Dear Friends,

Thank you for taking an interest in the Church of St Martin of Tours, Barholm-with-Stowe.

Our next service in St Martin's Church, Barholm with Stowe will be on Sunday 4th October, 2026 at 5pm.

This will be our Village Harvest Festival & Auction on Sunday 4th October, please note the start time of this service is at the slightly earlier time of 5pm.

Julia will accompany our congregational singing to three well known and traditional harvest hymns;

  • Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest-home!

  • To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise in hymns of adoration,

  • We plough the fields and scatter

After the service, we will have a guest appearance by Felix who will entertain us with his guitar playing as we enjoy a glass of wine and harvest nibbles. 

The Auction is organised by David Brown and should you wish to donate any items for auction please contact David on his mobile telephone number 07778 674272 - All donated items will be gratefully received!
