Harvest Festival

 Sunday was our Harvest. Although limited by our inability to meet together, it was still an opportunity to give thanks to God for the wonderful world that he has given us – and for all that comes from it. People had been encouraged to give dried food and cans to the Oadby food bank – so that we could help provide forthe needs of those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

The service was led by Steve Bailey, and during the service the donated food grew up in size around him. The sermon was given by Lou McGoldrick, our youth worker, who reminded us of the passage regarding the ma
n whose response to agricultural wealth was to built ever bigger and better barns. She encouraged us to think about what we could give to others, or become, if our priority was not to gather wealth for ourselves.

As always, after the service, some 40 people met together by Zoom, to catch up and share experiences.
