Hello Everyone,

 
We hope you are fit and well and can sense the draw of Spring even though some days are cold, some are mild and others are wet. The snowdrops are delightful as they emerge in churchyards, beside trees and spotting them unexpectedly stirs the heart. The birds are active and singing optimistically; we hope it is not premature. This week we have had PCC, social and buildings meetings and Linda has been involved with a memorial service and a wedding. Youth Club met in Toddington and Westcaf had a record number for one session. Over 50, young and old, dropped in for tea, coffee and sausage rolls or cake. The air was thick with conversation. People are relishing the opportunity to meet.
Church is a great place to meet and this week we will mark the platinum anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne.
