On September 20, our church gathered for the Harvest Festival — our annual service of thanksgiving to God for the harvest, and for His generosity and faithfulness throughout the year.
The hall was decorated with sheaves of wheat, baskets of fruit and vegetables on bales of straw, sunflowers, and flowers — a reminder that every good gift comes from the Lord.
Our ministers brought forward bread and the fruits of the harvest on an embroidered rushnyk, as a sign of thanks for everything God has blessed our congregation with this year.
Thank you to everyone who prepared and decorated, and to everyone who came to celebrate with us!
