for support from our Government to
10 Downing Street, and the then Prime Minister, John Major. She had taken her granddaughter with
her and they were invited in and given a tour of the house by Mr Major.
Celia has lectured in countries of the Continent and Norway and recently took her lecture to Japan.
Here she was made extremely welcome – she was provided with an interpreter, a guide and
wonderful hotel accommodation. She had been given charming little gifts which she brought along
to show us; also some delicious apple juice which we were very willing to buy to support her cause
which is now a registered charity.
All the monies from Celia’s talks and sales of apple juice are ploughed back into the Bramley Apple
Society. She enlists the help of local children with planting the young seedlings; the same children
design the labels for the apple juice.
She was a wonderful speaker, so much so it was difficult to keep track of all her activities. We
thanked her for such an interesting talk and carried on chatting over tea.

Next Meeting ~ Tuesday, 3rd December 2013 at 2.00pm in St John’s Hall,
when we have some entertainment for our Christmas Party.
Do come if you can.
New members are always made welcome.
USED POSTAGE STAMPS
Please collect your used postage stamps this festive season, and throughout the year, they
can be forwarded to the charity Leprosy Mission in Ethiopia. This is a very worthwhile
charity as leprosy is now a controllable, often curable, disease and your used stamps really
help.

WE WILL REMEMBER
On
Remembrance
Sunday there was an
all age service in the
afternoon at the
Church of the Good
Shepherd Oreston.
We
remembered
those who had fought
in all the conflicts over
the years by lighting
candles and placing
them on the Union
flag. Josie read a
poem
about
Evacuees & Kevin
remembered the after
effects of the Second
World War on life in
Oreston.
(His
thoughts can be seen
after this report).
A poppy wreath was
made during the Service and the congregation processed down to Oreston Quay with it where it was hung on the railings.
Sam played ‘The Last Post’ on his trumpet which led into the 2 minute silence. We then sang the National Anthem. We all
then went back to the Church Hall and enjoyed a cream tea.
Thank you to everyone who helped with the Service and prepared & served the delicious cream tea.
-Lin Miller
6. MEMORIES
I was born 10 years after the end of the Second World War and my childhood was influenced by the after effects of that
conflict. Not only had my Father served as a Regular in the Royal Air Force, but two of my Uncles had died at sea, leaving
two young children fatherless, and another was invalided out of the Services. It was not unusual to come into contact with
ex-servicemen who showed the scars of injury, either having missing limbs or quite apparent mental problems. After starting
work, I was with many ex-servicemen who had suffered badly physically.
My Father's experiences of the War included harrowing ones which he kept to himself, like many to a correct nutritional
regime after years of deprivation. The sight of someone's inhumanity badly shocked him.
My Mother told stories of the effect of enemy action on her family - a constant struggle for shelter, warmth and food. After
leaving school she had a constant stream of workplaces that disappeared in the Blitz. One memory of a Bank Holiday trip to
the seaside stood out because the family party was shot at by an enemy aircraft.
The physical signs of war were all around and I enjoyed playing on bomb sites and in disused air raid shelters with my
contemporaries, even here in Oreston, although later I found out that there had been significant civilian air raid casualties in
this area, including a young family dying when an air-raid shelter was hit.
Plymouth was still undergoing rebuilding and the air of confidence in the future was quite apparent. This was also the era of
the Cold War, Plymouth had a nuclear-proof command bunker at Mount Wise and not only did the Dockyard employ about
15,000 workers, but Royal Navy ships were in the port in great numbers - school swimming lessons at Mount Wise
swimming baths were usually interrupted when a large Naval ship sailed past. All the other armed services were in
Plymouth: the Royal Air Force, the Army and the Royal Marines were scattered all around the area so uniforms were a
common sight.
The marking of Armistice Day was kept up in the 60s with the Scouts and other uniformed organisations marching up
Burrow Hill to be among the throng in the commemoration. These services faded away, but have now been revived and
include young people who are aware of 20th century conflicts, to them it is as ancient as the Boer War was to us, but to me
it was as recent as the conflict in Iraq - ancient history compared with recent history.

THE MOTHERS’UNION SUPPORTS THIS CAMPAIGN
16 Days of Activism Against GenderViolence25th November – 10th
December
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is a global campaign’
originating from the first Women's Global Leadership Institute, coordinated by
the Center for Women's Global Leadership, Rutgers University, in 1991.
7. As part of the Mothers’ Union’s Worldwide Campaign to End Violence Against Women and
Girls we support the 16 Days of Activism and ask you join with us to try to do something for

world, we tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a number of ways:
Challenging underlying attitudes and prevention
Awareness-raising
Lobbying and campaigning
Support and provision
Mothers’ Union is also part of Restored, an international Christian alliance working to transform
relationships and end violence against women. For more details, see www.restoredrelationships.org
Suggested ways to support the campaign during the 16 Days, are: Pray one or all of the following prayers :

may be feeling alone, frightened and friendless. May they know your love and feel your
presence in their time of adversity. Amen.
2. Lord, we pray for the safety of those suffering domestic abuse and thank you for
organisations that support them. We pray that perpetrators of violence will seek help to
change. Amen.
3. Lord, we thank you for keeping many of us safe from violence. We pray especially for the
women and girls across the world being raped in situations of war and conflict. Amen.
Write To Your MP – highlighting concerns about attitudes towards violence; provision for
victims/survivors; or current legal frameworks that should ensure justice.

