    At our All-Age worship this morning the theme was about us being adopted as God’s children. As regular worshippers will know, Charlie and Alice make frequent appearances in this service, but as they have moved house with Amanda and Derek, we have adopted two new puppets ourselves.

    At our 5pm Christingle service this evening, Charlie and Alice were joined by Kebab the Camel! He had accidentally made it to Woodkirk (we think with the help of Dr Who) on his way back from carrying one of the wise men back from Bethlehem. Here is Charlie and Alice with Kebab in front of…
