A few have come my way this week through various emails I've received.
On Monday I was sent a few photos of the gathering held by our Junior Church the previous day. Under government guidelines (up until yesterday) children's groups have been given permission to meet on church premesis. Seven youngsters came along on Sunday, had a bible quiz and enjoyed a session of games.
It's just great to see the smiles on these young faces; rays of hope giving us every reason to grasp the future with optimision and courage.
Two 'notices' now...
We have received a request from the Abbetfield Home, Pratt House, that if we have any old or unused Christmas decorations they would love to take them off our hands. If able to help please contact Georgia on 07399472911
And...Thames Valley Police has alerted us to the fact that there have been a number of burglaries at religious establishments over recent days. They are looking for a white male, about 6'2'', thin and in his mid 20s, wearing a black puffer jacket. So, if you are passing our building and see anything suspicious do get in contact.
And finally, something humerous for the weekend, passed on to me by an email correspondent...
No Nativity this year because the Three Wise Men face a travel ban.
The shepherds have been furloughed.
The Inn Kepper has shut under Tier 3 regulations and had a slump in bookings.
Santa won't be working.
As he would break The Rule of 6 with Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Donner and Blitzen.
As for Rudolph, with that red nose, he should be isolating and taking a test.
However, I do believe Santa is a keyworker, so I'm expecting a visit!
Whatever you are doing today and this weekend, may you know the blessing and peace of God.
