Harvest Thanksgiving

We cancelled our service in Narembeen last Sunday so we could go to Hyden and join in a Harvest Thanksgiving Service held at Wave Rock. The service was lead by Fr Ian Maybe from the Anglican Church. We don't come from a liturgical tradition, so it's always a bit different to participate in a liturgical service. The depth of meaning in the liturgy was fantastic, and unless your brain just cruises on autopilot, I think you can't help but be inspired in worship as you read, hear and speak such wonderful truths.

After the service we enjoyed a BBQ lunch together and some even ventured out for a game of cricket. Altogether it was a great time for Christians from different traditions and towns to come together to thank God for the many different ways that He showers His blessings on us.

Some of our church members travelled together in our Community Bus, which was a great time of fun and fellowship. A big thankyou to Vera who shouted us all to an icecream each on the way home!
