It was lovely to welcome several families into Wroxton church for our first Maundy Thursday event!
The children helped to create an amazing Easter garden in church with one young visitor even bringing along some toy animals to live in it! Some also brought along beautiful small Easter gardens they had made at home — for which they were “paid” with chocolate Maundy money.
There were craft activities resulting in some wonderful dangly-legged Easter bunnies & birds or “Bunny Baskets,” which came in handy for the Easter egg hunt in church. Finally, there were some delicious homemade Easter cakes just in case anyone needed more sweet treats!
The event was free, but we also raised money for Together For Short Lives thanks to some generous donations.
We are hoping to make this an annual event, along with our Angel Festival in December.
