Hello Everyone
On this sunny evening, we hope you have had chance today to enjoy the sunshine. We have been so grateful for the bright weather this week which is so restorative.
This week is the last week for our weekly Sunday recorded service as numbers attending our churches each Sunday have steadily increased and subsequently, numbers attending the recorded service have reduced. We have therefore decided that it is time to move forward in church with the regular services and to lay down the current form of recorded service, which has been a blessed link to us all during this long lockdown. If by chance you would still appreciate a weekly recorded service of some form, please let us know and we will see what might be possible in the future.
There have been some last minute changes to the planned services and APCM meetings for this week due to new Covid guidelines issued by the Church of England about APCM meetings ie: it is not possible yet to host physical meetings in church until after May 17th and so we have faced the option of whether to postpone the meeting until we can meet in person, or to take the meeting online. Here are the plans for this Sunday's services and this week's events:
This Sunday' Services:
Chalgrave Church 9.30am Holy Communion Service but no APCM meeting at 10.30am. (This will be held after May 17th)
Toddington Church 11am Holy Communion Service (Service now possible)
Toddington Church 3pm St George of England short family service (with a small Treasure Hunt afterwards).
Harlington Church 9.30am Morning Worship (with Jenna Dearden preaching)
Tingrith Church 3pm Afternoon Worship
Westoning Church 11am Morning Worship
The Upper Room online worship at 6pm - link available from Rev'd Linda.
This week's Recorded Service will be on the usual link, accessible on Harlington Church website, via each church website, or Facebook page, or A Church Near You, or by clicking this link:
https://www.harlingtonchurch.org/worship-services-2/this-sundays-service/
APCM Meetings:
Chalgrave Church - Cancelled for this Sunday. Will be held after May 17th
Westoning APCM 7.45pm - not in church. To be hosted on zoom.
Harlington APCM 7.30pm on Tuesday - not in church. To be hosted on zoom.
Tingrith APCM 5pm on Wednesday - not in church. To be hosted on zoom.

PCC meeting for Toddington Church (6.30pm?)
Tuesday: Morning Prayer by Zoom at 9.30am - link available from Rev'd Linda
Wednesday: Toddipedia Quiz night 8pm by zoom. Cost per team £5
Prayers
Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who are sick and to those who grieve, remembering particularly:
Pearl, Peter and Sylvia of Harlington Church who are sick, and the Osborne family and the Chapman Family who grieve the loss of Gillian and Ted respectively.
At Westoning we hold Kitty's family in our prayers and thank God for Kitty's life and fellowship as a member of the church family.
At Toddington we hold the Heal family and the Harris family in our thoughts and prayers as they grieve for 'Ged' (Geraldine) and June respectively.
We also pray for all couples planning their weddings this year, and for those to be baptised.
And so, as we look forward this week, we thank you all for your kindness and care and fellowship. Have a good week. Look after yourselves and may God bless you and your families and keep you safe.
With love and prayers
Linda and Nigel

Hello Everyone
We hope you are well and have had a good week? The weather has been lovely with some beautiful sunshine.
As I typed this email I watched for the second time, the funeral of HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh which was very moving. We extend our condolences and prayers for Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family and pay tribute to the long, dedicated life of service, commitment, leadership and inspiration of HRH Prince Philip. The funeral was particularly poignant as we identified, as I am sure many of you will also have identified, with the trauma of grief in isolation and separation during these Covid restrictive conditions. Our thoughts go to all who have been bereaved.
This week, we have been offered a welcome opportunity for a breather by the Readers who have kindly offered to prepare the Recorded service and will also be leading this Sunday's morning services. They also led the Prayer Services of Remembrance for HRH Prince Philip on Friday and we offer them our sincere thanks. Thank you also to those who rang the bells today.
This week's services are:

Hello Everyone,
We hope you have had a good week and a restful time over Easter. We loved celebrating Easter Day within the churches as we gathered together again, with many of you returning to church for the first time for a while. The churches were decorated so beautifully with lilies to remember loved ones who had died, and also with Spring Flowers to symbolically remind us of New Life, as we gathered to worship God together, in the knowledge of Jesus' resurrection, sharing Holy Communion for the first time for many months and with organ music ringing out, and in some cases bells tolling above with Easter tunes. It was a wonderful celebration day. Thank you to all who contributed in some way.
Thank you also for walking the journey towards Easter on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
This weekend, we are absorbing the sad news of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh on Friday and we will offer prayers for him, for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and for the Royal Family in our church services tomorrow. There is also opportunity for us all to hold them in our prayers this week during the official week of mourning and remembrance as preparations are made for his funeral next Saturday 17th April at 3pm. Suggested prayers, which you may wish to use, are attached above.
Sunday services this week:
Harlington Church - Morning Worship at 9.30am
Chalgrave Church - Holy Communion at 9.30am
Toddington Church - Holy Communion at 11am
Westoning Church - Morning Worship at 11am
The Upper Room at 6pm by Zoom - please contact Rev'd Linda for link.
The Recorded Service should appear on the usual link: https://www.harlingtonchurch.org/worship-services-2/this-sundays-service/
We plan to continue the pre-recorded Audio Services until the end of April.
Services and events this week:

We thank God on Easter Sunday for the Resurrection of Jesus and for his tremendous outpouring of love for us all.

Actions we can all take to continue Living God’s Love during the COVID-19 outbreak
We can still find new ways to pray, to worship and to serve with ‘generosity and joy, imagination and courage’.
Across our diocese, we can pray for our families, our neighbours, our local health workers and for all those charged with making difficult decisions at this challenging time. The Lord’s Prayer asks God to meet our daily needs and to protect us from evil. Why not pray it every time we wash our hands?
We are humbled by the extraordinary response of so many people and churches to love their neighbours at this time. Church members, along with people across the community, are contacting the isolated, picking up shopping and calming fears.
Meanwhile please join us in praying regularly:
Living God, draw us deeper into your love;
Jesus our Lord, send us to care and serve;
Holy Spirit, make us heralds of good news.
Stir us, strengthen us, teach and inspire us to live your love with generosity and joy, imagination and courage;
for the sake of your world and in the name of Jesus,
Amen.
