Plough Sunday in Cawston yesterday was excellent. Even miserable weather didn’t keep folks away as we celebrated our farmers and processed the Magi through the village on my vintage Grey Fergie. #ruralministry #followthestar

Here are some snowy snaps of the Cathedral, taken this morning by Dean Andy and our Head Verger Sam.
The star is still lit, but you can't #FollowTheStar to us this morning as we're closed. You can still join us online for our 10:30am service though.
A playful scene featuring three Playmobil Wise Men: one holding a Terry's Chocolate Orange box, another with a real orange, and their camel nearby. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh are placed in front of them on a wooden table. A whimsical depiction of gift choices for the New Year.
"Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve..." (Joshua 24:15).
Will it be the fruit of the Spirit or the sweetness of indulgence? The Wise Men ponder their options!

Three Playmobil wise men journeying on a tabletop with a cracker in the foreground symbolising the joy of the Christmas journey.
The Wandering Wisemen found a cracker today… and nearly started a party! They're so close to Bethlehem that they can almost hear the shepherds singing. Hang on, lads, not long now!
"When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy." Matthew 2:10

A scene featuring three Playmobil figures of the Wise Men, a camel, and a circular wooden plaque engraved with the words "God is Love" and a Bible verse: "And all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them." The figures and plaque are set against a backdrop of books, including a Journaling Bible and titles on theology.
As we step into this new year, let the message of love guide our path: 'And all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them' (1 John 4:16). May our hearts be filled with love and compassion, reflecting the light of Christ in all we do.
Happy New Year 2025!

Three Playmobil Wisemen, wrapped snugly in a patterned cloth as if sleeping, rest under a shiny red tinsel garland.
They've tucked themselves in for a quick nap under a sparkling sky. The road to Bethlehem can wait... just five more minutes!
“He gives to his beloved sleep.” (Psalm 127:2b)

The image shows a colouring book page with Lotso, the bear from Toy Story and text that says "Hug Like a Pro." In front of the book is a Playmobil camel and three Playmobil Wise Men, one of whom appears to hold a gift. It looks like they are hugging.
After all this travelling, the Wandering Wisemen have learned two things: camels don’t give great hugs, and a good hug can make even the longest journey better. So hug someone today...just maybe not a camel!
"Above all, love each other deeply." (1 Peter 4:8)

Not only that Mike they bring a great big star to light up the shed so everyone knows how to get to this wild party #followthestar
A festive mantle adorned with tinsel and a string of Christmas cards. The three Playmobil Wisemen and a camel are clipped to the string, as if balancing precariously on a tightrope. The playful scene reflects a daring and determined journey amidst the holiday décor.
The Wisemen took the high road...literally! Walking the tightrope of faith isn’t for the faint of heart, but every step brings them closer to Jesus.
"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion." Psalm 84:5
