Educational Leadership Training

Congratulations to Mark Bowden, Charlie Hamrick, Darryl Kite and David Pierce who today completed the Royal Rangers 8 hour training seminar led by instructor David Moore. This course prepares these men to further their committment to the boys of Harvest as they have continued to study to show themselves approved unto God as workmen worthy of discipling young men for the Kingdom of God. This training is completed only by those leaders who take the task of training boys very seriously. Their course of study included: classroom management, merit advancement, leading boys to Christ, discipling boys, and much more. Thanks to dedicated men and women such as these you can feel great about the quality of instruction and care your children will receive while attending classes and programs at Harvest.
Thanks guys.

Wednesday Night Jan 18, 2005

Wednesday night was a record January, Wednesday attendance with 155 on the church campus. Wednesdays are great at Harvest with dinner, choir and worship team practice, Royal Rangers, Missionettes, Edge Student Ministries and a great adult service as well. Last week, more than 24 adults were involved in ministry to youth and children. Don't miss the great programs and activities which will proove to be both fun, educational and spiritual for your children and teenagers.

This Sunday, I will preach a special message called "Lessons from Christmas Toys" illustrating God's grace and mercy using some fun props. Did I mention at the end of service, we will give those toys away to the kids who attend?

Also, Missionette girls who did not get their picture on the blog last week...go to the main church site and click on 1) programs and ministries 2) Missionettes ...we have some pictures of your class there.

Youth, there are a few new pics under EDGE link as well.

Happy New Year

Hope you are having a great new year so far. Harvest is off to a running start with new ministries like Royal Rangers and Missionettes for children and the LIFE program for teens. We will also have nominations for the churches first deacons on Jan the 8th and we will install the churches' first deacons and elders on Sunday, January 15th. Excitement fills the air with great anticipation for all that will happen in 2006. for many of us in Escambia and Santa Rosa County, the truth is while thousands were devasted by Katrina, we still tried to put our lives back together from the lasting effects of the destruction of Ivan, the slam of Dennis and the light touch of Katrina. This year we are excited for all of those including our church which have been able to finally rebuild the majority of their homes, businesses, church and other vital properties. We pray for those who still battle selfish insurance companies and rejoice with those whose insurance companies did them right. With this new year, we have another opportunity to move forward in life, as the Apostle Paul said, putting the past behind. We pray and believe that 2006 will be the best year you have ever had and that if you don't have a church which you attend every week, that you will come to find a place of worship, warmth and love at Harvest. No matter what you have faced last year or in the past, remember, God gives us a great gift of a fresh start every year...January!
