HARVEST - A MULTICULTURAL CELEBRATION

On October 7, 2007 as the Christian Church worldwide celebrates World Communion Sunday we at First Presbyterian Church will also be celebrating HARVEST. Almost every cultural community in the world that engages in agriculture has some sort of Harvest Celebration to give thanks to the creator for the gifts of the earth. Our Multicultural Team found that our Jamaican Members and our Ghanaian members had a similar tradition of bringing a portion of the crops they grow to Church for Harvest Celebration where they are displayed in the sanctuary and then sold or auctioned to raise money for the Church. We will be doing the same thing, except that the profits from the sale of the donated produce will be used to help feed impoverished people in Hartford through MANNA, a program of Hands on Hartford (formerly Center City Churches).

In the Presbyterian Church we also receive an Offering for Peacemaking on this Sunday.

Come and join us on this or any other Sunday at 10:30 AM. First Presbyterian Church
