Harvest Festival Service 2024 at St John the Baptist

Harvest Festival 2023 St John the Baptiste Cherington

Sunday September 29th at 10.30 at St John the Baptist, Cherington

A message from Sarah Scotter:

‘Our Harvest Festival celebration in the church will be held at the end of the month.

As I write, the harvest was in full swing and hopefully those with vegetable patches are picking the fruits of their labours.

The Flower Team will be decorating the church ahead of the service. However, I would be grateful for donations of produce or store cupboard items to add to the display. Everything donated will be taken to a local food bank afterwards.

It is especially lovely if the children of our villages (parents please help) are able to bring something for the service. A basket of apples/pears perhaps, or a posy of flowers. These can be brought on the day, or between 10am and 12pm on Saturday 28th, when I will be at the church to receive them.

Thank you.’

A big message of thanks from the Cherington and Stourton Show Committee

‘To all the villagers who have supported the show this year, we couldn’t do it without you all.

We are absolutely thrilled to have had such a successful show, the sunshine certainly helped.

Special thanks to Jon Pym and Philip Townsend for use of their fields for parking.

We would love to hear any feedback you may have; we took a gamble changing venues and learnt a lot (some changes for next year). We would love your thoughts.

Thank you.’
