Melbourn United Reformed Church Harvest Festival at the URC We held our Harvest Festival over the weekend of 20th and 21st September. This year we invited all to come and see how we decorate the Church for Harvest and our Junior Church made a couple of scarecrows. The Church was open on the Saturday morning and afternoon and it was good to welcome a good number of people into the church. We also had a display of Farming Photographs and even some pictures of a Harvest Supper from 1977. It took some time working out who was who. All money donated went to the Farming Crisis Network Charity. Our Harvest Festival Service on Sunday 21st September led by one of our ministers, Revd Carole Pearl, was also well attended and the flower arrangements and produce were available after the service for a small donation to the Farming Crisis Network. Produce left over was sent to Jimmy’s Night Shelter in Cambridge.
