Rest In Peace!

Happy Tuesday Harvest!
Once again the heavy machinery and workmen are hard at work on the retaining wall downstairs in the new parking lot. At this pace they should be done VERY quickly- take a look this coming Sunday and I’m sure you’ll be impressed.

As I mentioned this last week, the Gideons International are going to be joining us March 14th for a presentation of God’s work through their ministry. Please welcome them! Since they will be doing a presentation during the Sunday School hour as well, please be on time and usher others into the Sunday School room at 11:30 AM!

Here, again, are the notes and the announcements.

Rest In Peace
Live Like a Song: Psalm 122

3 Applications from Psalm 122:

1. Church Ought to be a Happy Place! A place that we’re glad to come to, even when it means that we face some painful realities. We should be happy to connect to God, His people, and a clear view of reality.

2. We need to Wonder at the Work of God. The Psalmist expresses marvel at how God puts the people of God together in unity despite their diversity.

3. We need to Work toward the Principle of Peace. Enjoying fellowship and God’s work comes as we work toward not disturbing the peace that God gives to believers. It takes sacrifice!

Weekly Application Exercises:
1. Take stock of your ministries here at Harvest South Bay. How are you contributing to the Body here? What is your attitude toward that contribution? Do you look forward to ministering to others?

2. How can you work harder at making your time at church spiritually productive for others? Have you been praying with and for people as we were challenged to do at the beginning of the year?

Special Missions Offering
The Board has approved to set up a special offering for Mike and Nancy Tseng to provide for them two round trip air tickets for two of their parents to go from LA to visit them. If you like to participate in this offering, please specify in the memo of your check: “Mission Gift”. We are currently short only ~$400.

Refreshments Sign Up
The new sign up sheet is in the foyer! Sign up to do your part and thanks to all who have been faithfully supplying refreshments thus far!

Parking Lot Construction
Take a look out the window and see the progress of the retaining wall! Constuction has been delayed due to rain but completion of the project is not far off. Please advise your children to be careful during this period. Also, the project budget is still short $10,000. Please prayerfully consider giving toward the finalization of the parking lot as it adds to the ministry and welcoming nature of our church.
Communion Sunday!
Today is communion Sunday! Going forward we will partake of communion every last Sunday of the month. Prepare your hearts and anticipate the table of the Lord.

Baptism
As has been shared in the past, we are planning a Baptismal service. Please contact Byron if you are interested being baptized.
