Hello! How are you enjoying the beauty of this rainy Monday? This week we move into September, I am excited because fall is my favorite season! 

If you read the blog yesterday, there is a change in plans: for the next few weeks I am going to talk about looking for messages from God in all parts of life. I will be preaching and using songs. This week I am using the song “Arms” by Christina Perri.  Listen to the song (below) and think about God as your “home.” 

See you there!

Greetings! I hope that this finds you enjoying the last of summer.  We are moving into fall very soon and will be looking forward to all things fall.  I personally love the fall, the changing leaves, the pumpkin spice candles and jeans weather. 

This Sunday we have a special treat.  Western Pennsylvania State Pastor Rebecca New-Edson will be preaching for us on Jonah.  Read the story (the whole book is only 4 chapters!) and get ready to hear a word from the Lord. 

Although I am not preaching, I will be at church Sunday.  I hope to see you there!

I apologize for the lateness of this post! But you still have time to read the scripture before Sunday, I will be preaching from Matthew 14:22-33.  I am going to talk about learning to walk on water. 

Looking forward to seeing you!

This week we come with heavy hearts at the loss of our own dear Sam Moss and SueAnn's brother, David.  It has been a hard week for the church and I want you all to know that I am praying for you. 

This Sunday I will be preaching from Mark 4:35-41 - Jesus calms the storm.  What an appropriate topic for the week, God is always at work.  Read through the text and I will see you Sunday.

Greetings!  What a lovely day it was today.  I hope that you are well and enjoying the summer.  This week we are focused on our major outreach event of the year: the Luau! I'm so excited for what's coming this Saturday.  Are you ready?

On Sunday we will have a special time of celebration and testimony.  It will not be like a normal service and there will not be a normal sermon.  Come ready to talk about what the Lord has done and is doing! 

Please be in prayer this week for the Luau, the people giving their time to serve at the Luau, and the people that will come to receive our love.

Hello! I hope that you are enjoying this beautiful week.  The sun is great, the breeze is nice.  There is so much for which to be thankful. 

This Sunday in preparation for our Luau event, I will be preaching on Evangelism...but more specifically on listening for the Spirit's voice as we witness to those around us.  Are you in tune with the Holy Spirit? 

This week you also have a great opportunity to hear Jeanette Flynn up at Berlin Center camp meeting.  She is a straightforward preacher and will be preaching every night at 7pm.  I hope to see you there!

Remember that I am praying for you!

Good morning! I hope you are enjoying this sunny Monday morning.  I apologize for not posting last week.  The sermon for July 15th was from Romans 12:1-2.  I preached about Next Step Stewardship: Holistic Stewardship.  Stewardship isn't just about our time, talents or tithe...stewardship is about everything we have, everything we are.  I encouraged the congregation "do not withhold anything from God." You can check it on here on our website.

This week I will be concluding our Next Step Stewardship series.  This Sunday will be a celebration, it is All-Tithe-Sunday.  If all of Harvest Point Church brings their tithe into the storehouse, what can we do for God? I want to challenge you to bring your full tithe in this week, and we will see the potential Harvest Point Church has for kingdom work.

Remember: The Luau is coming soon - how can you help?
