Harvest Festival at St Leonard’s

A field of wheat

It is Harvest Festival time at St Leonard’s when we celebrate the end of the year’s harvest.  As usual, we shall have our Harvest Festival and Harvest Supper on Friday, September 20th at 6.30pm and follow this with a Harvest Communion service on Sunday 22nd at 10.30am.   We look forward to seeing you at these occasions.

Poppies of Remembrance

Poppy Field

In 2022 and 2023 Farlington residents rose to the occasion and knitted beautiful poppies to decorate the St Leonard’s church gates in the week leading up to Remembrance Sunday. We still have those poppies and will putting them on the gates this November. But we still have lots of gate and railing space which could use more poppies. If you would like to knit one or more poppies they will be very gratefully received. I will collect them or you can leave them on the font, just inside the church door. If you need a knitting pattern, please let me know and I will get a copy to you.

With thanks,

Sally Wright, Churchwarden

Pop-up Tearoom – a Fantastic Result

You, the Farlington Community rallied round to support Your Church and what a wonderful result it was and how lovely it was to see so many people from the village. The Tearoom over the Bank Holiday weekend made a very rewarding profit of £934 and we sold 29 packs of the 2023 Christmas cards (in August!). We would like to thank everyone who made this achievement possible whether you baked fabulous cakes, ate fabulous cakes (or did both) as well as getting the hall dressed for the occasion and set-up and cleared away each day.

On behalf of St Leonard’s church, it is a big THANK YOU from us both

St. Leonard’s starts to re-open

St Leonard's Church

Good news!

At long last we are able to unlock the Church doors and invite you to spend some time inside for private prayer and contemplation.   Due to the extra cleaning regimes we are required to put in place, St. Leonard’s will initially be open every Tuesday and Saturday between 10.00am and 4.30 pm.   We look forward very much to welcoming you all back. 

 The Churchyard continues to be cared for and remains open everyday for you to visit and spend some quiet time in reflection there.
