Episode 4
A behind-the-scenes look at the lives of country vicars. In the village of Breinton, the ladies of the church are creating a spectacular display for the harvest festival.
It's harvest season, a busy time for the rural church. In the village of Breinton, where cider apples are grown, the ladies of the church are creating a spectacular display for the harvest festival. On the surface it's a picture of a healthy village church, but as new curate Father Matthew plans his first harvest festival it's clear that they need to attract newcomers to the village. He delivers the harvest message - of giving thanks and sharing - and asks the parish to dig that little bit deeper. He is determined to bring something of Breinton's harvest to help the people further afield, and joins a relief effort taking aid to people in need in Calais.
In the Black Mountains, vicar Nicholas is sowing rather than reaping, hoping that the young couple getting married in his church - and their congregation - will be touched by the experience.
Back in Breinton, Matthew's colleague Ruth believes that if people aren't coming to church, the church needs to come to them. The village Bonfire Night proves to be the ideal occasion.
