Hildesley Court 

We gathered for our monthly meeting on the 23rd – the month of Harvest. Sue was leading, the readings and hymns she had chosen were connected to this magical time. It is an opportunity to thank God for his many gifts and was reflected in the readings, The reading ‘The Bales of Straw’ emphasised the need to conserve the resources of our planet and make sure nothing is wasted. The bible passage was taken from Mark 4 v26-33. Albert read the opening and closing prayers and Alan took the service of communion with Bea assisting. It was even more a special occasion as we celebrated with Albert, it was his birthday and therefore there was cake with our refreshments. It was a bit strange without Jean L but she has been in touch and is busy unpacking and has attended the nearest church. We meet again on the 21st October.
