Harvest Festival Eucharist on Sunday 5 September 10.30am this year's service will be centred on the harvest of the sea and our thanksgivings will have a distinctly ‘fishy’ flavour.  Joanne from Viviers (UK) Ltd., one of the local fish merchants on the Camber Docks, is coming to give us some insights into a few of the sea creatures harvested and enjoyed as food by us. There will be the opportunity to write prayers and thanksgivings on ‘fish’ cards and bring the cards forward to be gathered in a net. We hope that people will bring, as usual, food in tins and in dry food packets, to be placed in the collection barrows for onward distribution to the Roberts Centre and others, for those in need. So bring your friends, bring your gifts and bring your prayers – and see you there.
