Harvest 2024
Our family friendly, all age 2024 🌾Harvest Festival Service 🌾 was lovely. The church was specially decorated 🌻🌺🍅🍐🥭🍇 and looking good! Uniformed organisations joined us as we said thank you to God.
As well as giving thanks to God for all we have, we were also thinking of those who don’t have enough and there was a collection of food for Wirral Food Bank.
