The first part of our service at Ultima today was out against the brilliant green backdrop of a wheat crop.
The sun shone and we enjoyed the warmth of the spring like morning.
Wilma played the accordion and Graeme the sax as we sang ‘For the Beauty of the Earth”.
We gave thanks for the seeds and the soil, and the water while planting seeds in a pot.
Water was sprinkled in blessing over the crop and the congregation before being poured over the seeds in the pot.
At the end of the service back in Ultima Hall, each member of the congregation received a packet of seeds to take home and plant and tend. We pray for a great harvest.
