Our harvest service on 26th September 2021 had a focus on thanking God and sharing our blessings.
We were raising money for Christian Aid and their campaigns to help some of the world’s poorest people
In our prayer time we were continuing with the theme of praying about climate change as part of Christian Aid’s Rise to the Moment prayer campaign.
