Business Harvest Festival


You are invited to the Business Harvest Festival at St Stephen Walbrook at 12.45pm on Thursday 12th October, followed by a light lunch. Our preacher on this occasion will be The Ven. Luke Miller, Archdeacon of London.

Traditionally, harvest is a time when the country gives thanks for the natural gifts of the land and the safe harvesting of them.

At St Stephen Walbrook, we give thanks for that but, as you may know, have a tradition of inviting representatives of local businesses to bring a symbol of their work and place it on the Henry Moore altar at the start of the service. Some examples of symbols presented in the past have been books, building development plans, food, financial accounts, a bottle of wine, a trowel, an insurance policy, a scaffolding bolt, and items of clothing. All will be returned after the service.

We very much hope that you will be able to join us and also include your business associates in the invitation. If you are able to attend, please do consider bringing a symbol of your work with you to place on the altar. Do stay afterwards, if you can, for a light lunch.

It would be a great help for catering purposes if you could let us know whether you or your colleagues can join us and present a symbol of your work. Please RSVP to office@ststephenwalbrook.net or phone 020 7626 9000.
