Raining too hard to go out to the War Memorial today, but inside St Hilary Church, West Cornwall we still remembered & gave thanks for the lives given - and still being given - in conflicts across the world; for those left behind; & for those still managing the consequences. We will remember them.

Thanks to all who came to the St Hilary Church Harvest Festival today. The church looked absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the tins, packets and other items which will be taken to the Food Bank. It's great when the community comes together for this kind of celebration.
