I gave up my career 4 years ago to have children and am now ready for
a new challenge and have decided I'd like to go into business. Do you

Showstoppers! met again last month, this time at Mucklestone Church.
We travelled back in time as members of the congregation, taking the parts
of St John, Mary, a Roman soldier and a bystander, retold the events of
the first Holy Week. Then there were two workshops of games, puzzles and
crafts, as well as singing and some dance. We made hot cross buns which
we gave out to all the adults in the service the following day.
We had a special Palm Sunday service the next day with a real donkey!
We started in Mrs Friend’s garden and sang as we followed the donkey
to Church. Lots of us dressed up and read what happened each day of Holy
Week and we moved around the Church as we came to each new day. We finished
with drinks and cakes which were delicious.
