IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME at Harvest, we’re glad to have you as our guest. We hope this information helps you get to know a little about who we are. Of course, the best way to find out is from the people. You’re also invited to stop by our Hospitality Hubs in the Gathering Area.

Worship at HarvestHarvest has three weekly worship services - one on Thursday evening and two on Sunday morning. The basic pattern for Sunday worship is typically the same at both services. The 9:00 am service includes more of the historic liturgy of the church and music from the United Methodist hymnal. The 10:30 am service includes a time especially for children and a variety of music that is led by members of our worship band. Thursday’s sixfortyeight service begins at 6:48 pm and typically includes acoustic music, time for reflection, and unique participatory elements. We celebrate communion weekly at all services.

SEED Groups at HarvestSEED stands for Supporting Each other Every Day. A SEED group is a small group of people who gather to build friendships and grow in faith. One of our newest offerings are LIFE groups, made up of 8-12 people who meet weekly throughout the year in someone’s home or here onsite. Harvest also offers a number of courses onsite throughout the year that meet anywhere from 6 to 32 weeks, depending on the curriculum. To find out more, you can check the “small groups” box on the Connect! pad in the attendance folders.

Children & Youth at HarvestHarvest wants to help your children grow their faith, too. We offer Sunday school weekly for all ages at 9:00 and 10:30. At 9:00, children go directly to their Sunday school classes. At 10:30, children are checked in at Hospitality Hub 2 in the West Wing Gathering Area. After the Time Especially for Children in worship, children are escorted to their classes by their teachers via the side door. Also, excellent child care is provided all morning for infants and toddlers and during Thursday evening worship.For youth, from 6th-12th grades, there is Sunday school weekly at 9:00 am as well as HY5, a program especially for them every Sunday evening beginning at 5:00 pm. The evening includes games, dinner, music, small group learning, and worship time that speaks to the heart and language of pre-teens and teenagers.

Giving at HarvestAn offering is an expression of thanks for God’s many good gifts to us. Our gifts support the mission and ministry of the church. We encourage persons who make Harvest their church home to give faithfully. Gifts can be placed in the offering boxes located on stands in the Harvest Centre.

Harvest Donates Christmas Eve Offering to Take Stock in Children and Stop Hunger NowOnce again, the people of Harvest have displayed their extravagant generosity, and we give God all the praise and thanks for it! For the third straight year, Harvest donated its Christmas Eve offering to non-profit organizations that are transforming the world. Harvest and our Christmas Eve guests contributed $34,455 to this year’s offering, which was designated for Take Stock in Children of Manatee County (50%) and Stop Hunger Now (50%).

Because the donation to Take Stock is matched, $34,455 has been raised to provide college scholarship and mentors to two deserving Manatee County students with low family income. To learn more about Take Stock, visit www.takestockmanatee.com. We encourage you to consider becoming a Take Stock mentor!

The $17,227 donation to Stop Hunger Now will provide 68,900 nutritious meals in the Philippines to assist in ongoing Typhoon Haiyan relief operations! To learn more, visit www.stophungernow.org. And remember that you will be able to help pack those meals at our February 23 meal-packing party at Harvest – you can sign up to serve at Hospitality Hub 1.

Harvest at Lakewood Ranch Music on MainHarvest will be hosting a booth at Lakewood Ranch Music on Main again in February. If you are interested in helping us be a presence at this fun opportunity to make a difference in our community, please sign up at Hospitality Hub 1 for the February 7 Music on Main. Volunteer servants will set up and break down, greet the adults, engage the youth and play with the children. This is the place to be on First Fridays. You won’t want to miss it. If you have any questions, please contact Ken Cerny kenneth.cerny@umb.edu or Melinda Cerny melindacerny@gmail.com.

Magazines for Winter Youth Retreat at Camp Wingmann HY5 Harvest Youth are collecting magazines to use for a craft project at our winter youth retreat.

Do You Feel Called to Serve in Angola?Harvest sent mission teams to Angola in 2010 and 2012 in support of the partnership between the Florida and East Angola Conferences of the United Methodist Church. We have the opportunity to send another team in 2014!

Our 2014 team will work in Quessua and will be hosted by Leonardo and Cleivy Garcia, the amazing missionary couple who hosted our 2012 team and was here at Harvest this two weekend ago Our team will work alongside the Garcias and the boarding school students to continue reconstruction of a building that will be used as the boys’ dormitory. This will in turn allow the existing smaller dormitory to be used for the girls who are currently housed in less secure conditions in the city of Malanje. The team will also minister to the students and the children of the surrounding villages.

Our trip will be two weeks in duration and will take place sometime between late May and late June. Due to the process for obtaining visas to enter Angola, our team needs to be defined by the end of January. If you feel called to participate in this trip or if you would like more information to help discern your calling, please contact Vaughan Harshman at harshmanv@gmail.com or 941-928-0453.

New Worship Series Beyond the Manger: Who Is This Man? Today we continue a series that will help you get to know Jesus better. Who is this man who forever changed the course of history? Why does his life and death matter so much? What should we make of the different titles given to him? What difference does he make for us today? Here’s what’s still to come:

January 23 & 26 – Jesus the HealerJanuary 30 & February 2 – Jesus the Savior

February 6 & 9 – Jesus the Lord

* A part of the title for this series is taken from a recent book by Rev. John Ortberg, pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in Menlo Park, CA. A short-term SEED group starting Jan. 29 will read this book together. See below for more details.

Men’s Retreat on January 25Deep Roots: Are We Reaching Our Full Potential?Men, are you ready to plant Deep Roots? Deep Roots is a one-day gathering of Harvest men getting to know one another as we discover and strengthen our relationship with God, family, and friends. As we search and explore ourselves in Deep Roots, the better father, son, husband and Christ follower lying deep inside each of us will not only be awakened, but free us up to be the men we want to be in God’s eyes.

Harvest’s own David Stone, a nationally recognized youth ministry author, trainer, and co-founder of Hallmark Channel, will lead us in a fun, unique and interactive style. We will be challenged as we open our minds and hearts as we grow and experience a deeper walk in our faith.

Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen faith and relationships along with other Harvest men on January 25 at Harvest from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. The cost is $25 - lunch, materials and a keepsake are included. Register online at www.welcometoharvest.org/deeproots.

This Morning’sScripture ReadingLuke 9:18-24

Following Christ

Once when Jesus was praying by

himself, the disciples joined him,

and he asked them, “Who do the

crowds say that I am?”

They answered, “John the Baptist,

others Elijah, and still others that

one of the ancient prophets has

come back to life.”

He asked them, “And what about

you? Who do you say that I am?”

Peter answered, “The Christ sent

from God.”

Jesus gave them strict orders not to

tell this to anyone. He said, “The

Human One must suffer many

things and be rejected—by the

elders, chief priests, and the legal

experts—and be killed and be

raised on the third day.”

Jesus said to everyone, “All who

want to come after me must say no

to themselves, take up their cross

daily, and follow me. All who want

to save their lives will lose them.

But all who lose their lives because

of me will save them.”

Common English Bible
