![]() On the first Sunday of October, we will be able to thank God for all the blessings of the Harvest. In these strange times, I hope many of us will be comforted by the Harvest Festival service and the sense it brings of the enduring cycle of the seasons and of God’s bounteous gifts. When a small group of us discussed what to do for the Festival, we felt it important to try to replicate our longstanding traditions, so the service will reflect those. We also decided to continue with the custom of decorating the church with the fruit and vegetables and then distributing them to the housebound members of the congregation. Because of the COVID-19 situation, we have to take stringent hygiene precautions and below is the programme we have worked out.
Saturday 3rd October
Monday 5th October
You may feel that these arrangements are over-elaborate but, as the latest guidelines from the Diocese reminds us, ‘Safe practice is not optional. It is crucial that every parish follows the spirit as well as the letter of the regulations and guidance now in place’. Please help us to do this. Catherine Hodgkinson |
