7 GoodGymers braved the freezing cold weather to deliver Christingle bags in Exminster, so that this celebration could go ahead in a safe and socially distanced way!

What a great morning! 7 GoodGymers came walking, running and cycling to Exminster to help Connect and the Methodist Church deliver Christingle bags. It was great to see Lucy R in her amazing Santa Hat and Sarah in her very stylish Christmas leggings.

After a photo shoot by the village Christmas tree we quickly set off in three groups, fully loaded with bags. Our legs got a great work out with the many hills and our brains too, trying to figure out the house numbers in some areas ha ha ha!

We totally smashed the delivery and got over 100 bags out in an hour and a bit. Such good work!

Nothing beats starting the weekend with a good deed!

We finished off with quick mince pie and a lovely chat about what's coming up next: we have some great Community Missions listed and I hope I get to see all of you very soon again! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
