THIS WEEKEND
1. Harvest Youth - November 28 & 29
At our last church-wide prayer meeting, we prayed for God's leading as to our next steps as a church. In answer to that prayer, God has since raised up both youth and people passionate to serve the youth in our church. So, on Saturday, November 28 from 2pm - 4pm, we are having a bowling event for all youth and parents at Brampton Bowling Lanes (see
here for more details).
Then, on Sunday, November 29, after the service there will be a brief Harvest Youth info-session for all youth and parents of youth. Pizza will be provided as we share the vision and direction of Harvest's Youth ministry and attempt to answer as many questions as possible. If you have any questions before then, please email Chris Shipley (cshipley@harvestbrampton.ca). See you there!
2. Forward By Faith
We're excited to have Pastor Ted back this weekend as we continue to track with Abraham as he moves forward by faith, trusting in His Almighty God. Feel free to read ahead and study Genesis 15 as we prepare for God to speak transformingly through His Word this Sunday.
UPCOMING EVENTS
1. Harvest Prayer Night - December 10
We'll be gathering as a church body for prayer on December 10 to thank our Father for all that He has done. We'll be meeting at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel (410 & Steeles) from 7pm - 8:30pm. He has blessed us "far more abundantly" than we could ask or imagine these past several months and we want to return our thanks. Join us for this amazing time of praise and prayer to our King!
2. Peak Performance - December 12
This session is designed to give you a solid understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ and to help you learn what it means to Worship, Walk with, and Work for Christ here at Harvest Brampton.
Peak Performance is a requirement for anyone interested in becoming a member at Harvest or joining one of its Small Groups.
Childcare is provided for Peak Performance; simply indicate the number of children you will be bringing and their respective ages when you register. To register online, please click here (further directions and details will be provided after you register).
3. Christmas Outreach Opportunities - December
This Christmas season, we have two great opportunities to share the good news of Jesus Christ with our neighbours!
Christmas Kits Distribution
First, we'll be making Christmas Kits that you can give to your neighbours throughout the month of December. It's a great way to meet your neighbours and invite them to Harvest's Christmas Eve service, as well as give them amazing opportunity to find out who Jesus is.
Included in the Christmas Kits are an ESV New Testament, a Jesus Film DVD based on the Gospel of Luke viewable in 16 South Asian languages (including English), a gospel track, and a customized invitation to join us on Christmas Eve at our worship service. Please indicate how many Christmas Kits you would like by signing up online here.
Project Angel Tree
Our second outreach initiative is in conjunction with Prison Fellowship Canada, where we will be reaching out to kids of prison inmates with Christmas gifts. This outreach involves connecting with the child’s caregiver beforehand and then visiting the child prior to Christmas with a toy and a Christmas Kit for the caregiver. What a great way to show God's love and truth! To get involved, please register here online.
In His love,
Ted Duncan
