2021 Year End Review Quotes
YOUTH:
“Jesus died for our sins and gave me new life! He has constantly shown me what true love means and how I should show it too. In my life, God has done miracles and changed me for the better! He has constantly been by my side, guiding me and never leaving.” – Kenna
KIDS MINISTRY:
“Today I’m getting baptized because I love Jesus with all my heart and want everyone to know it!” – Abigail, 8 yrs
THE LAB (college gathering):
“The biggest thing I needed to hear was if you still think about it or feel it it needs to be resolved. I am quick to try to hold onto conflict to spare other’s feelings and the Lab discussion really convicted me in that and how unhealthy that is.” -Kalie
“The Lab was such an awesome addition to college ministry this semester! I experienced fellowship, worship, and my faith differently than I do at the 7 every week. The leadership approached topics in ways I never had encountered before, I got to meet new people in college ministry that made HC feel more like home, and I got to serve the church in unique ways! I can’t wait for next semester of the lab!” – Abby
BIBLE READING PLAN:
“The Bible Reading Plan has helped me to stay in His word more consistently than I’ve managed in the past. I really appreciate the passage, commentary questions and resources being in my email every morning.” – Scott
“The Bible reading plan has deepened my intimacy with Jesus and has helped me more faithfully and consistently spend daily time in Gods word. Sometimes it can be intimidating to dive into Scripture, but this resource makes a world of a difference! It has become my favorite way to spend my mornings!” – Brie
NEW MEMBERS:
“I’ve known Jesus. I’ve loved Jesus, but He has become more beautiful to me since being at Harris Creek.” – Haley
“We wanted to find a church that was not only Bible believing but a church that was community driven. Seeing the church in the community is a direct reflection of the gospel.” – Daniel
LIFE GROUP:
“ I was always afraid of what people would think of me if I actually admitted who I really was when no one was watching. Yet, something in me was craving freedom. I finally admitted to my new friends my sins. It was crazy because one by one I realized I wasn’t alone. So many women struggle. Keeping these sins to ourselves to act “perfect on the outside” is not going to allow us to find freedom. I want more women to realize we don’t have to fight alone because God has given us himself as well as community.” – Kate
BECOMING SOMETHING PODCAST:
“I’ve been listening to Becoming Something since it began in 2019 and I am better because of it. This podcast is real, practical, theologically sound and fun! The conversations that JP, Nate and Kathy have each week make me choose more intentionally who I want to become.” – Tristen
