Thank You For Serving Harmony Church! Check at the bottom of this Harmony Headline to see if your name is on the February serving schedule. Please mark your calendars and see Casey Johnston or Darry Armstrong if you want to serve your church!
21? We had almost 20 men this past Saturday at ManYOUfacturing! Will we have 21 this Saturday? This Saturday we will dig a little deeper into what makes women tick? Do you know what women want? You will find out this week and it will transform your life, your marriage and your legacy! Bring a friend; it will be a great introduction into Harmony and meet other like-minded men!
Miracles Are Happening I heard from numerous people lately that they have been practicing their faith and God has been moving on their behalf. So what is your story? Have you been actively seeking God's voice and acting on His leading? If so, please pass on the good word so that we may encourage one another in our walks with Christ. We shall live by faith, as that is the only way to really live, isn't it?
Demonic Faith This Sunday we continue on with our Facets of Faith series and try to tap into the fabulous life God has for us. There are things we can do to help activate our faith and live faith out daily in our lives. But did you know that there is a demonic faith out there that you must be aware of? Pastor Garth will take us on a journey and help us plug into the active side of faith. Get ready to live an adventure. See you Sunday and don't forget...every Sunday at Harmony is visitor Sunday!
Who Will It Be? Who are you brining to church this Sunday? Speaking of faith, why not pick up the phone right now and invite someone to Harmony and know that God will work on your behalf. It may take once, twice or even 20 times, but do not give up! God wants to change peoples' lives, and He will use you and your invitation!
Harmony Giving Statements Please email Sara VanZandt at saravanzandt@hotmail.com if you have questions regarding your Harmony Giving Statement.
Building? Are you praying for us as we seek God's guidance in finding a building? Why a building?
*A place to call home
*A place to meet and build relationships
*A place to put on our own special services
*A place to be seen by the world
*A way to spur growth
*A place for our children to play and grow in God
*A place to hold evangelistic events
*A way to save money
*A place to have a HiDef youth room
There are many reasons. Join us in praying for God's perfect location. I believe it is out there. We must push through for a place of our own.
Winning Lottery Ticket! Wouldn't it be great to buy someone a winning lottery ticket? They are short money, life is tough and they could use a boost. You pick up a lottery ticket for them and WHAM, they win! Now, I do not suggest you go out and buy lottery tickets, but you can give someone an even better gift. Invite them to Harmony Church and watch God change their life. It's not up to you to change them, just invite them and let God do the rest. Every Sunday is a friend Sunday. Don't miss an opportunity to listen to God and invite someone.
Fasting For The New Year Have you ever experienced the power of fasting? It may seem a little weird that fasting can bring strength, but it can. It is a unique scriptural principal that can catapult you into a new level of power in your spiritual life. Here are some principals to go by. Join me this New Year in a fast! Specifically, let's fast, pray and study believing to find the right building!
If you do not already know of the power and importance of fasting, here are some very important facts:
  • Fasting was an expected discipline in both the Old and New Testament eras. For example, Moses fasted at least two recorded forty-day periods. Jesus fasted 40 days and reminded His followers to fast, "when you fast," not if you fast.
  • Fasting and prayer can restore the loss of the "first love" for your Lord and result in a more intimate relationship with Christ.
  • Fasting is a biblical way to truly humble yourself in the sight of God (Psalm 35:13; Ezra 8:21). King David said, "I humble myself through fasting."
  • Fasting enables the Holy Spirit to reveal your true spiritual condition, resulting in brokenness, repentance, and a transformed life.
  • The Holy Spirit will quicken the Word of God in your heart and His truth will become more meaningful to you!
  • Fasting can transform your prayer life into a richer and more personal experience.
  • Fasting can result in a dynamic personal revival in your own life-and make you a channel of revival to others.
  • Fasting and prayer are the only disciplines that fulfill the requirements of II Chronicles 7:14:
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Sermons Are Now Up-To-Date Thanks to Darry Armstrong for updating our sermons on our webpage www.harmonybwb.com, along with Jason Gilmore for all his tireless work on our webpage. If a message spoke to you in the past few months, send the link to a friend who you think might also need to hear it! God's word will not return void, it has the power to change, set free and forgive and give life.
Building By Good Friday We have been actively seeking out buildings to use in order to be better steward of our time and money. We also believe that the right location and building could help give us a greater opportunity to reach people for Jesus. My prayer is to have a building by Good Friday. We appreciate your prayers as we try to do what God is telling us to do. We believe He will open up the right door so we can do the same.
