<strong>Winter</strong><strong>2013</strong> Les Nouvelles 29 Churchnews Gouray Church Farewell Peter and Mary, welcome Gavin, Helen and Emily By Prisca Tremeer Peter and Mary Williams came to Gouray Church from Ecclesall, Sheffield in the autumn of 2006 and immediately began to reinvigorate the church. Before his ministry at Ecclesall, Peter had been a vice-principal of Trinity Theological College, Bristol and was a gifted Christian historian. Peter’s strength lay in his preaching of well researched and interesting sermons and also in his pastoral care of his parishioners. Mary had an immediate rapport with children and young people and the Sunday School, renamed “Super Cool Sunday School”, flourished under her leadership. A group for teenagers called “Cool It” was also started and Mary gathered round her a team of dedicated teachers under whom the teaching and encouragement of young people flourished. Mary was instrumental in establishing a link with the Toddler Group in Gouray Village with the result that church members became involved with helping at and eventually running the group. It was therefore with great sadness that we learned that Peter and Mary had decided it was time to return to England and retire to their new home in Buckingham. It was a mark of the love and respect felt for Peter and Mary that the Sunday School teachers, the Music Group, the Churchwardens and the Clergy of the Deanery all felt that they wished to mark their retirement by holding farewell parties. It has been a joy working with Peter and Mary over the last six years. We wish them well in their retirement and hope that they have many happy years of enjoyment ahead of them with their children and grandchildren. Above: Gavin with the Dean Above: Peter and Mary Williams From The New Vicar of Gouray: The Rev’d Canon Dr Gavin Ashenden, Chaplain to the Queen I have been asked to introduce myself to you as the new Vicar of Gouray, and I’m delighted to have the opportunity of doing it through these pages. The editor suggested addressing the question: ‘What kind of a bloke are you?’ Tricky of course; it all depends what kind of categories of personal qualities we deal in. I think I’m a jolly bloke. I have inherited a jolly laugh – made louder by training as a bit of an opera singer. When my father was alive, if he and I and my son went into a pub and started laughing, we could empty it (by accident) in under 10 minutes, - so I have to watch my sense of humour and try to keep it under control. I’m also a passionate bloke. The gap between the way things ought to be and the way they often are, bothers me a lot; which is why I’m a Christian and a priest. I can’t bear not to be part of doing something about narrowing that gap. It’s a gap that appears in the way our own lives and hopes are a bit of struggle, as well as on the wider stage of international affairs. I think the gift of friends and courteous people looking out for one another is one of the ways we can “do life a little bit better”, and I’m always very grateful for people who have the time of day for one another - and can learn to, and deserve to trust one another. I think the Church is at the heart of that. And as we approach Easter, the secret that lies at the heart of the Christian experience that I hope I can be a part of sharing, is that once Jesus rose from the dead, we can be confident that our lives aren’t wrecked by the things that go wrong;- because God, if we allow Him, can bring good from bad, hope from despair, love and new life out of disaster. I come to Gouray with a patient and generous family, my wife Helen and my daughter Emily (14). I look forward to meeting you! Gavin Ashenden Above: Gavin, Helen and Emily with the Dean
