MEMBERS of a church are looking for a donkey to lead their Palm Sunday Procession.

The United Reformed Church in Chorley will be celebrating Palm Sunday on April 9 but need a four-legged participant.

Rev Martin Whiffen said: “Our café church will be celebrating Palm Sunday recalling the time when Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey.

“A Palm procession seemed the obvious way to do that but for that we really need a donkey.

“We’ve made a number of enquiries but have drawn a blank.

“It seems donkeys aren’t as popular as they were.”

If anyone has donkey they could lend the church, contact Rev Martin Whiffen on 01257 273222 or e-mail martinwhiffen@btinternet.com.
