Sing with Us: Reformation Song
“By grace alone through faith alone, in Christ alone.”
On this Reformation Sunday, we are introducing a new hymn found in our new hymnal. Please listen to Reformation Song and prepare to sing it with us on Sunday morning!
7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

November Fellowship Potluck Lunch
Since the 1st century, Christians have enjoyed “Agape Feasts” as a time for fellowship among their church families. At Harvest, we gather for a Fellowship Potluck Lunch every other communion Sunday (1st Sunday of the month) in lieu of our Sunday School hour. Our next Potluck Lunch will be Sunday, November 1 at 11:00 AM following worship, and we hope you will plan to join us! If you are able, please bring a dish to share. Main dishes, sides and desserts are always welcome.
Women’s Ministry: Pizza and Pumpkin Rolls
All women are invited to attend a Women’s Fellowship Night at the church on Friday, October 30 starting at 6:00 PM. The evening will start with pizza for dinner, then the making of cream cheese filling, followed by finishing off the pumpkin rolls for the annual sale. The plan is to make extra this year to donate to Sparrow Church for their college brunches. No culinary skills are needed for this project!
