RECTOR'S
NEWSLETTER
December 2025
Dear Friends,
The Greatest Gift
As I think about the Christmas presents I have received over the years, the ones that are the most memorable, and that are the most precious to me, have nothing to do with the amount of money that was spent on them
I remember some presents from my family and from friends, and I remember presents that were modest, simple, and sometimes homemade. The most significant presents that I have received are ones that showed somebody knew me well, and that were in some way an expression of love. I hope that I have sometimes given presents like that as well.
The best and most important presents are those that tell us that we are loved. And the greatest present of all, and the greatest expression of love, is the gift that is at the heart of our celebration of Christmas. That is the gift of God himself - in the birth and life, and the death and resurrection of Jesus, to be with us always.
May I wish you a joyful Christmas, and a peaceful New Year.
Revd John Waller
A personal note:
I have recently announced to our churches that I will be retiring from full time ministry at the end of April next year. After that I will be moving to Worcester to live closer to my family and friends.
