This Sunday 25th September, our All Age Service of Harvest Thanksgiving at 10am is led by the Children’s Church. All welcome – expect joy and thankfulness with a little touch of glorious chaos as we all come together in worship to celebrate God’s goodness.
Ps we will be collecting harvest offerings for donation to the food bank and these can be left in advance in front of the nave alter or brought on Sunday to the service. Thank you!
Harvest! We are holding a Harvest Supper on Saturday evening at 7pm in our church hall for all who would like to come and join us. A simple baked potato meal with a choice of toppings, and we will have a guest speaker talking about local farming techniques! No charge, but donations towards church ministry welcome.
Harvest! This Sunday, join us in person for our All Age Harvest Service at 10am at St James, or, also at 10am, our Harvest Songs of Praise Service will be broadcast on the radio by our friends at Castledown FM. We look forward to thanking God for His generous gifts to us, in all their forms!
🌽🥦🥫🍎🍐🫑🍆Harvest festival is nearly here! As usual we welcome harvest offerings of food which will be gathered in church and then taken to the food bank after the weekend. At harvest, the food bank welcomes all produce, fresh fruit and vegetables as well as the usual longer life items, so we will be delighted to receive a wide range of beautiful offerings. If you want to bring something to offer, you can place it in front of the nave alter anytime from now until Monday. The church is open every day, but with the added bonus of the flower festival displays on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Or bring your offering along to the service on Sunday at 10am. Thank you! 🍎🍐🍊🍇🍅🍑🍆🫑🧅🌽🥦🧅🥫🥖
We are excited about the coming weekend: Friday 24th, Saturday 25th, Sunday 26th September, 10.00am to 5.00pm each day!
