BUILDING COMMUNITY
The last couple of years have been particularly challenging regarding
the idea of building community. In the COVID-19 season, we have been separated by distance and the ability to meet and grow in community together.
Praise God, that season seems to be coming to an end. We are very thankful that we can now invite parents and friends back on site to join us in different activities.
Recently in the Primary School, we celebrated Book Week, where we were blessed to have so many family and friends join in with this book-loving celebration! What a fantastic morning it was! How lovely to see parents back celebrating with us at Harvest!
Hebrews 10:24-25 says, ‘And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging
one another.’ When we are on our own and out of community with others, we can become isolated. However, as the author of Hebrews wrote, when we come together, we can spur each other on towards love. By coming together, we can support, encourage one another and grow in community.
We are thrilled that we can have visitors back on site and look forward to seeing you soon as we work together to grow and strengthen our Harvest community!
There, as the words of the great song declare, ‘the things of Earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His Glory and Grace’.
Be encouraged whether you are a student, parent, grandparent, staff member, or connected to Harvest in any other capacity. ‘His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires’ (2 Peter 1:3-4).
