DESCRIPTION:Harvest Sunday 5th October\nThis year the Bishop invites us to
  consider supporting the Diocese of the Free State. More details here (htt
 ps://www.parishgiving.org.uk/donors/find-your-parish/bburn-diocesan-harves
 t-appeal-blackburn/)\, and the option to donate online. If you would like 
 to bring non-perishable food items for Blackburn Food Bank\, please do so 
 on 5th October as well. \n\nThe Diocese of Blackburn has a long history of
  valuing links with other parts of the Anglican Communion. \n\nIn fact\, i
 t is widely believed that the link between Blackburn and Bloemfontein is t
 he oldest such link in the Anglican Communion.\n\nThis year\, for our Bish
 op’s Harvest Appeal\, we are encouraging our parishes and schools to lea
 rn about the lives of Christians in the Free State and support a number of
  projects. \n\nBishop Dintoe\, Bishop of the Free State\, has identified a
  number of priorities which our appeal can support.  These are:\n\nTrainin
 g and formation of vocation candidates and clergy\;\nDeveloping ministry t
 o boys and young men\; \nAssisting the Mothers' Union and Diocesan Gender 
 Coordinator in Gender Based Violence workshops\;\nCarrying out environment
 al workshops in safeguarding the sanctity of the earth.\n \nThe diocese of
  the Free State has eight archdeaconries with a total of 69 parishes.  Mos
 t recently\, Tash Green\, a member of the Link Diocese Committee\, Elisabe
 th Sawle and Joy Rushton visited 27 of these parishes.
