As we approached
harvest, this display appeared in the foyer (Thank you to Vivien and Derek), reminding us of the meaning of
harvest. Of how dependent we are all the gifts of nature that God gives us. We
may not – in the words of the old hymn – “plough the fields and scatter the
good seed on the ground” – but we are still utterly dependent on food – fresh
and processed.
At this season
we are using a special booklet for our services which centres not only on harvest,
but also on creation, as we remember the greatness of the world that God has
given us, and our commission to look after it, and not destroy it.
