ALL SAINTS KESGRAVE NEWSLETTER ISSUE NO 103 – 23.07.23 August-September 2023 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Since I was little and had to stand on a chair to reach the worktop in the kitchen, I’ve always enjoyed baking, and just recently I’ve been making a lot of ‘Miracle no-knead bread’! The whole family loves the smell and the taste of a freshly baked loaf, and so most Fridays I get out my large bowl and cast-iron casserole dish and get weighing and mixing. The ingredients and method are really simple – combine the flour, salt, a very small amount of yeast and some water into a messy, lumpy mass,
cover and leave overnight! At first I wasn’t sure it would work as usually with breadmaking there’s a lot of kneading, proofing, rising and proofing required to turn out a half decent loaf. But the results were amazing – it really was miracle bread! As I came down the next morning, the smell of yeast permeated the whole kitchen and when I lifted off the cover, the dough was bubbling away and had risen three quarters of the way up the bowl! After gently shaping it into a ball, and popping it into a hot oven, I was rewarded with the most wonderful ‘crusty on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside’ loaf! This ‘miracle loaf’ reminded me of the bible passage in Luke- “What shall I compare the Kingdom of God to? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.” (Luke 13:20) The packet of yeast that I used contained such tiny granules, and the recipe called for such a small amount, that I had wondered how it could be enough to make my bread rise. But when mixed with the other ingredients and patiently left for long enough in the right conditions, the effects spread through the entire dough, until the whole thing was alive, and a mighty loaf was produced! In the beginning, the ministry of Jesus started small. But along with his twelve disciples, Jesus told more and more people about God until that knowledge spread throughout the world. And in the same way that yeast makes dough rise from the inside out, we too have the potential to make great changes within our own lives and those of our families and communities. When we welcome God into our hearts and lives, and pray and read God’s Word, we grow spiritually and are gradually changed. By his grace we are able to show more love, kindness and thoughtfulness to others and spread the Good News of the gospel. Our words, choices and actions may sometimes seem small in isolation, but over time can have a far-reaching impact. Just like the yeast in the bread, a little really does go a long way!

RECENT NOTABLE EVENTS: BAPTISM 02/07/2023 - Dexter Ginseppe INFANTINO FUNERAL 02/06/2023 - Wilfrid BRADLEY TIME FOR REST August is the month for holidays with schools closed and many businesses shut down for a while. How do you spend your annual holiday? Lots of people rush to get away, facing delays in trains, ports and airports. Some will be touring – trying to visit as many places as they can. Others will be driving to a hotel, B&B or caravan by the sea. I recently heard someone say, ‘I’ve had such a busy holiday that I need a rest to recover.’ Is this what holidays are for? Surely we should be taking the opportunity to slow down, have some rest and relaxation, take time to look around at the beauty of nature that surrounds us?

There are lovely places here in Suffolk but do we have time to visit them? We all need the chance to stop and smell the roses or watch a butterfly on a bush. Even Jesus needed a rest. The Bible gives us several instances where he tried to get away from the crowds – going up a mountain, into the wilderness, or on a boat; but people followed him and didn’t let him rest. Being Jesus, he took pity on all who wanted help or advice and did without peace and quiet. We don’t need to give up a little ‘me’ time. Everyone deserves an occasional hour or even a day of peace and quiet to prepare us for the next busy day. However you spend your holiday I hope it’s enjoyable and you return to work refreshed and ready for the next challenge. Reverend Chris Nunn SUFFOLK RIDE AND STRIDE FUNDRAISING DAY: Saturday 9th September 2023 -ALL SAINTS KESGRAVE Suffolk Historic Churches Trust (SHCT) 50th Anniversary 1973-2023 Ride+Stride is a wonderful way to enjoy getting out and about safely as well as raising much-needed funds to support Grant applications from churches and chapels across the country. Half the money raised by each participant goes to SHCT which then disperses it in Grants* and half comes back to the church of your choice eg All Saints Kesgrave! *Our church received a SHCT grant towards the Lighting Project in 2021.
If you're someone who enjoys walking or cycling and exploring the remarkable churches in Suffolk, we invite you to join this exciting event! You can find detailed information about the event on our website: https://ridestride.org/ Additionally, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in welcoming participants here at All Saints Kesgrave, handling sign-up forms, and providing well-deserved refreshments such as tea, coffee, and biscuits to the striders as they journey from one church to another. You'll find the rota sheet conveniently located near the font at the church. Please consider sparing an hour of your time and adding your name to the volunteer rota. Your help will be sincerely valued. Thank you in advance for your kind support! MOTHERS’ UNION Our next meeting is on Tuesday 26th September, 2-15pm at all Saints Kesgrave.

