This September begins my 7th year serving as pastor of Harvest Community Church. Thank you to all of those who have come along with me on this journey and have helped build this solid and responsive family of God called our church.

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed a feeling of refreshment coming over our people, especially in the music ministry. It feels like God is renewing our strength and giving us a refresh. If you are feeling worn and tired, let me invite you to come to our Sunday service and experience this refreshing.

Though youths grow weary and tired,

         And vigorous young men stumble badly,

Yet those who wait for the LORD

         Will gain new strength;

         They will mount up with wings like eagles,

         They will run and not get tired,

         They will walk and not become weary.

Isaiah 40:30-31

“Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different than it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing into a heavenly creature or a hellish creature: either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures, and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is heaven: that is, it is joy and peace and knowledge and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state of the other.”

CS Lewis
