~ LIVE NATIVITY ~ SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15

A rich Harrison tradition will continue its long run this year. For the 22nd year in a row, on Sunday night, December 15th, we will hold a Live Nativity scene. This Live Nativity is complete with live animals, Angels singing from above, and of course a real baby Jesus. This is one of Harrisons greatest annual gifts to the community and hundreds of people come each year to experience the real reason for the Christmas season. There are many places to volunteer. We need shepherds, angels, village people and Mary and Joseph and the baby. We can use folks to help set up on Saturday the 14th and tear down the night directly after the scene is over at 8:00 pm. We will have a table set up outside the church services for the next few weeks. Please consider giving just a few hours of your time to help bless the community with this event. Don Hemby will be around after each service to help you sign up. Or sign up at:

Childrens Ministry: Infants 5th Grade FUZE NEWS...
This past Sunday, 19 Youth from Harrison spent the afternoon and evening putting their Faith Into Action. The day began meeting in Hammill Hall to prepare hot soup, rolls, and cookies. While the cooking was going on, a small group delivered two frozen turkeys to the Charlotte Rescue Mission for their Thanksgiving Dinner Campaign. Once the cooking was done, we headed uptown and set up a makeshift soup kitchen near the Mens Shelter of Charlotte. We served approximately 20 guests, listened to some stories, and had meaningful prayer. Our young people got a lot out of the event and they want to do this again, soon. In fact, they have come up with some new ideas for menus and how to logistically serve the guests. It was a real blessing to watch these young people put their faith into action. Find out whats going on in Harrisons Youth Ministry at:
