Visit to HCF

A few of HCF's youth group

We traveled to Knoxville on Saturday to eat dinner with a couple of friends. We were invited to Harvest Christian Fellowship for Sunday's morning service. Jeff shared the word. His message was entitled "Who Will Ascend the Hill of the Lord." He challenged the congregation to strive to be in God's presence continually. It's not just for our leaders to do...but we are all called to be in God's presence. He shared about the upcoming NEXUS Retreat and POWERHOUSE 2011. Thanks to Pastor Dyer and Sharon Farruggia for the invitation.

First IMPACT Event 2011 - Lebanon, TN

We had our first IMPACT Event. IMPACT Events are student led worship, student leaders speaking about prayer and then guided prayer services. The initial idea was taken from the International Youth Ministries event that was held at the Hickory Valley COGOP last fall. We want to get our student leaders in Tennessee involved in leading their peers in worship and in prayer for every aspect of the world around them, from their personal lives, to their churches, and their government.


Our first event was held at the Lebanon COGOP and we appreciate Pastor Meadors for allowing us to come and gather at his church. Worship was led by a youth band called Promise Given. Our service was opened by Jon-Thomas Calvert and Lindsey McKinley spoke and challenged the young people on the importance of prayer. The service concluded with guided prayer.
