Hello Everyone.
By the time you read this, all Easter eggs will have been hunted, coffee, wine,
chocolate etc been resumed after the Lent discipline. On we March into the glorious
month of May. I love the exuberance and freshness of May: the myriad of bright
Spring colours. The rich tapestry of the hedgerows and banks with the dog roses and
brambles promising us another abundance of fruit in the Autumn. Just along the A47
West there are apple orchards, that will soon be a sea of pink.
Of course, a lot of May has happened in April this year, Spring is probably about
three weeks earlier than last year. Bonus! Enjoy. Gina

TO ALL PARISHIONERS
TO ALL PARISHIONERS
Who does the Church belong to?
We have recently been successful in our bid for Heritage Lottery Grant Funding for
urgent repair works to one of our church buildings (congratulations East Walton!)
One of the questions on the HLF application form is: 'Who owns the building?' We
didn't actually have to answer this as for churches it's 'N/A - not applicable!
So who does the Church belong to? Well, that is an interesting question.
The Church (meaning a body of people who meet together regularly) belongs to those
who are part of it. The Church is a family or a fellowship. However it's not true to say
the Church belongs only to those who use it because the Church belongs to the
communities in which they are set.
In essence, your parish church belongs to you, in a very special way.
The Church of England offers services not only regular services (of all styles) every
week throughout the year but also for special occasions and those most important
moments in our lives. The Church has being here for everyone for generations and
has baptised, married and buried parishioners, being available not just to those who
regularly worship at church on a Sunday, but all parishioners. There are also
important celebrations at special times of the year that many people from our parishes
enjoy Easter, Christmas and Remembrance Sunday to name just a few.
And it's not just about church services, the Church can and does offer much more.
The Church is there for its community to offer support to everyone within the
geographical parish and the Rector or Vicar is available to everyone. The Church is
also a very special place where anyone can come to find a few moments of peace,
solitude and solace.
It's also good to remember just how much churches have contact in their communities.
Our work in schools is just one of the ways that church meets community and shows
our face to the world. We live in a time when, sadly, many people are turning away
from the church. I think it is so important that our younger generation grow up with the
knowledge that the Church is here for them and always will be at any time in their lives
should they wish to turn to it for friendship or support.
The Church has, and will continue, to provide a place for everyone - young, old and in
between and we look forward to serving you for a long time to come. After all what is
the Church here for?
Only a couple of weeks ago we celebrated Easter. I have in my mind a picture of that
man, Jesus, who hangs on a cross with arms outstretched, symbol of the love God has
for all humankind, and a constant reminder to me that the Church, and particularly
your Parish Church, is not just for 'the chosen few' but for all of you out there!
Who does the church belong to? It belongs to you because you belong.
With love Revd Jane

From the Trustees of Gayton Jubilee Hall
As reported in last Month's "Voice", the Trustees and its Members held its public
Annual General Meeting on the evening of 12th April. Unfortunately, whether due to
Easter holidays or lack of enthusiasm, the turnout was poor and has repercussions for
the success of the hall's continuance.
The reports presented were from the "Knit and Natter" group, Treasurer of Trustees
and Chair of Trustees, who's report will be presented to the Parish Council AGM in
May.
The hall will benefit for a further year from the continued service of the current
Trustees, all of whom give their time to support such a significant resource for the
villages of Gayton and Gayton Thorpe. The Trustees urge and would welcome all
villagers to consider the use of this worthy and affordable facility.
The recent Easter Bingo was a great success and the monies are put towards the fund
for the upkeep of the hall, which is building slowly and to invest in the next big venture,
the Summer Fayre. The date to book in your calendar is 19 August and it will be held
on the playing field beside the Social Club, who have kindly allowed us the use of their
facilities. We will have news of stalls, activities and food events in the next "Voice"
magazine.
Call to help
There are to be announcements on the change of current classes using the hall and
all will be updated on our on-line calendar and Voice as soon as we have fixed events
to advise upon, so watch this space!
We have an online calendar to make it easier for you to book an event at the Village
Hall. It's really easy to check whether the date you want is available. Just go online
and view the Hall calendar at htpp://tinyurl.com/gjvhall You can check months or
even years ahead! If the date you want is free, just contact Paul on 01553636717 or
07944341309 to make a booking. As soon as you have made the booking, it will be
added to the calendar, and be reserved for you. For confidentiality reasons, no real
names are added to the calendar, just the type of event.

Our guest speaker at our March meeting was Antony Sims from Waitrose who gave
a talk on the John Lewis/Waitrose partnership. In the Partnership, permanent
employees are Partners which means they all own the business and share in its
success. We also heard that employees who had achieved 25years received 6
months' annual leave. Several members wondered why they hadn't started their
working days at Waitrose!
During our refreshment break we sampled cider which had originated from the
company's Leckford Farm Estate in Hampshire. The farm also supplies milk,
mushrooms, free-range eggs and chickens.

Village Sports
West Norfolk Community Sports has agreed that there will not be a West Norfolk
Village Games day in 2017 due to the reducing numbers of teams entering and the
need to evolve the event to freshen it up. It has been discussed and agreed that we
want to continue offering a Village Games competition as it is a valuable way of
bringing rural communities together and providing fun and an active competition to
those who might not normally take part in a team sport. The proposed new format is
to have stand alone activities run on specific dates throughout the year, either at
Alive Lynnsport or at different venues within West Norfolk.
They will be fun events so you don't need to be an expert and events involve adults
and children. It is all FREE to enter. Teams are a maximum of 3 adults and 3
children (usually aged 8 or above). To keep the competition element, there will be a
prize at each event but also an overall winning prize for the village team that wins
overall.
The first event, archery, will take place on Sunday 14 May from 10am-2pm
and we need 3 adults and 3 children to make up the GLEAM Team.
If you would like to represent the GLEAM team (you need to live in the parish
of Gayton/Gayton Thorpe, Leziate, East Winch, Ashwicken or Middleton),
please email or telephone to let me know.

Donation to WaterAid.
Probably because they hadn't drunk their
coffee at that stage, the congregation donated
91.60 to WaterAid - a wonderful amount!
This money -raising week starts on Sunday, 14th May. If you get an envelope with
your magazine and wish to contribute, please take your envelope to the post office,
drop it in at the church or give it to Wendy Smith or Nell Steele.

Informing the Parish Council of matters which concern you.
The Parish Council has to act as a body, which means that individual councillors
cannot make promises which haven't been agreed, and a vote needs to be taken
about any action that has been considered.
It is difficult to hold a long discussion about anything councillors did not expect,
and unless an item is on the agenda, other members of the public may not be
aware that a concern has been raised.
So, unless a matter is particularly urgent, please inform a councillor or the clerk at
least 10 days before a meeting
And Finally....
Someone threw a bottle of Omega 3 capsules at me today.Luckily my injuries
were only super fish oil!
