December 14, 2018

This week we learned that the angel told that baby should be named JESUS, which means "GOD SAVES".

The prophets foretold that Jesus name would be EMMANUEL, which means, "GOD IS WITH US"

Make time this weekend to worship and prepare your heart for the Baby who came to earth to be WITH US and to SAVE US!

ADVENT SERVICE: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 10:00 and 7:00

For the morning service your child should just wear the school uniform, no 'fancy' clothes please.

For the evening service please have your child in the church basement at between 6:50. Please keep your child's coat. Please do not drop your child off in the church basement before 6:50. Please DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED IN THE CHURCH OR CHURCH BASEMENT!!

For the evening service your child may wear a Christmas outfit, other Church clothes, or school uniform. Please no jeans or 3D huge headbands. After the service your child will be waiting for you in the Welcome Center. Feel free to take pictures after the service in the church.

1st Grade - Family Devotions

Join us on January 5th OR 6th as we learn a fun way to do family devotions at home!

Please register by the date above by contacting Bethany Andrews, Children's Ministry Director at bandrews@zionharvester.org

I hope you enjoyed the nativity your child made. I also hope that is will be a good way to tell the Christmas GOOD NEWS while playing with and display the nativity.

A BIG thank you of army Dad, Paul Trinklein, for cutting all 162 pieces, to my husband for spraying them black, and I am please to say that I have all the skin on my fingers after sanding them!

I really enjoy preparing for Christmas with the kids, this second week of Advent. I look forward to next week and the JOY it will bring!

Thank you for your prayers for Hannah and her surgery. She is home and recovering. The surgeon had to tighten her shoulder joint (not sure what that means) he says it was successful. Now six weeks in a big brace and therapy!

IN HIM,
Amy Bernhardt

We continue to light our Advent Wreath and do special devotions.
