Harvest Giving
We can look back over many years and see God’s faithful provision for all our needs. Our annual Harvest Services provide an opportunity to acknowledge God’s provision and to share our blessings with others in two practical ways...
Herts Young Homeless Group We will also be giving foodstuffs with a long shelf-life (i.e. pasta, rice, tinned and dehydrated food, plus toiletries) to the Herts Young Homeless Group. HYHG provide support, advice and information to 16 – 25 year olds who have been placed in emergency temporary accommodation throughout N. Herts, Stevenage and St.Albans. Please consider how you might help someone in need this Harvest and share something of God’s love and compassion with others.

Seeds of Hope We will be making a financial gift to the ‘Seeds of Hope’ appeal being co-ordinated by BMS (Baptist Missionary Society). Special envelopes will be available at each of the three Harvest Services.
Money from ‘Seeds of Hope’ will be used to help people in war ravaged countries to cultivate land that is difficult to farm, as an alternative to prime agricultural land made useless by land mines and cluster bombs.
