St Thomas' Melbury Abbas celebrated Rogation Sunday in the beautiful barn at Manor Farm just along from the church - we carried bits of the church to the barn and a roaring wood burner was there to greet us. In our Service we recognised God’s goodness towards us and asked God to protect our crops and our farms and livestock; with the sound of sheep outside and the view of Melbury Beacon through the window it was not difficult. We prayed for the wider stewardship of our world, and as today was also the launch of our Stewardship campaign, and we engaged with the theological ideas behind giving. We then continued to celebrate communion.
Thanks to the Kay family for the use of their barn and to all who helped it was a great time together with God.
