Harvest Service Sunday 11th October, 11am
You are warmly invited to St Peter’s traditional Harvest Service this Sunday in church on Sunday 11th October at 11am.
We will reflect on God’s creation and the gift of food from our farmers and producers after an immensely challenging growing season.
We’ll sing lovely harvest hymns and the church will look spectacular, adorned with flowers from a family wedding the day before. Join us afterwards for coffee, tea and biscuits.
We invite you to bring gifts of food to church to support The Food Bank at The Well in Kibworth. Find out more below.
St Peter’s Harvest Appeal: The Food Bank at the Well, Kibworth
This year, our donations will be going to The Well, at Kibworth. Not only does The Well have a Coffee shop and a second hand shop, selling clothes etc; but a vital part of their work is the food bank. They deliver parcels of much-needed food to families in the area struggling to make ends meet in these challenging times.
How you can support and donate
Please donate tinned food, such as tomatoes, beans, custard dry ingredients such as pasta and rice, breakfast cereals, biscuits, tea, coffee and similar essential items.
The Harvest collection will be delivered to The Well next week. We will also be making a cash donation to The Well to help buy such things as toiletries etc, such things which are not so frequently offered.
Donating funds and online donations
You can make a money donation by using the cashless Collectin terminal inside church. Simply choose one of the options suggested or choose your own amount and follow the instructions. Do give time for the machine to process your donation.

Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home!
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied;
Come to God’s own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest homeHenry Alford
