We held our Eucharist in celebration of Harvest this morning at 10 am. We transferred our Family Service from next week to this Sunday so that everyone could take part in the celebration! The service included the traditional harvest hymns, and followed the Family Service pattern, including a poem about the good things of the earth read by members of the Sunday School. The prayers were also lead by young members of the congregation. Gifts of produce were bought to the altar for distribution in the village tomorrow.
The Choir sang 'How Manifold are thy Works by J Barnby as the anthem.
The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and produce for the occasion.
There was coffee after the service.
Don't forget to join us on Sunday 20th October at 3 pm for our concert of piano music by Tom Cooper, followed by tea!
On Sunday November the 3rd at 6 pm there will be a Eucharist of Remembrance at which the setting of the Requiem by Gabriel Faure will be sung liturgically. All are welcome to come and remember those souls now at rest.
