We continued our busy weekend with a Family Eucharist and Service of Harvest Thanksgiving this morning. We came to church on a rather soggy October day to discover the church had been transformed by the Flower team into a wonderful display of harvest fruit, veg and flowers. The Sunday School made a presentation on the theme of Harvest, and during the offertory Hymn harvest goods were brought to the alter by representatives of the Farmers, Growers and Gardeners of the Parish, followed by contributions from individual families.
The Choir, in fine voice, sang 'Look at the World' by John Rutter as the Anthem.
There was coffee in the New Rooms after the service.

Coming up we have a Concert by our good friend Tom Cooper on October 15th at 3 pm in the Church. Tom will be playing a concert of Russian music, and dedicates the concert to the memory of our dear friend Alfred Lytton. A retiring collection in aid of St Wilfrid's Hospice and St Mary's will be taken up and of course this will be followed by tea in the New Rooms!

On Saturday the 28th of October at 6 pm, we shall have our Eucharist service for the repose of the souls of the departed. This will include the singing of the Faure Requiem as the setting for the liturgy. If you have a loved one you would like remembered ( the names are place on the alter during the service) please add them to the list in Church.

Further off but approaching fast we have a new event,  Sunday 26th of November, the last Sunday in Trinity, is traditionally known as 'Stir up Sunday' and so we shall be stiring ourselves up in the new rooms, making Christmas Puddings. A giant bowl of christmas pudding mixture will be assembled and stirred by all, and you can either bring your own basin to fill, or basins will be there for you to use at extra charge, following the making of the pudding we shall have tea. Look out for more details nearer the time!!
