Pastor’s Corner

How many of us can still hear our parents saying, ‘what do you say?’ Or can hear ourselves,
perhaps even quite recently, saying it to our children or grandchildren? Of course, it is the
question asked to evoke the response; ‘thank you,’ to some kind deed or gift. It is a
question we pose to our children from time to time, though I must admit they are
getting much better and tend to need less prompting nowadays.

Later on in the month we are going to be celebrating Harvest here in the church. We, like
many churches, will be using it as an evangelistic opportunity, as we do with Christmas and
Easter. However, again similar to Christmas and Easter, we need to guard against us viewing
it only in an evangelistic light. It is a time for us above any other to be thankful, as we
reflect upon God’s provision for us, our families and our church, both on a material and
spiritual level.
