Harvest Across the Benefice

On Sunday 10th September all three of our churches celebrated harvest with special services featuring a number of popular Harvest hymns and offering thanks for the bountiful world in which we live. Beautiful seasonal flower arrangements were also on display.

Following its Harvest Service each church held a Harvest Lunch for church members and others in the local community to join together to share food and fellowship.

At All Saints a delicious lunch of homemade soup and crumbles was served.

In Winscombe over 60 people enjoyed lunch together. The spread of cold meats with an assortment of salads was followed by fruit crumbles and cream. It was lovely to see so many people joining together for our first post pandemic Harvest Lunch. ‘Just like the good old days’ was the comment from many.

And St John the Baptist, in Churchill, welcomed parishioners to enjoy a sumptuous lunch to reflect and celebrate  Harvest Sunday.  30 guests attended the event held and catered by the Fund Raising Team.
