Pancake Party 08
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!
Walk to Church Sunday
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.
Lenten Retreat Feb ‘08
On the weekend of February 22-24 a group of fifteen parishioners went on retreat to Jerusalem/Hiruharama up the Whanganui River. A four-five hour drive from Eastbourne, the last hour on unsealed road, it was an ambitious adventure, but the stunning scenery, the history of the area, and the shared experience of praying and reading the scriptures together, made the long journey well worth it. To find out more, read the report in the latest OUTLOOK magazine (a copy is available on this website).
