1 WELCOME TO LORD OF THE HARVEST CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. I Peter 5:6 AFRICA REPORT AND FUNDRAISER FOR KENYA GIRLS Jan Abbott and Mary-Jo Asher will be giving a report today on their recent mission trip to Kenya. They will also be selling items from Africa to raise funds for the Mission Rescue Fund. Please see Jan or Mary-Jo for more information. FELLOWSHIP MEAL Our monthly fellowship meal will be held Sunday, October 7, immediately following our Sunday service. Every one is invited to join us for fun, food, and fellowship. We are looking for some one to help organize the November 4. If you are willing and able please see Pastor Andrea Elliott or call the church office (586) MULTIETHNIC CONVERSATIONS JOINT BIBLE STUDY We are having a new set of meetings jointly with Living the Word Ministries. It will be a 4 to 8 week course using the book called MultiEthnic Conversations: An Eight-Week Journey toward Unity in Your Church by Mark DeYmaz and Oneya Fennell Okuwobi. The price of the book is $10. Scholarships are available. The class will be held on Tuesday 10/2 from 7:00-8:30 pm at Lord of the Harvest. For more information see Pastor John Helvey. Childcare will be provided. There is a sign-up sheet on the information desk. HARVEST CAFE Open Sundays at various times - coffee and snacks available for purchase. PLEASE NOTE: There is no food or drink except water to be brought into the sanctuary. Proceeds go to the Kenya Mission Rescue fund. KENYA MISSION RESCUE Our church supports a group of young girls from the Maasai tribe in Kenya. The laws in Kenya make female circumcision illegal, but the Maasai tribe continues to practice this and to marry girls off as young as 8 years old. We are involved in rescuing girls from 2 local villages and putting them in school with boarding. Cost is approximately $35 per month with approximately $15 per month for books, school supplies, hygiene products, and uniforms that need to be replaced every other year. In November when the schools let out, we help pay for a safe house for the girls to stay in until school resumes in January. If you are able to help support the girls monthly or would like to make an occasional donation make checks out to LHCF with Mission Rescue in the memo line. Any questions see Jan or Matt Abbott. WHY JESUS? WOMEN S MEETING The Why Jesus? Class will have a new time of noon to 2:00 pm. We will be diving into the Scriptures with practical, everyday applications. The theme will be on Body, Soul, and Spirit. Pastor Janine, Carol Trudgeon (counselor), and Amber Brace (disciple) will be co-teaching the class. At 12:00 noon a light lunch will be served, 12:15-12:30 worship, and 12:30-2:00 pm Bible Study. LHCF SECURITY TEAM Lord of the Harvest has a Security Team that helps keep our members and our building safe during Sunday service and at various meetings. We currently are in need of volunteers to commit to one Sunday every four to six weeks. Responsibilities would include being at the church before 10:00 am, greeting people as they arrive, overseeing activity in the foyer and Sunday School rooms during the service, and staying until all children are picked up and with their parents.
