Weekly ANNOUNCEMENTS

UPDATED 9/19/23

-Sunday Worship. This Sunday, we will continue our sermon series on the book of Judges as we see what happens when “everyone does as they see fit.” As you prepare for Sunday, invite friends, come early, and pray for and expect a powerful time of worship! Let’s come and give our very best to the Lord!

-333 Prayer. Our second semester of 333 Prayer is underway! Join the many Harvesters who are committed to growing in prayer this semester. Signup sheets are available at our welcome table on Sundays. You can not only commit to praying 3 times a day for 3 minutes, for 3 specific areas, but you can also submit your urgent prayer requests for P.DL to join in prayer with you.


Through 333 Prayer, we are hoping to build new habits of dependence upon the Lord throughout the day by praying three times a day, for three minutes each time, for three areas (our church, your house church/family, and personal/family). In addition to these times, we want to be praying at set times daily.

- Harvest 101. Signups for our 3-week “Meet Harvest” class are now open. Harvest 101 is our membership class where we talk about our vision, values, beliefs, history, and what membership means. It’s a chance to learn more about house churches and to see what Harvest is all about. While there is no commitment to join, it is required for anyone wanting to become a member and serve in certain areas.

-Three Strand Prayer. Our annual 3-strand prayer is coming up from October 9-19. This is a time for you to gather with two other people for ten days at 6am on Zoom to share urgent prayer needs. Signups are now open. We will read through "Essentials of Prayer" by EM Bounds.

-Becoming a Child of God. Our Gospel presentation class is offered once a month and is a chance for anyone wanting to hear and respond to the Gospel to do so. It is regularly offered the first Sunday of every month. Sign ups are at our info table on Sundays.

The group will fly up on Thursday and return Sunday night.

A church’s purpose is to make disciples by connecting with unbelievers, bringing the gospel to them, welcoming them into the church, and then teaching them to obey the teaching of Christ. Disciples will then repeat that cycle with others. The New Testament Church did this as they met in homes where believers were discipled and non-believers experienced the power of the gospel lived out. We are not a church WITH house churches; we are a church OF house churches. House churches are the heartbeat of our congregation. They look inward, upward, and outward and go hand-in-hand with Sunday worship and our spiritual formation classes (Harvest 101, 201, etc.) as the 3-axes of our ministry. To get plugged in, talk to Rick Terrell (rickalo801@gmail.com)
