Harvest at Winterborne Stickland

 St Mary's Church, Winterborne Stickland, held their Harvest Service today followed by an excellent Harvest Lunch in the Pamela Hambro Hall. The harvest loaf had been prepared the day before at the rectory  - with two new recruits learning the skills - ready for next year!
Our Harvest service was lead by the Reverend Sue Litchfield and with so many people, we were almost able to raise the roof with our singing. The church always looks its best at Harvest and the flowers were wonderful - with every window ledge brimming with flowers.
More people joined us for lunch and the hall was full. The harvest loaf was auctioned and went to a mystery telephone bidder for £20 who then kindly donated the loaf towards the meal. So it was sliced and added to wonderful selection of food.


Thank you to all who helped prepare or serve the food or who decorated the church or laid the hall out so beautifully - you all helped make this a very happy harvest in Winterborne Stickland
