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.”

Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms.

Kids' registration is now open.  Volunteers can also sign up with the link.

Starting Sunday, April 12 the north half of the balcony (toward the Max line) will be a Fragrance-Free zone.  
Some people are sensitive to fragrance materials in cleaning, personal care, and other products and may experience allergy-like responses when they come in contact with these ingredients.
Harvest wants to create space for people to sit in service and not to come in contact with these ingredients.

The podcast is a congregational conversation space - a place to engage with the life of our church and it's mission to make disciples.
Listen in, talk about it with others, send us feedback. Join the conversation!
