THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

When the Coronavirus lockdown was first announced, and home-
schooling our two children was imminent, we placed an order with a
company specialising in insects, for some caterpillars to be delivered!
For the past few years, we’ve enjoyed watching the miracle of
metamorphosis, and we thought this would provide us with a fascinating
science lesson in amongst learning about conjunctions and the
properties of triangles!
The postman kindly knocked on the front door, left the parcel on the mat
and stood back the appropriate distance, as has become the norm for us
all these past few weeks. I opened the front door, smiled and gave him
the thumbs-up, and welcomed our new residents inside.

When the caterpillars arrive, they are tiny and very inactive. The
bottom of the cup which is to be their home for the next week or so, is
covered with a paste-like substance which is their food. As the days
pass, they eat. And eat. And eat. And eat a bit more! It always reminds
me of the delightful book ‘The Enormous caterpillar’ which our children
loved when they were little! The caterpillars become more active over
time and wriggle here and there, until eventually after 7-10 days they
move to a paper disc at the top of the cup, hang upside down and harden
into chrysalides. You then move them into a special pop up butterfly
habitat, and there they wait. And wait. And wait.
As time has ticked by, I’ve come to realise just how similar the passing
of our days, and those of the caterpillars, are at the present time. We
stay in our homes. We eat! And we wait. In the same way that the
chrysalides are patiently waiting to complete the transformation to
beautiful adult butterflies, and then spread their wings, so we too at the
moment are waiting to fly free.
The whole world is waiting anxiously - waiting to see when we can
finally begin to return to some sort of ‘normality’. And whilst we wait in
these difficult, distressing, unprecedented times, it has become apparent
that glimpses of real beauty appear to be more visible than ever before
in our lives too. Rainbows are appearing in windows across the world
as a symbol of hope. Telephones are being used to contact not only our
nearest and dearest, but also those who were less familiar to us in our
roads and closes – those who may be in need of a chat or some
shopping. Communities are pulling together and looking out for one
another in new and imaginative ways, and those leaders and keyworkers
who are working on the frontline are demonstrating such amazing
commitment, strength and compassion whilst working in some of the
most difficult times our world has ever seen.
These are indeed scary times. No doubt we have all experienced
feelings of fear and uncertainty over the past few weeks, wondering
how we will find the strength to get through this. But in the midst of it
all, we have one constant – our Father God in heaven. In Isaiah 41:10,
we are told

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your
God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my
righteous right hand.”
God is with us, every moment of the day and night. We are never alone.
When we listen to the news, when we are worried about our loved ones,
He is with us. When we can’t seem to settle to anything productive,
when we can’t sleep, when we are lonely or when we are overwhelmed
by the constancy of our home environments, He is with us. When we
struggle to utter our prayers, because we just don’t know how to put our
feelings into words, He is with us. When we cry out for this situation
and suffering to end, He is with us. We are never alone. He understands
our despair and He cares for us, promising that He will strengthen and
help us. Like our butterflies, the time to spread our wings and fly free
will eventually come. Until then, we try to wait patiently and pray,
resting in the knowledge that God is in control of every situation we
face, and will never leave us – “So do not fear, for I am with you”.

EASTER WAS A TRIUMPH and its spirit continues

Easter was planned, there was to be a sunrise walk, an Easter breakfast,
we would laugh while egg rolling, children would hunt for mini Easter
eggs amongst the spring flowers in the churchyard, and we would all
sing our praises on Easter Sunday. Instead, on Monday 23rd March
lockdown began. The nation’s churches were closed and its people were
told by the government to stay at home.

The thought of an empty Easter church was inconceivable; not to mark
Good Friday, the holiest of days, and not to joyously celebrate the rising
of our Lord Jesus together on Easter Sunday, simply inconceivable. We
had to adapt, and adapt quickly; because coronavirus was not going to
stop All Saints Kesgrave’s Easter, nor stop us worshipping as a church
family.

Zoom Church was Ollie Scase’s idea. We sat in a ministry meeting as
Ollie told us we could all be online together from our own homes, the
whole congregation, seeing each other’s faces, holding a service, like
one big Skype call. He told us Zoom could accommodate 100 laptop
and mobile phone connections, potentially 100 families all together.
Robin was very excited! And from Ollie’s small acorn of hope, a whole
Easter grew.

