“Let us love one another, for love is from God and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.” (I John 4:7-8). We cannot express enough how much we appreciate the love and support we received from you during and after the recent loss of our daughter. The prayers, flowers, meals, visits, hugs and cards we received truly demonstrate God’s love. We are truly blessed. ~ The Klinkers and Oetman families

This meeting will be a time of discussion and then for a vote to approve the proposal from the Deacons.

Love INC ~ Please pray for a member of the Hamilton Community. There is a 62-year-old gentleman from a Hamilton community congregation that had a kidney transplant 29 years ago, unfortunately that kidney is functioning at 16 percent and is failing. We are asking God to provide a donor who has Type O blood, preferable under 65 years of age and no history of diabetes to provide this gift of love. Please pray for this family during this trying time and if God is moving you to find out more information regarding what it means to be a donor please email Pastor Steve at Harvest Christian Fellowship at steveleinbach@hotmail.com.
