Telly trouble
A woman summoned a TV repairman to fix her set. After spreading his tools out, the serviceman inquired:
‘What seems to be the trouble?” Replied the woman: “Well, for one thing the programmes are appalling.”
You asked for it
The student, when asked by the teacher to write an essay on ‘The Effects of Laziness’, turned in a blank sheet of paper.
As good as it gets
A shipwrecked man spent five years on a deserted island. One day he was overjoyed to see a ship drop anchor in the bay. A dinghy approached, and a ship’s officer handed the sailor The Times, The Financial Times and The Daily Telegraph. “The captain suggests,” said the officer, “that you read what’s going on in the world before you decide if you wish to be rescued.”
Got it all already
“I cannot understand you,” said the young man to his unmarried aunt. “You seem so happy and contented.
I’ve always thought that unmarried women are lonely and miserable and just longing for the presence of a
man about the place.”
“Well,” his aunt responded, smiling, “I’ve got a fireplace that smokes, a parrot that swears, a cat that stays out half the night with no explanation, and a dog that leaves muddy footprints all over the house. What more do I want?”
Lift
The final show for the evening was over and one flea said to the other: “Should we walk home, or take the
dog?”

SUNDAY GROANER
Observations on life in general…
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.
Torch: A case for holding dead batteries.
Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
If you lend someone £20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
Birds of a feather flock together and mess on your car.

Dating
Young man: “I date this girl for two years -- and then the nagging starts: ‘I want to know your name!’"

Signs of the times
My 10 year old niece says her prayers every night and instead of "amen", she says "click, send."

Applied Law
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honour thy father and thy mother," she asked "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."

The same yesterday…
Why did Moses wander in the desert for 40 years?
Because even back then men wouldn't ask for directions.

A blessing for Trinity Sunday
The Guarding of the God of Life
The God of life with guarding hold you,
The loving Christ with guarding fold you,
The Holy Spirit, guarding, mould you,
Each night of life to aid, enfold you,
Each day and night of life uphold you.

I'm not a complete idiot. Some parts are missing.
Don't give up on yourself. Even Moses was once a basket case.
Satan subtracts and divides. God multiplies and multiplies.

On the tribulations that await a curate in his first parish…
The Rectory
St. James the Least
My dear Nephew Darren
So, your bishop is dropping hints that you should begin to consider a move to having your own parish - "not
for ever in green pastures" comes to mind. Do not be too hasty, remember that a curate can do no wrong but a
vicar can do no right. As soon as you get your own parish, you will be held accountable not only for everything that goes on inside the church, but also for the goal average of the local football team and the state of the economy. And if it rains for your first Summer Fete, you will be told reproachfully that this never used to
happen when Mr X was here.
As you begin to ponder this momentous decision, allow me to give you a few pieces of advice. It will be assumed in the parish that every new incumbent is bound to be worse than his predecessor. The greatest compliment I ever received when leaving a parish came from an elderly parishioner: “I've known six Rectors of this parish; you weren't the worst.”
Naturally the church you go to will have asked for a married man between 30 and 35 with a wife who will not have her own job but who wants to devote her entire life working for the parish - and it will be a definite advantage if she is a brilliant organist, professional caterer and fully computer literate. They will expect you to have two children, one of whom should be of primary school age, so he can attend the local Church school, where you will naturally wish to be chairman of governors and coach of the football team.
They will want you to have exceptional talents for attracting young people - but for young people who enjoy the sorts of Services that the present congregation prefer - and you should have the ability to stop a baby crying during Mattins with the briefest of glances. They will want you to bring "a breath of fresh air" into parish life without changing anything. They will hope you will shun holidays, preach short sermons and be able to run a tight jumble sale.
Your CV is already beginning to look a little thin. If you could acquire a wife and family within the next six months, become an expert flower arranger and qualify as a football referee, chartered accountant and trained electrician and plumber, it would prove very helpful. If in addition, you learned how to service photocopiers, had a mini-bus available for church outings, were an heir to a family firm producing a single malt whisky and could provide reliable horse racing tips, your choice of parishes would be endless.
On the other hand, my advice would be to stop attending all meetings where you know the bishop may be present; out of sight, out of mind. Have your phone disconnected, your letterbox sealed and only appear in public wearing dark glasses and false beard. Keep your head down, lay low, hold on to the charmed life of being a curate for as long as possible. Life will never be better.
Your loving uncle,
Eustace

This month begins with Ascension Day when we are called to celebrate that Jesus Christ is not just a good man – not even just a good man who rose from the dead – but that He is the Son of God, ascended into heaven and seated on the very throne of heaven. He promised to send the Holy Spirit to lead and guide His people into all the truth and that promise was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost - the first Whit Sunday. Our risen Lord has left us with a task to fulfil – to proclaim His Lordship and His Gospel to all people. On the first Day of Pentecost the apostles received th Holy Spirit to empower them to work as the Church in the world to spread the Gospel. We now have the task of following in that task and carrying out Christ's Mission in the world of today.

Pentecost this year for us marks the launch of our “Mission and Ministry Area” which is to serve the 15 parishes of the Longford 8 and South Dales 7 benefices. We are being called into a new relationship of co-operation to carry out our task of sharing and spreading the Gospel in our part of Derbyshire. The intention is that we should work together in all ways that we can to carry out our task and support one another in those things we we need to do separately. For some years we have worked together in carrying out our mission – especially with the the help of readers from the South Dales churches. We now need to seek the ways in which we can work even more closely. The special service to inaugurate our renewed way of working together takes place on the Day of Pentecost (May 11th) at 10.30a.m. in St Michael's, Sutton-on-the-Hill when all 15 parishes will join together in dedicating ourselves to God's service and we will be welcoming the Achdeacon of Derby to lead that service. Do make a special effort to ensure that you are at this special service. (BTW do come early as it is anticipated that there will be a large congregation)