It was amazing to witness All Saint’s Easter. 56 laptops enabled 91
people to come together on Easter Sunday in praise. And wasn’t it just
wonderful to see everyone’s faces! We waved to each other, blew kisses,
and people called out to others on their screens, ‘hello’, ‘love you’,
‘miss washing up with you’. It was just so moving to be together, with
God. There were tears in eyes, smiles on faces, and no one wanted to
leave at the end! It was beautiful.

But that was only a fraction of our Easter 2020. Egg rolling happened:
children decorated kitchen roll cardboard tubes and used them to roll
chocolate mini eggs down garden slides, across shiny kitchen floors,
and laughed happily as they watched each other’s attempts on their
parents’ computer screens.

Via Facebook, Jennie regularly had children creating with lego,
colouring Easter eggs, and building mini Easter gardens complete with a
Cross, tomb, boulder and flowers. On Palm Sunday Jennie led us all in
creating our own Palm Crosses from paper, some of these were later
coloured in and shown on our Facebook page.

Our Good Friday service saw 32 people gather via Zoom to hear seven
five-minute talks on the ‘seven words from the Cross’: Forgiveness,
Heaven, Family, Isolation, Deep Longing, Salvation and Trust. This was
a beautiful, quiet and moving service, interspersed with traditional
Easter hymns, most befitting of Good Friday.

Throughout Easter, and beyond, Robin continued with his reassuring,
supportive and encouraging ‘Thought for the Times’ live streams. These
can be found on our Facebook page and website if you haven’t already
seen them. There have been many comments from viewers, all echoing
one thought, ‘Thank you Robin for your supportive words and
presence’.

Easter saw two Maundy Thursday Bible studies on the meaning of
Passover, what the food symbolises, and how the message applies to our
current situation.

Zoom Bible Studies are proving increasingly popular. Following two
Bible Study evenings during early lockdown, Robin decided to hold a
further Bible Study evening entitled ‘The Road to Emmaus’. This
proved so popular that three sessions were needed, and these were
attended by 28 participants.

But what of our furry parishioners, not to be left out on Sunday 19th
April we held our Zoom Pet Service, attended by many dogs, hamsters
and Midnight the lamb. I’m told the cats were still in bed! Again 54
laptops: 71 adults and 11 children. Brilliant. And we went international
with Anna joining in from Armenia, and a family watching from

Romania. One of the children’s songs was sent to us from Brighton. All
Saints continues to spread its wings and the message of God, even
during lockdown.
As I write, our first Zoom Messy Church is taking place. The children,
parents and carers will love seeing each other again, and fun with
friends will mean so much. It is so important this fellowship, friendship,
support and unity continues. I hear the children will be making ‘under
the sea’ sensory bottles (or flamingo paddling pools!), origami frogs,
will be hearing words of wisdom from Robin after watching a clip from
‘The Secret Life of Pets’, there will be singing and bubble prayers will
be sent to God. Well done Jennie Fidler, and thank you for a super
creative session of smiles.

There are other events and services being planned for Zoom; it seems
there’s no stopping us now!
Our church building is closed but our church has proven itself very
much alive and open these past weeks. Our ministers are preaching most
beautifully, we have a very strong IT team making church accessible
wherever possible, Jennie’s prayers have been beautiful, our children
thoroughly included and encouraged. And best of all, you are all turning
up online! Wonderful. For those unable to connect via Zoom, there are
more emails going out and the Newsletter continues, so we hope
everyone feels included and a cherished part of our family. And should
you want to try Zoom, full instructions are on our website, or just give
us a call for help.

Isolation, lockdown and a virus were not enough to close our church .
Our collective Easter spirit proved to be creative, inspiring, indomitable,
and our great love for God, for Jesus, won. We saw Faith in action as a
congregation moved online, proving a real desire to be together to
worship our Lord. And we see our Christian spirit very much alive in
the obvious love for each other during this strange and difficult time.

Robin asked me to share this email sent from a parishioner:

Dear Robin and All Saints

Wishing you well. My prayers and thoughts are with you and the
congregation.

