Congratulations to our Rector Revd Canon David Baldwin on his splendid run in the Yeovil Half Marathon last weekend.

The harsh reality of giving birth in Sierra Leone, West Africa, where ten women die from giving birth each day, will be brought to life when a Christian Aid worker shares stories from the frontline of maternal health in her country.

I have recently read Becoming by Michelle Obama. Perhaps you received a copy for Christmas?

I have been moved by the response to Jesus Rocks – both in other churches picking up the idea for themselves and how people locally have responded.

For our Shepherds in the St Luke’s Gospel account of that first Christmas Eve it started as just an ordinary night watching over their flock of sheep. They had no inclination of the disturbance to their lives that was about to happen and the ‘news of great joy’ they were about to be part of.

I’ve been asked recently what the theme for Christmas this year is. Over the last few years we have knitted sheep, nativity scenes, given away angels and followed the star.
