December starts

December is here, and I’ve still a few bits of work to continue with. Just waiting for the inevitable closing in of the weather to bring a halt to my customer’s work. I’m looking forward to some time off – although I have ‘penciled-in’ some home decorating activities during January.

I finished this week with the work at the NT at Snowshill too, so I have some ‘free’ time in the diary now. Perhaps I’ll get out on my own garden and allotment to catch up with the seasonal activities!

November was mostly work – so much so that I’ve realised just how tired I am. Normally I’ll take any / all work in my stride but one job last week consisted of breaking up pruning materials to bag up and after 45 minutes of this (there was a huge amount of material), lets say, exasperation kicked in.. Thought; that if only I had a gofer…, but then I’d have to increase my hourly rate…

We enjoyed a weekend away at Mission Worship at Eastbourne last weekend.

At Woodmancote Church, the leadership team have been working very hard this year on the process of finding a replacement pastor – as Keith ends his time with us on Christmas Day. The leadership team proposed to the congregation that Andrew Hiscock be the new pastor, and after a vote, this proposal was carried. It’ll be sad to see Keith and Ruth leave us, but we will be looking forward as a church to see God’s future work being carried out with Andrew as pastor.

The church has a number of activities happening over the Christmas period, details of which can be found at: www.freechurch.freeserve.co.uk
