6th June 2021
Dear All, We hope and pray that you are fit and well and have had a good week. It has been wonderful weather for families to get out and about during half-term to enjoy the sunshine and good weather, and I know lots of families have enjoyed the opportunity to get together properly for the first time for months. It has been so lovely to feel the sunshine and the longer days and there have been some spectacular sunsets in the villages. On Friday, at Harlington we gave thanks for the life of Pearl Everett, organist, at her funeral, and later in the day, Linda was blessed to lead the marriage of Grace and Charlie at Toddington Church - both very special occasions despite the rain. It was also lovely to hear the clank and rattle of cans on the decorated car as the bride and groom drove away from the church. The rain didn't dampen their happiness. Fortunately, the sunshine broke through again today which was ideal for people to get out and safely enjoy the countryside and ideal for the wedding and Nature Watch, both held at Harlington Church. Two wonderful occasions enjoyed by all present. Nature Watch at Harlington Church continues tomorrow (Sunday 3-6pm) and through the week (3-5pm) and again next weekend 3-6pm. Refreshments are served at the weekend. This is a lovely event for all age groups and especially families. All welcome. Todays's Church Services within the Quintet are:
