We plough the fields and scatter

We had a weekend of celebrating all the good gifts around us.

First with a Harvest Supper in our fabulous new village hall, beautifully decorated by Tara and Joy and scrumptuous salads and pudds provided by our talented bakers

Then this morning, Richard led, our Harvest Festival where we collected food for the Steppin Stones centre for the Homeless in Oxford.

If you missed the service, feel free to drop items off to Cloverdale on Monday or Tuesday.  We promise not to eat them, but take them in to Oxford on Wednesday.

Habitat for Humanity Build

As many of you will know, Oliver and Darren Sampson went to Kenya in July to help build a house, with Habitat for Humanity, for a grandma looking after her two grandchildren and niece.  

Here is the house she lived in before they arrived.

And here is the house they built, when they had to leave.

And here is the house after the local builders finished it off.
