message

“Celebrate the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.”( Exodus 23:16)

Harvest Festival is a celebration of joy, expressing our gratitude to God Almighty for the bounty we are blessed with. This is once again acknowledged and proclaimed through the celebration, which turns out to be platform to unite as a community and to share the harmony.

Moreover, this year, marks a time of thanksgiving to Lord Almighty, as we are overcoming and restoring lives, after the struggles from COVID 19 . The dark days we strived for health and life, the days that taught us, how much we are in need of each other! Let us grow in compassion and render our little efforts for the betterment of the many who are in need.

I thank God for all His blessings that has been showered throughout the past years and May this celebration be a blessing to all the people in our society and also to all around in this land.

Appreciate the commitment and sacrifice of all behind the event, God bless you All !
