HARVEST PRAYER
Heavenly Father, We come before you our Maker with grateful hearts. As we gather the fruits of the earth, we acknowledge your unwavering provision and grace upon us. We ask for your restoration upon our land and labour. Protect us from adverse weather and unforeseen calamities and circumstances. May this year’s Harvest be plentiful and rich.
Grant us the wisdom to use your gifts responsibly, always mindful of the blessings we have received. Let our hearts be filled with gratitude, and may our actions reflect your love, hope and mercy. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
HARVEST SONG:
“MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS” BY KIRK FRANKLYN
You don’t have to worry
And don’t you be afraid
Joy comes in the morning
Troubles they don’t last always
For there’s a friend in Jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And if your heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say
CHORUS:
I know that I can make it I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
Verse 2
So when your tests and trials
They seem to get you down
And all your friends and loved ones
Are nowhere to be found
Remember there’s a friend in Jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And if your heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say
CHORUS
I know that I can make it I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way My life is in your hands
With Jesus I can take it With him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way My life is in your hands

HARVEST ANNOUNCEMENTS
The 2024 Harvest Planning Committee on behalf of the Parish Priest welcomes you to this year’s Harvest Season.
Consistent with Parish commitment to grassroots evangelisation, our Parish Project for the Harvest, is to complete THE ASSUMPTION HOSTEL started at our Archdiocesan Augustine University, Epe. The project completion will cost N900 Million.
Our life is in the Hands of the Lord for he sustains us through these challenging times, and we trust that through divine restoration, our good works, and faith we have as Catholics will advance in the young adults being educated at the University.
We pray that you participate with your time, talent, treasure and network. May the good Lord of the Harvest replenish you a thousand-fold, Amen.
NOTE:
- Harvest Desk will be open at the Foyer during all the Masses on Sundays.
