AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
Many of you signed greetings cards last Christmas for prisoners of
conscience. Amongst the recipients was Eynulla Fatullayev, an Azerbaijani
journalist imprisoned on false charges; his real “crime” being to criticise
his government. The Belper Amnesty International group have been
campaigning for his release and are pleased to announce that he was
pardoned and released in June.
Eynulla said: - “I am very happy to be released. I am extremely grateful to
Amnesty International who has campaigned since the beginning. In my
opinion you saved me.”
The greetings cards played a part in this. Thank you.

Away Day—Young People’s Views
On Saturday we went to Eyam on the Church Away Day. The children's
group was led by Luke and Helen. We went upstairs and did a poster
about what our church is good at, for example, what we do, if we're good
at it, and what we could do in the future. After that we did some cake
decorating and went on a Treasure Hunt. We were dashing around Eyam
looking for some clues. I enjoyed it.
At lunchtime we went for a wander around Eyam. We went in the Craft
Centre and had a look in Tourist Information. We also went in the church.
We found out that one third of the population of the village died during the
Plague in 1665 to 1666.
After we came back from lunch we made some Father's Day cards. We
went in the hall and told everybody what we had been doing. Then we
found our parents and we went home.
Amy Bradbury
We first introduced ourselves, then we asked the people what their
favourite cartoon character was. Next we read a passage from the Bible.
Then we made a poster of things we could improve at church, things we do
at church and how our church is doing.
We liked doing Sunday club. The church is doing well.
We had a treasure hunt - the boys won ...and lots of sweets.

Jeff Lucas on Change
‘Why do we get so attached to things being the way they were? While the
Church should be a place of stability, it is also a community of journeying
people, and changes of scenery are to be expected and embraced. When
the Church stops moving, she stops being the Church. We are a marching
people, hopefully a carnival train, inviting others to come with us as we
continue with each other and God.’ - [Jeff Lucas’ notes on Acts 15: 1-11]

‘He who limps is still walking’ - Anon

Farmer’s Market Cafe
When the Salvation Army Corps moved out of their building on the Market
Square late last year the opportunity arose to continue their monthly
ministry to the Farmer’s Market stallholders and shoppers. Now, under
the ‘Hope for Belper’ umbrella, we open up the hall from 8am until 1pm,
serving drinks and cakes and providing a friendly place to meet and chat.
Earlier this year we took the decision that there would be no charge for
refreshments, explaining to customers that local Christians just wanted to
provide a much needed service without looking for anything in return.
Donations more than cover costs and any surplus is given to Hope for
Belper for their continuing work. If you’d like to help in any way, making
cakes or biscuits or serving drinks please contact us. It’s great fun and a
wonderful way of meeting people and ‘being church’ in the community!

Consumers or Disciples?
(Mt 11:16-19)
To what can I compare this generation?
They are like children sitting in the market-places and calling to others:
We played a flute for you, and you did not dance;
We sang a dirge for you and you did not mourn.

We are a market-place generation.
Consumers devoted to pick and mix,
Cafe church, traditional church,
Fresh expressions, stale expressions,
Flute playing, dirge-singing
Dipping in and out,
Moving on,
Rejecting what doesn’t please me, right now.

We are consumers, yes.
But disciples?
Life-long learners,
Committed to the Way,
Devoted to the Truth,
Experiencing the fullness of Life which is Jesus?
Prepared to endure to the end,
Being thankful in all circumstances,
Even when that involves a cross?
Are we really becoming
And making disciples?

God, who sent the flute-player
And the dirge-singer,
Give us wisdom.

CHRISTIAN AID WEEK
Many thanks to all those who helped collect envelopes and gave during
Christian Aid week. St Peter’s collected a total of £912-49. Anyone who
wrote a cheque may find it takes a while to be cashed as cheques have to be
sent to the area treasurer for processing.
The Good Friday hunger lunch raised £152.78 and this has also been
passed on to Christian Aid.

Spring Harvest 2011
Spring Harvest was great. The mornings started at 9.00 with worship for
the whole family. The lively singing and drama was a great way to start the
day. Gerard Kelly gave the morning talk on the book of Malachi which
teaches us that God has chosen us for His purposes and therefore we need
to follow His laws. We were reminded that we made the choice to follow
God and He wants people to worship Him.
During the day we had a choice, either to go to a seminar, or to have free
time when we could go for a walk, or swim, play crazy golf, go to the
funfair, or even sleep!!
During the evenings there was a time of worship and a talk. The worship
time was led by Noel Robinson and with so many people present, it was
uplifting. We may sing some of his songs in church in the future. There
was also late night entertainment which Jonathan Veira led and was very
enjoyable.
I would recommend Spring Harvest, and it would be wonderful if more
people from the parish attended. To find out more speak to Anne or Roy
Straton, David or Kate Gough or me.

Home in Pune we were privileged to spend two days at
a rural health project, visiting a hospital, farm and the
surrounding villages. We heard some incredible
stories of God’s transforming power and grace.
Many of you have supported the work at St Crispin’s
by buying our greetings cards, sponsoring Kate’s efforts to slim and
making generous donations. Please come along and see how that money is
making a difference to the lives of the girls there and how God is at work
through other Christian projects. We are thrilled that St. Peter’s has
adopted St. Crispin’s as one of their charities to support over the next 3
years and we will do all we can to keep you fully informed of
developments there.

Cost of preaching
One beautiful Sunday morning, a priest announced to his congregation:
"My good people, I have here in my hands three sermons...a £100 sermon
that lasts five minutes, a £50 sermon that lasts fifteen minutes, and a £10
sermon that lasts a full hour. Now, we'll take the collection and see
which one I'll deliver."
