<P>>##November 20, 2005: Stir-up Sunday##

The old collect for this Sunday begins “Stir up, we beseech thee O God…” It’s a good day for baking your Christmas Pudding and Christmas cake. Invite friends – especially non-Christian friends, since this is a wonderful missionary opportunity – to come and stir wishes into your cake. As the first person takes up the spoon to stir the wishes in, pray the collect from the prayer book.
