Dear All

Here is the Benefice Bulletin giving details of events in the three churches of Harlington, Tingrith and Westoning. Hard copies will be handed out as usual on Sunday - on the back of the reading sheets at Harlington and Westoning.

May I, in particular, draw your attention to the start of our Harvest Festival celebrations. In Westoning at 11am we have an All Age Harvest service - something for everyone; please bring non perishable produce for those in need. At 6pm Harlington and Westoning will join together in a new initiative - A Songs of Praise Service hosted in Westoning Church whilst at Tingrith at 5pm there will be a short service followed by their harvest supper which has become such a tradition.

With very best wishes

Jon Denman (Lay Minister)
