A few biblically inspired scarecrows are roosting outside St. Peter’s Episcopal Church on South Street this week in anticipation of a Harvest Festival to which the community is invited on Oct. 30.
St. Peter’s children and parent volunteers created scarecrow versions of Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Sarah, Noah and an archangel during church school on Oct. 23.
The festival will culminate the church’s observation of the Creation Season, which began in July with the planting of a children’s garden.
“It’s our way of acknowledging the beauty of God’s creation,” said the Rev. Melissa Hall, church school director and St. Peter’s assistant rector.
St. Peter’s junior and senior youth groups, meanwhile, are busy plotting a Haunted House for Oct. 29.
