I love to see sheep in the fields and they are everywhere now on rural land. Their coats are woolly and thick for the winter. There is something very Christmassy about them, and of course they feature in our Christmas story, as shepherds with their flock witness a brilliant star in the sky.

Most sheep we think of today are domesticated and probably descended from the wild mouflon which was found in Europe and Asia. Sheep have excellent hearing and with horizontal pupils can actually see behind themselves, and their sense of smell is excellent also.

Their symbolism, because of their nature is one of submission and obedience, with a need for guidance and shepherding. No wonder they have been symbolically used in the Bible.

Last night we had our Carol and Pantomime service in Chawton. What a lovely time of laughter and fun. It is always nice to belt out those favourite carols, and the Panto – Scrooge in Rhyme was ridiculous as always but lovely!! Thank you everyone who took part!!

We also had some very humorous special readings. Everyone had found pieces so very entertaining. Thank you to all our readers! And it didn’t stop there, for Santa and his elf arrived with cards, crackers and presents for all, and the evening was finished off with wonderful baked goods and mulled wine, tea and coffee. Thank you hospitality gals!! So many people to thank who made this a wonderful evening!!

Prayer of the week.

Please pray for the lonely.

There are so many people in all kinds of situations, some not so obvious, who experience debilitating loneliness. With Christmas coming, it just accentuates their isolation.

Slow down and experience the magical moments.

Calendar up next.

We shared a lovely Wednesday evening gathering yet again. Thank you everyone for your prayers and readings.

Please continue to pray for the homeless all over the world.

Our Carols and Panto service is Sunday in Chawton!!

Join us!

The lovely donkey has been around for a long time, and I mean a long time. Fossils suggest he was around during a prehistoric world. He is found in every continent except Antarctica. He is loyal and loving and very intelligent, although be careful getting behind him when he is feeling a little feisty as he can deliver a good kick when he feels it’s warranted. Of course he has been used for his strength over the centuries hauling cargo of some kind or another and his spiritual symbolism is that of humility, patience, hard work and effort. Not surprisingly he is there in our Christmas story from the very beginning carrying a weary Mary as they search for somewhere to rest.

Our advent word is Peace. May we be the Peace we would long for as we move through this season celebrating the child who would become the prince of it in this world

Sunday night in Chawton was very special. Rob along with Chris Elliot showed just how close spirit can get. It was a lovely evening as we pushed the envelope working alongside those in spirit. Steve chaired the evening, and we heard wonderful prayers and readings and sang some of our favourite hymns Thank you everyone from readers to hospitality to set up break down, music and healers.

Please pray for the homeless. Can you imagine being on the streets as our temperatures drop and everyone is busily shopping for Christmas?

Calendar up tomorrow.

Let us remember it is the season of goodwill to all without exceptions.

We shared another lovely zoom gathering Wednesday evening with healing to follow. Thank you everyone for your readings and prayers

Please continue to pray that more people would ask questions and gain insight and understanding Spiritually.

Rob and Chris Sunday in Chawton with –

‘Just how close can Spirit get!’

See you then!
