A big thank you to all who made our Harvest service such a success.
There were over 100 people in St Giles for the 11.30 service.
The music was wonderful – thanks to Julie Stanley and the choir. Who can forget the Harvest Samba?
Julie Gaymer gave a fascinating interview about rape seed, beans and wheat. Now when we see the fields full of beans, we will know they will be send to Egypt to feed those who would previously have had an abundance before Nile flooding was held back by the Aswan High Dam.
Julie Dunster from Watford New Hope trust spoke movingly about their work with the homeless.
The weather was superb, and everyone stayed to enjoy the BBQ sitting on the grass.
Next year on Rogation Sunday we will all process from the church to Mentmore Farm, blessing the fields on the way and enjoying some seasonal refreshments – put May 9th in your diary.
