Outreach
Living in Faith (LIV) A group is traveling to Haiti from 7/15 through 7/25 to bring the love of Jesus Christ to people in need. One of the ways that we can be a blessing is to help donate some very basic items for them to take with them on this trip. Beginning Saturday, June 27th through Sunday July 11th we will be collecting material donations. A bin will be placed in the Welcome Center for your donations. A list of preferred items is included below. If you would like to learn more about this ministry, please contact Anna Mae Griffey at agriffey57@yahoo.com Sheets & Pillow Cases (all sizes) Blankets Towels & Washcloths Socks (all sizes) Underwear (all sizes) Operation Christmas Child (OCC) Each year between October and November, we begin packing shoe boxes filled with precious gifts and lots of love as part of the OCC ministry. Since it's inception in 1993, OCC has collected more than 68 million shoe box gifts and hand-delivered them to needy children in 145 countries. This year in addition to preparing the shoeboxes, we have another exciting way to serve the Lord by volunteering in the Processing Center in Atlanta Georgia on December 4th & 5th. Volunteers inspect and pack the shoe boxes and ready them for travel. It is a great time of fellowship and sharing. Registration begins on August 1st. If you are interested please email Jeannette Phillips at jpphil@tampabay.rr.com as soon as possible as spots will fill up quickly. From there we will set up an orientation meeting to discuss the details of the trip. Thursday, December 3rd - Travel to Atlanta Friday, December 4th - Work in Processing Center Saturday, December 5th - Work in Processing Center Sunday, December 6th - Travel to Tampa |

Hello Harvester Family!
What an incredible week we had at "Crocodile Dock", this year's Vacation Bible School. 110 Children sang, played and learned of God's love and salvation in Jesus Christ. They did an INCREDIBLE job sharing music with us at the closing program as well as in our 10:30 service this past Sunday. Hats off to Jennifer Smith and her entire super amazing team of volunteers!
This upcoming weekend Kitty Carpenter from Cornerstone Family Ministries and Jacquie Petit from Christian Social Services will be speaking in our services. Then they as well as 5 other Mission Ministries will be represented at the Missions Fair following each service. Our final message of this series on Mission Earth is "My Place in Mission". Scripture is
I Corinthians 3:5 - 9 .
IN HIM,
Pastor Sam |
