[email protected] MAGAZINE DISTRIBUTION Penny Hughes 820253 2 Dear Friends, Some of the first words we try to teach our children are “thank you”. We try to build in them a natural response of thanks, rather than to just grab and then leave. “Thank you” often means that we have appreciated all the effort people have put into the meal, the gift, or we have appreciated their kindness and friendship. So to give thanks for the success of the harvest is as old and as widespread as humanity itself – or at least as old as farming. And the desire to give thanks for the harvest is not confined just to churchgoers.
