Addington’s Harvest Celebrations
Oct 17, 2011 - 09:17 AM
The beautiful St Marys Church in Warwick, a very fitting venue for the Fund’s 10th Anniversary harvest celebrations.
Addington Fund were extremely fortunate last week to be able to use the beautiful St Mary’s Church in the heart of Warwick for their Harvest Celebration Service. The event, which added to the Fund’s 10th Anniversary celebrations gave prayer, thanksgiving and blessing to all those that have helped the Fund since its inception in 2001.
The Service was opened by Revd Dr Vaughan Roberts, Rector at St Mary’s who also bestowed us the use of the Church’s choir, giving a wonderful atmosphere to the rural themed hymns.
Addington were lucky enough to be welcomed by two Bishops at the Event which took place on Tuesday 11th October. Rt Revd John Stryoan, Bishop of Warwick who is also a trustee of the Fund joined forces with Rt Revd Anthony Priddis, former Bishop of Warwick but more recently of Hereford. Bishop Anthony gave a wonderful Harvest Address, reflecting on how the farming industry has changed in the last 10 years.
We are extremely grateful to Revd Canon Barbara Clutton who was instrumental in putting the Service together. Barbara is a great friend of Addington and will also be leading our annual Advent Carol Service in Monks Kirby from 7pm on the 1st December 2011. If you would like to join us, you would be made most welcome.
