Harvest Festival Service


Hands to work and feet to run
Hands to work and feet to run –
God’s good gifts to me and you;
Hands and feet he gave to us
To help each other the whole day
through.

Eyes to see and ears to hear –
God’s good gifts to me and you;
Eyes and ears he gave to us
To help each other the whole day
through

Minds to think and hearts to love –
God’s good gifts to me and you;
Minds and hearts he gave to us
To help each other the whole day
through

 


 

The Childrens Harvest Festival Service was held in a beautifully bedecked St Andrew’s Church, on Wednesday 22nd September.


Harvest gifts were offered and then the children conducted the service during which they enacted ‘The little red hen and the grains of wheat’, each one artistically dressed to represent a member of the ‘farm yard’ or other ‘story character’.

It was then time for the well attended congregation, made up of family, friends and villagers, to participate, with a round being sung in four parts, with the encouragement of Canon Richard Ormston.

Songs and hymns were sung to the accompaniment of Mr O’Shea, on the piano and Canon Ormston who brought along his guitar.

It was a joyous occasion for all involved and thanks go to those whose efforts made the occasion possible and to all who came along and gave their support.
