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.
