Then the earth will yield its harvests,
and God, our God, will richly bless us. (Psalm 67:6)
The Harvest season is a special time in the life of our parishes when we offer our thanks to God for the successful harvest of the land and sea. We pray, too, for all who work tirelessly to provide us with our food and remember people worldwide who do not have as much as we do. This year, we have much to be thankful for, and as ever, it is important for us to give thanks for God’s good gifts to us all and for the people who grow and gather our food, as well as for those who supply the things we need in life and take care of us. We warmly welcome everyone to join us for our Harvest Services, especially those from the wider local community. After our two evening services, there is an invitation to enjoy some light refreshments in the halls.
A Prayer for Harvest
Eternal God,
you crown the year with your goodness
and give us the fruits of the earth in their season:
Grant that we may use them to your glory,
for the relief of those in need and for our own well-being;
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
