ON 4–5 August, the Fernvale-Lowood congregation in the Brisbane Valley celebrated their annual Harvest Festival.
Following biblical tradition, members and farmers of this agricultural district donated top quality locally grown produce, craft and other handmade and cooked products to demonstrate God's goodness to his people and to offer praise and thanksgiving.
An auction of the donated produce was held the next evening, with the proceeds of over $2250 donated to the church property committee.
The Harvest Festival has taken place for over 50 years, and this year's enjoyable weekend reminded the community that despite the devastating floods of 2011, God will never forsake us.
