Celebrating The Seasons With Children is a series of handbooks written to guide you, step by step, in creating meaningful and authentic celebrations for your own family.
A simple, open and go format gives you all the information you will need to celebrate the seasons of the year. Both the natural rhythms, and also the seasons that we celebrate as a church.
Please note; Whilst Celebrating The Seasons With Children is used by secular families, and families of different faith backgrounds, these are books containing Christian themes. I understand that this is a very important matter to us parents, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions.
Celebrating The Seasons With Children: The Harvest Festival
PDF DOWNLOAD ONLY: contains 54 pages
The Harvest Festival is often celebrated on the Sunday nearest to the Harvest Moon. A time of giving thanks to God for His provision; a time to acknowledge our reliance upon His world, and our obligation to care for it. We can be thankful for the bounty found within nature. It’s also a time to remember and give thanks for farmers, and those involved with the harvesting of our food, those who process and transport our food, and those who serve us in the shops where we purchase the food for our families.
