Hello Everyone

Easter Week can be calmer, after the intensity of Easter Day and the events of Holy Week. There is a chance to consider the enormity of what has just happened, the hope that has entered the world and what shape it takes. How we need that hope at the moment. Our prayers continue for world peace and practically we reach out offering love, the very nature of God.

We hope the past week has been good for you. We are now challenged to personally consider the implications of the resurrection as the story of Jesus continues. This Sunday's gospel focuses on Thomas and his desire for the physical evidence of the resurrection. His questioning can help our thought processes as we move forward with faith.

Following the calm of Easter Week, this week at Toddington Church steps up the pace as we begin a full week of activity with various events to commemorate St George, and the special 800 years anniversary year of St George's Church. We end the week with a special celebration service on Saturday 30th April with Bishop Richard and an evening concert at 7.30 pm. Different events during the week include an 'Art Attack' for children on Friday, a talk on the life and times of St George on Wednesday and a country walk on Thursday. The week commences this Saturday with a coffee morning, and a Ceildih supper and dance at 7.30 pm.
