Trinity Church, Abingdon, was decorated with flowers and fruit for this year’s Harvest Thanksgiving service.
During the opening hymn, We Plough the Fields and Scatter, people brought gifts of food to the front of the church. These will be distributed to people in need through the Abingdon Foodbank. In her sermon, Revd Carol Hamilton-Foyn reflected on how food might be more fairly shared in today’s world.
The pictures above show the Farmers’ Market on Friday and the fruit and veg stall on the Market Place on Saturday.
The food brought to the Harvest Thanksgiving was in line with the Abingdon Foodbank Harvest 2025 ‘in need of’ guide. The foodbank operates out of Christchurch and Preston Road Community Centre.
I didn’t know there was a market on Saturday. Didn’t see it advertised. A bit silly having 2 markets on successive days and another one on Monday.
