The cross folded from a Palm Sunday palm frond is a tradition that has been around for many years. The folded palm expresses the Easter

story. Jesus came into the town walking over the palms laid down by the people, but one week later died on a cross. Community Clean up Sunday 6th from 3 – 5 Block yard beach, Keadue. Spring has sprung and many of us are out and about walking on our beautiful beaches again. As such we have become increasingly more aware of the high levels of rubbish out there. We are coordinating a community clean up for Sunday 6th April from 3 – 5 (low tide) and are calling on as many families as possible to join us. If you’re up for a bit of community bonding come to the block yard beach in Keadue where you will be provided with a bin bag, gloves, litter picks and a patch to tidy. We might even manage a cup of tea/juice at 5 afterwards. Looking forward to seeing you ☺
