Dear friends,
It was lovely to see so many of you at our Harvest Festival. We greatly enjoyed violinist Sarah’s playing throughout the service, accompanied by Director of Music Rob, together with an anthem by our extended choir. And thank you for all the gifts of food which will be distributed today around our parish and to the local food bank.
