HOMOURIflG THE HEART OF LOVS
The greatest truth about the birth of Jesus at Christmas is that the One
who is the source of everything that exists, the One whom we call God.) was
prepared to identify so totally with our situation that he took our hunan form.
In fact, he was not just prepared to do this, he longed to do this, reaching out
for us from the depths of his amazing love.
It is precisely because God has acted in this way in becoming human, that
all human beings can, as a result, live with a new hope to be more like God.
This hope is totally realistic and not just a mirage for sunny days since Jesus
stayed with our human situation through all manner of costly and painful experiences.
He did not just show us how to live out God's love in easy comfortable times, but
in difficult and tragic ones.
This dimension of tne tragic was not present only at the end of Jesus ' life,
but also at tne beginning. We are very ready to sentimentalise the stable in which
he was born or the manger in which, he was laid, but their rougn, uncompromising
reality must have seemed very harsh to his mother when compared to his tender,
infant skin, vfhen compared to his divine origin, the contrast is staggering.
Yet the identification with the "marginalised" of society was not just in the
circumstances of his birth. Within a very short time, he was a homeless refugee
being carried to a foreign country. Perhaps that experience is one of the most
telling for us this year when we are becoming increasingly aware of the rising
number of homeless people in our own country, to say nothing of the homeless and
refugees in other lands, especially the boat people in Hong Kong. Even if the
numbers were not rising, the horror of even some people having to be in cardboard
boxes on the pavement is one we should not be prepared to tolerate. The fact that
more and more young people are finding themselves in this situation must surely
grieve us and certainly grieve the heart of love of the One whose birth we celebrate.
If our celebration is of God entering human pain as well as human joy and
showing that it can be redeemed by his love, then the way of celebration must
reflect what God was doing, otherwise the celebrations will give him no honour.
The work to alleviate the very pains he himself experienced and so many others
now share is part of our honouring his royal birth.
And so to a more happy Christmas.

1st COLESHILL GUIDES
Je have been back ab Guides for cur winter term since September» and activities to
date have been planning badges to take, taking part in our Annual General Ileetin^
of the Friends of Guidin^ fcr the East Amersham District and planning cur Christmas
show which we are putting on for everyone in Coleshill on SUFIDAY, 3rd DECE11BER.
Some of the Guides have ,achieved their badges - Annabel Eardley and Katherine Sadler
have at lor.f; last managed to take and pass their Chi Idcare bad,;e, the delay beinrj
due to cur inability (until 1'irs Pocle .helped cut) to find a tester -not to their
inability to pass the test! Je have two' new Guides, Sarah flcNeilly and Rosalind Pocle
and they will be enrolled the Monday after our Show.
'/e raised £30 at our Annual General fleeting through a combination of doiiv; face
painting fcr the quests and desi^nin^- faces with flour, curry powder and other
i nyredi ents.
Our Christmas Show is entitled "The Best Years of Your Life" and it will be a satirical
(if not wormlike) view of school portrayed by those (fcr the most part) who are still
there. We will be^in at 3.30 pm wi th our show, and some fun stalls and cur raffle,
followed by tea and refreshments. Ve lock forward -to seeing you all.
Finally a further plea for help. If anyone or even a selection in rota can spare
the time to assist me sometimes at Guides I would be grateful. The projects are
limited when there is only one Guider, so to make the activities more exciting and
interesting, please do come forward if you can.

The Institute has been as busy as ever since the last report. The 40th Anniversary
Tea Party was a great success. It was very well attended, and after an excellent
tea and light entertainment, two founder: members, f'rs Ruby i lay and ilfs Ivy Redding were
presented with commemorative,platesi A thirds Mrs Florence Harris, who now lives in
Cheltenham, received flowers'and an Anniversary Cake-from her local W.I. 'Market on
behalf of Coleshill.
Outings have included the Open Air 'Museum at Mewlands Park and iiapledurham House, the
oeautiful summer weather adding to the enjoyment of both. In.August, afternoon tea
was arranged for a party from the Chalfcnt Centre for Epilepsy, who joined in some
community singi.iv; arranged by 1'rs Ivy Owen. Contra tulati ens to the croquet team for
their win ever Kingshill and nary thanks to Lindsey Haubner for-her lovely flower
arrangements which she brings each month throughout the year for the President's tablet
:!rs Joy Hicks continues to arrange an interesting programme of speakers, Hrs '/right,
gave a History of Lacemaking with exar.ples, and ?lrs Dcrey brought a fascinating display
of Patchwork Quilting to illustrate her talk. It was of particular interest to
Mndsey Haubiu;r's Patchwork .group (their1 second quilt is nearly finished). The last
peaker this year was Ilrs Russell-Smith who gave a most interesting insight into the-:
work of the St Francis Hospice a^i Berkhansted and the enormous amount of money which
'7as t3 be raised voluntarily each year to keep it open.
A great deal of effort went into the presentation of the Christmas Bazaar: in the
Village Hall, with stalls loaded with members' handiwork, produce, gifts* craft,
cakes, delicatessen and a lovely array of dried flowers. The""mini-lunches were,a great
success and proved both tasty and sustaining to patrons and stall, holders alike.
The last meeting this year before the annual Christmas Lunch was the A.,G.V!.: There al*e
three new committee memberst and 'liss Ann Trctman has retired1 as President after a
very hard-working and popular three--years in officei Her place has been taken by
the former secretary, :.j**s Rosemary Saunders, and the new Secretary is J'irs Evelyn Clay ton.
iir's Tfixi.e Brcwne enters her 35th year as Treasurer, surely a record? riiss trdtmari,
in her farewell speecfh, congratulated the Institute on the variety of j ts interests,
which is its strength, and it is to be hoped it continues thus', gathering new members
all the time.

their views known. One ;i's that copies .of council minutes will be posted on the

the chairman will declare the meeting proper open, after which only members may
speak - though anyone is welcome to stay and listen.

A Questionnaire fron the Parish Council
The Parish Council believes that most people support the idea of a village
shop, but not everybody's support extends to actually usiiv; it. This may
be because you have not ;>eer. able to find what you want there, so to help
"ichael and Tina Deeks to stock the things you do want, the council is
sponsoring this questionnaire, and the Church Committee has kindly agreed
to distribute it with the Newsletter.
Please complete it and either drop i t in at the shop, or through the
letter box of David Curling, The Rosary, or John Trench, Vindnill Farm.
