I am so excited and thankful for God s presence and move in church this past Sunday! He is moving every week, but Sunday was an especially great service.

BUILDING FOR THE HARVEST DAY is March 17, when all offerings go to our building fund and enable us to focus on other ministries instead of buildings.

Announcements...7 I TELL YOU, OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT THE FIELDS! THEY ARE RIPE FOR HARVEST. John 4:35b From Pastor Ralph... Wow! I am so excited and thankful for God s presence and move in church this past Sunday! He is moving every week, but Sunday was an especially great service. God is moving in so many ways please keep praying for more for Harvest, more for our region, and more in you. BUILDING FOR THE HARVEST DAY is March 17, when all offerings go to our building fund and enable us to focus on other ministries instead of buildings. Even so, our new building is such a blessing and provides space for so much ministry already. Ask the Lord what He wants you to give and I encourage you to give generously! EASTER is April 21. People are more likely to respond to an invitiation to come to church on Easter than any other time of the year! Be sure to invite people and have someone who doesn t come to Harvest with you in one of the three services. Ask God to speak to them and move in their heart. SPIRITUAL LIFE CONFERENCE with Dr. Chris Bounds is May 5-8. I encourage you to clear the time in your schedule for every service. We re asking God for a mighty encounter that will not only change us, but touch our entire region! I m hearing great things from our Freedom Groups, and the Daniel Council believes that amazing life change is happening and much more will take place in the Freedom Conference at the end of this study. I encourage those of you in it to keep giving priority to preparing your lessons and to the group meetings. You have to attend 10 of the 12 meetings to be eligible to attend the Freedom Conference. If you weren t able to get in a group this semester, plan on going through Freedom starting again in August. Don t forget the time change this weekend. Try to go to sleep earlier so you ll be ready to hear what God wants to say this Sunday. He is an amazing God doing wonderful things among us! Don t miss any of it!

Everything He has created is unique and oneof-a-kind, including people created in His image. Every person is an original reflection of God in how they love, care for others, imagine, create, and solve problems. Jesus lived this out in the way He loved all people, and helped people feel like they had value no matter who they were or what they had done. We can reflect this in the way we live out how God created us. DREAM TEAM MEMBERS NEEDED!