Stay strong and God bless
Thank you so much for all you do!!

Xxxxx

We will not forget what happened this Easter; on the 23rd March 2020
our church was closed, at Easter it rose again. And as the sun shone
brightly, our church family smiled at each other and love shone out.
Dark days come, but the message of Easter lives: Love, Hope and
Resurrection.

“He is risen!” “He has risen, indeed!”

PRAYERS

Whilst we are locked in our houses and perhaps feel helpless, where
doing our bit by doing nothing seems counter-intuitive, we can achieve
much through prayer. Prayer at this time is hugely important, as it is
through prayer that the current difficulties will be resolved.

Each Wednesday a group of people in the church pray for people we
know who are in need, for our church and what's going on in the World.
Over the last few weeks this has moved from a service in Church to
shared prayers by email, making people anonymous where appropriate.
This has become very popular, as a way for many more people to join in
doing something to make a difference. Prayer requests (for anything) are
sent to [email protected] or phoned in on 07857 838678

by Tuesday evening, and John puts them together in a respectful
structure to bcc to everyone who can receive the email prayers so we
can all join in the same prayers. Praying together for the same things has
a special importance and significance.

"Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount
of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city. When they arrived, they
went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were
Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and
Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son
of James. They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the
women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers." Acts 1:
12-14

Please contact John if you would like to send and/or receive these
weekly prayers. Just send in whatever is on your heart, don't worry
about using perfect English, and remember to make anonymous if
appropriate.

With thanks, John

ROBIN’S INTERVIEW WITH BBC RADIO SUFFOLK

If you were up early and listening to radio Suffolk on Easter Sunday
morning you will have heard Robin speaking to Luke Deal about how
All Saints Kesgrave is coping during the covid 19 pandemic.

During the 7.40 a.m, interview Robin explained that while the church
building is closed and people are unable to meet, contact, prayer and
worship is still going on, albeit through telephone, email and internet.

He praised the number of people who are contacting others to offer help
or chat to those isolated at home. He mentioned our Mothers' Union
who are sharing the task of keeping in touch by 'phone and thanked
Debbie McCullam for organising many helpers in reaching out to those
needing help with anything, including shopping, dog walking or simply
a listening ear.

If you have other thoughts on how we can help during this crisis, please
'phone Robin with your ideas.

Rev. Chris

LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus' tells us: "Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is
like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" (22:37-39).

The Biblical directive is crystal clear, we should love and care for our
neighbour.

It has been heartening to witness All Saints church, and indeed
Kesgrave as a whole, pull together during this coronavirus lockdown.

Sometimes loving one's neighbours is not always the easiest thing to do.
However, by keeping the two commandments in their proper order,
fulfilment of the first commandment naturally leads to the fulfillment of
the other, for a heart filled with love for God naturally overflows.

I have seen of a lot of kindness lately: people spreading joy in many
ways, and offering help and friendship to those shielding; children
leaving brightly painted pebbles in the grass ‘We are in this together’. I
hear of people visiting the front gardens of those shielding to wave, to
smile face-to-face, and offer human contact albeit at a safe distance.
There are people decorating stranger’s front gardens with birthday
bunting, ‘If you have a birthday in the family let me know, and I’ll pop
by and hang my bunting up as a surprise’ – how lovely is that.

Today I read an article in a newspaper saying, ‘Facebook friends can’t
bring you toilet rolls’ but oh my I have to disagree! On Kesgrave
Community Facebook Page I have seen people asking for special brands
of baby food, nappies, a pot of compost for a precious plant, six seed
potatoes for their grandad, their grass to be cut, and toilet rolls, and all
these requests were met with gracious offers, pleasant comments, a

smile, and the items being delivered to the doors, no charge, just a
‘we’re in this together spirit’. Marvellous.

At ministry meetings I hear, ‘has anyone had any contact with ….?’To
which the answer is always ‘yes’. The team is amazed at the sheer
amount of pastoral support being shared within our church family.

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, we could have all just
hunkered down scared, and focused on keeping ourselves and our
family safe. But we haven’t. We have shown our love for our
neighbours by respecting social distancing to keep them safe, while
offering help, forging new friendships, and exploring new ways of
communicating.

