Christ
has done and continues to do an exciting work in and through Harvest Barrie.
This past Friday evening 160+ faithful servants gathered at Fendley Hall for an
evening of celebrating our phenomenal team of volunteers who serve Christ so
faithfully each week at Harvest Barrie.
Over
275 adult volunteers are regularly serving Christ in some ministry area –
holding babies, teaching three and four year olds, leading in worship, setting
up chairs and running wires at 6 a.m., mentoring youth, leading a small group,
discipling children at Awana, counting the offering, setting up for baptisms,
rolling cabinets back into the cabinet room at the end of a Sunday, being a
welcoming smile as someone enters the worship centre for the first time,
parking cars, prepping for communion…the list goes on and on…each person
playing an integral role in the work that God is doing at Harvest. I think that
is something DEFINITELY worth celebrating!
And
celebrate we did! Jameson Evenden from Harvest Brampton brought a band and led
us in a sweet time of worship followed by Paul Whittingstall who brought the
Word and reminded us that what we do now counts…for eternity. We fellowshipped,
ate amazing desserts and rejoiced in the work that Christ has called us to be a
part of.
We
want to share with you a glimpse into the different ways that people serve each
week so that you can celebrate with us so check out this video.
If you don’t
already have a place that you’re serving but want to be a part of this thing
we would love for you to join the team. Give me a call,
, or stop by
Connections on a Sunday morning to pick up a ‘Work for Christ’ booklet that
will outline all the different serving positions available to you!
Harvest
loves our volunteers and plans on celebrating again next year. We're looking at dates in May and June 2012 so keep your calendars handy.
