Harvest celebrated with a musical feast and raising funds for the world's poorest people

At our Harvest Celebration evening service All Saints Church Choir  and Richard our Director of Music were joined by the Rotherhurst String Quartet and visiting accompanying organist Nicholas Woods to offer a wonderful performance of Vivaldi's stirring Gloria within the context of an evening service. The singing of the Gloria in Latin was interspersed by readings of the English translation and readings from the Bible as well as congregational hymns. With 150 people in attendance it was the largest congregation at an evening service since the successful Pentecost Evensong in May, also led by All Saints Church Choir. Over £200 was raised from the retiring collection for our Harvest charity The Miriam Dean Fund which directly funds health and development projects in the poorest communities of the world
