Harvest Thanksgiving is the theme of this month. Of course, in our scattered group of parishes the season is quite prolonged lasting as it does over 5 weeks with festival services in each of our churches in turn. There is adequate opportunity for us to sing the wonderful harvest hymns to our hearts' content. Some might suggest that this prolonged period is somewhat long, but I on the other hand feel that it has much to teach us. Our thanks for all God's harvest gifts in this wonderful world can hardly be summed up in one short day. Indeed were every day of the year filled with harvest thanksgiving, then that would still not be all the thanks that we owe to God. Indeed, having offered our harvest thanksgiving we should continue every day of our lives in the way we use those gifts of God. A small token of our gratitude could be reflected not just in generosity to others less fortunate than ourselves (important though that is) but in a return to the traditional but today sadly too often neglected practice of ?saying grace? before every meal.
Make your thanksgiving last all year by doing just that. Simple prayers you might use could be:-
"Lord bless this food to our use and us to thy service for Jesus Christ's sake."
or
"Be present at our table, Lord.
Be here as everywhere adored.
Thy creatures bless, and grant that we
may feast in paradise with thee."
May all God's good gifts of harvest be yours to share

DCCPT Canon Mallender on behalf of the Trustees is most grateful to those
who sat in church to welcome the 30 visitors who were participating in the
stride/ride and to all those who encouraged his own walk, visiting the
churches from Repton to Netherseal and contributed in excess of £600 to
the Trust's funds. Including the Gift Aid refund Trusley Church's share will be
around £400.
G E Ferris Ted Ferris died on 18th August after a prolonged illness.
Though originating from Northern Ireland he spent all his working life in
Derbyshire for which he had a great love and affection. He had lived in
Trusley for 40 years with great care for his stock and for the land which he
farmed here. He contributed to the life of the village, the local farming
community and to the church where he was a sidesman for many years.
Our sympathies go to his sons Haydn and Philip and their families. Due to a
lack of space in our church for the large congregation which attended, his
funeral was held in Sutton church.
