Harvest in the Orchard

Celebrate Harvest outdoors with this flexible, apple-themed intergenerational service.

While an orchard is an ideal setting, you could use any outdoor space, e.g. a garden. You could also use this material in an indoor space, using a few potted apple trees as visual aids.

You can use this resource for Harvest festivals in church and/or schools, for apple-themed school assemblies, or around Apple Day on 21 October.

The 9-page PDF includes:

• A flexible service outline
• Handouts to accompany some of the activities - an apple quiz (plus answers!), a template for people to make cards, and apple prayers
• A risk assessment template.
