The Harvest Thanksgiving Services on Quinquagesima Sunday were very. well attended and very hearty; about 20 came to decorate on . the' Saturday, and the church looked beautiful. A wonderful lot of parishioners sent offerings from. their gardens, and it was inspiring at the children's service to see them' all coming up to lay their offerings at; God's, Altar.
