Sunday 24th
September was our Harvest Thanksgiving Service. In the reading, we remembered Jesus
warning about the danger of storing up more and more goods without thinking
about the future. But in his sermon Steve concentrated on the words that
followed, in which Jesus encouraged us not to worry, as our heavenly Father knew
all that we needed.
We then brought
up our harvest gifts to the front – both fresh and tins and packets.
After the
service all the fresh produce was auctioned and the profit sent to the
Christian relief agency, Tear Fund. The tins and packets were given to the Oadby
Food Bank and the Welcome Fund, run at the Cathedral for asylum seekers.
