On Sunday Sept. 25th, St. Margaret's in Wilberforce once again celebrated the service of Harvest Thanksgiving. Produce and flowers from our gardens were colourfully and beautifully displayed and arranged by the people of our little congregation. Hymns of thanksgiving and praise for the summer’s bounty were sung with much enthusiasm under the leadership of organist Elsie Lewis. Canon Anne Moore's address—her theme based on the words and history of the hymn Now Thank We All Our God—reminded us to give thanks at all times, and in all places and circumstances.
