Union United Church of Christ, Neffs, will celebrate Harvest Home at the 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Sept. 22 worship services.

Here is a time to be thankful for God’s gifts of sun and rain and the farmers whose hard work provides our food.

This year’s Harvest Home will be in memory of the Rev. Thomas Thomas, senior pastor of Union UCC for 30 years.

In his honor, participants are invited to double their usual food donations.

Pastor Thomas, who loved to work in his garden and was known for his carefully tended compost which he used to enrich the soil, was dedicated to fighting hunger in the local community and around the world.

Food donations of produce, canned goods and grocery items will be given to the Northern Lehigh Food Bank.

On Sunday Funday, Sept. 29, guest musician Steven Courtney will entertain at the 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. worship services.
