Harvest Service Prayers
What to do
- Put copies of the following response sheets on the seats / pews at the
start of the service:
- At the allotted 'prayer time' say:
- The theme of this morning service is harvest…
- Traditionally a time for giving thanks to God for what he gives us...something
we often forget to do
- With this in mind, I invite you to spend a moment and think...what
would you like to thank God for?
- Choose something from the sheet in front of you...something that
stands out...tear it out...
- In a moment some of Young people are going come around and collect…
- And put you word in these gift boxes because that’s what these things
are...gifts from God...
- Get some of the young people to come around and collect the words
- we put them into a gift wrapped cardboard box
- Finish up by saying
- Lord God
- We thank you for all that you have provided
- Forgive us for taking these things for granted
- Help to share these gifts with all people, in all places and situations
- Help us to run from greed and live our lives as one community
- Amen
