Harvest Thanksgiving

All Age Service

10.30 am Sunday 28 September 2008

Harvest seems remote to modern life in a town or city. Our food comes already prepared and packed from a large supermarket. Fruit and veg all so uniform in shape and size, you wonder if it can be real. All nicely presented, with looks taking precedence over genuine quality. And we take it all for granted, without stopping to think about where it comes from.

Only following bad weather, or some other farming problem, which results in shortages causing price increases, do we remember where our food comes. Or realise that some things are outside our control.

Harvest is a time we give thanks to God for all that he provides.
