Harvest is a time to reflect on and respond to our creative role within God\rquote s creation and our responsibilities, under God, for all God\rquote s creatures. Harvest Festival is still one of the best loved church festiv
als, although the days when whole village communities worked together to bring in the harvest disappeared with the coming of the combine harvester. 
\par How our food is produced is a hot, topical issue. Even people who have never grown a radish are worrying ab
out pesticide residue on carrots, growth hormones in milk and genetically engineered soya. Many feel that current farming practices are providing cheap harvests today by putting at risk the mechanism God has set in place to ensure there will be harvests 
\lquote tomorrow\rquote . Many farmers are on the margins of economic survival.
\par Christian Ecology Link\rquote s Harvest Festival Order of Service retains the traditional idea of thanksgiving for a successful harvest safely gathered in, while including current issues of how we ar
e producing our food. You are welcome to photocopy and use the Order of Service or to select part of the Service, or this additional material, for inclusion in your own services of worship and church magazines.

hrough cultivated fields, including grain and grapes which make bread and wine. Human hands and voices represent the whole earth community, in Christ, to God. The transformation of the earth at harvest is a sign, the beginning, of the final transformation
