Harvest Thanksgiving
September 15, 2023
Our Harvest Thanksgiving service will take place on Sunday 1st October. This year, as last, we will use produce from our own gardens rather than buying flowers from the shops (here’s hoping there’s no frost before then!). Using our own produce last year, brought home to us that Harvest is not just the priority of our farmers, but is relevant to us too in the produce and colours of our own gardens.
There will be several ways for you to get involved with our harvest service:
• Donate flowers, produce or greenery from your own garden
• Bring tins, packets etc to the service for the local foodbank
• Come along on Saturday 30th September at 10.00 and be part of the group decorating the church If you are able to bring something from your garden, the church will be open from 9.30 on the 30th to receive it.
If you have any questions or want to know more about donating or helping, please contact Katie Leitch via office@tpc.org.uk
Visiting Friends/Phone Calls
September 12, 2023
We have a small group of people who enjoy visiting the elderly and housebound for a chat, or if preferred, keeping in touch by phone. This is a very rewarding support for folk who do not find it easy to get out and about. If you are aware of a neighbour or friend who would value a visit or phone call please speak to Dorothy or Marion and indeed if you would like to be involved in this outreach we would love to hear from you.
