Dear Friends,

I have had a great week getting out and about on foot, getting to know the area and stopping to meet a good number of parishioners and residents of each village en route. What a blessing to have warm spring sunshine! I am very much looking forward to enjoying the nice spring months ahead, with longer and, hopefully, warmer, days. I have also enjoyed school visits to both Dry Drayton and Caldecote primary schools this week to think about the Easter story with the children, and also to speak about prayer and God with the Red Class in Caldecote.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

God Bless, 
Clare

Lead Minister for Dry Drayton, Hardwick and Caldecote with Childerley
