"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living
hope THROUGH THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD." (1
Peter 1:3)
This is the week that we remember and celebrate the most
significant moment in human history. 2,000 years ago, outside Jerusalem, Jesus
Christ, fully man and fully God, gave up His life on a cruel Roman cross. On
that cross He bore the wrath of God against all sin and all wickedness and all
evil and all rebellion. He bore the wrath of God for my sin, for my wickedness
for my evil and for my rebellion. He died in my place. He died in your place.
Being fully man, he died for the sins of every man.
But being fully God, death could not hold him. He rose to life! As He was raised to
life, we too have the hope of newness of life! In Jesus Christ there is power,
victory, glory, and salvation!
We’ve put a lot of planning and praying into our Good Friday
and Easter Services this weekend and we’re expecting God to move powerfully.
Please join us on Friday and Sunday at 10:30 am and please invite as many
unsaved people as you can to join us so that they might here and respond to the
good news!
Here are a few of
things you’ll need to know in order to get the most out of your Easter weekend…
1. Prayer Meeting
Wednesday April 20th 7:00 pm
Come and cry out to God with us as we pray that He would be glorified
in our Good Friday and Easter services.
2. A Note About
Harvest Kids on Good Friday
- Grade-school children at Harvest will be joining their
parents and guardians during the Good Friday service. This is a great
opportunity for our children to learn about the cross and to see the adults in
their church remember and reflect upon who Jesus is and what He has done.
- As we share in the Lord’s Supper on Friday, we also ask
parents to show caution and wisdom with regards to whether or not it is best
for their children to observe or participate depending on age and spiritual
maturity.
- We’re looking
for a few more faithful people to serve in Harvest Kids on Friday for Nursery,
Toddlers, and JK/SK. If you’re
available, please CLICK HERE.
3. A Note About Parking
on Easter Sunday
To make room for our visitors and the friends and family
we’ve invited, we’re asking those who call Harvest their home to please use the
parking lot at Queen St. Public School
directly south of William Gage.
Here are two other
things everyone in our church should know…
1. Children’s Heart
Project Email Updates
God is doing amazing things in and through the Paatz family
as they have welcomed two Mongolian toddlers in need of heart surgery into
their homes along with their mothers through a program administered through
Samaritan’s Purse. If you’d like updates on how God is working or would like to
give prayer support to Fred and Sarah, CLICK HERE to get your name on the email
distribution list.
2. Japan Offering
God’s people at Harvest opened their hearts to God’s leading
after the tragedies in Japan. By God’s grace we were able to raise $5,323.00
for Churches Helping Churches. We’re looking forward to see how God is going to
work.
