The Dean Writes:
Dear Parishioners and Friends all around the world,
The Harvest Season is a time for gratitude, reflection, and action, rooted in both tradition and a spiritual call to service. It
serves as a reminder of God’s goodness and the abundance He provides, while also urging us to recognize our
responsibilities toward those in need.
At its core, the festival is fundamentally about thanking God for His generosity. It’s crucial to acknowledge the blessings we receive, including the food that nourishes our bodies and the resources that sustain our lives. Initiated by Rev Robert Hawker in Cornwall in 1843, the Harvest Festival has evolved into a significant part of the church calendar, symbolizing a collective thankfulness and community involvement.
The agricultural cycle — ploughing, sowing, and reaping — illustrates God’s ongoing provision. Even in a modern context where food is readily available, we must remember our dependence on farmers. A poor harvest in one region can have far-reaching effects globally, emphasizing our interconnectedness. The Biblical promise from Genesis reminds us that seedtime and harvest will not cease, instilling hope and resilience.
The festival also emphasizes the importance of sharing resources. St Macartin’s Cathedral Harvest Appeal aims to collect funds for our Cathedral to allow us to work and witness in this community and also make food donations to Enniskillen Food Bank. This reinforcing the need to support those who struggle to meet their basic needs.
Our immediate surroundings — homes, families, neighbours — are our mission fields. The challenge for churches today lies in effectively communicating the Gospel in ways that resonate with contemporary society. Demonstrating our faith through actions is vital. How we engage with others can reflect our commitment to living out our Christian faith.
This season invites us to enjoy and appreciate God’s gifts, but true thanksgiving requires action. At this Harvest may we take time to reflect and to enjoy all that God has given us, but Harvest Thanksgiving means nothing until you give back to God the gratitude due to Him. We need to offer thanks by praying to Him, giving our time, talents, abilities, possessions, opportunities and most importantly our presence in His Church. We need to commit ourselves to be His faithful disciples, and never take God for granted.
To our own parishioners, please make every attempt possible to attend our Harvest Thanksgiving Services on Sunday 11th October.
All good gifts around us
Are sent from Heaven above,
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
For all His love.
Yours very sincerely,
