Cody Holley stirred up the Holy Ghost fire with "Old School Gospel and everybody was blessed. Men who attended the first night were asked one question: "How was this Men's Night Out different than any other?" and Minister Paul Thornton commented as follows "I've been to many Men's Night Out but this time the word was aimed specifically at me...so I'm just looking forward to the morning. The final night of the Harvest Conference was just as powerful as all of the other nights. Friday night was Ladies Night and ladies from all over showed up and showed out to hear the word and testimony from Real Talk Kim. More Harvest Fest 2018 Thanksgiving Community outreach Vitamin C Newsletter Team Members The Newsletter Team wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New The congregation was serenaded by the beautiful and anointed voice of Lena Byrd- Miles. Real Talk Kim dropped many powerful nuggets intended for the congregation to think about such as: Why are you stuck? The signs of a toxic relationship; How not to lose your identity for another person; How to trust God even when we cannot trace him and How to treat others. However, one of the most powerful things that she said in regards to how we treat others is, you can t be anointed and messy. Let that sink into our spirit and pray that she returns next year to bless us yet again!

Each core team member chose a woman of COPIM that she honored as her super woman. These women were presented with certificates and small tokens of appreciation while each team member shared her story as to why this woman was honored. The team shared testimonies and Words of Wisdom that related to how all women should be considered super women in the eyes of God. Topics included Super beauty, Super breathe, Super Sight, Super speed and Super Strength. The event ended with its signature raffle plus an added bonus of each woman in attendance receiving a certificate for supporting the ministry.

Page 4 Harvest Fest-2018 Bishop Craig W. Johnson What an amazing time we had at the annual Harvest Festival.

Trunk-A-Treat is always a success, where there were more than 20 decorated cars with their trunks full of candy and treats lined the parking lot.

The children were so excited upon entering the church ground because the first thing that caught their little eyes was the lighted Ferris wheel that could be seen from the 210 freeway.

4 Page 4 Harvest Fest-2018 Bishop Craig W. Johnson What an amazing time we had at the annual Harvest Festival. It was a fun filled event that day began during the early afternoon hours with our volunteers preparing for a life changing event for both adults and children. Trunk-A-Treat is always a success, where there were more than 20 decorated cars with their trunks full of candy and treats lined the parking lot. Those hosting the treated trunks were in costume as well. In addition to plenty of candy being given out, everyone received a goody bag that contained a hot dog, chips/cookies and water. The children were so excited upon entering the church ground because the first thing that caught their little eyes was the lighted Ferris wheel that could be seen from the 210 freeway. In addition to the Ferris wheel, there was Bumble Bee ride, Game Truck and 6 Carnival game booths (with prizes). Some children received live Gold Fish as there prize. Lastly, each family received a free photograph taken at the Photo Booth, This year a dunk tank was added and it turned out to be a major shock because many were surprised to see our very own Bishop and Pastors Hooks and Ward as the targets. Let s just say each of them felt that same shock once they hit the water. Definitely one for the books. COPIM provided a fun-filled safe environment for our Del Rosa family. It was a night to remember for all in attendance.

Don t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord, was born for you in the city of David. 12 This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in cloth and lying in a feeding trough. 13 Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: 14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to people He favors! 15 When the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let s go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the Lord has made known to us. 16 They hurried off and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby who was lying in the feeding trough. 17 After seeing them, they reported the message they were told about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary was treasuring up all these things in her heart and meditating on them. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying God for all they had seen and heard, just as they had been told.
