Christmas don't forget the baby!
There was an incident that happened in a local church some years ago. In the busy run up to Christmas some school children were gathered on the chancel steps in the main body of the church for the final dress rehearsal of their nativity play. During the performance a nervous teacher directing the production from the back of the church hung on every word and action. As the drama made its faltering way to a climax Mary and Joseph appeared suddenly paralysed and struck dumb as they stood in front of the makeshift stable staring into an empty crib. Breaking the silence the director shouted vainly 'Where's the baby?' Mary leaned over and peered into the crib, she started to rummage in the straw, but no baby appeared; pausing she looked up bereft and speechless. 'Where's the baby?' repeated the director. Mary looked close to tears, there was no baby. In distraught tones the director gave the inevitable and desperate final instruction, 'When it comes to the performance, remember, it's very important, don't forget the baby!' As we rush around preparing for Christmas it's very easy to get distracted by the pull of the world around us. If we choose to let that happen then it is very likely that we will forget the baby. And the baby is very important! So what's it all about? A child born in a stable proclaimed Prince of Peace. He was acknowledged as the Son of God Emmanuel (which means God is with us). A figure who frightened powerful kings. This person this baby - changed the world. Yet he was born to a poor family forced to shelter in the poorest of conditions and recognised first by the shepherds the lowest in society. What does that say to us about the kind of God that is being revealed to us in the person of Jesus Christ? The Christmas story reveals a God who is not interested in the pomposity of the world. A God who identifies with us in our vulnerability. A God who is actually closer to us than we think! It is here through this baby that the story of God's love for us unfolds. The Christmas story is full of hope and promise and love for every single one of us can you believe it? And is it true? And is it true? This most tremendous tale of all Seen in a stained glass window's hue A baby in an ox's stall? The maker of the stars and sea Become a child on earth for me? (John Betjeman) This Christmas let the true meaning of this season shine through as we greet the Christ child again and sing our carols of welcome. I wish you all a peaceful, joyful, light filled, Christ filled Christmas. With much love Revd. Jane

combined thoughts and we would like members of the public to come along to discuss this and contribute to this process. Put the date in your diary now as it will be an informative and interesting meeting, please note we are going to have an earlier start time of 7pm. We are hoping before this point that a questionnaire will be delivered to the parish and we would encourage all residents to fill this in and put forward your comments. Dog fouling has become a real issue in the parish and it has been noted that the area around Brands Wood is particularly bad. Dog fouling is a priority issue for the police and our PCSOs have been given more power to deal with the problem. We would implore people to pick up their dogs mess and deposit it in the many dog bins around the parish. As previously mentioned, the next Parish Council meeting will be held on 12th February in the village hall starting at 7pm for a presentation by Sibelco about the future of the lakes.

Leziate WI November meeting
Unfortunately, Leziate WI did not meet until 19th November and the magazine deadline is the 18th of the month. However, it was our AGM in November and in the evening we visited Caithness Glass with other WIs in the area. We were given free eats and a raffle ticket for prizes they have donated. It was a lovely evening with, of course, an opportunity to buy our presents in the shop. Leziate WI members who visited Gayton WI enjoyed their cheese and wine evening. Wendy Twite

Be aware of being bumped or jostled, possibly by two or three people. This is a common distraction whilst a bag is opened or pockets checked, distracting you from what is going on. Finally, please, please, please don't keep your PIN number with your credit or debit cards, or carry large amounts of cash. It is surprising how many people keep a slip of paper with all their PIN numbers in the same purse or wallet as the cards themselves. This may affect your chances of being reimbursed by the bank and will certainly lead to the card being extensively used in a very quick time.

