Harvest Festival: 

“Celebration and thanksgiving for all God’s gifts”

 

Join us at St. Andrew’s on Sunday 14 October at 10am

 

Our Harvest Festival service is for the whole family, so come and be a part of this service of celebration and renewal.

 

Please feel free some fruit or vegetables that can be made into soups and pies for our harvest lunch - but it doesn't matter if you can't! 

 

Proceeds from our harvest events this year will be given to the fund launched in memory of the late Bishop Andrew Radford, Bishop of Taunton. It will fund a sports tournament for young people in Zambia.

 

So please do join us for harvest. St. Andrew’s is your church, and your presence will be a joy to us and to God.

 

A harvest note from Jim

 

Thanking God for the harvest is a universal tradition as old as human civilisation. At a time when so few are personally connected to food production Harvest Festival serves to remind us that, despite our modern farming practices and illusion of control, there are still elements of chance and mystery to the whole process.

 

To be able to wonder at the marvel of creation can lead us to both grateful thanks and to an awareness of our failure to use the world’s gifts wisely.

 

If Harvest Festival is a joyful celebration, it is also a solemn commitment: a chance to renew our relationship with the earth and its Creator and Redeemer.

 

I look forward to meeting you at our Harvest Festival Service on 14 October.

 

Jim
