A monthly newsletter is delivered free of charge to each house. It contains information about church services and other church related events in the seven parishes of our benefice (Arthingworth, East Farndon, Harrington, Great Oxendon, Maidwell, Draughton and Lamport), plus news of other village events. The village editor is Louise Summers (Tel:418243) News for inclusion in the magazine is required by the 18th. of the month.

There are usually two services a month and everyone is welcome, including children of whatever age, especially at family services. There are various special services at Harvest, Christmas, and Easter. Carol singing is usually organised around Harrington and Thorpe Underwood. There is a display of banners in the church, depicting the history of the village, which were designed and made in the village for the Millenium celebrations.

A series of concerts takes place in the autumn, featuring a mixture of music, including jazz, light classical, Opera and brass band.

At least two morning services are held in Harrington each month and published in the Faxton Church's Group Newsletter which is distributed to every house in the Parish. Our services are varied from the more formal Common Worship style to small group of regular worshippers helped by many others in the Village who willingly give of their time and talents in decorating the Church with flowers for the services and mowing the Churchyard grass. These together fill the Church at Christmas, Easter and Harvest time.
