A Reason to Celebrate

Harvest time has always been jubilant time. In the agricultural economies of our heritage, it was the payoff. It's what people worked for so long and so hard. We carry that tradition of joy with us into the present.

At THF we have an annual celebration of the harvest called Fall Festival. This October 31st, from 6:30-8:30 pm on the THF campus, we will celebrate again and we want our community to celebrate with us.

You are invited. This celebration is free and the fun is for everyone. You can follow the link for Fall Festival on this page to find out more.

Communion and the Lord's Supper

Undoubtedly, the word communion conjures up visual images of priests and robes and high church ceremony. I supposed that is one application. However, at its heart, the word has a more familiar texture. In fact, the source of communion falls nearer a more familiar, used word: community. Both have an old English word for sharing as their root. Both represent something that we share...something that we have in common.

This Sunday, THF will celebrate communion, what a lot of us refer to as The Lord's Supper, as a part of our worship expression. We will rejoice in that - better said, HIM that we have in common. It will be a poignant, meaningful time of reflection, remembrance, and celebration. Hope you'll be there.

We will celebrate twice - 9:01 and again at 10:46 am.

See you here!
