Harvest Festival
Yesterday was our Harvest Festival at St John's Seven Kings. Our All-Age service focussed on care for the environment as part of our focus on stewardship throughout September. Our Harvest produce (see above) will be given to the Redbridge foodbank which is part of a national network of foodbanks, giving out nutritionally balanced emergency food to people in crisis who have nowhere else to turn. Our collection raised over £100.00 and will be donated to Jason Lee House (formerly the Redbridge Night Shelter). The sunflowers above were planted by the children of Downshall Primary School earlier in the year and are now flowering at the rear of the church.
