Message from Rev'd Linda Washington, Priest in Charge
6th August 2022
Hello Everyone
The sky is blue, the sun has been beating down and Summer is in full swing. The fields are being harvested and fruit is ripening on the trees. It is a lovely time of year, but also a strange time of year.. village life calms and people head away on holiday as the routine and momentum changes. It is important to rest and we hope that you all will find time to have rest and fulfilment.
It was a joy to host Messy Church families at Toddington this Friday. We had no idea if anyone would come.. and suddenly children appeared along the path, with their parents, and we enjoyed a lovely time together with 24 children making crafts about Zacchaeus and munching home-made pizzas for tea. Ploughman's lunches were also a special time with Wilkinson Hall abuzz with happy chatter.
Within the seasons of life's changes, Nigel is now in his final month before his retirement as Vicar of the Benefice of Westoning, Tingrith and Harlington churches - which is a poignant stage, with the last one of everything approaching (including for Nigel a last special wedding at Harlington). This all adds to it being a 'strange time of year'.
