Community Work Day on Hall ReserveIn February and March, the Progress Association will arrange two community work days. On 19 February we will have a community work day to prepare the areas for the planting of shrubs in the five "clusters" including removal of weeds and soil preparation. On 26 March, the community work day will do the actual planting of the shrubs. A plan by the Progress Association has been approved by ACT Parks to create five clusters of shrubs under established clumps of trees to suppress grass and weeds where mowers cannot reach and provide understory and habitat for small creatures. Approval has also been given to plant nine eucalyptus trees in keeping with existing trees to replace dead ones. While contributing to the enhancement of our village environment, these community work days are a great opportunity to work beside our neighbours and meet others in our community.

Good Friday - Stations of the CrossFrom 11:00 am on Good Friday, the churches of Hall will celebrate the Stations of the Cross walking along Victoria St and marking the Stations. The Stations of the Cross or the Way of the Cross, also known as the Way of Sorrows or the Via Crucis, refers to a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion and accompanying prayers. The stations grew out of imitations of the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, which is a traditional processional route symbolising the actual path Jesus walked to Mount Calvary. The objective of the stations is to help the Christian faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the Passion of Christ. Those wishing to participate should meet at 11:00 am at the car park at the northern end of Victoria St near the Barton Hwy.

Easter (also called Pascha or Resurrection Sunday) is the Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary.
