Harvest 2020

As with most things, our Harvest Thanksgiving will be slightly different this year. We will have a special Eucharist service of Thanksgiving at our normal service times on Sunday 27 September, however there can not be any congregational singing and our harvest gifts will not be brought up to the altar as they would normally.

This year we are donating all Harvest gifts to the Daylight Centre. We ask that you bring non-perishable goods to church on 27 September. If you would like to make a coin donation, please tape the coin to the packaging. There will be a container at the back of church for people to place their donations in as they come into church.

These are items requested by the Daylight Centre Foodbank:

Non-perishable foodstuffs including:

·         Anything that comes in a can or jar.

·         Everything a home cook has in their cupboard such as custard powder and gravy granules or salt and pepper.

·         All basic staple foodstuffs such as rice and sugar or tea and coffee.

·         Anything that’s good for a family with young children such as cereals and squash for food parcels for families.

·         Everything that you might choose to eat if you didn’t have access to cooking facilities such as biscuits and instant noodles or anything in a ring-pull can.

·         Bottled water.

All donations are very, very gratefully received as the Foodbank tries to feed the hungry of our town.
