Personal note:
Lovesong in Harvest grew out of an understanding of friendship and relationship which we owe in large measure to the church we belonged to during our student days at Bristol University. We greatly appreciate the personal integrity and humility of those who led Bristol Christian Fellowship then - Peter & Linda Lyne, Tony & Muriel Pullin, Dave & Rhi Day and Steve & Chris Hepden.
We continue to value our friendships with them and with so many others of our contemporaries with whom we shared our formative experiences of Christian faith and practice.
We thank all our friends who have freely given their time and talents in previous performances of Lovesong in Harvest:
in Russia, New Zealand and the UK (Bristol, London, Cobham, Nailsea).
We remember you all with affection!
Acknowledgements:
"I will betroth you" is an arrangement of a song by our friend Tony Pullin who was closely involved in early productions of Lovesong in Harvest in the 1970s in our church in Bristol.
"Cover me" is adapted from a song by Edward G Miller featured in David & Dale Garratt's 1972 Scripture in Song album
Prepare Ye the Way Part II.
