The South Moreton Harvest Festival Service will take place next Sunday (12th October) at 10.30 am.
Harvest gifts are more than welcome. These can either be fruit of vegetables presented in a basket / box or alternatively non perishable food (at least six months before use by date). Perishables will be auctioned, with any money raised to be given to the food bank along with the non perishables.
There will something for all ages (especially the children) with refreshments afterwards so do please come along as we would love to see as many of you as possible.
Hope to see you then and thank you so much to all those who came along and supported the Safari Supper last weekend.

We would love your help at on Saturday 1st November. Please do come and help do jobs in the church and churchyard, and enjoy meeting others at the same time. There’s plenty to be done – taking ivy off walls, clearing drains and hoppers, indoor cleaning, taking flaky stuff off walls, getting windows to open, and more stuff we’ll think of before Nov 1st.
Bring secateurs, trowels, dusters, Jey cloths. Come for as short or long as you can manage. We’ll be very grateful for your help!
