Harvest Festival

Ann Lane expresses her personal thanks to all those who helped her decorate the church so beautifully for the Harvest Festival services on Sunday 2nd October: Janet Chettle, Pat Pye, Maria Lafferty, Linda Gammon, Beryl Philpot and Jan Rayner.

**********************************

Pictured above are some of the many Harvest gifts provided by the congregation at the 8.30am service. A similar number of gifts were added by those attending the 10am service.

All the dry food items were taken to The Storehouse Food Bank charity run by the New Life Church in Congleton who were very glad to receive them.

Pictured below are Alison Wright loading our Harvest gifts into her car and their grateful receipt at the Foodbank in Congleton.

Donations such as these spread warmth and joy to those most in need. How wonderful it is to share our harvest with others and reach out in love to our neighbours so more people can share in a just harvest in Jesus’ name.

Thank you to everyone who took part in donating and getting the gifts to the Foodbank!
