Harvest Festival Eucharist, Saturday 28th October 11.30am

Occuring
for 1 hour
Venue
Salinas Anglican Congregation
Address
Church of the Sagrado Corazón de Maria, Estacion de Salinas, Archidona, Málaga Province, 29315, Spain

At this time of year we celebrate Harvest Festival. We give thanks to God for the blessings of food, comfort and joy.

We live in a country, and a world, with high and increasing rates of agricultural productivity and food yields. And yet global hunger is again on the rise, with one in nine of our fellow human beings undernourished.

And it is not only food. For all our science, our social care, and our understanding of psychology, there are more than 300 million people around the world affected by depression, and close to 800,000 people die each year at their own hand.

God has provided so much opportunity, but we struggle to share it equitably with others. And so we fail to live the dream of our plenteous harvest.

“We eat while others are hungry, we laugh while others are sad. For what we have we are thankful. Grant us to remember what others have not, and, where we can, to restore it”. (Morris West, Harlequin)

Salinas Anglican Congregation

WELCOME TO THE SALINAS ANGLICAN CONGREGATION

'Salinas', 'salty' in Spanish, reminds us of the moment when Jesus gave his disciples their mission:

You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5).

Our congregation is part of the Málaga Chaplaincy. We meet in Málaga, Salinas and Vélez-Málaga: three churches within one Chaplaincy. Click here for the Chaplaincy website and details of the other congregations.
