Advent Giving

As a part of Harvest’s Advent focus, we give a special Advent offering. This offering is a unique way we ask our church to consider SPENDING LESS on a few Christmas gifts and GIVE MORE to those in need. This year we have chosen two recipients for our Advent Giving.
  • First Image translation services
  • Gift for the Webbers.
