HARVEST HOME SUNDAY
November 20, 2022

Luke 6:38 tells us “for if you give, you will get! Your gift will return to you in full and overflowing, measured, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more and running over. Whatsoever measure you use to give, large or small, will be used to measure what is given back to you.

But “giving to get” isn’t the point of this special Sunday called Harvest Home…it is to help those who do not have the resources to provide for their basic necessities.

Giving is a choice, as Anne Frank so aptly said “No one has ever become poor from giving”. When the pandemic created a lot of challenges in our world¸ our church did not stop giving.  Our food pantry is one of the ways we provided for those who needed food.

November 20 has been designated Harvest Home Sunday. In times past, congregations set aside this occasion to share provisions, from their own shelves and storehouses, with others less fortunate.

Fronts of church sanctuaries would be filled with home grown and canned items to be distributed to neighbors in need.

Please consider giving and then placing in front of the altar, two items of food, either packaged or canned, per person or family.  These will be taken to LCCM Lebanon County Christian Ministries prior to Thanksgiving. Let’s make this a harvest of food for those in need.
