Current Sermon Series - Back to Genesis!

If you’ve ever tuned in to a movie when it was half over, or started watching a TV series toward the end of a season, you know how confusing it can be: you watch a scene that you can tell is important, but you don’t understand why it matters. It’s hard to see the significance of plot twists when you don’t know the plot, or character development when you’re not familiar with the characters. Reading the Bible can be a lot like that: the significance of each part of the Bible is hard to see apart from a clear view of its overall storyline. Thankfully, all the main elements of the Bible’s story are introduced in its earlies chapters, and getting to know these chapters will help us understand everything that follows them.  Join us as we go back to Genesis 12- 24 this Spring at Harvest.”

A Note from Harvest Home

Harvest Home has had an uptick in the number of clients sent to us by Love INC this year.  Currently, we are requesting donations of new or gently used twin, and full/queen comforters and quilts, and large, covered pots and large frying pans.  Your donations may be left at the Welcome Center on Sunday mornings, or at the church office on weekdays.  They will be greatly appreciated by the people in need that we serve.  

Also, we are looking for one or two more volunteers who might be available on the third Wednesday of the month (from about 10 am to 12:30 pm) to greet, listen to, and pray with clients, and gather their needed items.  We always try to work in teams of three.  Please call Karin Doyle 503-984-6340.  Thank you.

Thank you for your support

Dear Harvest Family,
Our family would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for all your prayers, love and support during the loss of my husband, Greg.  Your kindness, cards and comforting words have been a tremendous blessing during this difficult time.

Thank you also for all the help you provided with the memorial service.  Your willingness to serve and support our family made the day a beautiful tribute to his life and eased the burden of that day.

I know Greg loved Harvest and was proud to be part of such a caring and compassionate church family.

With sincere appreciation and gratitude,
Susan Trousdale and Family

Father-Son Weekend at Camp Tadmor

July 16-19, 2026
Camp Tadmor

Boys entering 1st - 8th Grade
Sons of Thunder is not just a fun-filled weekend jam-packed with exciting camp activities... But a time where fathers and mentors of boys can be intentional with each other, exploring what it means to be men of God together. With the help of your trusty handbook, learn together through intentional experiences, and some gospel-centered life lessons with your son. None of the information we give is any sort of new revelation on fatherhood but is teeing you up for a fatherhood home run.
We are very excited for this event and the bonds that will be formed and strengthened over the weekend. Click the link to Camp Tadmor's event page for more info.