Helen Wittgreffe Churchwarden & Elder All Saints Little Bealings 07825 004585 ABSOLUTELY DIVINE CAFÉ, LITTLE BEALINGS – AUG/SEPT OPENING AND VOLUNTEERS Our Wednesday café at All Saints Little Bealings has been running almost four months now and we are delighted to have welcomed many of you. We’ve thoroughly embraced Italian week, Greek week, churchmade vegetable lasagne, Ellen’s wonderful cakes, lemons, garlic, super salads, mozzarella, brie, caramelized onions, mascarpone, and we aim to very much live up to our name producing absolutely divine meals with warm company. If you haven’t visited yet, we’d love to see you. We are thrilled by the sense of community and joy in the café. For those of you that are unable to visit us midweek, we are hosting a Saturday Special on the 19th August. There will be cream teas, churchmade quiches, churchmade sausage rolls, Ellen’s wonderful cakes, our famous salads, and no doubt more! Do pop in, we are open 10.30am to 4pm. This event will be our last café before a much needed summer break for our volunteers.
We will then close from 23rd August to 20th Sept (inclusive), re-opening after Harvest weekend with our new ‘Autumn Wednesdays’ menu. For September’s re-opening we need additional volunteers. Could you join us to bring community, joy, friendship and warmth to our Wednesday customers? Can you wash up, clear tables? Or would you rather serve coffee from our coffee machine and take orders at the till? The work is busy over the lunchtime period but great fun. Ideally I am seeking people who can volunteer most weeks, or alternate weeks, between 11.15am and 2.15pm. I can assure you that you will make so many new friends. We are proud to be rated 5-star by East Suffolk Council, and this means adhering to Food Safety Agency rules, so there’s training needed on allergens, cross-contamination, washing up rules, etc., but that’s easily covered. Mainly its just being part of our friendly team who just love feeding and serving joy. We’d love to have you on board. To volunteer or find out more please contact Helen on [email protected], or on 07825 004585. Helen Wittgreffe – Absolutely Divine Café Lead ALPHA COURSE STARTS 5TH OCTOBER – STAY CURIOUS! Stay Curious is the current strapline for Alpha and at first I thought it rather odd, but it’s stuck in my brain, so perhaps it works. After all, faith is a journey and we should remain curious as we explore and enjoy a journey. I challenge you to Stay Curious this autumn/early winter, and join us to learn more about Alpha and why it is packing city churches across the
nation and indeed the world. The current Alpha Film Series was filmed in 2016 and is designed to take the audience on an epic journey exploring the basics of Christian faith. It features inspiring stories and interviews from all around the world, from leading DNA scientists, hardened criminals, highly successful entrepreneurs who had everything money could buy and yet still felt empty and that there had to be more to life, from Queens Counsel lawyers, adventurer Bear Grylls, and quotes from Freddie Mercury and other music legends. It makes us think. Alpha is aimed at those sitting on the fence regarding faith, and those who don’t believe, however those who took the course with me, longstanding members of this congregation, found it changed them. It inspired us, gave us an absolute desire to be disciples, to serve, to bring others to faith. So whether you are new to faith, have unanswered questions, want to know more, are longstanding Christians, or are just curious, we welcome you to join us for our third Alpha course. The course will be run by Elders Helen Wittgreffe and Carolyn Lemay on Thursday evenings from 5th October at Little Bealings Church, we will share coffee, cake, a laugh, stories, enjoy these 25-minute films and then discuss them in a positive and inspiring way. Coffee will be served from 7.15pm, film starts at 7.30pm, finish 9pm. It is envisaged the course will run for 11-12 weeks. To book a place, please contact Helen Wittgreffe on [email protected] or 07825 004585, or speak to Carolyn Lemay at ASK. RIDE & STRIDE – LITTLE BEALINGS Ride+ Stride is the single largest source of income for many Historic Churches Trusts enabling them to make grants. As a church that has recently benefitted from several grants to renovate our building, All Saints
Church Little Bealings are keen to show our appreciation by again taking part in this year’s event. This year, Francis Mutimer will lead a walk between 4 or 5 (tbc) rural churches, usually these are Little Bealings, Great Bealings, Playford, Culpho, and sometimes Tuddenham and Kesgrave; however, Francis always has a surprise up his sleeve and we wait to discover his plan! For now, we just wanted to advise there will be a wonderful walk through the Fynn Valley on Saturday 9th September, and we will get back to you with details shortly.

If thou hast much, give plenteously; if thou hast little, do thy diligence gladly to give of that little; for so gatherest thou thyself a good reward in the day of necessity.

If at any time you or someone you know are in need of prayer, we have an active prayer ministry who would love to pray for you. We believe that God answers all of our prayers, as he loves us dearly and knows just what we need. We have seen God work in so many different ways through the prayer ministry. Please do not hesitate to contact if you feel this can help.

If you would like your prayer included, please use the same contact as above stating "For Wednesday prayers", or both Wednesday Prayers and Prayer Chain if appropriate. All information is considered private to those who take part in the prayers. If, however, you feel something is very sensitive, please mention this and we will make the prayers anonymous before they go out- God still knows who you mean! If you would like a private prayer with a minister, you can request this and we will work something out for you. If for any reason John is unavailable, please contact one of our ministry team as in our contacts list. "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 John Wittgreffe, Elder THOUGHT AND PRAYER FROM MARY There can be times in our lives when we feel low or troubled or not at peace. Whatever the reason, sometimes it's hard to know how to help ourselves and it's even difficult to know how to ask God to help us - indeed our prayers may end up being no more than, 'Help me Lord". Psalm 46.1 tells us that, 'God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble'. I've found that God always responds to a, 'Help me out here Lord' prayer, even if the way in which he helps is not always the expected way! He loves us and cares about us more than we can ever comprehend.
Prayer: Dear Lord, when we are feeling helpless, please give us your strength. When we are troubled, please give us your peace. When we feel low, please reassure us of your great love for us. Amen.
