Harvest Festival

Today we have had two wonderful Harvest Services at our two churches today:

An informal cafe-like service of Sunday Celebration for Harvest at St Mark’s church when our children’s group GLOW led us in out harvest prayers and a more traditional harvest Holy Communion at All Saint’s, where we were delighted to welcome Bishop Mark to lead and preach our service of thanksgiving. At both services we reflected on God’s generousity and grace which helps us to reciprocate to others with cheerfulness and generosity. At each service Harvest gifts were brought by the congregation.

Thank you everyone who brought Harvest gifts which will duly be forwarded to those in need. All fresh goods will go the Salvation Army and tinned etc will St Paul’s Pantry.

St Mark’s garden tidy

Nine volunteers spent a pleasant morning tidying the garden at St Mark’s church – thanks to all who helped. One brown bin and lots of bin bags filled with garden debris.

Coupled with the work kindly done by Shaun Randle repainting the front entrance – it now looks really nice and adds an extra welcome to all who attend.
