Assignment for next time (Sept 6):  Part 3 of Chapter 3 in Packer's book.  I still have a few copies left so invite some people from your church to join us.  Memorize: Deut. 10:12, 1 Peter 2:1-3 and Hebrews 10:23.

Mandy reported that Sarah from Hopkins is interested in teaching Harvesters beginners conversational Spanish as well as helping us start a TESOL program.  Mandy will call and invite her to the next meeting.  Mandy also got info on a class in Holland but the Fall session is full.  The coordinator will call her in the Spring.

Ruth Ann also reported on a TESOL program in the OPC denomination.  She will research that project more for the next meeting.

The Classis Michigan Missions Committee asked Harvesters to spread the word about the Fall Missions Rally.  It is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 4 at Bethany URC in Wyoming.  Rev. Steve Poelman will be speaking and there will be a presentation by the 2007 Summer Mission Team.  Specifically we are asked to inform our youth group leaders about this event and to encourage young people to attend.

Note the date for the evangelism conference at Dutton URC: Saturday, Sept. 22.

The Street Corner Ministry will start Friday night, Sept. 7 from 5-7:30 PM.  Kristi will get labels made with the contact info of the churches that replied to our request.  Mandy will put announcements in bulletins asking for baked goods to distribute that night.

Audra will be in touch with the Garden of Hope.  We want to send a portion of our group to the Eastern sight on the 7th as well.  Please get Mary's or Julie's number from Audra before then so you can set up a time to visit the Garden and get some training on speaking to women about abortion.

We are putting together a book list of study materials for Harvesters to be approved by the Bethel Counsel.  Mandy will submitt the list on Aug. 20 at the Outreach meeting.
