Harvest Thanksgiving
Sentence
The earth has yielded its harvest; and you, our God, will bless us.	Psalm 67:6
Collects
Living God,
you made heaven and earth and sea
and everything in them,
and have provided for all our needs;
help us to use the fruits of the earth wisely
and to share them generously;
through the one who sows with good seed,
Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Creator and protector of all that lives,
the riches of the earth are yours;
grant that we who use and enjoy your gifts
may never by folly or greed destroy them.

God, as we look at this harvest,
we thank you for the skills we have learned
to make it what it is;
may we be grateful;
may we be generous.
