Learning from each other - Harvest Weekend

Thank you everyone, who worked so hard for our Ghana Event and Harvest Festival on 2nd-3rd October.
The Church was decorated with Ghanan banners and cloths, African animals and birds, hens and village utensils. We enjoyed the singing and dancing in church to different rhythms and different beats. It was good to welcome visitors from other congrgations and to make contact with people who came in, not knowing quite what to expect. But everyone seemed to enjoy being caught up into the vitality and exuberance of the weekend.

It was a suitable cllimax to our Creation Month. We thanked God for the wonders of the world and tried to affirm our determination to respect this planet and its peoples. Give us, Lord, the energy, time and means to do what you want us to do!
