Harvest Festival

This Sunday we celebrate Harvest Festival with a special family service at 10am, when we give thanks to God for the fruits of his creation and pray to be able to take better care of the earth he has put into our charge. You will be given a full service booklet (I did eventually finish printing them!) which explains what is happening and includes the words of the hymns. It also has the notices on the back which tells you what's coming up, so you can take it home with you afterwards to read again and refer to. Not that you have to, you understand, but I did spend ages and ages putting it all together .....!

Tea and coffee will be served in the hall after the service, and we're also having a parish lunch so do join us for a cuppa and/or a meal if you'd like to.

As it says on the sheet: "In the evening, why not come back at 6pm for a glorious choral evensong, which is a perfect opportunity to come and give thanks to God and lift the spirits for the week ahead." Can't think of a more uplifting way to start the week! (Well, yes I may be biased, but you know what I mean.)
