Caption Competition?
Photo from this morning's Pop-Up nativity, with the angel/narrator having to go around the 'Big Scary Romans'... but it's crying out for a caption, methinks!
(Not wearing a dog collar, the white 'flash' is a clip on portable transmitter for a digital hearing aid!!)

Pop-Up Nativity
Today for the first time, I will be leading a 'pop-up nativity' using Bible Society material (from 2017!!)
The premise is simple - people are invited to dress up as their favourite character in the story, to join in some pantomime style responses, and to sing lots of carols/songs.
The version we're using is based the 'Bear Hunt' game/story and is called The Greatest Story.
As the traveller/angel/narrator I'll be wearing my 'believe' jumper and a tinsel halo, as one does!
The countdown to Christmas is now on...
- Carols by Candlelight - led by someone else (thank you A) - this evening
- Christmas Voices evening Zooms (final five)
- Lessons and Carols for Christmas Eve morning
- Christingle on Christmas Eve morning
- Christmas Day celebration
- Community Christmas Day Lunch
It's going to very full on - and it's going to be fun!

Officially Attired!
My Vicar School jumper arrived today - there is a good choice of colours for these hoodies, which are specially ordered once a year (I think). I chose 'blue ink' which is actually a very dark teal/petrel kind of a colour.
I guess that makes me kind of officially attired!

Nativity in a Shed
It's really quite small (the size you might put on a sideboard), and you could so easily walk by without spotting it, but in the Memorial Square in Railway Town is a beautiful nativity scene in a shed.
I like that I could so easily have failed to notice it.
I like that it's small and insignificant next to the bright white lights on the trees.
I like that that's how it would have been - nothing to see, just a another peasant baby, born in an out of the way place that no-one ever went.
