Did you know that Easter lasts for six weeks in the church calendar? It runs from Easter Sunday until Pentecost on 16th May – plenty of time to eat all your Easter Eggs. <span style="font-size: 1rem;">It covers the time from Jesus’s resurrection, through his appearances to the disciples, his ascension to heaven and ending when the disciples were empowered with the Holy Spirit.</span>

More information in Acts Chapter 2 verses 1-41.

The Church Crime Evening last month was good – the people acting as the suspects were brilliant! It took us ages to work out who had done the dastardly deed. <span style="font-size: 1rem;">We also raised £160 for church funds.</span>

This month we are having a Zoom Quiz (see advert on next page). Last Zoom event for now as hopefully after the 17th May we will be able to meet up more with people and go out. Maybe a ladies lunch?

Then in June we hope to have a Walking Treasure Hunt around Gratwich–watch this space!
