Villagers' own floral arrangements
Harvest loaf (made by Katie's Baker in Welwyn)
Another village-made arrangement (thanks to Lindsay)
And this is a Sally "special"!
Our 250 year-old organ joined in the Supper too, thanks to Christina's playing and leading us in rousing harvest hymn-singing...
Amazing display from Welwyn Florist
Can you see the carrots standing to attention in this display?
Our vicar Bonnie introducing the Supper
Archdeacon Jonathan Smith and Bonnie Evans-Hills
Now just what was so interesting for the Archdeacon and the manager at Shaw's Corner (top right?)

 We are hoping to move towards "Festival Church" status, which means we will follow dates for Christian  and secular Festivals, and try to focus on the interests of our community, linking the secular with the spiritual.

​After any of these services, why not book yourself in for lunch at the lovely Brocket Arms, originally the monastic quarters for the old, now ruined church a short stroll away 01438 820250.
