Today we begin our #meettheteam with Bill Newman, Today we begin our #meettheteam with Bill Newman, Abbey Churchwarden:- I was born all of eight miles away in Hinton- on -the -green where my family had market gardened and farmed for several generations finishing at Manor Farm. In 1844 William Newman was awarded by the Vale of Evesham Agricultural Society the sum of £3-on the recommendation of his employer at the Manor-as having placed seven of children in respectable employment whilst maintaining for himself a good character. This st the farm we finally retired from. My involvement with the church began with Sunday School, until Sept 1959 when the Rector, the Rev Champion( grandfather of Richard) came to the village school picked 6 boys to form a boy’s choir- no audition needed!! Within three years I was the only one left, but before I could retire I was asked to carry the processional Cross, which I did for the next 57 years. I had the privilege of being taught to ring by one of the strongest bands in the Shires, in the days when the band then robed to form the Choir; not so common these days. Whilst doing a bit of farming and a few odd jobs in the Church, such as following my Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather( who after 30 plus years acquired the nickname of Holy Joe) as churchwarden I had the great good fortune to marry Julie in 1968 and we have four children, including twin boys. Our choice of retirement home was Pershore where Julie’s Great Grandfather was Verger for 46 years, and where his son John was a ringer until he fell in WW1. I had been confirmed in the Abbey in 1954, presented by the Rev Champion and had first rung the Abbey bells in a full peak on the newly re- hung bells, so we felt we had come home. Some special people feel the ‘call’ to Ministry, but I think my faith must have come from absorption rather than revelation, but either way we are proud of our commitment to our Abbey

We have a full itinerary of #ve75 events for this We have a full itinerary of #ve75 events for this Friday 8th May which we are busy working hard on behind the scenes. This includes our own events as well as national ones which we have scheduled for you. Please do share this with your friends who may be interested . Why not make your own Union flag or create a display in your home? We would love to see photos if you do to help us document how #pershore commemorated VE75 during lockdown. Our external display will be at St Andrew’s from 10am on Friday so please do take a look if you are passing on your daily exercise. If not then we will post photos on here at 10am. We ask that people do not touch anything on display to limit the risk of infection but do tag us in your photos. Although the main war memorial sadly can’t be accessed, we have 3 external memorials close by if you want to pay your respects. The Town Clock is a lasting tribute to those who died during WW2, the Commemorative Garden dedicated to all those who have served our country and the new WarHorse memorial is dedicated to all the animals who have served. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Here at #pershoreabbeycommunity we have made prepa Here at #pershoreabbeycommunity we have made preparations for a virtual #ve75 commemoration. Events that had been planned inside #pershoreabbey including a concert and a service with local schools have had to be cancelled along with national events due to the social distancing guidelines. The organisers of VE75 are asking people undertake the #nationstoast to the Heroes of #ww2 at 3pm on Friday 8th May from their own homes. Meanwhile Local BBC radio are encouraging people to make their own #greatbritishbunting As well as supporting these, we are asking that people consider making their own Union flag or decorate their houses as a mark of respect for all those who suffered or lost their lives during the Second World War. One member has already used the lockdown summer weather to paint a wall of Remembrance in her garden. In conjunction with the Facebook group #pershorerocks the Abbey hopes to put on a display of poppy stones that have been painted by local artists to commemorate the event. This will hopefully be situated outdoors close to the Abbey for people to see on their daily exercise. Revd Claire Lording says “We are mindful that commemorations will have to be somewhat lower key due to the difficult times we are having to endure and with so many suffering as a consequence of this virus. However we need to try and have other things to work towards in order to keep morale up. This is an event that cannot pass by without being marked and this year more than any we should be able to identify with the Blitz spirit. We can’t celebrate together but we are fortunate enough for some of us to be able to keep in contact via our social media channels.’

We welcome the first FWW Newsletter. This first o We welcome the first FWW Newsletter. This first one contains information about the Chaplaincy Impact Survey which was undertaken in January and February of this year. The purpose of the survey was to evaluate the work which our chaplains undertake, and fundamentally to ask, “Does Workplace Chaplaincy make any difference?” The results of that extensive survey have now been analysed and the results are available to look over on their website https://www.faithatwork.org.uk/

Today Revd Claire tells us about how lockdown has provided her with more time to rediscover her garden and take note of all the wildlife around. There is so much joy to be had from growing plants and it is an excellent way to improve our well being.
