Timing

I attended Mid-Week Eucharist this morning at St. John's which was taken by Elizabeth who gave a really good homily about the timing of God's call to Elizabeth and Mary in Luke's gospel.  We often forget when we read the Christmas story that at the time of Mary's annunciation, Elizabeth was already six month's pregnant.  The Eucharist was followed by a meeting of the Team Staff and we were introduced to the new Team Administrator, Cara, who will be taking up her duties in January.  We went on to discuss the arrangements for Holy Week and one or two other housekeeping matters.  This afternoon I met with Ashley in the Shopping Outlet Centre in Wilton where, over a cream tea, we discussed our various essays and study progress.
