Hello October

'Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence'

so said Yoko Ono.

I can't help but agree with her, the Autumn season, and by extension Harvest festivals, can inspire deep gratitude and reverence for the beauty of the natural world. As Christians we express that gratitude to God, creator of all that we admire.

Our group of churches are well into the season of Harvest festivals, but we do still have:

Denton-St Andrew's Harvest Festival 11am 12th October with Harvest Lunch afterwards

Woolsthorpe by Belvoir-St James-Harvest Songs of Praise- another opportunity to sing those lovely old harvest songs and reflect on some beautiful and thought-provoking poetry with homemade soup and bread afterwards-4pm Sunday 19th October 2025

Also coming this month....

 

Then later this month as we think about the end of the month and those darker November evenings.....
                             
.      
we have our final Lego Clubs for 2025, which have a Light Party twist!
 

This month's photo was taken at St Mary and St Peters Church and is a sample of the beautiful Harvest decorations in all our churches. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to enable our churches to look so wonderful.

Worship during the Week

Jesus called his followers to be disciples, people who are with Jesus through daily prayer and worship, people who become like him through daily reading and reflecting on scripture and people who do as he did by loving our neighbour as ourselves. We cannot do this alone. Find out more about all the ways we support and encourage each other and hear our minister's weekly message.

Small Groups 

A key part of our faith journey is meeting together in small, mid week groups. These groups give us a chance to grow in faith and friendship. In small groups we can encourage and support each other. There is a wide variety of groups and they meet across the West Grantham area so please join the group that you think will suit you!
