THIS WEEKEND's NEWS
1. Prayer Night Update
We are thankful for the refreshing time of prayer and praise last Thursday evening as God met with us powerfully. What an amazing God we serve! May He continue to glroify His Name and do far more abundantly than what we have asked of Him!
2. Youth Skate Update
Last night, amid perfect skating conditions, our youth had a
blast skating under the lights at Gage Park, dodging the zamboni and
generally trying to stay on their feet. After charoling up Main
Street, we enjoyed some freshly baked cookies and amazing hot
chocolate at The Village Deli & Pasta. Praise God for such a fun night! See you at Winter Fuse!
3. The BLOG in Between
Thus far, our
FORWARD BY FAITH series
has been a chapter by chapter and verse by study of the life Abraham as
recorded in the book of Genesis. On Sunday December 13th we finished at
chapter 19:38 and this coming Sunday we’ll be starting off at chapter
22:1. In light of this, this week, I will be posting
blog entries with brief reflections on the content between these two points. I hope you find them helpful and encouraging.
4. Christmas Kits Pickup
This Christmas season, we have a great opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ with our neighbours!
Christmas Kits are a great way to meet
your neighbours, invite them to Harvest's Christmas Services (Dec. 20
& 24), and give them an 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
inviting them to
join us on Dec. 20 and Dec. 24 (Christmas Eve) at our worship
services.
If you've already signed up to receive your Christmas Kits, great! They're ready to be picked up at the
Get Connected Desk on Sunday (or in your Small Group this week).
If you haven't signed up for any yet, but would like to, it's not too late! Simply indicate how
many Christmas Kits you would like by signing up
online here or swinging by the
Get Connected Desk on Sunday.
UPCOMING EVENTS
1. Christmas Eve Service - December 24
On the night before Christmas...we praised the Father for
sending His Son! Invite your family and friends to join us on December
24 at 7pm for our Christmas Eve Service held at the
Courtyard Marriott Hotel (410 & Steeles). Let us celebrate the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ together!
2. Party With The Pastor! - January 10
If you're new to Harvest, this is the first step to discover Harvest and get connected. PWTP is a great way to learn more about our vision, history and priorities while you meet some of the ministry staff and other key leaders from our church.
This is an informal event held on a Sunday afternoon in the home of one of our church members. There is also a Q&A time for any questions you may have about Harvest, as well as great fellowship and light refreshments throughout. Please note: Party with the Pastors is an adult-only event; childcare is not provided.
To
register online for this event, please click here (further directions and details will be provided after you register).
3. Sermons Online
Missed the sermon because of Harvest Kids or a hot cider burn? No
problem. You can still track with our current sermon series from week
to week. Simply click here to begin listening to this past Sunday's sermon and keep moving Forward By Faith.
Also, feel free to read ahead and study Genesis 16-18 as we
prepare for God to speak transformingly through His Word this Sunday.
In His love,
