Horsham civic service reflects Harvest Festival themes

Horsham District Council chairman Kate Rowbottom invited residents to join her for the special service which this year reflected the Harvest Festival themes of dedication, renewal and community.

She said: “I was pleased that so many people were able to join us at this service, as we seek to overcome the challenges we are all facing, and support each other to build hope, resilience and strength, at home and overseas, to ensure a strong and positive future for us all within our district.”

An Address was given by the Rev Canon Lisa Barnett.
