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.

Summer of Renewal: Renewed Responsibility
Some of the most painful words in Scripture are spoken not in anger, but in indifference: “Am I my brother’s keeper?” This Sunday, as we continue our Summer of Renewal series, we’ll explore Genesis 4:1–10 alongside John 10 and reflect on what it means to be responsible for one another - not as a burden, but as a gift. In a world where it’s easier to look away, Jesus shows us a different way: the Good Shepherd who draws near, bears our burdens, and invites us to do the same for others. Forgiveness opens the door for the renewal of our relationships, and love steps through to carry what we cannot carry alone.
I am looking forward to being with you this Sunday!
Matt

Summer of Renewal: Renewed Relationships - Forgiveness: A Love Story w/ Steve Van Atta
We've all heard the cliches about forgiveness, such as "Forgive and forget," "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission," and "To err is human. To forgive, divine," words that serve to amplify the uncertainty and misunderstanding surrounding one of God's most important gifts. As we'll see this Sunday morning, asking for and receiving forgiveness produces love. Perhaps best of all, the love produced by forgiveness has the potential to renew our relationships.
It's a busy four days before we gather for worship Sunday, but if you can, take time to read Luke 7:36 to 50 and discover Jesus' brick-through-the-window teaching on the power of forgiveness. See you soon,
Steve
