SatSaturdayFebFebruary4th2012 Baptisms tomorrow
Hey Harvest!

We have 10 people getting baptized tomorrow morning!  I would love for you to be present.  We will do the baptisms at the end of the first service.  If you are planning to attend the second service, you can still see the baptisms.  Just be at the pool by 10:15.  I hope to see everyone there!

Serving Jesus,

Pastor Ryan
ThuThursdayJanJanuary26th2012 Have you?
Have you?  Everyone at Harvest is working to make this Sunday the best service we have ever had.  We want God to go to work in a very special way.  So, have you? 

First, have you invited your friends( family, coworker, neighbors, etc) to church yet?  I am making my list right now and will be on the phone with 3 or 4 people before the day is done.  Sunday is "Bring a friend day."  I will share the Gospel, and the Lord will do wondrous deeds in our midst.  Who will be sitting next to you?

Second, have you prayed for your church this week?  Here is a prayer guide for the week that I sent out earlier.  Don't worry if you fell behind.  Take time today to pray for your church---at your desk, at the dinner table, wherever.  Ask the Lord to do amazing things in our ministries this weekend!

Monday: Pray for the Worship Team & Tech Team/Stage Crew-Pastor Mark and Brad Whitla
Tuesday: Pray for Children's Ministry and Children's Check-in-Pastor Brandon and Diane Janckenko
Wednesday: Pray for the Preaching and Prayer Team-Pastor Ryan and Mike Janckenko
Thursday:  Pray for Parking and Security Team-Jeremy Ritzema and Bill Wayteck
Friday:  Pray for the Road Crew and Ushers/Greeters/Counters-Mike Melody, Ken Tiesenga and Glen Nielsen

Also, have you heard our church profiled on WYLL?  You can listen to the radio interview by clicking HERE

SunSundayJanJanuary22nd2012 Big News
Hey Harvest!

I just wanted to follow-up with you regarding some of the announcements I made this morning. 

1.  This Sunday 1/29 we move to 2 services!  Church will be at 9 and 11 AM.  It will take several weeks to get used to the new rotations, so be sure to communicate with your ministry leader(s) and your spouse to avoid scheduling conflicts.  If you have any concerns with your schedule, please get in touch with Diane Janchenko at 708 974-2222. 

2.  It is now possible for you to participate in a worship service and hear a sermon every week!  If you serve on a ministry team that pulls you out of church (like security or children's ministry), you should plan to work one service and attend the other. 

3.  Bring a friend to church this Sunday!  Invite at least 3 people to church with you this upcoming weekend.  I will share the Gospel and challenge people to make Christ their number one priority in life. 

4.  Our church is being profiled on the radio this week!  Tune into WYLL AM 1160 Monday-Friday at 7:55 AM to hear me read a verse of the day.  Also, at some point during the 8:00 AM hour, they will air parts of an interview with me.  I share my testimony and tell the story of our church.  Praise God that all of Chicagoland is hearing our story the week before we move to 2 services!  Truly a God-thing.  (You can also visit WYLL.com to listen to the interview.)  

5.  Please make this a week of fervent prayer.  I am inviting everyone to join me in praying for our ministry teams daily throughout the week.  Here is a prayer guide: 
Monday: Pray for the Worship Team & Tech Team/Stage Crew-Pastor Mark and Brad Whitla
Tuesday: Pray for Children's Ministry and Children's Check-in-Pastor Brandon and Diane Janckenko
Wednesday: Pray for the Preaching and Prayer Team-Pastor Ryan and Mike Janckenko
Thursday:  Pray for Parking and Security Team-Jeremy Ritzema and Bill Wayteck
Friday:  Pray for the Road Crew and Ushers/Greeters/Counters-Mike Melody, Ken Tiesenga and Glen Nielsen
 
Let's pray with great expectation that God will move in a special way this weekend for His Glory!

WedWednesdayJanJanuary11th2012 Another big Sunday
Greetings!

We have another great Sunday planned for this weekend.  As we gain traction and momentum in 2012, I don't want you to be left behind!  I will present somewhat of an annual report to the congregation this Sunday.  I want you to know what God did through us in 2011.  I trust the "facts" will bless and encourage you.  This will not take the place of a message from God's Word.  On the contrary, I will also cast vision for 2012.  It is going to be the greatest year of fruitfulness yet, to the glory and praise of God. 

Also, here are a few links that might be helpful to you:
