Harvest Festival at St Mary's Parish Church

As long ago as anyone can remember at Scarborough's
medieval Church overlooking its South Bay the
congregation have brought their harvest gifts for this
special service - at one time in baskets- now in
plastic bags. During the service the children are
invited to bring them forward from the back of the
Church and what joy there is in seeing them racing
up and down the aisle with the bags - something
which for the rest of their lives they will never forget.
Nor why God's harvest is for all to share.
