A Prayer for Harvest
“Faithful, loving God, at harvest time I pause to remember your goodness.
Thank you for the wonderful things I have: the beauty of your creation, the kindness of others, and the hope you give me in every season of my life.
Help me to hold onto that gratitude, even during hard times, and to share that hope with other people.
Amen.”

If you are unable to actually go and buy those flowers and arrange them in church, then this can be done for you. Please speak to an Elder.
