Here we go a’harvesting…
Its Harvest Festival weekend at MBC – and we have a Barn Dance tonight, with an expected crowd of 75 people coming to have a hoe-down, and a nosh-up. As usual, there will be bangers and mash, and a chance for a bit of a dance (for those with plenty of energy). Barn dances are one of the few events that everyone of any age can join in with – so lets hope its as much fun as previous years.
What do we have to dance about? Well, God has been very good to us, and we have plenty to eat [unlike so many people in our world today] – so we combine two things…. we celebrate all that God has provided for us; and we do all we can to help those in need. On Sunday, we will come to Church for our Harvest Parade Service (11am) – but we will also bring gifts for those less fortunate than we are – gifts of food will go to a local Church which gives food parcels to the hungry; and gifts of money will go to Operation Agri – a third world development project. Come and share with us as we celebrate!
In the evening at 6.30pm, we will have the third part of our “Introduction to the Old Testament” – this week looking at the books of prophecy. The aim is to stimulate your own personal interest in the Bible, and to get you back to reading it for yourself. So please come and join us if you can. Have a good week – Stephen.
