Don't Miss The Blessing!

Last Sunday, as tokens of our love and support we were able to give some gifts to Todd and Cheryl. This was at the initiative of the elders but taken far beyond what we planned by some individuals in our fellowship. The end result is an iPad 2 and a good used vehicle.

Some individuals covenanted together to raise enough money to bless Todd’s family with a newer vehicle. Someone has made the commitment that they will give up to a certain amount to cover any difference between what is given and our goal. As it stands we have enough committed that we will reach the goal with the help of this backer.

But . . . the opportunity has not passed for you to be a part of it!

We want to encourage you to put your hand to this. There is room for you to take part, to join in, to bless and encourage. You can say, “I joined in this gift of grace and affirmation.” Your part is important. We can all participate together in this blessing! Would you join in?

Simply get to one of our elders, John Shewfelt or Dave MacDonald with your gift. There is no tax receipt as this is outside of the church budget. It is completely a grace gift. The money received will go toward the cost of the vehicle. It would be truly great if we could surpass the goal without the help of the backer and maximize the blessing of this gift.

If you have questions, please contact our elders at info@harvestbarrie.ca, or speak to us directly. Thank you for your willing and generous expressions of love! What a blessing it is to serve with you all!

The elders,
Terry Codling – Chair
Roger Freeman

Follow this link to find the 2010 fourth quarter report. The full 2010 independently reviewed financial reports will be available by the end of April once they are completed by the accountant firm of SB Partners, Inc.

We are grateful that God is continuing to provide through the generous givings of his people. Our offerings are in a good place and expenses are under budget to date in 2011. The 2011 first quarter (Jan-Mar) report will also be ready by the end of April and will be posted on the website.

Our current treasurer is John MacDonald from Harvest Bible Chapel Oakville. John is a leader in the Harvest Bible Fellowship and a tax accountant with John MacDonald and Associates. John was asked by our elders to oversee our finances until such time as we appoint a new deacon of finance as treasurer of the church. John is doing a great job with what the elders have entrusted to him.

If you have question please contact me directly.
