Harvest Thanksgiving

We're excited about reintroducing Harvest Thanksgiving at Inala Chapel. The Bible exhorts believers to give thanks to God always for everything. And that's exactly what we plan to do on Sunday 18 March with Classic Brass (Brass and Male Voice ensemble from Box Hill Corps) as the guest musicians for our Harvest Thanksgiving Service. A special offering of non-perishable food donations will be taken up in support of the Chelsea Corps welfare programme. Decorating the hall with fruit, vegetables, flowers and sharing in a 'harvest-stlye' fellowship luncheon following will each bring added enjoyment to our thanksgiving celebrations.

How great it would be if all corps in our territory would revive the celebration of Harvest Thanksgiving! In a constantly changing and critical world, we need more opportunities for looking heavenward and giving thanks to our great Provider God ~ Jehovah Jireh.

1 Timothy 4:4-5 (MSG) ~ "Everything God created is good, and to be received with thanks. Nothing is to be sneered at and thrown out. God's Word and our prayers make every item in creation holy."
