Join us for a Harvest Lunch at St. Mary’s on Sunday 21st September at 12.30pm in support of the Bishop’s 2025 Harvest Appeal. We will be providing a Ploughman’s grazing box with items normally found in a Ploughman’s lunch with a vegetarian option. Delicious ice cream will finish off our lunch.  Everything can be consumed from the box but please do bring a side plate, your own cutlery, glasses and your drink of choice. Suggested donation £10 per person payable on the day.

This year’s appeal is called REWRITE THEIR FUTURE and the Diocese is once again partnering with Mission Direct. Their work in Uganda and Zambia is focused on building schools and improving access to education in some of the world’s most under-resourced communities. In Uganda and Zambia alone, Mission Direct will help over 1,170 children this year to have access to a new classroom, and over the next 20 years these new facilities will be used by 23,400 children. At a time when 250 million children globally are not in school, this is one small but vital way we can help change that reality.

Please sign up by Sunday 14th September.
