The vicar's wife refused to allow him to wear pink - well that was his excuse. And so the third advent candle was lit.
Every year I wonder if our choirmaster will shock us by announcing that we are to sing the Steeleye Span version of Gaudete. But every year I am disappointed. Instead we sang an old faithful, picking up on the Gaudete / rejoice theme: 'Rejoice in the Lord alway' (Redford). It is a choir favourite and the congregation seem to like it too.
There were several little children up to their antics, causing lots of smiles on tired and worn faces. 'Rejoice' was a fitting theme to the day. I'm sure the youth group will be rejoicing in their own inimitable style tonight, for that is when they have their Christmas party.
