Dear Friends

Please find attached all the information you will need for this weekend.

So, this Sunday we will be celebrating our Harvest Service at both St James, High Wych and St Mary’s, Gilston.

9.30 am will be a Family Communion service at St James, High Wych

11.15 am will be a Family friendly Harvest service (no communion) at St Mary’s, Gilston.

At both services we will be talking about the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal this year, which we would appreciate you being able to contribute to, if possible.

This year the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal is working with Mission Direct to provide access to education for some of the world’s most under-resourced communities. Please come and hear more about the work that Mission Direct are accomplishing and would to accomplish as they move forward into next year.

We will also be welcoming contributions for our Pop-Up shop in Sawbridgeworth, dry goods and tins, also products to help with washing clothes and cleaning homes too.

This year, following on from our 11.15 am service at St Mary’s we would like to invite you to our Harvest Lunch, all are welcome.

We will have a Harvest loaf to share, made by Anthony Bickmore, and some delicious food prepared by the team at St Mary’s.

All contributions are welcome.

Please check out the forthcoming events on the notice sheet and if you need Quiz Night tickets – please contact Christine Law.

Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.

Every blessing
