In your honor, Missions will host our fellowship gathering after the 10:00 service on November 9th. We will have a hearty brunch and EVERYONE IS INVITED!!! Please plan to attend. Brunch will be served consisting of breakfast and lunch items to include fried chicken, meat balls, a variety of sandwiches, variety of salads, baked beans, bagels, sausage bites, deviled eggs, just to name a few.

Angel Tree/Salvation Army
Salvation Army’s goal is to assist parents through the Angel Tree Program to provide gifts for their children during the Christmas season. The plan for the Loudoun Salvation Army is to provide gifts to approximately 1350 children this year. They rely on help from the community to reach their goal.
Harmony will be collecting unwrapped gifts to donate. There will be a box in the social hall for toys, bedding, and clothing, beginning November 28. Gifts must be dropped off by December 15. See Marcey Kellogg with questions.
Merchant Card Program
One of the fundraisers that the church participates in is the Merchant Card Program. For every merchant (gift) card sold, the church receives a percentage. For example, if you purchase a $25 Amazon gift card, the church will receive 1.5%, a $25 Walmart card gives the church 2.5% . We have a list of different restaurants, stores, and even gas stations, to choose from. If you would like to see the list and are interested in purchasing for birthdays, holidays, graduation, etc., please contact Robin in the church office.
