Message from Rev'd Linda Washington, Priest in Charge
4th December 2021
Hello Everyone
This weekend promises lots of pretty twinkling lights at the Christmas tree festivals at Harlington and Toddington Churches... plus lots of interesting conversations, raffles, refreshments and more. Do come for a visit if you can. Harlington Church displays are open from 12.00 noon - 5.00 pm on Saturday and Sunday and Toddington church is open from 11.00 am to 5.00 pm on Saturday and 1.00 - 5.00 pm on Sunday. Both churches will finish the festivals on Sunday with Carol singing at 5.00 pm. All are welcome. Both displays promise a time of delight reflecting light in the darkness. (Posters attached).
Nigel and I enjoy taking evening walks around the villages in the weeks leading up to Christmas to admire the lights and the Christmas Trees, and this year is no exception. Last Sunday Nigel was asked to officially turn on the lights in Westoning with snowflakes falling to add to the atmosphere. Toddington lights go on this Monday evening. How the bright twinkling lights lift the spirits.
Our various children's groups have been busy this week with Toddington Messy Church and Westoning TWIG (Time with God) groups enjoying Christmas crafts and activities. Harlington Family Breakfast Group are meeting on Sunday morning in the Parish Rooms for a time of craft from 9.00 am.
There was a wonderful pop up tea room at Chalgrave Memorial Hall on Wednesday, and by popular request there are now plans to meet monthly. Next date for your diary is 19th January 11.00 am.
