Through September our churches will be celebrating their Harvest Festivals when we give thanks for all that we have and donate food to Food Banks in our area.   Our local school will also celebrate and encourage children to think of others who are not able to put food on their tables.

Acts 11v.26b-30 (NIV)

For a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people.   The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.   One of them, named Agabus, stood up and, through the Spirit, predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world.  (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)   The disciples, as each one was able, decided to provide help for the brothers and sisters living in Judea.  This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.

Over the last few years we have seen families not being able to provide regular meals.   Covid hasn't helped neither has Brexit and the influx of illegal immigrants.   Despite what we may think we have a moral duty to help those less fortunate, no matter what their religion.   If we can share what we have, no matter how small, we can help to improve someone else's situation.   So if you are thinking of attending a Harvest Festival near you, please give what you can and thank the Lord for his generosity and love for us all.
