Churches get online for harvest season

The list ranges from traditional harvest services to suppers, 'messy church' and ceilidhs.

The directory can be found at www.aharvestnearyou.com.

Dr Jill Hopkinson, rural officer for the Church of England, said: "Many people in this country do not have enough to eat - many people in the world do not have enough to eat.

"If we believe that all good things come from God, and food is by its inherent nature a good that we need to eat every day, harvest is absolutely still relevant.

"Having the opportunity to say thank you remains really important.

"It's so encouraging to see that people actually want to share the fact that they are celebrating food and where it comes from and how we have such a wide range of things to eat."

The Church of England's harvest directory follows British Food Fortnight, a national inititative that ran from 20th September to 5th October.

Using the hashtag #HarvestFever, it encouraged people to learn more about UK-grown food and to support British producers.
