This year all the children at Christ Church Primary School, took part in the Harvest Festival. The whole school walked down to our local church, Christ Church. Everyone brought a tin or packet of food to share and added them to the class Harvest boxes. Rev John and Reverend Dominic, our chaplain, led a very exciting service, enacting the parable of the sower with lots of actions, helped by all the pupils.
Rev Dom and Rev John led the prayers and talked about thanking God for the harvest, and about how people in our community appreciate being remembered at this time of year. He reminded us that everyone needs help at one time or another and sharing food is a way in which we can help those in need at the moment and that this was a great way of showing Courageous Advocacy.
The children sang our four songs with a real passion which the parents enjoyed immensely. It was a lovely service.
