Harvest Festival 12th October

Bielby Harvest Festival is on Sunday 12th October at 6.00 pm in St Giles's Church. It will be followed by light refreshments. As is our custom, we invite donations of tinned and packeted food to decorate the church. These will then be given to The People's Pantry, our local food bank. (The Pantry respectfully asks us just to check 'best before' dates before donating). Donations of tins and packets can be left on a table near the church door. The church will be open 10-6 on Friday (10th) Saturday (11th) and the Sunday itself to receive them. Thank you in advance for all gifts. Everyone is welcome to our village Harvest Festival.

Just a reminder that the village Harvest Festival is this Sunday 16th October at 6.30 pm. Everyone is welcome.

Instead of decorating the church with fresh produce we shall use non-perishable foods which can then be given to the People's Pantry, our local food bank.

If you'd like to donate any tins or packets of food, the church will be open 10-5 Saturday and 11-5 Sunday. You can leave your gifts on the table just inside the door.

All donations will be gratefully received. Thank you very much.

This year Bielby Church is holding its Harvest Festival jointly with Everingham. (Bielby is in fact part of Everingham parish).

So, our Harvest Festival will be on Friday 15th October, 18.30, in St Everilda's, Everingham.

Donations of non-perishable food (eg in tins and packets) will be taken after the service to our local Food Bank.

All such donations will be very gratefully received. They can be left in Bielby church on Saturday 9th October between 10 am and 12 noon.

Thank you in advance for all contributions to the Food Bank.

Church, Harvest & Food Bank

 Church, Harvest and Food Bank

Sadly, due to Covid-19 and Government restrictions, we are unable to have our customary Harvest Festival, which supports The People's Pantry, our local food bank.

However, The People's Pantry is likely to be more necessary than ever this winter.

To help, the church will be open 10.00 am to 6.00 pm on Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd October. If villagers wish to give their usual support (non-perishable food, cleaning materials and toiletries), they can leave items on the table just inside the church door.

Our Holy Communion service, 9.15 am Sunday 4th October will have a harvest theme and afterwards all the donations will go to The People's Pantry.

(The People's Pantry is now a delivery service; if anyone is in need, they can contact our Rector, Stephen, on any day with a shopping list and he (or another volunteer) will deliver.

Contact: Revd. Canon Stephen Cope 01430-626728 or stephenvcope@tiscali.co.uk)

Harvest Festival Sunday 4th October 2015

Harvest Festival will be at 10am on Sunday 4th October 2015. Everyone is welcome.

Some of the village children are learning a song and will sing at the harvest festival. There will be a singing rehearsal 5.30pm on Friday 2nd October at the Church.

If anyone wishes to do a reading, adult or child, please let John know.

Here is a list of pictures for children to choose from:
1 - Bees or some other insect - Lara is doing a bee.
2 - Working or helping animals like a sheep/guard dog, horse, donkey or mule
3 - Hedgehog or badger
4 - Birds or small mammals
 5 - Dairy - hens, ducks, cows and goats - Thomas is doing a cow.

If we could get at least one from each category on A3 if possible, with name and subject on the back (to help when John holds them up) that would be great.  If we don't recruit enough artists John will get the pictures from some other source. If a child would prefer instead to draw/paint something else like a tractor/combine/cornfield etc, John can work that in. Please bring the artwork along to the reheasal on Friday. Thanks.
