Harvest Festival Service 2026 at St John the Baptist

Sunday October 11th at 10.30 at St John the Baptist, Cherington

A message from Sarah Scotter:

‘Living in our villages means that harvest is a natural part of the rhythm of our lives.  

Wonderful productive farmland supporting both arable and livestock farming, so this is our opportunity to celebrate where we live and our local farmers.  

As usual, the Flower Team will be decorating the church for Harvest Festival and would welcome donations of produce to add to the displays.  

Store cupboard items would also be appreciated.  

Everything donated will be taken to our local food bank afterwards.

Please leave any items at the back of the church by Friday 9 October.

Do come along!’

‘Kim Petty, as part of our SW7 Benefice Outreach, is holding a morning of harvest activities in The Gallery at The Hall on Saturday 10 October from 10.30am-12pm.  

This is open to all children throughout the Benefice. Children must be accompanied by their care giver.
