Dear Harvest Life Church Family:
Welcome to the transition month of April! This is the time of year that we shift from the chill of winter into the warmth and sunshine of the Spring season. It’s also a season of growth and new opportunities in the Kingdom of God! Get ready for great things!
March was packed with awesome events and services, including the Esther’s Court Women’s Prayer Breakfast, Churches United Passion and Purpose Conference, Life Group Reach Rally, the release of “He Loved Me Through It All”, written and produced by Pastor Deborah, and an amazing Easter and Holy Week. As a church family, we experienced tremendous progress; in numbers, as people connected with Harvest Life and spiritually as we sacrificed together to bring God’s great Vision to pass. Our theme for April is “Growing Strong”, so look for more opportunities to stretch and grow as we walk through this dynamic month!
Also, we want to say “THANKS” to the many of you who stepped up and sacrificed during the month of March in cheerfully giving during our Annual Giving Day! Our hearts were filled with joy to see our members and even guests come together to sow our finances towards completing our new building! Our “United to Build” campaign shall come to pass as we prepare to occupy our New Worship Center! Learn more about our campaign and how to support it via building blocks by clicking the link below.
“He Loved Me Through It All” – Available On All Major Streaming Platforms!
We are excited about the release of the new music project – “He Loved Me Through It All”, written and produced by Pastor Deborah! This powerful song is now available on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube Music, Amazon Music and more! We want everyone to download a copy, add it to your playlist and spread the word to all of your friends and social media contacts!
First Sunday Baptism and Communion
This Sunday, April 7th at the 11:30 am service, we will have Communion for the entire congregation! Join us for this sacred service as we commemorate the victory our Lord Jesus Christ gave us on the cross over 2,000 years ago!
Following the 11:30 am service we will have our Baptism Service to celebrate those who have made a decision to take the next step in Christ and be baptized. Baptism is necessary for Christian obedience and is vital to growth in your Christian walk. Click the button below to learn more about baptism and to sign up (open to age 5 and above).
