An ordained friend recently commented about the number of services he had over the Christmas period, we also have a full diary of events. This time of year is a great time to meet many new people. A few months ago we joined a Christmas choir at a local Baptist church, after many practices and extra tutorials with our Arabic teacher, we have 2 performances (one on live TV); this evening we have a carol service at the hospital , and next week we are singing carols to captive audiences on the wards, at local convents and other hospitals; we also get invitations to visit carol concerts in other churches (this started 2 weeks ago); at school we have been rehearsing English carols with the kindergarten, 1st & 2nd grade classes, the school concert is on Wednesday; and of course there are the normal Christmas services at church.The traditional Christmas tree can be found in many homes. But instead of having piles of presents under the tree there is a nativity scene in a cave (made from rock coloured paper).
We hope you have a peaceful Christmas. P

Have just been visited by Maria & Phil & learned a little about their time with you both during their recent pilgrimage, & later this month Sue B will be visiting us at Christ Church Nailsea.
You remain in our prayers.
Here's wishing you both a happy & healthy year ahead with God's richest blessing too. Jo
