Description
Ploughshares and First Fruits: A Year of Festivals for the Rural Church
This practical guide draws inspiration from the work of one rural church, celebrating rural living throughout the year and growing its congregation. It provides fresh ideas for keeping established festivals alive, as well as ready-to-use liturgies that engage all the senses.
Inside, you'll find creative services and activities for various occasions, including a pet service for St Francis' Feast Day, walking and pilgrimage, lambing season, Riders' Sunday, Lammas, and a Summer Festival. These resources are designed to be used by small churches throughout the year, making them an invaluable resource for anyone serving rural communities.
