Quote for December 2020

“Lord, as the year draws to an end, we thank you for so much. For all the good and happy times, each smile and loving touch. We thank you, too, for other times, when things went sadly wrong, for being there to understand, you helped us to be strong. Now as the year is ending, Lord, we ask you to be near, to be our guide and guardian throughout the coming year”.

Thank You Lord for the Harvest
Lord and bountiful creator,
Giver of grains and seeds,
Of fruits and berries and all that grows from the earth,
We thank you for this year’s harvest.
We lift up our hearts in gratitude to the sun, the rain, the wind and the earth.

We are grateful to all those who laboured in the earth,
So that this harvest time might come to fullness.
Yes it is hard work, but it is also richly rewarding,
To see the fruits of our toil
 and to take pride in this completed harvest.


We thank you Lord our God, for your protection and care during the harvest.
We bless you for the weather given to us for our work.
This harvest Lord, was not without its difficulties,
But we rejoice that the sun smiled on us, the wind cooled us down and the Earth laughed as we collected the produce.
