Membership implies reward and responsibility. Church membership is an interesting thing because you can attend all your life without joining in any formal way and for the most part I guess nobody cares. It certainly doesn't impact your eternal standing before God. Yet, there is something to be said about signing on with any group in such a way that you are in effect saying, "I stand with this group of people and I believe in the direction we are going". That is the kind of opportunity we want to provide: an identification with Harvest Community Church as one of the expressions of what God is doing in this community.
This Sunday, March 22nd, right after the morning worship time at the Little Theater, we will meet over at the Ministry Centre to talk more about why we do what we do. It is a relaxed time to ask and understand what goes into making HCC what it is. There is responsibility involved mainly in the form of committment to a vision of what God would do. There is also reward in partnering with a group of people to be used of God in ways we may not even imagine today. There is a more immediate reward too: lunch! Hope to see you Sunday!
