Good day everyone in the house,how was our day today,hope we all had a wonderful day, we thank God for everything,on a good mood💃iam so happy to bring to us here,one of my sweetest day during the weekend which was on Sunday 21/11/21,it was a Sunday filled with merriment,I worships in Anglican Church,my church is a well known Anglican Church in Nigeria,(St.Bartholomew's Ang. Church Aguda Surulere)sited in Lagos.

Introduction

One of the most celebrated period in Anglican churches is the harvest thanksgiving period and the bazaar day,we had our harvest thanksgiving round off/Bazaar on Sunday,it was a day filled with fun,in my church we have five different harvest groups,with these harvest groups,harvest thanksgiving is seen as a competition and a sort of creating fun in our church,therefore iam going to narrate in details the five harvest groups we have in our church, what they are known for,their symbols as a harvest group their names and their performances.during this Sunday harvest thanksgiving/bazaar,the five groups participated in the thanksgiving,selling of food in their various stand and also entertained their various invitees at the bazaar ground.

The five harvest groups are as follows

*Otu Udo
*Otu Ihunanya
*Otu Iruoma
*Otu Ebube
*Otu Obioma

Each group is expected to mobilize their members,to come out en masse to participate in every activities of the harvest,each group aim is to see that their group come first and have the trophy for the first position at the end of the harvest year,thereby participating financially,socially and otherwise,the
day of harvest thanksgiving/bazaar is not actually the day for the final result,but it is the day of the grand finale of our harvest thanksgiving,which is also the bazaar day,the bazaar is normally the day the church sells all they got from the harvest thanksgivings,its been sold as bazaar items,and also foods and drinks are been sold to people during the bazaar too,the foods, drinks and items bought in the Church on this day are believed to be special and blessed.

Otu Udo

The Otu Udo,have their stand at the bazzar ground where they sell their bazaar food and drinks to people,firstly Otu Udo is one of the active harvest group of our church,they are been chaired by their harvest group chairman Engr. Iheanacho Nwakanma with the assistants of the women leader and their group co-ordinator.The group is been known by their group colour which is an orange colour, groups are been identified with their colours,on this note,be reminded that every member of this group have their group uniform and it must be worn by every member of the group in every occasion of the harvest or bazaar.During the harvest thanksgiving,every group will go to the altar dancing and celebrating to present their harvest items respectively.

Otu Iruoma

Otu Iruoma is been chaired by Cliff Onyeje,they also have a women leader and a co-ordinator respectively too, their group colour is brown,so they have a mandatory brown background group uniform for all their members,Otu Iruoma performances in the previous harvest competition has been poor,so they are seriously working hard to see that they will not come last this year.on this note they are well prepared to lift the trophy this year,God helping them cos I know my group will never leave any stone unturned in this year harvest,we have every reasons to lift the🏆 trophy again,so their working hard for this year's first position can only be by the special grace of God for them.

Otu Ebube

Otu Ebube! "Oluebube chukwu" it is our group slogan,I belong to this very group,and it has been a wonderfulgroup,it is the third year of tthis particular harvest groups,and since the creation of this particular harvest groups,(2019-2021)my group has been coming first in position among the five groups every year, this year,the Otuebube will be bringing the over-all chairman for the harvest finale,who is going to chair the bazaar as well,bringing the bazaar chairman boosts a group income,and I will not forget to tell u that the cariteria for the results from the on set is base on the amount each group generated after the whole event,so due to the bazaar chairman's financial participation during bazaar,it is always a big plus to the group that is assigned to bring the bazaar chairman,my group has been coming first even when we were not assigned to bring bazaar chairman not to talk of this year that we have been assigned to bring the bazaar chairman, what do you think will still happened, hahahaha,🤣it is innegotiable my people. Otu Ebube group is ablely chaired by pharmacy Chinaka Okani and the co-ordinator and the women leader as well. Our group colour is blue,and our group uniform is a blue background uniform also,we also have different groups banners which all groups are been identified by their banners, I will not fall to display all the group's uniform and banners here for easy identification of the harvest groups appearance.

Otu Obioma

This is the only group that gives my group headache always,they will always want to compete with my group,they have been trying their best to take away the first position from us,but it has not been easy for them,cos we have great rich men in our group that can easily algurment our bills to make sure no other group takes up the first position.So Otu Obioma has been the second after us, they are really fighting tooth and nail to make sure that they secure the first position. So they have been a very hard working group, their colour is purple with purple background uniform,they are been chaired by sir Emma Nwaokoro, including their co-ordinator and their women leader.
