Due to the current restrictions relating to Coronavirus we are encouraging families to attend on the fourth Sunday in the month when there is a dedicated family friendly service at 10.15am.
Places are limited and (free) tickets need to be booked in advance through Eventbrite. Please see our Abbey Services section for more information.
Harvest Festival
On Sunday 27 September we celebrated the Harvest with our first family-focused service since lockdown. It was wonderful to see so many families come together in the Abbey once again. The Hammer family helped to produce a marvellous Harvest display of produce from their own garden!
Tim Norton, (our Youth and families Minister, pictured below), encouraged children to have a go at making their own Cress Egg Heads, giving out cress seeds and a visual guide. Below is his effort! We would love to see yours - please email us a picture as the hair(cress) starts to grow!
If you would like to develop the idea of Harvest at home as a family here are some links to help you:
- Firstly, an animated version of the Parable of the Farmer and the Seeds.
- Also, you might like to try the Bible Chat Mat - a new initiative from the Diocese to encourage families to interact with the Bible. This one is on the theme of Harvest.
Rainbows everywhere
A rainbow is a sign of God's promise that things will be different so we've loved seeing rainbows on display everywhere we go - in windows, chalked on pavements and many other ways around the neighbourhood. Thank you for sending us your rainbow pictures that you have displayed...
