StF 130 We plough the fields and scatter The Arthur Rank Centre charity came up with the idea that we should ‘Thank the Farmers’ this harvest and they have some ideas to celebrate harvest at home • Have a special meal, maybe include any fruit or veg. you have grown yourself. Give thanks to God for the food he has given, and for the farmers who have grown it; • Take some time to look at your buying habits and consider buying local, British or Fairtrade where you can. • Put up a ‘Thank you to our farmers!’ poster in your window – make your own or download and print out at arthurrankcentre.org.uk/harvest2020 Dismissal/blessing - Go into the week in thankfulness, practicing God’s generosity towards others, sharing the good news with them; sharing in the harvest that will gather in all people one day to bow the knee before the creator and provider of all things.
