Churchmouse – June

3 June 2017 By Sue

mouseHi Friends,

I wonder if you have ever thought whether we mice who live in church pray? Well I have to tell you we do. When the school children come into church we always listen and pray with them and during services we sit with our family very quietly and join in the prayers. At other times we pray as well. Last thing with Mum and Dad, before we go to sleep, we usually pray for safety, particularly that we won’t be caught by the cats, and we pray for our relatives living in the fields and hedges and we give thanks for all the fun we have.

We have been having great fun this month. With it being so dry we have been out in the fields playing with our field mice cousins almost all the time. We have to be careful on the days when the people come and clear up the church yard though, those noisy strimmers are a real danger to us, so we dash off into the fields when we hear them coming. But when we come back the church yard does look nice.mouse

We do love the days when there are soup lunches in church. All those crumbs we can gather quickly are great for us. No one leaves us out a bowl of soup though, which is a shame, so if any of you could have a word with someone about that we would be very grateful.

We also enjoyed seeing the new tree on the green celebrated and are hoping when no one is looking we can go and play under it. Well must dash, have to go and chase Parchina around the church yard – he he.

See you soon, Parchie
