Harvest updates

On the principle of better late than never...
a wee update on our Harvest Thanksgiving service on Sunday 11 October, mostly in pictures.

An all-age, interactive time was had during our service, which included some dire punning using fruit to give an overview of some major bible themes.  And with no shame at all, yes, in places, it was berry, berry bad - with Adam and Eve as the first pear/ pair of humans, with Christians encouraged to produce grapefruit/ great fruit in their lives...okay, I'll stop.
Our church singing group provided us with a musical call to worship, and along with our young people, helped to create the sound effects used in our 'story of Creation' bible reading.

Harvest gifts were brought and left around the Communion table - with some provided by our friends at Abington and Crawford Primary Schools, who held a Harvest service in the church on Thursday morning.

The windows were stunningly decorated by our nine different villages, with an amazing variety of flowers and scents. All in all, the place looked fabulous.  A simple Harvest lunch followed the service.  Thereafter, fresh produce was sent to Clannalba, and around various homes in the parish, while dry and tinned goods were taken up to Clydesdale Foodbank.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped make our Harvest great!
