Last Sunday we announced The Table. At Harvest, church isn’t just a place, an event or an hour of the week. “Church” is us—people following Jesus in community. Church really starts when the Sunday service ends. The Table is the Harvest online community where we can connect—24/7—by serving, sharing and praying together.
What is The Table?
The Table is a customized website for our church community that features ways to serve and connect with others, a prayer wall and other resources all in one location. It’s like an online directory just for our church, only one that allows you to meet other folks with common interests. There are also customized areas on the site for our ministries, life groups and a calendar to keep you up-to-date on all the events going on at Harvest.
If you haven’t signed up yet, don’t wait. Join Now!

- What a weekend around Harvest. We all kinds of fun things happing, including our first Youth All-nighter on Friday night. Here is a little evidence of how well the night went.
A huge thanks does go out to all of the faithful youth leaders that gave up sleep to impact our teens. THANK YOU!!!
- Yesterday I had the opportunity to preach on the beginning of Ecclesiastes 3. This is one of my favorite passages in Ecclesiastes and has been a place of comfort over the years. I hope that you also found it challenging and yet comforting. Remember, every season is an opportunity to praise God. So, make the most of every opportunity He gives you.
- This Sunday we are going to change things up a little. Actually, we will be taking a break from Ecclesiastes and will spend our time talking about some of the things God did this past year and where we feel God is leading us this New Year. Please make sure you come this week to celebrate God and His many blessings.
- One thought that has been running through my head this weekend is Luke 19:10. It says..“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” If you ever wondered what Jesus’ mission statement was…there you go!!! This passage has created a few important questions for me that I would like to share with you:
1. Who are the lost?
2. Why do we need salvation?
3. How are we saved?
4. Why is it necessary to seek the lost?
5. How am I doing in these areas? Is my life pattern following the pattern of Jesus?
Take some time to wrestle those questions this week as we prepare for this Sunday.
- This will be my last Monday Morning Musing for a few weeks. Next Monday morning I will be at the hospital undergoing major knee surgery. If for some reason you missed the memo…you can follow my progress at www.themilliondollarknee.blogpsot.com.

2012 is now upon us! However, before we get to far into the New Year, let’s consider some of the great things that took place over the last month and especially during the Holiday season.
- Harvest finished the year financially with a small surplus!!! Yeah GOD! I am so thankful that Harvest is full of generous people.
- This past week we bought a motorcycle for one of our pastors in India (Michael). This gift will bless this man, his family, and his church in ways beyond our imagination. The extra money raised will also go to supporting the work in India. Harvest you are making a difference around the world.
- Christmas Eve was a great night full of great memories. Although the last minute offered up some technical difficulties…the night was a huge success. I had the opportunity to talk to lots of new people! The cookies were awesome and a very special thanks goes out to the people who served sacrificially in our nursery that night! What a great gift they gave our young families.
- If you happened to miss our Christmas Eve service you can catch it under our Sunday Teachings section on the website.
- I am looking forward to what 2012 will bring at Harvest. 2011 was a year of great memories for many…yet, I think the best is yet to come!!!
- We have some more exciting news of things to come in just two weeks. Don’t miss this month as we will be rolling out some fun stuff every week this month.
- Personally, I am touched by everyone’s encouragement and prayers as I get ready to head into another surgery on the 16th. If you are interested in knowing more about what is being done or would like to get regular updates on my progress you can follow along a new blog created just for the surgery.
