Congratulations

It's all over - after forty-seven Challenges, during which you've picked litter, fed birds, and saved the environment, we've reached that most special of occasions - Easter Sunday. Over the months we've slowly but surely worked our way to a brighter and better Upton, and that's what we set out to do. The Challenges are well and truly done and, indeed, dusted.


We hope you've enjoyed our forty-seven ways to remember Lent, and, if you have, join us for our Easter Sunday celebration at 10:30 this morning, at Upton Methodist Church, to find out what all the fuss of Lent is there for.


Thanks to everyone who has taken part - we'll be back next year - 6th February 2008.


I bet you can't wait... :)

The Final Challenge

Challengers,


We've almost made it. But before the joy of Easter Sunday comes one last Challenge:


Saturday 7th April - The Final Challenge:



Tell someone something you've discovered in Lent

On day 13, we learned how to say 'Hello' in a foreign language. On Day 2, the challenge was to exchange your favourite book, or CD. Despite those obvious things that we've discovered, maybe Lent this year has prompted us to find out more about ourselves, people around us and the big world outside. If you've discovered something - anything - tell someone about it. Help them discover something about Lent.


Share what you have discovered here at the blog - click the comments link below. Go on - just one last time...
