Come and join us to celebrate the harvest this Sunday at our Parish Mass, led by Archdeacon Mike, as we mark the beginning of the season of autumn. In the east of London, it is good to be reminded each year of those who plough, scatter the seed and harvest the crops each year so that we have enough to eat. A timely reminder also of the many millions who, usually through war, cannot harvest their crops and end up with very little to eat. Our second reading (Revelation 14: 14-18) reminds us of the end of the world when Our Lord himself will harvest the earth, and in the gospel he declares that he is the bread of life who satisfies all hunger.

As is our custom, instead of food donations, we will send our collection to Haven House Children's Hospice who, like all hospices, are struggling with finance. Please give generously on line if you can! Many thanks! The link is: https://www.havenhouse.org.uk/donate-page
