Depict a scene from the Easter story . . . in a shoebox.
That's the challenge to children and if you know anybody who is doing just that then they need to bring along their efforts to Whatlington Church, this Saturday, 12 April, between 2-4pm.
It can depict any element, from the entry into Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday through to The Resurrection, using a shoebox turned on its side as a stage.
All entries will be displayed in the church during Easter week and following the Easter Sunday service at 10.30am regular congregation members will vote for their favourites, with small prizes for those selected.

On Sunday May 11th, the nearest Sunday to the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, the Parish Church will be holding a special commemorative service. This is to honour and pay tribute to the men and women, who fought to win the freedom we now enjoy.
The service will be at 10.30am and be based on a national Church of England template for this important day. Music will reflect the national nature of the commemoration.
Villagers are welcome, recalling that our village Church held just such a service in 1945 for the actual day of national thanksgiving.
Looking ahead to August, the church also plans to remember VJ Day, when the war in the Far East ended. A date so overlooked, except by those who fought in that theatre of war.

Neighbourhood Alert is a community-driven platform that helps keep people informed and engaged, improving public safety by fostering communication between local authorities, police and citizens.
The system delivers real-time alerts to community members, enabling them to take proactive steps to prevent crime and raise awareness of local issues.
It is also a Customer Relationship Management system and is a powerful tool that helps organisations manage and analyse interactions with their users, improving engagement and communication. In the case of Neighbourhood Alert, the system enables public sector organisations such as local councils, police forces and emergency services to better understand community needs, deliver timely and relevant messages, and create more effective outreach programmes.
