Information

Harvest Festival at St Matthew's took place on Sunday 29th September at 10:30 a.m. By 10:15, the church was packed with people, mums and dads, and shorly after the Boy Scout and Girl Guide Groups associated with the Church arrived, (12th Guernsey Scouts and the St Matthews Guide Groups) - consisting of Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cubs, Scout and Rangers along with their leaders.

A total of about 270 people were present, filling the church to almost bursting point.

This pictorial record shows aspects of that morning along with shots of the church which I found interesting.