ST NICHOLAS – another look at this much loved saint
The true story of Father Christmas, or Santa Claus, began with a man named Nicholas who was born
in the third century in the Greek village of Patara, on what is today the southern coast of Turkey. His
family were both devout and wealthy and, when his parents died in an epidemic, Nicholas decided to
use his inheritance to help people.
He gave to the needy, the sick, the suffering. He dedicated his whole life to God’s service, and was
made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. As a bishop, he joined other bishops and priests in
prison under the emperor Diocletian’s fierce persecution of Christians across the Roman Empire.
Finally released, Nicholas was not bitter, but all the more determined to shed abroad the news of
God’s love. He did so by giving. One story of his generosity explains why we hang Christmas
stockings over our mantelpieces today. There was a poor family with three daughters who needed
dowries if they were to marry, and not be sold into slavery. Nicholas heard of their plight, and tossed
8. three bags of gold into their home through an open window – thus saving the girls from a life of
misery.
The bags of gold landed in stockings or shoes left before the fire to dry. Hence the custom of children
hanging out stockings – in the hope of attracting presents of their own from St Nicholas - on
Christmas Eve. That is why three gold balls, sometimes represented as oranges, are one of the
symbols of St Nicholas.
The example of St Nicholas has never been forgotten - in bygone years boys in Germany and Poland
would dress up as bishops on 6th December, and beg alms for the poor. In the Netherlands and
Belgium ‘St Nicholas’ would arrive on a steamship from Spain to ride a white horse on his gift-giving
rounds. To this day, 6th December is still the main day for gift-giving and merry-making in much of
Europe. Many feel that simple gift-giving in early Advent helps preserve a Christmas Day focus on the
Christ Child.
[Many people seem uncertain of the origin of Father Christmas ‘St Nicholas’. Parish Pump had this
entry for his Saint Day]

“IN THE HANDS OF GOD” : A Eucharist for All Souls’ Day
Every year the Devon area branch of the Royal School of Church Music organizes a Festival Service
in Exeter Cathedral, inviting choir members from all the churches in the Diocese to take part.
My first memory of singing in this Service was when the Rev’d Alan Robinson was Vicar of Hooe and
went with us on a coach filled by choir members and friends from St John’s and St Mary’s. More
recently, Nan Dixon used to spend hours teaching the music to those who wished to take part and
filled her car with singers on the day. This year only three members of St Mary’s choir were able to go
nd
to the Service on All Souls’ Day, 2 November.
At 11.00am 257 singers assembled and rehearsed in the Cathedral until 12.45pm. After a lunch break
we rehearsed again until 3.30pm. The Service began at 4.00pm. We sang three well known hymns
(All my hope on God is founded, Alleluia sing to Jesus and All for Jesus). For the communion setting
we sang the Introit, Kyrie, Sanctus and Agnus Dei from Faure’s Requiem. We also sang a modern
version of Psalm 27 and anthems by Handel, Mozart, Stanley Marchant and Stephen Tanner.
The Service ended with a wonderful organ voluntary (Final from Symphonie No.1 by Vierne) by David
Davies, the Cathedral Organist.
Stephen Tanner, the Cathedral Assistant Organist and Director of Music at Exeter Cathedral School,
conducted the choir for the rehearsals and Service. He played a great part in producing a beautiful
Service and moving experience for everybody there. Why don’t you come with us next year?

CHRISTMAS WREATHS FOR UGANDAN CHARITY
st
December 1 is always a momentous day for it is a day when my Conservatory
will be full of holly, fir, poinsettia, Christmas roses, pine cones and ribbons. My
friends and I gather together, lots of laughter, lots of female chat and lots of
hard work. We love creating things of beauty from nature to give people
pleasure, to brighten their homes and to remember loved ones. We like to
provide you with a variety of choices, table decorations, wreaths and hanging
displays for the front door.
All the money raised will go to Nicola and Silas Tayebwa in Uganda. It could
help an out of work family pay their children’s school fees. It could help a widow with children to
purchase a sewing machine to set up a dress making business. It could help a family who had spent
their limited resources paying for medical treatment for the baby, not being able to pay their rent,
facing eviction from their home. They also provide a Credit Union and spread the Gospel in S W
Uganda.
Please help us to help them, help themselves.

13. AN ACT OF REMEMBRANCE AT BURROW HILL
At the 11th hour of the 11th month of 2013, over 150 people,
comprising of representatives from all the Armed Forces, the
Lord Mayor and other civic dignitaries, school children from
Goosewell Primary School, 6th formers from Plymstock and
Coombe Dean Schools, Police, Coastguards, ex-Servicemen
to-gether with the local community, came together at the War
Memorial at Burrow Hill, Plymstock, to remember those who
gave their lives in the 1st and 2nd World Wars, and also more
recently those who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It was a moving ceremony conducted by the Revd Terry
Freeman, a Retd Naval Chaplain, with the Standard Bearers
from the Royal British Legion, the Last Post and Reveille
played by David Mumford, the Goosewell School Choir
performing the song 'Remember' and finally the poem 'The
Soldier" by Rupert Brooke read by a Sixth Former from
Plymstock School.
Wreaths were then laid by all the various representatives
together with bunches of poppies from the schoolchildren and,
most poignantly, from the families of the Royal Marines who
lost their lives in Afghanistan.
Next year will be the centenary of the start of the 1st World War
and we will again be holding our Remembrance Service on the
11th day of the 11th month at our War Memorial at Burrow Hill.
It was highlighted at last week's Remembrance Service at
Burrow Hill War Memorial, Plymstock, that there is no disabled
access, and indeed access for wheelchair users and mothers
with pushchairs or just the elderly to visit the War Memorial. To
this end I have contacted Vivien Pengelly who attended the
Service and is the leader of the Tory Councillors. I requested that disabled access be made but also the site should be
levelled in order for it to be made more conducive and far safer for all who visit the Memorial. She has assured me that she
will speak with the necessary officers and departments to ensure that this work is carried out before the 11 th November,
2014. I would like to suggest to all who read the Parish News to write to their local Radford & Dunstone Ward Councillors
supporting this.
