Thanksgiving Service for the life of Lynn Worrell
The funeral of Lynn Worrall will take place on Thursday 22nd February 2pm at Lidlington Chapel followed by a private committal in Lidlington Churchyard.
Lynn was a much loved member of the community and a faithful follower of Jesus, the funeral will be a celebration of her life as well as a goodbye. Please wear bright colours if you would like to.
No flowers please but donations are most welcome. These will be split between Lynn’s two favourite charities, the NEED Project and a South African Charity supporting the very poor and marginalised children which Lynn had family connections to.
The wake will be held in the Church Hall opposite the Chapel. For those travelling who do not know the area the postcode is MK43 0RJ
Please could you let us know if you are likely to attend the funeral for catering purposes. Thank you.

This took place at the Great Brickhill Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin. It was a lovely family service led by the Rev John Waller, with members of Lidlington Church and St Mary’s taking part. As well as the resident pianist Andrew from St. Mary’s, Lidlington Church’s worship band, the AJ’s played several modern worship songs.

Oskar loves Peter Rabbit and God loves Oskar.
Lidlington Helping Hands
The village care scheme Lidlington Helping Hands has been awarded a certificate for the work they do. Started in 2002 and run by the Church, we have a number of very dedicated volunteers who collect prescriptions, do shopping, taking people to doctors and hospital appointments. Virtually all of the work involves driving because people can be very isolated in our village due to the lack of public transport. More volunteers are always welcome. During Covid we run the Lidlington Good Neighbour Scheme which was very successful. The Church worked with the shop delivering phoned in orders, collecting medication and supporting those people shielding. A big thank you to Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity for the Certificate and for all their work in supporting our community.
Live music event in aid of Autism Bedfordshire. Head over to The Green Man Lidlington 29th May between 2pm and 6pm and enjoy music from local artists!

The beauty of nature symbolising the hope of the resurrection

The Good Friday Cross
The Chains that bind us – the emotions we hold onto which hold us back from the wonderful gift of freedom which only Jesus can give.
Psalm 107;13-16
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,and he saved them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains.
15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
16 for he breaks down gates of bronze
and cuts through bars of iron.
