Harvest Festival Service at St Etheldreda’s Church this Sunday (5th October) at 11am

There will be a traditional Harvest Festival service in Horley this Sunday:

Rev’d Guy Edwards say ‘Celebrate the goodness that God shows to us in the fruits and flowers and grain of autumn, and all that comes to maturity at Harvest time.  This Sunday at St Etheldreda’s – a traditional Harvest Festival service, with all your favourite harvest hymns.  Children welcome.’

Please bring donations of tinned or non-perishable food for the harvest offering to the Church on or before Sunday, and they will be passed on to to the Banbury Young Homeless Project.

Harvest Crafts – here are the creations!

‘Here are some of the colourful creations we came up with in our fun-filled harvest festival morning at St Etheldreda’s on 6th October.  I’d wondered how our local children would do with a very free-form craft project – making creatures out of vegetables, but the imagination and creativity on display in the photos here speaks for itself.  We had a fantastic time and enjoyed worshipping tother at the harvest service afterwards with traditional harvest hymns and the children contributing to the service.  Thanks to all who came for making it such a fun and meaningful event.‘ Guy Edwards – Associate Priest.

‘Creativity Fun and worship combine at St Etheldreda’s this Sunday. From 10.00 we’ll be turning the harvest of fruit and veg into extravagant and colourful creatures – at 10.45 we break for tea and cake, and then re-gather for our Harvest festival worship at the usual time of 11.00.  Expect your favourite harvest hymns and a presentation of harvest gifts. Joy, worship and creativity for all ages – but children especially in mind.’ Rev’d Guy Edwards
