I asked a question the other day of the boys up at Wellesley College. I said, ‘If Christmas Day is on December 25, on what day is Easter Day?’ You could say it was a trick question, but the boys weren’t fooled.

The Pancake Party on Shrove Tuesday has become a tradition at St Alban’s. Each year the children of the parish gather for pancakes races and other activities. This year the weather was a little inclement, but a large number of children still gathered and we were able to have the races outside. Fun was had by all!

March 2 was ‘Walk to Church Sunday’. A group of twenty or more gathered at the local school and walked the 2km to church together. As part of the Sunday clubs the children made a ‘foot banner’. Over forty pairs of feet , dipped in coloured paint, walked out from the centre of the banner, a visual reminder that we are to be bearers of Christ’s light in our world. At the end of the activity the children washed one another’s feet.
