An All Age service on October 5th at 10.30am to celebrate God's harvest gifts to us. This will be from 10.30am and will be instead of the Said Communion and Funday we normally have on the first Sunday of the month.
As part of our service of thanks we will collect fresh produce for the Produce table and tins and packets for the Dorking food bank. These can be taken up to the front of the church to the Altar during the service.
The food bank asks for non-perishable foods and a list of what they take is given below. Feel free to bring these to the church any time, during the day, in the week or 2 before the service. You can leave them in the Food Bank box at the back of the church (moved onto the top of the cupboard beside where it used to be) or just put them on the table in the entrance hall.
You can also bring produce and home-made jams and pickles from your, or your friends and neighbours, gardens. Please bring these either on Saturday 4th or to the service. Fresh produce & home-made preserves will go onto the “Produce Table” and anyone at the service or at the lunch can take produce and just give a donation for it. This money, and the church collection that day, will also go to the Dorking Food bank.
Please do join us for the service or come along to the Shared harvest lunch afterwards, from about 12 noon.
