Pastor's Note
The last few weeks have certainly been filled with mission opportunities for youth and adults. I'm so encouraged by our growing ministry beyond our "four walls". Hearing student stories from their mission project and seeing our youth band reach out at "Thanks a Latte" combined with the Legacy worship series underscored how well Harvester is passing along this heart for serving others. Our networking with other churches using the Spiritual Life Survey indicates that serving others is a top catalyst for spiritual growth. I thank God daily for all of you!
Looking ahead, mark your calendars for our All Church Family Back to School Bash! August 30, Noon - 3:00pm. Food from Hungry Harry's! Games! Children's Activities! Tickets on sale starting August 16th.

Worship
Grace Cafe
Harvester will be holding a Grace Café on Saturday, September 19th. We are on the lookout for your gifts to feed the body of Christ. We can use your abilities in singing, playing, dancing, drama, telling a story or giving your testimony. If you like being a "behind the scenes" kind of a person, we can use your talents, too. There are needs for running the sound, setup and of course, making treats. Parents, don't forget to think of your talented young ones and how much they may be able to bless the rest of us.
Please don't stay on the edge looking in; we are all called to help one another grow. Grace Café is a gentle and friendly way to get involved with helping your brothers and sisters grow in Christ. We will help you every step of the way with coaching, musical accompaniment, suggestions, connections and any other support. If you have a gift to share, please contact David Haqq (dhaqq@ciber.com) or Shannon Miller (SCMusik@aol.com) by August 15th.

We are looking for a few more volunteers for the last three Sundays in August as well as for Wednesday nights and Sunday school this fall. The fall sign-up sheets are on the Children's Ministry board in the hall.
Our more urgent need is for help finishing up the month of August in Sunday school. If you can help out, please let Jennifer know. Thank you!
