We enjoyed a truly lovely Harvest Festival celebration at The Old Vicarage, bringing residents, visitors, and members of our wider community together for a memorable morning.
Ahead of the service, Sue and Tracy beautifully decorated one of our lounges, creating a warm and welcoming harvest display featuring a wonderful array of fresh fruits and vegetables for everyone to admire.
Our Wednesday morning Harvest Festival Service gave us the opportunity to come together and appreciate all that we have. Bruce played the piano while we sang together, filling the room with joy and togetherness. The service was led by Rev. Lynda Bunting and was both meaningful and uplifting for all who attended.
After the service, everyone enjoyed a delicious roast pork lunch, followed by a classic apple and blackberry pie served with fresh cream — a perfect end to the morning.
We were also delighted to welcome visitors from the Seachange Memory Café, who joined us to celebrate our Harvest Festival. Due to the fantastic turnout, we held two services to ensure everyone could take part. Their visit was thoroughly enjoyed, with plenty of singing and shared moments throughout the morning.
It was a wonderful celebration filled with music, gratitude, and community spirit — a day that was enjoyed by everyone.
