Putting together Connected this month I was struck by how many social events are starting to take off again. In March alone we have the St Francis Quiz, a Beetle Drive, the Community Cinema, Lent Lunches, and Soup & a Song. Followed by the Fairburn Singers and Board Games in St Wilfrid's during April. It's exhausting just thinking about it all!In other news, thanks to Sue Beevers for the photographs of Revd. Pete's installation at Pinderfields Hospital.Thanks also to Martin Pearson for news of a new water feature at St Wilfrid's.
