It is that time when we know we are fully into Autumn, as the Pumpkins are doing more than making an appearance. They are everywhere, whether real or decoration, and definitely get us into the Harvest/Autumnal feel. We spied one at Church last night, beautifully carved.
Pumpkins are fairly easy to grow, requiring a little shelter but plenty of sun. They were introduced to Tudor England in the sixteenth century by The French. They are native to North America and have been grown there for at least five thousand years. The Native Americans used strips of pumpkin to make mats. This colourful vegetable is full of Vit A, B, potassium and protein, and so oh so good for you! Their Spiritual symbolism is one of Harvest and Abundance. No surprises there.
There was an abundance of Spirit and good feeling last night with the high energy, as we welcomed Virginia Gordon who has been part of our family for some time. We had lovely thoughts shared by her and then she brought the messages. Well done Virginia!. It was a truly lovely evening!! Steve chaired the evening with his usual humour, as we heard beautiful prayers and readings. Thank you for music, cake – coffee and walnut no less, and healers standing by after the service. Thanks to all those who diligently set up and break down the evening each and every week!
Prayer for the week.
Please pray for Peace in this world. The world sorely needs it.
Calendar up next!
Have a beautiful Autumnal week!!
