English term or phrase: day-born (harvest/groups)
Noch eine dritte, und hoffentlich letzte, Frage, die ich heute stellen muss.
Noch immer der gleiche Text (Protokoll der Jahreshauptversammlung einer Kirchengemeinde). Der Sinn des gesamten Abschnittes will sich mir nicht erschließen.

"Harvest 2007:
The year's annual harvest was on 4 November. The most successful aspect was the Day-born harvest which preceded the main harvest. The Day-born groups are seen as one of the most reliable groups in the church."

Nochmals danke für die vielen hilfreichen Beiträge

Reference: xxxday borns

Reference information:
The Tuesday Borns, led by Mr. John Baah, Mr. Fred Apaloo and supported by Mrs. Rose Priddy and a few others did the first major fund raising activity in aid of plastic chairs and canopies for the increasing number of members. ...
With the instrumentality of Rev. Fr. Andy Soley, Divine Mercy Catholic Church thrives mainly on the societies but also uniquely on day born groups.

A typical Sunday worship in the church today revolves round a prayer, announcements and songs the climax - money matters. First, there will be silver collection for the day, a special collection will also be organised to mark an occasion, then probably there will be another collection for a building fund: to top this, there will be a special birthday collection, that is to say all those who were born on Monday will give out something, the Tuesday borns follow in like manner. Aside from this, there is tithe to be paid and membership dues of various church groups like youth, men, and women's fellowship.

Aber ob da mehr dahintersteckt, kann ich nicht sagen.

Harvest ist imo Erntedank.

Vielleicht hilft's trotzdem schon mal weiter :-).

Hier noch mehr zur Aufteilung je nach Tag der Geburt. Hier ist auch von der 3rd Annual Thanksgiving Harvest die Rede.
