So what is Harvest Festival?

This was the question I put to the children of Great Wishford school when they came to St Giles' to celebrate harvest. They quickly picked up on the idea of being thankful, when I gave Jonathan a little gift and they noticed that he had failed to say thank-you! We thought about countries where crops are difficult to grow, about the need to ask for God's help, and once our grain has completed its journey to finished product, about how we should share what we produce with others. And last but not least, we promise to look after God's wonderful creation.

The children sang beautifully and the House leaders read out prayers. They had brought a large number of items into the service to be blessed and then given to the Salisbury Food Bank. It was wonderful to see the church once again filled with children and their families.
