Long before the summer started fields were
ploughed and sewn
Seeds were scattered, crops were planted, now
they are full grown.
Chorus
Give thanks for the harvest, the sun, the seed, the
rain. Give thanks to God the Father, for harvest
time again.
April showers and sunny weather fed the earth
again. Warmth and moisture both together helped
to grow the grain. Chorus.

Every field of golden yellow standing in the sun,
Tells how God in all His splendour cares for everyone.
Chorus
Give thanks for the harvest, the sun, the seed, the
rain. Give thanks to God the Father, for harvest
time again.
Come with thankful hearts and voices, come with
joyful song, for the good food all around us, now
the work is done. Chorus (twice)

Harvest Samba
1. Cabbages and greens, broccoli and beans,
cauliflower and roasted potatoes, taste so good
to me!
2. Apricots and plums, ripened in the sun, oranges
and yellow bananas, good for everyone!
It’s another Harvest Festival when we bring our
fruit and vegetables, cause we want to share the
best of all the good things that we’ve been given.
It’s another opportunity, to be grateful for the
food we eat, with a samba celebration to say
‘Thank you’ to God the Father.
3. Golden corn and wheat, oats and sugar beet,
fluffy rice and tasty spaghetti, wonderful to eat!
4. Coffee, cocoa, tea, growing nat’rally, herbal
plants and all kinds of spices, very nice indeed!

The Feeding of the 5000
• Let us listen to this well known story.
• Some of our boys and girls in Y6 will help us with
the story.
• In the feeding of the 5000 Jesus made sure that
everyone had what they needed.
• Jesus wants us to do all we can to make sure that
everyone, whoever they are, has what they need.
• Jesus said to give food to all those who need it.
• Jesus came for all people, he shared his love with
everyone, and he wants us to do the same.
