And we’ve<br />
been under a lot<br />
of trees recently too,<br />
haven’t we Joseph?<br />
They’re very pretty<br />
trees...<br />
Yes <strong>Mary</strong>,<br />
and did you see<br />
how many they had<br />
in the church? I’ve never<br />
seen trees like those before.<br />
It was spectacular — and<br />
what a huge amount<br />
of work!<br />
We had<br />
an unplanned visit to<br />
Mothers’ Union, which was<br />
a real treat and goes to show<br />
much goes on all the time<br />
for our people.<br />
We had<br />
another delicious meal<br />
at the Lunch Club, and also<br />
at the houses of all the<br />
families we<br />
visited.<br />
...and I<br />
expect all the<br />
children were glad as<br />
well — they loved singing<br />
about me during those<br />
wonderful services in<br />
the lead up to<br />
Christmas.<br />
We’ve gone<br />
out and about and<br />
met some very kind people<br />
who taught us how to do new<br />
things... It’s not just inside the<br />
church building that<br />
wonderful things<br />
happen.<br />
It was<br />
such a privilege<br />
to meet members of<br />
our talented<br />
choir.<br />
...thank you<br />
to everyone at <strong>St</strong><br />
<strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Redcliffe</strong> for what<br />
you do, for your gifts, for<br />
your time, enthusiasm,<br />
and energy. You make it<br />
such a great place to be!<br />

But we<br />
couldn’t vote as<br />
we hadn’t yet been<br />
registered.<br />
We spent<br />
some tiime at a<br />
local primary school. It’s<br />
nice meeting the children and<br />
seeing how they learn. It’s also<br />
lovely that people are keen to<br />
share the good news<br />
of Jesus.<br />
We<br />
had a great<br />
time at Toddler<br />
Church.<br />
...not<br />
to mention a<br />
comfortable night<br />
at the verger’s<br />
house.<br />
We<br />
had such a<br />
lovely meal at the<br />
Vicarage...<br />
Our visits<br />
around <strong>Redcliffe</strong> ended<br />
on a high—we climbed<br />
up into the bell tower where<br />
we had a very warm welcome<br />
from Gareth and the team<br />
of bellringers. It was<br />
spectacular!<br />
I think<br />
its wonderful —<br />
just wonderful!<br />
...So<br />
what do you<br />
think <strong>Mary</strong>?<br />
