Enchanted: Glory in the Wilderness w/ Matt Myers
This week in our sermon series we turn to Exodus 16. Israel is learning to walk with God, and much of that walking looks ordinary - hunger, complaint, a wilderness that feels empty. Into that place the Lord gives manna: not spectacle, just daily bread. Enough for today. We’ll linger with this story and consider how God heals a people - not by hurry or excess, but by presence, limits, and Sabbath. Looking forward to seeing you all this Sunday!
Warmly,
Matt

Enchanted: Come and See w/ Mark McHugh
I can’t wait to be back with ya’ll on Sunday and to hear more about your “Summer of Renewal”. But truly, that, I’m just so excited to see each of you, as I have really missed being with you over the past three months.
This Sunday, we’ll start a new series called “Enchanted” as we look at John 1:43-51 and the call of Nathaniel. To live enchanted runs counter to the world we live in. Join us Sunday as we learn together how to pay attention and to participate in what Jesus is up to all around us, even right now.
With deep love,
Mark

Summer of Renewal: Yet Even Now, Trust in the Plan w/ Sarah ButlerWills
How often do you turn to the prophets and the minor prophets to be more specific, for solace or even instruction on how we can navigate these difficult and troubling times? They are an excellent resource as the prophets were writing letters to their communities with just such instructions! This Sunday I will be sharing with you what the prophet Habakkuk shared with his people as they were in the process of being exiled, and their land was under duress. His encouragement is to lean into intimacy with God so that we can access what God has for us, the plan of the new thing that’s being formed, here and now!
It is one of those “upside down Kingdom things” that “yet even now” we can have hope and encouragement, and sometimes even passion toward the work of the Kingdom while everything in our current reality seems to be on a swift decline. Join with me in reading the short, just three chapters, book of Habakkuk. Meditate on Habakkuk’s experience of crying out to God, and the answers God responds with. Sink your anchor deep into Hab. 2:20, the Lord is still on the throne, yet even now!
Lewis County Back to School Event - Tissue Box Hand Out
For the past 2 years, Harrison Square has participated in a county wide back to school event hosted by the Lewis County Mentorship Program. It is a large event that thousands of Lewis County students attend to learn about community resources, and get supplies they need for schools. This year, we are hoping to collect lots of boxes of tissue to give out to the students who attend. If you would like to donate tissue boxes, please drop them off in the office!
If you would like to pass out tissue boxes at the event, let me know! I would love your help. The event is from 9am to 3pm August 21st.

Summer of Renewal: Renewal of Our Spiritual Lives w/ Jeff Holk
This Sunday, we’ll explore spiritual formation through Jesus’ promise of abundant life (John 10:10), demonstrated in the Spirit-formed, flourishing community of Acts 2. True abundance isn’t comfort but a life rooted in Christ, shaped by prayer, fellowship, and mission. Together, we’ll consider how God forms us to thrive—even in challenge—and how Harrison Square can live into this abundant life today.

Youth Summer Hangout Series - Hike & Food Outing
We’re kicking off a new season of youth ministry at Harrison Square with a series of relaxed, fun, and welcoming events designed to help youth connect, build friendships, and have a great time together.
All these events are open to middle and high school students. They’re low-pressure and full of opportunities to eat good food, laugh, and make new connections. Bring a friend, bring an appetite, and come hang out this summer!
Meet at the church parking lot. Let’s explore a nearby trail together and then head out for lunch after. Bring water, good shoes, and a little money for lunch.
