Harvest Festival This Thanksgiving or Harvest Sunday is celebrated in rural areas with Paddy, Sugarcane, Fruits & Flowers from their fields. In cities we may not have fields or farms, but we give thanks to God for His goodness, mercy and grace which is abounding our lives. Harvest Festivals are a natural follow-on to the end of the main growing season and the conclusion of another harvest, singing, praying and decorating our churches with flowers and food. Let us on this day with humility and gratitude say “ Bless the Lord Oh my soul and all that is within in me, bless His Holy name. Bless the Lord Oh my soul and forget not all His benefits”. But many times we may forget to give thanks and praise him. Confirmation Workshops & Retreat Women Fellowship Retreat Vacation Bible Study |
