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 />

Minister<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 />
