A few people have suggested to Fr Grahame that we do something to recognise and involve farmers in the parish. How might we do that? One suggestion was a harvest festival (perhaps just after Easter); another was a prayer service out in Pickering Brook. There’s a bit of excitement around this idea, so let’s work on it together! If you have an idea, send Grahame an email – frgrahame@bowland.au
