Like many things this year Harvest will look a little different in our church. But the themes that surround the festival of : thanksgiving, celebration, remembering and stewardship remain as important this year, if not more so.

Due to limited numbers in our Church services we are not able to host all that may wish to come, so we have had to make other arrangements. Therefore, we would value your help and support as we celebrate this festival in the following way.

We shall again be collecting for our local Paddock Wood Food Store which seeks to support and help those living in challenging situations, by providing much needed food parcels.

On Saturday 26th September our church will be open from 10.00am – 4.00pm to receive your gifts of non perishable items. You will be guided to a windowsill or ledge and asked to place your items there. These items will remain here for the service and until later that week before the Foodstore helpers come and retrieve the items.
