The first Toddler Praise session in St Edmund, Hardingstone saw six toddlers arrive ready to make music, sing action songs, and listen together to a story. This was followed by a play session with refreshments for the all and a chance for everyone to make new friends.  We are still trying to decide whether the children, the Reverend Beverley or Libby enjoyed all the new toys the most!  The next session will be in a fortnight on the 24th September at 9.30 am. If you know any other Mums in the Benefice who would like to meet up regularly, please tell them about the Toddler Praise.

Just a quick reminder of the new services starting in September .

Following a briefing, the troops were ready for the battle of the bindweed at St Edmund, King and Martyr, Hardingstone. Volunteers turned out to do battle in the churchyard against the weeds. After many hours of hard work, the troops were victorious and the churchyard looked glorious in the summer sunshine . Thanks to all who those who volunteered and worked tirelessly in the heat.
