Members of the congregation wereinvited to take part and depict each of the “days” in whateverway they wished. The results were simply stunning and soimaginative. Which were my favourites? It really was impossibleto choose just one or two, but I have to confess that I have a softspot for the “Four Calling Birds” who were depicted by fourparrot decorations. One was sitting on the dial of a Fisher Pricechild’s telephone, whilst another was perched on the receiver,listening to the conversation!Ruth Thomson, our Editor, and June Wilkinson also took part.Ruth created a partridge using feathers kindly provided by amember of the congregation at a village church nearby and Junedepicted “Five Gold Rings” in a fulsome arrangement on the font.16
