Dear Friends,

I have compiled another quiz to offer you. Please have a go over Christmas, and all I ask that you give a donation for Five Alive Parish general funds. The details for how to give are on the cover page of the quiz. I know your donation will be very much appreciated.

Please feel free to circulate this quiz to your friends and family – indeed it could be that you'll need help to complete it, as I'm aware that this quiz can be a multi-generational effort. Go for it – get inspiration from the internet or random friends, and encourage as many as possible to submit theirs.

Please send back by 31st December by email, a scanned photograph, or post to: 8 Haines Avenue, Wyre Piddle, WR10 2RQ.

The names of those with correct entries will be drawn on Sunday 5th January at the 11am service in Fladbury church. Look out on the parish website and Facebook for announcement of winners and news of amount raised.

The quiz is available in in two formats:

1) A PDF file for you to print out and complete
After that you can photograph it and email/post to me. Or even type out the answers on your return email, whichever is easier for you.

(The download option may not be immediately obvious and you may need to click on the 3 dots in the top left for that choice to appear. Ignore any sign-in option.)

You can also download it from the Parish website.

I wish you fun and send my best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

Good luck everybody,

Wendy
