Message from Rev'd Linda Washington, Priest in Charge
1st July 2022
Hello Everyone
The sun is shining, and it will hopefully be a lovely weekend, thinking particularly of Westoning Fete tomorrow and the Toddington Open Gardens which people will be kindly opening in Toddington this weekend. Thank you so much to all involved.
This afternoon at Toddington, we look forward to hosting our Messy Church children and families at Wilkinson Hall from 3.15 to 5.30 pm. Today's craft theme is 'Perseverance'.
This evening at 7.00 pm at Priory Church, Dunstable, Jenna Dearden (previously from Westoning Church) alongside some other local curate colleagues will be ordained as 'Priest' at a special service, and we send our love and prayers to Jenna on this very significant day. She will be celebrating her first Communion Service at Priory Church on Sunday morning at 10.30 am and has asked Nigel to preach.
Tomorrow, Westoning Church holds its Summer Fete in the church grounds from 12.30 pm until 4.00 pm. It promises to be a special time with local community enjoying fun activities and stalls, refreshments, tombolas and Woburn Sands Band. Poster attached
Tomorrow and Sunday there is the wonderful opportunity to wander around gardens at Toddington Open Gardens, organised by the Friends of Toddington Parish Church. Gardens are open between 11.00 am and 5.00 pm on Saturday and 1.00 – 6.00 pm on Sunday. Tickets are available from Wilkinson Hall, where refreshments will also be served, accompanied by a plant and book stall.

Also, if you know of any family in need, please be aware that we, as ministers, are able to make referrals to the foodbank. Tomorrow the Foodbank is the subject of Men's Breakfast. Tickets from Phil Steer, or contact Nigel or Linda 01525 714442
Enjoy the weekend and the week's services and events. We look forward to seeing you and thank you in advance for your support of the local churches.
God bless
Linda and Nigel
