Harry Potter Themed Nativity Play
My grandson was telling me about his huge Christmas list which could potentially double ToysRUs profits. He asked whether I had made a list. Yes, I said but mine is a ‘mothers’ list.
What size turkey will I need? Shall I risk an on line shopping list to arrive on Christmas Eve? When can I change all the bedding for my visitors? At least one is gluten free so I’ll have to find out what they can eat. Organising food from Christmas Eve till 27th for 8 adults and 4 picky children – help !
Then I say to myself WAIT – STOP! Is this what Christmas is all about?
No! Christmas is about the birth of the Son of God who was born to be a demonstration of God’s love for us all, and to give rest to those who are tired out!
I wish you all a restful and Happy Christmas

This Christmas message from Sue summed up the hectic and busy time which surrounded the fourth invitation in our ‘season of invitation’. Some ups and downs though as Christingle, and the Christmas Eve ‘Harry Potter’ themed nativity play were well supported, the candlelit carol service maybe not so! A real shame as the evening managed to attain the difficult balance between a relaxed but worshipful evening of traditional readings and carols, and an entertaining and humorous event.
