United Reformed Church Harvest Festival and Scarecrow Festival at the URC The weekend of the 19th/20th September saw some additional visitors to our church although engaging them in conversation proved a somewhat difficult task. I refer, of course, to the great array of scarecrows which graced our church. We thank the river Mel Restoration Society, St Georges Allotment Group, Melbourn and Meldreth Churches Together, 2nd Melbourn Brownies, Junior Church and various members of our congregation who took the time and had the imagination
to create such wonderful scarecrows. On the Saturday we were delighted to welcome David and Carol Lane, who provided most enjoyable musical entertainment ranging from the Beatles to the Radetzky March with David playing the organ and Carol joining him for a few songs. We were also treated to an impromptu duet of ‘Georgia on my Mind’ with David at the organ and our minister Duncan on the cornet. The church was decorated for our Harvest Festival service on the Sunday where we were joined by the Brownies. After the service we stayed on for a bring and share lunch then sold many of the displays for the Farming Crisis Network Charity and raised £194.85. The remainder of the unsold produce was donated to Jimmy’s Nightshelter in Cambridge.
