Family Harvest Service

for 1 hour
St Mary's Whitbeck
A 595 Whitbeck, LA195UR, United Kingdom

A celebration of this year's harvest. After the service, the fruit and vegetables can be bought with the proceeds going to charity, and any tinned food will be given to the Foodbank.
This will be Revd. Angela's last service at St Mary's before her retirement at the end of the month.

St Mary's Whitbeck

Whitbeck St Mary is a simple rectangular church, grade 2 listed. Its origins are possibly 12th Century, but it was altered in the 19th Century. The nave and small chancel are separated by an arch, and the interior is unusually light and airy. 

The congregation is friendly and welcoming and the local community are very committed to maintaining the presence of the church and help with its upkeep. A team meets regularly in spring and summer to keep the grounds tidy and attractive.

The church is part of the parish of the Black Combe Churches, sharing worship with the churches of St Michael's Bootle, St Mary's Whicham and St John's Corney.
