Christmas MarketFoodbank Gifts

MaryCreate a tunic from blue material, or perhaps use an old, large blue pillowcase which can be slit at the bottom and sides to make a simple tunic. You can then add white or blue tights and simple sandals. Make a simple white headdress using a length of white material, secured to your child’s head with a length of white elastic or a headband. The obvious accessory is a child’s doll, swaddled in a blanket or towel, for your little Mary to carry.

Shepherd/Joseph CostumeOne of the easier costumes to rustle up, the shepherds of Biblical days wore very simple clothing, so a basic, homemade tunic, perhaps accessorised with a leather belt, brown trousers and leather sandals combines to make an authentic take on the traditional shepherd’s dress. The most popular addition is the old striped tea-towel wrapped around the head.

You could also come along as a star, an angel, a wise man or a stable animal, and the � rst prize for the best dressed child will be to switch on the Midsomer Norton Christmas lights.

• The Silver Band will play carols and create the wonderful sound of Christmas.

Nativity procession with Joseph leading Mary with a real live donkey will make their way to the Hollies, followed by school choirs and young people. The key to this procession will be its role in bringing items to donate

• Unforgettable Nativity where you can watch in wonder as the story of the Christmas message you are actually part of unfolds before your very eyes.

The new Somer Valley Foodbank, which is being set up to support families and individuals in need of food during times of � nancial hardship, needs your help. Since 2000 over 250 foodbanks have been established around the country to provide food in times of crisis.Now, following the creation of Bath Foodbank last year, a group of local churches, residents, interest groups and councillors has come together to create a similar initiative for Radstock, Midsomer Norton and the surrounding parishes.

By the o� cial launch date of 8th January, co-ordinators of the foodbank need volunteers to help with: • Collecting food from churches, schools and supermarkets.• Weighing, sorting and stacking collected food at the warehouse.• Helping those in need and distributing food parcels at one of the distribution centres.

• Liaising with the agencies who distribute foodbank vouchers.• Helping with general administrative tasks.

There will be a collection stall in the Hollies on the night of the nativity Fayre, so please add a few items from the shopping list to your shop and donate them to the Foodbank.

Ingredients85 g (3 oz) dried cranberries85 g (3 oz) sultanas85 g (3 oz) dried pears, chopped85 g (3 oz) stoned prunes, chopped85 g (3 oz) dried fi gs, chopped85 g (3 oz) stoned dried dates, chopped250 ml (8½ fl oz) apple juice50 g (1¾ oz) pecan nuts, chopped50 g (1¾ oz) candied ginger, chopped� nely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon5 tbsp sunfl ower oil1 egg75 g (2½ oz) molasses sugar115 g (4 oz) self-raising white fl our115 g (4 oz) self-raising wholemeal fl our1 tsp baking powder2 tsp ground mixed spice3–4 tbsp semi-skimmed milk, as needed

Rich fruit ring cakePreparation method1. Place all the dried fruit in a medium sized saucepan. Add the apple juice, place over a moderate heat and bring slowly to the boil. Cover and simmer gently for 3–4 minutes or until the fruit begins to absorb the liquid. 2. Remove the pan from the heat and leave, covered, until completely cold. Stir in the pecan nuts, ginger, and lemon zest and juice. 3. Preheat the oven to 150ºC (300ºF, gas mark 2). Brush a 23 cm (9 in) ring tin with a little oil. In a bowl, beat together the sunfl ower oil, egg and sugar until smooth. 4. Sift the white and wholemeal fl ours, baking powder and mixed spice into a large bowl, tipping in any bran in the sieve. Add the soaked fruit and the egg mixture, and stir well to combine

thoroughly. Stir in enough milk to make a fairly soft mixture. 5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 1¼–1½ hours or until risen, � rm and golden brown, and just beginning to shrink away from the sides of the tin. 6. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for at least 1 hour before running a knife around the edge and turning it out. Wrap in greaseproof paper and foil, and store for 2–3 weeks before serving, to allow the fl avours to mature. 7. To decorate the cake, gently heat the jam with 1 tsp water, then press through a sieve. Brush the top of the cake with the jam. Arrange the cherries, nuts and candied ginger on top, pressing them gently into the jam. Finally, dust with sifted icing sugar.

O little town of BethlehemHow still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shinethThe everlasting Light

The hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of MaryAnd gathered all above

While mortals sleep, the angels keepTheir watch of wondering love

O morning stars togetherProclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God the KingAnd Peace to men on earth

How silently, how silentlyThe wondrous gift is given!

So God imparts to human heartsThe blessings of His heaven.No ear may hear His coming,

But in this world of sin,Where meek souls will receive him still,

The dear Christ enters in.

While shepherds watchedTheir fl ocks by night,

All seated on the ground;The angel of the Lord came down,

And glory shone around,“Fear not!” said he, for mighty dread

Had seized their troubled minds.“Glad tidings of great joy I bring

To you and all mankind.

“To you in David’s town this day,Is born of David’s line,

The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord,And this shall be the sign.”

“The heavenly Babe you there shall � nd,To human view displayed;

All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands,And in a manger laid”

Thus spake the Seraph, and forthwithAppeared a shining throng

Of angels praising God, who thusAddressed their joyful song:“All glory be to God on high,And to the earth be peace.

Good will, hence forthFrom heaven to men,

Begin and never cease.”

This December Midsomer Norton Town Council is once again funding two afternoons of creative opportunity. The incredibly popular craft workshops are back. This year the crafts will be based around the Nativity story and you can join the team of volunteers from Welton Baptist Church for lots of fun.

Come and make a special addition to your nativity out� t by creating your very own animal mask. Or you can colour in and make a nativity mobile to hang in your bedroom. There will also be the chance to make Kingly crowns or a beautiful manger scene. Parents/carers are asked to come and stay with your children and maybe have a go yourself. It’s free to take part but resources are limited so please come early if you want to be sure of a choice.

Does Midsomer Norton really hold the Guinness World Record for the ‘Most Living Figures in a Nativity Scene’? Yes we do! (743 mainly shepherds/shepherdesses to be precise!). And one year on despite an e� ort from the mighty city of Southampton, we have maintained the record. We’re not attempting any records this year but hopefully we can build on the growing sense of community within the Town. In the story of the nativity we see the outworking of God’s plan to give us the greatest ever gift in the form of His son, Jesus. With that thought of giving in mind, we really wanted people to have the opportunity to contribute something again this year. Whether it’s a gift for the food bank, joining in with the crafts, dressing up, singing the carols, joining the procession or any of the many other things on o� er, we hope that you feel a valuable part of everything happening this evening.

Welton Baptist Church

It has been a privilege working together with so many organisations towards this event and to have the continuing support of the Town Council. Hopefully you will have seen details of all the forthcoming events taking place at the local churches. Why not take some time-out of the busyness of Christmas to join in and be a part of all that is going on. Finally, if you’re someone who suff ers from the Post-Christmas blues, give yourself a lift at the church’s annual Pantomime, ‘Not Dick Whittington’ on January 25th & 26th see www.weltonchurch.org.uk for more details.Matt Coomes, Outreach Worker
