Calry Harvest
The Calry Harvest Thanksgiving is going to take place on Sunday 5th October at 4 pm in the afternoon. Our guest speaker will be Dr Julie McKinley of the National Bible Society of Ireland. A harvest supper will be served afterwards. Here’s how you can help:
- Invite friends and neighbours to join us.
- Help decorate the church on Friday and Saturday. Even if you don’t feel creative you could bring some fresh local flowers or produce to help with the decoration.
- We need finger food – savoury and sweet – for the Harvest Supper. Food can be dropped off before the service on Sunday afternoon to the Catacombs.
- Bring food items that can be donated to a local charity afterwards.
- Give financially as an expression of your thanksgiving to God.
