That Autumn feeling…

This month preparations are underway for the harvest celebrations;

It’s the culmination of the years cycle capturing tastes and flavours within delicious preserves (which teamed with freshly baked bread or scones is a must!). It’s the stocking up of the store cupboard and larder with essentials and treats for the winter months along with discovering new local flavours to tempt your taste buds…It will also be the first harvest festival our new windows will see – they have been a great addition to the church, maintaining the style of the original windows with the added benefit of double glazing (so should help keep us all toasty warm in the coming winter months).

Looking forward to seeing you during the harvest celebrations – we’re baking cakes just for you too so why not invite your friends on over for a catch up and a slice of something nice!

Harvest Time…

“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?”

Matthew 6:26

Nature is already well underway preparing for harvest; with the ever busy grey squirrel scurrying around collecting hazelnuts to store up for the winter months. The leaves are starting to turn and fall, and thistle heads (among many other varieties) with their cashmere-soft, delicate seeds are catching the late summer breeze to start the cycle again.

“He gives food to every creature. His love endures forever”. Psalm 136:25

Join us in celebrating Harvest Festival this month on Sunday 5th & Monday 6th. The Chapel will be decorated with donated produce, hedgerow finds, home grown and homemade delights (all to be auctioned off on the Monday evening!).

The celebrations start off on the Sunday at 10.45am, followed by a 3pm afternoon service with Harvest tea. Join us on the Monday evening for an informal time of songs of praise with guest appearance from local singer-songwriter Peter Aston, followed by the auction of goods with Colin Besant. Don’t miss your chance to get your hands on the freshly baked cakes, delicious preserves, and a variety of fresh produce and goods – a fun evening in aid of Chapel maintenance funds. We look forward to seeing you there.
