This month's video hymn

Many of you enjoy our monthly link to a favourite hymn. This Sunday is Harvest, so I wonder if you can guess which hymn we are featuring this week?
There are so many well-loved songs and hymns, it's hard to choose. But if you can't be with us in church on Sunday, enjoy singing along to this version, by a wonderful choir in Ghana.

Harvest

As part of our celebration of Creationtide, we celebrate Harvest on 6 October by sharing our gifts. Please remember to bring some non-perishable food items of all kinds along to the service that Sunday if you are able to do so. As in previous years, we'll be taking your gifts to the Protestant church for their food bank.

And after that, enjoy our church Harvest lunch together!