For many it feels horribly wrong not to visit with family, and we suffer
pangs of guilt leaving an elderly or vulnerable relative or friend alone;
how grateful we are to those neighbours who show love and kindness.
How grateful we are for the rhubarb from the allotment left on our
mum’s doorstep, the friendly smile and wave grandad receives as he
looks out his window, the evening phone call dad received from ‘the
man up the road’. To be remembered, to receive a smile, can make such
a difference.

Be brave and phone someone you have never phoned before. Drop off a
packet of biscuits perhaps with a note saying these are a hug in disguise!

Love your neighbour by praying for them. Pray, pray, pray. A national
and international crisis is an opportunity to pray, to connect deeper to
God, develop prayer, develop your relationship with God, and to find
new ways to show your love for others.

Maybe also think technology, I have a 91-year-old relative who
surprised me this week with, ‘Perhaps we should WhatsApp?’ I’d only
ever phoned her and sent her letters. Within minutes we were sharing
photos by email and Facebook and having a lovely catch up – alas, she
was far more modern than me, I haven’t mastered WhatsApp yet!

This is the time to reimagine Jesus’ command to love our neighbour, be
inventive, creative, seek new ways to engage. I am hopeful that these

days of quarantine and social distancing will eventually end. I’m also
hopeful that what we learn during lockdown will continue to bear great
fruit further down the road.

THE ASK JOURNAL
Life During Lockdown!
We are all finding life in Lockdown a bit of a strain. However, we have
been blessed with our wonderful Kesgrave community spirit and our
Zoom services which have been such a joy for us, seeing everyone’s
faces.
I spoke to a couple of our loved members of the congregation about
what life was like for them during this time of self-isolation. Especially
if you live alone and have no computer access. When I rang one
member, she had to ring me back as she was in the loft having a sort
out! We are all doing that aren’t we?
Not seeing family is hardest and the longing for a cuddle from beloved
grandchildren. But everyone has their routine and are determined to

keep going, ‘I put my perfume on every morning because if you don’t
have a routine, you are on the slippery slope, aren’t you?’

Regular phone calls to our Thursday congregation and chats on the
phone are keeping people going, along with jigsaws and gardening.
They said each day has to have a purpose and we just have to get on!

Doris said she finds some days more difficult than others. She says how
much she loves the congregation and appreciates all the love of the
people who have supported her during sad and happy days and can’t
wait to see everyone and peel lots of potatoes! She loves jigsaws and a
bit of TV, especially Endeavour and she enjoyed the Radio Suffolk and
they played, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone!’ ( I think it reminds her of
Robin!)

Doris is most excited to go to Felixstowe, have fish and chips and see
the sea when this is all over! Shall we all go with her?

Eileen said she thinks of Matthew 6:34, ‘Therefore do not worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself.’ A wise biblical text for
us all to ponder.

Stay strong and stay in, and we will all be together again!

Love and prayers

LONELINESS

Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8)

A message to those who are feeling ‘a bit lonely’, and yearning to see
loved ones. Perhaps this is a new feeling for you, brought on by
lockdown and isolation. This feeling can hit anyone. We want to
promise you, God is always with you, and the more you reach out to
Him the nearer He will draw to you.

In the Bible we see David suffered from loneliness, and his cries to God
are recorded in the Psalms:

Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve
the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. Look on my
affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. May integrity and
uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in You. Psalm 25:16-
21

Scripture also tells us that Jesus experienced loneliness. On the cross,
He cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark
15:34). And in Isaiah 53:3, we read, “He was despised and rejected by
mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from
whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low
esteem.” Jesus can empathize with the pain of loneliness because he
experienced it.

When lonely, reading Scripture can be a great source of comfort. God’s
word reminds us that, despite our loneliness, we are His beloved
children and we are never alone:

- Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil, for You are with me (Psalm 23:4)

- Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified, for the Lord
your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you
(Deuteronomy 31:6)

- For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor
demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither
height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to
separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord
(Romans 8:38-39)

- Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what
you have, because God has said “Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5) ,

So in the quietude of isolation know that you can be still and draw near
to God. Speak to Him in whichever way you feel most comfortable; in
prayer, or perhaps just tell Him how you are feeling as you make a cup
of tea. God wants to hear from you. He is always by your side, ready to
listen and support. He loves you; you are His son or daughter.

