A Bit of History: Harvest festivals date back to ancient times, celebrating the successful gathering of crops and offering thanks to God for His provision. This tradition has continued through the centuries, evolving into a time of community celebration and charity. Today, it remains a special occasion to gather with family and friends, reflect on the bounty of nature, and contribute to the welfare of others.

Relevance Today: In our modern world, the Harvest festival serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to the land and the importance of gratitude. Itโ€™s a time to pause, reflect on our blessings, and extend our generosity to those less fortunate. As we celebrate, we honour the tradition of giving back and supporting our community.

Join us in this joyful celebration where "All Are Welcome. All Are Loved." Letโ€™s come together to give thanks and make a positive impact in our community.
