Celebrating The Seasons With Children

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.

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.

Traditionally, Midsummer is celebrated on June 24th, the feast day of St. John the Baptist. The sun, a burning and shining light, is at its highest point in the sky, during the heady and dreamy days of midsummer. The feast day of Saint John, whom Jesus himself described as a ‘burning and shining lamp,’ reminds us to prepare the innermost pathways of our souls, and to make straight the way for Jesus into our hearts.
