Welcome to St John‘s & St Michael's we hope you enjoy being here and join with us after the service for a drink and a chat.

23rd September will mean there is no
Church service at St John’s as Cragg
road will be closed.
October edition of the Eagle will be available on Sunday 30th September.
Details of October events to Alan by Sunday 23rd September by email if
possible— [email protected].

Harvest is almost upon us. Personally I don’t see the
point in all that veg. I like a good bit of meat,
something to chase to hunt. Oh and I do love
sausages, yum yum, I think they are my favourite.
Anyway back to Harvest. We celebrate it at the end of September at St
Michael’s and the first week in October at St John’s. If we be honest we have
to accept that to a great degree we have lost the meaning and the celebration
that used to go with it.
With our move away from the land and into the cities
for work and the fact that in Britain we are surrounded
by food everywhere we look, the importance of
harvest has been lost. Harvest for many is 24x7,
365/6 days a year.
Last month I looked at the worship of Baal by the
Canaanites and how vital and important harvest was
in the agricultural societies of the time. So much so
they saw it not just as a celebration but turned it into worship.
The Israelites however were taught to see harvest as more than gathering
food. God used Harvest to teach the Israelites how they should treat others.
Harvest was much bigger than gathering food it was about loving your
neighbour as laid down in the commandment ’You shall love your neighbour
as yourself’. Although we have lost the real sense of Harvest with all the
available food, there is no need for us to lose the second part, ie the
commandment.
So what were the Jews told to do by God. Well there
are lots of verses we could look at but let’s just take one
that gets to the heart of the harvest.
‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to
the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of
your harvest. 10 Do not go over your vineyard a second
time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them
Rosie’s Ramblings from
The Vicarage
for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.’ Leviticus 19v9
A very simple teaching for us all not just the Jews of the Old Testament. God
expects us not to take everything for ourselves but to cater for, not just the
poor, but also the foreigner (immigrant in todays language).
I think it is fair to say that in the Old Testament it was specifically about food
as the Harvest was vital and about survival for everyone. They were told to
cater for the poor and less fortunate people. As most of us today do not
harvest food, but harvest material gain, it is perhaps this harvest we need to
make sure we leave some for the poor and foreigner.
So maybe harvest is a time when we should concentrate on making sure we
share some of what we have with the poorer in our society.
It is often thought of as an optional extra ‘giving food to the poor’ but if you
look at how the verse ends ‘I am the Lord your God’ it puts a different
emphasis on the meaning ie I command you to do this, not it would be nice if
you did this.
Anyway all this talk of food has got me hungry. I am
of to see if I can persuade Alan to get some
sausages cooking.
Yours Rosie

Ten thousand years ago, people living in the Galilee region of
prehistoric Israel really loved their beans—fava beans, specifically. In a joint
study, researchers from the Weizmann Institute’s Kimmel Centre and the
Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) studied the seeds recovered during
excavations of Neolithic sites throughout the Galilee. The researchers
discovered that the Neolithic diet favoured fava beans, but also included other
types of legumes, such as lentils, peas and chickpeas.
Ingredients (serves 4)
1. 2 pounds fava (broad) beans, shelled (about 2 cups)
2. 1 tablespoon olive oil
3. 1/4 cup minced yellow onion
4. 1 clove garlic, minced
5. 1/2 cup unsalted vegetable stock, chicken stock or broth
6. 1/4 teaspoon salt
7. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
Directions
Bring a large saucepan 3/4 full of water to a boil. Add the fava beans and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking.
NOTE: If you are using more mature fava beans in pods you may need to remove each bean's skin. Pinch each bean on the side opposite where it was attached to the pod. The bean should slip easily from the skin. Remove and discard the outer skins. Set the beans aside.
In a large saucepan with a tightfitting lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds; don't let the garlic brown. Add the fava beans and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer, shaking the pan gently from time to time, until the beans are tender, about 15 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve
immediately. Why not try it and let me know how you got on. Alan
