As its contribution to the Festival of Churches 2014, St Lawrence Lindridge arranged to hold a weekend celebration of our local community. Twenty-two groups and individuals took part, linked to church, school, hall, Country Club; also some local businesses alongside the Parish Council, WI, and Show & Gymkhana. Each contributed representative displays, all including flowers, in a wonderful riot of colour and scent that filled the church over the weekend.
The festival was masterminded by Betty Andersson and was well-supported by local visitors who were welcomed with refreshments in the afternoons. The weekend ended with Evensong on Sunday evening. £102 was donated by visitors, half of which has been forwarded to the Dudley & Worcester Historic Churches Trust as a contribution to their support for local churches.
