Current Sermon Series:  1 Corinthians:
Together for the Gospel

It’s apparent from the news and social media that we live in a divided and contentious time in our country. As we lead up to another probable heated election year, how should the church at Harvest respond and then relate to each other when we disagree on issues we feel strongly about? Do we divide, or do we unite under a greater banner? That is why we will return to our walkthrough of the book of 1 Corinthians. No matter how divided people are in our world, as a church we must be “Together for the Gospel.”

The Refuge Water Ski Camp

August 4 - 9, 2024
Camp Morrow
Cost:  $325  
(Contact Pastor Chris if you need financial assistance)
Water Ski Camp is our annual summer camp where students from Harvest come together to experience God through His Word, music, games, each other, and extremely fun water sports. It is an opportunity for us to take advantage of summer uniquely. Great things happen at camps like this when leaders and students can escape everyday life. This camp is for students entering the 2024-2025 school year as 7th-12th graders, plus 2024 graduates.

Register by July 14 and pay the $50 deposit to guarantee a proper-fitting shirt. You can still go if you sign up after that; you are just not guaranteed a T-shirt. The final sign-up deadline is July 28, so we can properly plan for food.

Greeters Needed

The welcome they get as they come in the door on a Sunday is the first taste newcomers and veterans alike get of the Harvest community. If you can smile, shake a hand and just be welcoming once or twice a month, we’d like to have you think about becoming a Harvest Greeter. No experience necessary; click the link to volunteer or find out more.

INSTRUMENTAL TEAM

Are you gifted as an instrumentalist, and would like to serve on our worship music team at Harvest? If you’ve had experience playing drums, bass guitar, acoustic or electric guitar, percussion, or keyboards on a worship team or an orchestral instrument in an ensemble (strings, woodwinds, or brass) - we’d love to hear from you! Commitment is one Sunday morning per month, with a Thursday night rehearsal. Please contact Bruce Wickersheim at the link below for more info.
