  Mike Crouch with Livingstone Chenge from Butonge School   On Sunday the 28th September 2014 St John the Baptist Quinton held its Harvest Service and Supper in the Church. The Church was resplendent with harvest decoration, produce and flowers and the day was made more special with the arrival of our guest of honour (photo: greeted at the door by Mike Crouch, Churchwarden) Livingstone Chenge. Livingstone is the Headteacher of Butonge Primary School, the school we support, and is in the UK with the group from our linked diocese of Bungoma. During the service Livingstone gave us an insight into life in Bungoma and especially of the children at the school.  He explained the fantastic difference it had made when we financially assisted him to bring electricity into the school and how that would now assist our next project of improving the water and sanitation.

Harvest Quiz   Hi Everyone You will be pleased to know our Harvest Supper and Quiz was a resounding success. We raised £888 (once we have added in the Gift Aid). Our thanks must go to everyone who had a hand in putting on a splendid show on Saturday night. Can we also thank everyone who supplied photos for the Harvest Festival Display Board. It was lovely to have an interactive display that the congregation had participated in. Our next display is going to welcome the new vicar; hopefully we shall be able to have more input from you with that too. (Keep your ears and eyes open for that.) Can we also say how magnificent the church looked on Sunday. Yvonne, Gill and the ladies who prepared all the floral displays did a wonderful job. Thank you. Please pass our thanks on to all those concerned Yvonne, especially Gill Pinnock. Keep watching our website for all the current notices and information as we have a lot of different services coming up in Nove...
