THEY took "Stir Up Sunday"
literally at Pembridge, in Hereford diocese. With the help of some
of the mothers, and overseen by the Rector, the Revd Brenda Jacobs,
the children did a lot of stirring to make a Christmas cake. Then
each member of the congregation lent a hand, saying a prayer as he
or she had a stir, before the cake was taken away to be baked. It
will be brought back for the crib service on Christmas Eve, when
everybody will have a slice.
