Radically Transformed Lives | |
||
As God ministers to each of us deeply, we believe there will be tangible evidence of that touch in the way we live our lives. In other words, everyone around us should know that something has changed in our life. We call that “radical transformation” – the type of transformation that is not ordinary or common but has profound impact on our life and the lives of those around us. That radical transformation could be seen in an actual physical healing of our body or an emotional healing that is evident to our closest friends. It could be seen in the way we treat our parents, spouse, or children. It could be evident in the strength of our marriage and family or in the increased ethical practices of our business dealings. Radical transformation could include very dramatic changes in the way we use our time, our money, our talents and skills. It also includes transformation in the unseen places of our lives – the places only you know that have changed because God has changed you! The point is that we are constantly in the process of transformation – becoming more like Christ. Radical transformation is not only about serious changes in our lives but also in the lives around us. We believe that God desires us to be transformation-agents for our families, the small groups we attend, our neighborhoods, community, country, and the world in which we live. Become a transformation agent! At Harvest we encourage you to be part of the transformation process by participating in the following: Small Groups A small group is two or more people meeting together for prayer, study of God’s Word, and fellowship with a designated leader who has a leader. Groups meet constantly and come in different “flavors”. A list of current small groups and contact information can be found behind the “Connecting” tab in this packet, at the church, or on our website at www.harvestva.org. Intercession We believe that in order to see transformation in our lives and our community we must take an offensive posture in spiritual warfare. Several times each week we open the church for corporate prayer and intercession that primarily focuses on others beyond the four walls of Harvest. You are invited to participate anytime: Prayer and intercession times Sunday am7:30 – 8:30 am Sanctuary - Sunday am7:30 – 8:30 am Kidztown Trailer Tuesday am5:00 – 6:00 am Sanctuary - Wednesday pm7:00 – 8:00 pm House of Prayer In addition, we offer two prayer environments where you can come and pray on your own time, either alone or with a small group of others: The House of Prayer A peaceful environment available 24 hours a day that easily facilitates time for reflection as well as focused intercession. You may access The House of Prayer, the octagonal building behind the main facility, by picking up a key from the office. The Whisper Room A prophetic, creative environment that fosters a wide variety of prayer expressions. The Whisper Room is located within the Student Ministry modular (to the side of our main facility and closest to Kempsville Road). Open during daytime hours and also 24/7 during specific time periods. Equipping Opportunities The key to growing is regular feeding! At Harvest, we offer many ways to be equipped and spiritually fed: • Sunday Worship Messages • Conferences and Seminars • Small Group Teaching and One-on-One Mentorship Resources in the Media Center and Family Resource Center Ministry Opportunities. You don’t have to be perfect to serve. If that were the case, none of us would be serving! In fact, it is well-known that when you give to others, you yourself receive a great return. That is why we encourage everyone who calls Harvest home to find a place to serve. Whether it is distributing food for the needy, teaching 4-year-olds, mentoring a man who was recently released from prison, playing in a worship band, volunteering in the office, or leading a small group, it does not matter. Find a place to give yourself away in passion and service. Harvest can help you connect to a ministry that suits your passions and giftings. A copy of current ministry opportunities is behind the “Connections” tab in this packet, at the church, or on our website. You will find ministry descriptions, commitment requirements, any qualifications that are needed, and contact information for that ministry’s leader.