You can talk to God whenever, however much you like, if it’s a lovely
sunny day thank Him for it, if you are fed up tell Him why; He wants
you to talk to Him. It may seem strange at first talking to God regularly
as you would a friend, but try it, it will surely bring you comfort.

SUPPORT LINES

doesn’t matter how much the sun shines, sometimes we just want to talk
to another human being. If you feel in need of a chat, are lonely, or have
any other concerns, a friendly team of people are waiting to hear from
you. Please just call! We will set you up with the best person from our

St Elizabeth Hospice News Release

HERE TOGETHER: TODAY AND
TOMORROW

St Elizabeth Hospice launches urgent appeal for support

While preparing to cope with the impact of Coronavirus on its end of
life care and bereavement services over the coming weeks, St Elizabeth
Hospice has launched an urgent appeal to the public to support their
local hospice in light of all fundraising events being postponed and all
31 retail shops closing.

The clinical staff at St Elizabeth are working in partnership with the
NHS and partners at speed to significantly expand our services both in
the community and at the hospice in response to Coronavirus, whilst

continuing to care for patients with non-Covid end of life and palliative
care needs.

A new rapid response co-ordination centre has been created in the past
week to cope with the expected increase in demand for clinical advice
and end of life care in the community, doubling the capacity of the
hospice’s existing OneCall telephone advice helpline.

Last year, the hospice cared for over 3,000 Suffolk patients and their
families at a cost of £10.5m, of which 75% was raised by the
community through the shops and local fundraising – income-
generating activities which are now impossible due to social distancing
and self-isolation.

Chief Executive Ru Watkins has called on the local community to
support the hospice’s new “Here Together” appeal to highlight the role
of St Elizabeth at the clinical frontline of the current pandemic and to
make sure that its end of life care can continue unaffected when the
crisis is over: “Every family who has come into contact with our
consultants, doctors, nurses, carers and volunteers over the years knows
how dedicated they are to our local community. We are still here with
our patients delivering the care they need today so ask everyone to
support our efforts together.”

With all fundraising events postponed or cancelled, many supporters
are looking for alternative ways to support the hospice. As local
supporter Wendy Goddard says, “St Elizabeth Hospice was there for me
and my family when my daughter Zoe sadly passed away and their
support was outstanding. Last month I was due to hold a Charity Night
for 300 people to raise funds to support the hospice but sadly this has
had to be postponed. I would ask you to do what you can in this time of
need to support our local hospice together.”

The “Here Together” appeal is being launched across the hospice’s
social media platforms to raise awareness of St Elizabeth’s frontline
role in continuing to care for some of Suffolk’s most vulnerable patients
throughout the pandemic and our shared commitment as a community
to protecting its vital services today and tomorrow.

To donate to the appeal, visit the hospice Just Giving appeal page
https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/SEHCoronavirusAppeal or call
the hospice on 01473 723600.

To find out how to get involved or fundraise for us then please contact
your local representative, Community Fundraiser Jo Beattie.

Tel: 07827 835 695 Email: [email protected]

St Elizabeth Hospice improves life for people in east Suffolk and Great
Yarmouth and Waveney, living with a progressive or terminal illness.
Our work is centred on an individual's needs, which means specialist
support, whenever and wherever it is needed, whether at home, in the
community or at the hospice. Through medicine and therapy we ease
pain; we give life purpose and make life liveable.

OneCall clinical and medical advice line

OneCall is the hospice telephone line for clinical or medical advice
about your illness. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a
week.

We can advise regarding the sudden and unexpected onset of symptoms
or difficulties relating to illness. We can give advice over the telephone,
or liaise with other healthcare professionals such as your GP, district
nurse or out of hours service to coordinate care. If required, we may
come and visit you at home.

The number is 0800 56 70 111. This phone number is for enquiries
relating to illness, it is not a general information line.

ASK WEBSITE
