All is safely gathered in
ere the winter storms begin...
Celebrating Harvest!
All of this season's crops are safely gathered in from the fields around our villages and have been for some time. Thanks to climate change, this summer's crops were harvested early. Our fields are waiting to be ploughed and the seed and grain sown for next year's harvest. The cycle of life continues. God and his farmers are always busy creating new life and growth.
We invite you to come and celebrate Harvest with us! During Harvest-tide, we will be thinking about God's generosity to us and all life on Earth and contemplating what's our response to this.
