We are so excited to finally have a date to gather as women in the church.  Please join us for a brunch on Saturday, February 15th, 2025 10:30 – 12:30.  We will gather, eat, play some games, hear a short devotion, spend time in fellowship and end our time singing a hymn or two.  It is not necessary to RSVP, but if you want to let Women’s Ministry know, feel free to email:  womensministry@harvestpca.com.  Please do not worry about bringing anything – just attend and share your time.  If you do not have a resource for childcare, please reach out to Stephanie Seifert by email @ stephs@zoominternet by 2/01/2025.  Looking forward to our time together – Women’s Ministry Committee

Women’s Tuesday Morning Study begins again on January 7 from 9:30-11:00 AM, studying the book “Blessed: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Revelation” by Nancy Guthrie. The cost is $10 for the book and study guide. We will pre-order the books to pass out with the study guides at the first meeting. Please sign up here or at the Women’s Ministry bulletin board at HPC by December 30th to reserve your book!

Blessed: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Revelation Over 12 chapters, Blessed covers the full text of the book of Revelation, exploring its call to patient endurance as God’s sovereign plans for judgment and salvation are worked out in the world. This book shows that Revelation is less about when Jesus will return and more about who we are to be, what we are to do, and what we can expect to endure as we wait for Jesus to return to establish his kingdom in the new creation.

With a friendly and engaging tone, Blessed takes the fear, intimidation, and confusion away from studying Revelation, providing a solid and accessible resource that we can use to study this important yet often avoided book.

Women’s Evening Bible Study will resume Tuesday, January 14th.  We will meet at Harvest from  6:30 – 8:00 PM, using the video/book study, “Ephesians: A Study of Faith and Practice.”

“In this 7-session study, Bible teachers, authors, and friends Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger walk through the book of Ephesians, examining the invaluable truths Paul’s letter holds for us today. Along the way, they’ll help us understand the riches of our inheritance as daughters of our heavenly Father, as well as what it means to walk in a manner worthy of our calling.”

Please email womensministry@harvestpca.com if you are interested in having a $15 book ordered for you.  (Books can also be ordered after today if needed.)

All women are invited! Please share this invitation with friends. We are looking forward to studying God’s Word together.

3Bs – Band of Brothers with Bibles – is bringing men together to study God’s Word and help each other grow in our faith.

Email mensministry@harvestpca.com for more information.

Harvest Kidz Klub is a mid-week ministry to children in grades K-6 at Harvest that includes games, crafts, bible lessons, bible memorization, and worship through Children’s Choir. Kidz Klub begins each Wednesday night with Children’s Choir where each week children will enjoy singing scripture songs, hymns, and children’s anthems that will be  shared periodically in our morning worship services.  Please contact Brett (brett.wirebaugh@harvestpca.com) or Cherylene (cherylene@harvestpca.church) for more information.

The Gospel: It’s more than a story—it’s good news!

The Gospel Project for Kids is a Christ-centered Bible study resource that looks at the big picture of God’s story — the story of redemption through Jesus Christ. Each week, Kids of all ages will follow a chronological timeline of Bible events, all the while learning how each story points to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This Fall, Unit 1 “In the Beginning” helps Kids discover how God’s plan began. God created everything. He created people in His own image. Even though Adam and Eve sinned, God revealed His plan to bring people back to Himself through the family of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
