Parish Magazine – March / April 2024

Welcome to our April / May Parish Magazine. My apologies for the lateness of this edition I thought best that as Easter was right at the beginning of April you wouldn’t want to wait till June to hear and see all the great Easter Celebrations.

We have though got lots to tell you about so make sure you look out for the great things happening at the Crossroad centre (pgs 10 – 11), also the great work that is continuing with Meltham Mustard Seed (Pg 12), We have a poem too (pg 30) and did you know Nigel Priestley has been in Meltham for 50 years?! Well now you do! See page 25 to find out more.

I am so thankful for all your wonderful contributions for this edition. It has made my job so much easier and I think makes a fantastic issue. Please continue to send them in.

The deadline of the April/May magazine will be: Monday 20th May 2024.
