HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVICE: Huge thanks to everyone who helped with our Harvest Thanksgiving service last week: to those involved in decorating the church with flowers and bees and all manner of Harvest-related items; to those who brought along items for the Foodbank; to our team of folk who prepared and cleared away our Harvest lunch; for those who helped to dismantle the decorations, and deliver the Foodbank items; and all who donated to the work of Send a Cow...
What a fabulous congregational effort and a great way to give thanks to God for the Harvest, and for his faithfulness. Well done, everyone. There are some pictures up on the blog in last week's worship entry.