Registration for the dash can be completed in the following ways: 1. Online wwww.norfolkhospice.org.uk 2. By picking up a registration form from any of the Hospice shops 3. By calling 01485 542891 Registration costs 10 per adult and 5 for under 16s. Children under 5 are FREE! Under 16s are invited to dress in festive costume. The Santa Dash will start at 11am with Santas needing to sign in from 10.15.
Advice from the Police about simple things you can do to stay safe whilst shopping over Christmas.
It sounds silly but keep your bag with you don't leave it hooked over the back of a trolley whilst you nip up and down the aisles, or over the back of a chair in a caf, coffee house or restaurant. Make sure any bags are closed and fastened much more difficult to steal what you can't see. Don't place a purse, wallet or phone on a counter or table whilst searching for something else or waiting for a bill. A thief will cause a distraction and it will be gone in a second. For the gentlemen put your wallet in an inside or front pocket rather than a back pocket which is much easier to pick.

Incinerator update
The incinerator came incredibly close to defeat at County Hall in October; but the acceptance of Cory Wheelabrator's Revised Project Plan means it will limp on for a while longer. The National Audit Office investigation into the Norfolk Waste procurement came as welcome news. With the Government now saying the 'Willows' is not needed, it will be interesting to see if it impacts upon Lloyds and The Royal Bank of Scotland who are the UK financial backers of the 'Willows'. For more information please visit klwin.com & farmerscampaign.org to see what you can do to help if you wish to. Sending letters has made a real difference.

Hospital Roundabout
Surfacing has now been underway for several nights and will continue using night shifts until 9th December depending on the weather. Despite some cold and wet nights, the surfacing contractor has made steady progress so far. The B1145 toward Gayton will continue to be closed overnight (8pm until 5.30am) with a signed diversion via Hillington, and 3-way traffic lights will be used overnight on A149 Queen Elizabeth Way and Gayton Road (hospital side) until all surfacing and road markings are done. Every effort is being made to allow emergency vehicles and responders through the works as quickly as possible. Kerbing at the new road edge and for new islands continues using day shifts.

You showed us that your kingdom is not of this world. You showed us that the riches of this world are not good enough for you. You are holy, sacred and perfect. Let this Christmas be wonderful! Let this Christmas be awesome as we celebrate your sacred and holy birth. Let us remember you and your word, when we gather together in your name. Let glory, honour and praise be to you alone dear Jesus. Happy birthday to our saviour! Amen.

There will be NO MESSY CHURCH IN DECEMBER but do see details of all our Christmas Services in the centre pages especially dont miss -
What have we been up to? Correction Did anybody spot my deliberate mistake last month? I reported that we had made corn dollies and celebrated harvest in October actually that was September!! In October (with Halloween only a step away) the children joined in a very scary story about things that go bump in the night Oooooh! Aaaaah! BUT We are brave, theres no danger, We have Jesus as our Saviour! The children then enjoyed making some very scary spiders (my worst nightmare!)
Christmas Eve at 4pm where the children will help tell the Christmas story as we build our crib and light our Christingles.
However some lively singing, much chatting (and eating) and a great deal of fun dispelled all fear! Novembers session - which will already have happened by the time you read this will have a Christmas theme as we prepare for the festive season.

Megan's Challenge News By Debbie Thrower On Thursday 31 October 2013 at Chatteris Airfield ten challengers completed the adrenaline flowing, once in a lifetime thrill of a sponsored skydive jumping tandem from up to 13,000ft. After a short briefing we boarded the plane, it took approximately 15 minutes to reach our skydiving altitude and then harnessed to the front of a fully qualified instructor we jumped from the plane. Then an exhilarating minute of free fall reaching terminal velocity of 120mph, combined with the peace and tranquillity when the parachute opens at around 5,000ft, giving us the opportunity to take in stunning views before landing on the drop zone making it a unique and enjoyable experience we will never forget.
collecting sponsors monies but we are looking at achieving between 2000 and 2500 for the chosen charity Keeping Abreast in King's Lynn. wwwkeepingabreast.org.uk Roger Skipper, however, took on the challenge for a more personal cause which was to raise money to purchase a new wheelchair for his grandson Daniel aged 7 with Cerebral Palsy and has achieved around 500 towards this - well done. We would like to thank everyone who sponsored Megan's Challenge and Roger. Many Thanks

Members of the magazine team met to say a fond farewell to Catriona as she prepares to leave Gayton with her family for New Zealand. Catriona was thanked for all her hard work on the magazine and for her involvement in other village activities.
