Dear All

As we rejoice in the abundance of God's beautiful creation, we're looking forward to celebrating Harvest together this Sunday with a joint all age communion service at 4.30pm followed by BCP Evening Prayer at 6.30. 

We will be decorating the Church for Harvest on Saturday at 9.30am and would welcome volunteers!   No experience required, just a willingness to decorate.  Many hands make light work.....

At the Harvest Service on Sunday we would be delighted to receive gifts for the local community, Bath Foodbank and/or donations of foreign currency notes.  Please see below message from Bath Foodbank detailing urgent items of food required and bring your donations to church on Sunday.

Bathford School will be joining us for their Harvest service here on Monday morning and then parents will be packing gifts that the older children will deliver throughout the village.

This coming Tuesday (Oct 1st) will be our next Powerhouse praise & prayer evening, so there will be no home groups meeting and everyone (whether in a home group or not) is encouraged to join us. We will be particularly praying for our nation and our world.

May the Lord bless you richly this week,   

Sally
