A Colourful Harvest Display<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 1866 a visitor to Wenvoe church and churchyard commented on the \u201cchurchyard being prettily planted with flowers\u201d. If the same visitor had visited the churchyard over the weekend of our Harvest Celebration he would have seen the churchyard cross prettily decorated with straw bales and pumpkins and apples, to celebrate the limited way in which the church kept the Harvest in 2020. The cross was decorated by Mike and Glenys and Sandra, and we extend to them our thanks for such a colourful display. The COVID restrictions, now in force, meant that all our normal activities, of decorating the church and having the children of our \u201cPebbles\u201d group, give us a presentation of what harvest means to them, were for this year put on hold. However Vicar Jon had decided that he would present a harvest service on Facebook, as part of our regular virtual worship. The children from Wenvoe C in W school were filmed singing and reading \u201charvesty\u201d things and it was a joy to see and to hear. During the Saturday we invited offerings of tinned and dry goods for the Food Bank in Barry and we were amazed at the response, and it needed two car loads to take the items to the Food Bank, who were so grateful for the contribution the people of Wenvoe had made yet again, when the Food Bank are in so desperate need of food for those families who are finding it hard to cope at the moment.
\nWell done and thanks to all who made a contribution.<\/p>\n

\nREMEMBRANCE SUNDAY<\/p>\n

No Memorial Service<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nThis year because of the COVID resrictions, there will be NO ceremony at the Village War Memorial. Vicar Jon will be using his 10.30 service on Facebook as a virtual Remembrance Day service including the two minutes silence which all can join in at home. There has been much thought about this and in agreement with the Chairman of Wenvoe Community Council this is how Wenvoe will remember its sons who died in the two world wars and the many other wars since. The theme of this year\u2019s commemoration by the Royal British Legion is to be \u201cComing Home\u201d and their appeal is to help the wounded who returned home with their lives shattered in many cases. So please Support The Poppy Appeal as you have in previous years. All charities have reported a great loss of income in these difficult days, but the \u201cLegion\u201d has so many dependent on their help, so buy a poppy and wear it with pride.<\/p>\n
