Welcome from Reverend Dr. Jeffrey Jones
‘Ecclesia’. That is the Latin word for congregation. It means that each congregation is more than a simple gathering. It is an event of God’s grace. We believe God has called us together here in Harmony Evangelical Presbyterian Church to know and share His grace in Jesus Christ. Perhaps God is calling you to be part of His church. We would love for you to come and discern your call with us. Only together can we be the Ecclesia of God.
Worship
"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Rather fear him who can destroy both body and soul in hell."
We are drawn to worship to strengthen our fear of the Lord.
The scripture lesson for Sunday, October 20, will be Psalm 56:1-4
& Matthew 10:16-28.
The sermon title will be "Lion For God."
~ Next Sunday, October 27,
we will gather for Soup Luncheon!
Please plan to stay after worship and break bread with your family in Christ.
~ Thank Offering Sunday will be November 10. ~
Steven Tini of Child Evangelism in Butler County will be our guest Missionary speaker.
He will share the Lord's work through Child Evangelism during the 11:00 am service.
