STUDENTS at a Bracknell-based college took part in a harvest celebration, including donating goods to a foodbank.
Organised by Michael Penny, the lead chaplain for Bracknell and Wokingham College, it included a look at how harvest was marked during biblical times.
This included how special provision was made for the poor, by not harvesting the edges of the fields, so they could gather their own crops.
And the Revd Sarah Mortimer, a chaplain at the college, asked students how many words could be made from the letters in ‘harvest’, highlighting they included ‘have’, ‘share’, and ‘starve’.
Her message was that we who ‘have’ should ‘share’ with the poor so they do not ‘starve’.
Students and staff at the centre, run by Activate Learning, were invited to bring items that could be donated to the foodbank run by nearby Kerith Church.
