Our Harvest Celebration at St Chads

On Thursday 9th October Year 5 and Year 6 led our Harvest Service at St. Chads. It was lovely to welcome so many parents/carers to our Harvest celebration. The children did a fantastic job of reminding us all to be thankful for what we have. Through Bible readings, poems, singing and prayer we gave thanks for the harvest; shared the wonders from God's garden and celebrated all the good things that the earth provides for us; we thought about others and how we can make a difference. Thank you for all the kind donations which will be forwarded to the food bank.

God has shown us that we can plant and sow many things and that we can have a harvest of goodness all year round with careful planning, planting and nurturing. We encourage you to:
