Harvest

Harvest services are not part of the traditional church year, and may take place any time in the autumn.
Farmers have long celebrated the end of the corn harvest with a meal and a party called the 'Harvest Home'. On 1st October 1843, Rev. Robert Hawker held the first Harvest Thanksgiving Service in his Anglican church at Morwenstow in Cornwall. He wanted people to say 'thank-you' to God for the harvest.
