Today we celebrate the first fruits of the harvest. Communion will be taken with a freshly-baked loaf of bread which represents the first of the gathered-in grains. It is combined with the Rose Queen and Oak King ceremonially returning the Oak Sword and Oak Sceptre to church as their final official act, although they will visit a few other fetes before the Marton Wakes.
After the service, we will serve a soup and sandwich lunch.
We look forward to welcoming you there.

You are welcome to come and join us for coffee and company on the second Wednesday of each month in the Parish Hall.
There will be hot drinks, cakes, biscuits and chat in warm surroundings.
Free of charge.
