Dear Harvest Family,
Our November meeting this past Tuesday was a blessing. We spent time in prayer and had meaningful, Spirit-led conversations about how the Lord continues to shape His church. As we move forward, our desire as elders is to keep seeking God’s wisdom together—trusting Him to lead us every step of the way. Would you join us in praying for His continued direction and grace over Harvest?
We’re deeply thankful for each of you who have participated in the recent Town Hall Celebrations. Your thoughtful questions, honest feedback, and evident love for the Lord and His church have encouraged us greatly. It has been a joy to share how God is at work at Harvest and to see the unity He is building among us.
We’re also grateful for our Lead Team and staff, who have invested time and energy into preparing and participating in these Town Halls. We, as elders, have truly enjoyed being with many of you in person. If you haven’t yet attended a town hall, there are two more opportunities—at the Crystal Lake Campus this Sunday, November 16, at 12:45 PM and at the Aurora Campus on Sunday, November 23, at 11:45 AM.
Outside of those meetings, please know that we’re always available to pray with you or answer any questions you may have. You can reach us anytime at [email protected]rg, or simply stop us if you see us at church (we love to talk with you!). If you’d like to know who your elders are, you can find that information on the Our Elders page on the church website.
Below you’ll find the agenda for this week’s meeting. As always, we welcome your prayers and any questions you may have.
