In the Christian calendar, harvest traditionally started at Lammas tide (August 1), when the first corn of the new crop was made into bread and taken to church to be blessed. It finished at Michaelmas (September 29). People believed that the harvest spirit lived in the fields and that as the corn was cut the spirit was gradually driven into the remaining swathes. So the last few stalks were cut and plaited into a corn dolly which presided over the harvest supper and was buried again on Plough Monday (the first after Epiphany - January 6) to work its magic on the growing corn. Most churches and many schools today hold a service of thanksgiving for the harvest, but the custom only became popular in Victorian times. In 1843 the Reverend R. S. Hawker had the idea of holding a special service on the first Sunday in October in his Cornwall parish. We have built on the idea of harvest over the years and we celebrate not only the harvest of field and farm, but also the harvest of talents, gifts, skills etc, saying thank you to God for what we have, and providing help for those less fortunate than we are. Have you thought what you might give thanks for or maybe offer as your gift or talent ? For example, have you time to visit someone who is housebound in thanksgiving for those who care for you? Or time to take someone out for a drive? I believe that the most important gifts that we have to offer are the gifts of ourselves. What will you give? Holy Communion at Home Part of the joy for all who are being ordained is to be able to celebrate the Eucharist week by week in our churches and sharing in that Communion with the members of the various congregations. As we are a team ministry and therefore the same member of the clergy is not in the same church every week, we sometimes do not realise that someone who has been a regular communicant is now no longer in church regularly for whatever reason. The Clergy, and some members of the congregations who assist with the distribution of Communion in church would be delighted to take Home Communion to those who are unable to get to church by reason of health or mobility. If you would like to receive Communion at home, please do contact one of the clergy and we will make arrangements.

Not the Editorial Medium type Sudoku On why you should never replace your hymn books The Rectory St. James the Least My dear Nephew Darren I am surprised you are considering buying a new set of hymn books for your church; I had assumed everything you sang would be projected on to one of those screens which are invariably strategically placed to obscure the al- tar – although wherever you placed it in your converted cinema, it could never spoil its architectural aesthetics. In my – fortunately limited – experience of such devices, they provide the projectionist with endless opportunities for showing the wrong hymn, or the right hymn but from an- other edition, which will contain either one verse too many or one too few. Should the hymn run to two pages, then the turnover always takes place some milliseconds after that verse has started, so that the congregation is faced with the snap decision of either trying to sing two lines at double time, or just to join in late, making a nonsense of the words. When we decided to change hymn books some years ago, the reverberations made the consequences of that little event in Sarajevo seem insignificant. The proposal was to move from “Hymns Ancient and More Ancient” to the more recent version: “Hymns Ancient and Slightly Less An- cient”. Colonel Wainwright said he would be happy so long as we continued fighting good fights and urging Christian sol- diers onwards. The men wanted the hymns they remembered from school, the ladies those they sang at their weddings and no one would consider anything that dropped thines or wouldsts. The basses in the choir wanted hymns they knew the tenors found difficult and those who couldn’t read music wanted more hymns sung in unison. When a rumour started that the books may contain hymns written in the last 50 years, timetables were consulted for bus services to the next village. July- August Crossword Solution Eventually we reached a perfect compromise: doing some- thing which made no change whatsoever. Miss Simpson was charged with buying yards of sticky backed plastic and repairing the current books. She put a note on the front of every copy that if the page for the hymn they wanted was missing, they should share with the person sitting next to them – an experience which will be almost as traumatic as being invited to pass the peace. Yet another decision has thereby been deferred for a Church Council to make some time next century. Harmony reigns once again.
