Dear friends,
Tomorrow morning you are invited to join us for a Macmillan coffee morning as we raise money and awareness to support those living with cancer. Bring a friend, enjoy some wonderful homemade cakes and a cup of something warm. We’ll be open from 9am - 12noon at St. Stephen’s Upper Basildon. If you can’t make it but would still like to donate, please do so through the link here:
After kick starting Harvest celebrations so wonderfully at Aldworth last Sunday, we continue with our wonderful Harvest Festival celebrations across the benefice this weekend:
10am at St. Stephens Basildon for a Harvest Bacon Butty Sunday. More details below.
11am at St. Clement’s Ashampstead for our Harvest Festival service followed by Harvest Lunch in the village hall. Details below.
Please do bring any harvest gifts of food or tinned produce to the services or churches beforehand and we will give thanks to God before distributing them to local charities and food banks.
Look forward to seeing you.
Love,
Grant
