Home - Get Connected - Newsletters - Harvest Brampton Newsletter - September 1st, 2010
Greetings loved ones!
It’s been great to see people returning from their vacations refreshed,
rejuvenated and ready to serve the Lord in His strength. I am reminded of the words of Isaiah:
Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
(Isaiah 40:30-31)
This has been an amazing summer. God has been blessing us, growing us, and challenging us as a church and as individuals as we’ve explored the word of God in order to find the God of the Word.
We’ve got a very busy fall ahead of us and we’re anticipating God to show us even greater things than He did this past year. The next few weeks are very important for our church.
Here’s a bit of an update of what’s happening at Harvest on the next few Sundays, as we get ready for the fall:
This Sunday September 5th will be a Communion Service, and we are excited to welcome Karl Whittingstall, Director of Youth Ministries at Harvest Oakville to come and bring the Word this weekend. He will be preaching from Ephesians 2:1-10, “God’s Grace is Amazing.”
Next Sunday September 12th, I will be back in the saddle, and we will continue our journey through Isaiah 40 as we learn from Isaiah 40:27-31 “Wait for the Lord.” That weekend will also serve to kick off our week of prayer (Sept 13th -17th), so remember to mark your calendars!
The following Sunday September 19th will be a special Ministry Year Launch Service! We're excited about what the Lord will bring this coming year!
This week, don't forget about:
Pakistan Flood Relief Offering - September 5th
This Sunday, September 5th, we will be taking up a special offering for the victims of the flooding in Pakistan. For more information about this special event, and to see where the offering will be used, please check out the Harvest Brampton Blog.
Remember to mark your calendars for all these upcoming events:

Harvest Kids Training Day - September 18th
In order
to be best equipped to love
and care for the families God is entrusting to us each Sunday, we will
be hosting a Harvest Kids Training time on Saturday morning, September
18th from 10:00am - 12:00pm at Sir William Gage Middle School.
Everyone who is currently involved in the 6-week Serving Rotation and
serves in Harvest Kids, or
hopes to do so in the future, is required to attend this essential time
of training.
The
session is specifically designed for Harvest Brampton and our school
context, so please make this a priority to attend. After the training, a free lunch (pizza) will be provided. You can sign up ONLINE.
See you there!
Launch Sunday - September 19th
We will be kicking off the new ministry year on Sunday, September 19th. As everyone's summer vacation winds down and school starts up, we will be collecting again as a church family to look ahead to another great year together, Lord willing!
Invite your friends and family who you may want to see connect with a body of believers that are all about Jesus!
Well that's it for this week, loved ones!
I’m looking forward to seeing you this Sunday!
