Sunday October 31st, 6-8 pm

Put on the costumes and bring the kids for a great night of fun and games including a giant Bouncy House and Climbing Wall! This is a fantastic community event and a perfect opportunity to invite another family to join you for safe, warm, Halloween fun! 


YOU CAN HELP.  Please bring a bag or two of candy this Sunday or it can be dropped off on Monday (Please use South Daycare entrance). Thank you!

Last week we began a fantastic new series called Gameplan. Get part one here. Don't miss this week as Andy Stanley delivers part 2!


Do you have a plan for your life? Someone who knows you well does. So how can you discover that plan? What should you do with your life from this point forward? 


We've all asked questions like these from time to time. If you or someone you know is asking these kinds of questions now, this 6-part series Game Plan has timely answers for you.




Reminder: Next week is the end of Daylight Savings Time. Don't forget to turn your clocks back 1 hour Saturday night, November 5th

Thrive

There are over 42,000 people living in our community who are not engaged in a church.

What if there was something that could radically change day-to-day life for hundreds of families and fuel our mission at Harvest Church?  

I believe there is.  We’re calling it Thrive.  

In the next twelve months we want people to thrive and the mission of Harvest to thrive like never before.  I want to invite you to play a vital role in making it happen.

Why Thrive?
Because thriving is so much better than just surviving. Too many of us live on the edge financially.  

As a result, money can feel more like an obstacle than an opportunity, adding stress to life and resulting in many missed opportunities.

What if that changed?  What if in the next twelve months you could begin to live with margin and began to live on mission?

 What if every person and every family started living with margin and:

Had money left over at the end of the month?

Could take a family vacation?

Began to give first, save second, and live on the rest?

Started to thrive?

What if every person and every family started living on mission and we:

Led an unprecedented number of new people in 2012 into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ?

Seized every opportunity to be a church that unchurched people love to attend?

What if our mission reached its full potential as everyone moved together from just surviving to thriving?  

Remember the 42,000 people living in our community who are not engaged in a church?

Together, we can change that number! It all begins this fall!

I’m asking you to pray and I’m asking you to give generously of your time, talents, and resources!

If you missed either of the first two parts of the Thrive series you can listen online.

Like I mentioned the first two weeks of the series, the Thrive Initiative is really all about what God wants for you, not about what God wants from you. However, you have to take a step.

The Thrive initiative is:

            The Financial Learning Experience 

The Thrive Series and Offering

            

The Thrive Outcome: Margin and Mission

The Thrive Offering is a two part offering where we bring our best to God to fund our mission: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Part One | October 16th, we’ll bring our best  one time over and above gift to help the mission of Harvest Church thrive. We are asking that every single person bring something, 100% participation.

Part Two | A Thrive Increase in our regular offering to help the mission of Harvest thrive moving forward.

This Sunday is a don't miss week at Harvest Church. If you consider Harvest Church your church, make it a priority to attend this week!

I’m really excited for this next season at Harvest, and I’m excited to be a part of it with you because there is nothing more exciting than leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ!
