IT’S SUMMERTIME, AND TUESDAY MORNING COFFEES ARE BACK
SPROUTS IS HAVING SUMMER CAMP! Come discover Florida with us. Each week we will explore a different aspect of our state. THE AFRICAN CHILDREN’S CHOIR TO PERFORM IN ST. PETERSBURG
SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL SERVANT TEACHERS NEEDED
You could make a difference in the life of children this summer! How? By serving as a Sunday School Servant Teacher! This opportunity enables you to plant and nurture seeds of faith by sharing your love of God with children. You don't have to be a Bible whiz or have all the answers. What our children really need are people filled with hearts of love for God and a willingness to journey with them in faith. Our curriculum suggests several activities to choose from each week, so you select the ones you are most comfortable with and that you think the children will enjoy. Summer Sunday School runs from June 7th - August 30th at 9 am and 10:30 am, allowing you to teach during one hour and worship during the other. Our goal is to create teaching teams of 3 - 4 servants for each classroom to accommodate everyone's vacation plans while still providing for our children's Christian education during the summer. Training will be provided and background checks are required as part of Harvest's Children & Youth Protection Policy. If you are interested in serving or have questions, please contact Caroline Anderberg at 907-7333 or canderberg@harvest-umc. HARVEST WELCOMES PASTORAL INTERN
VISITATION MINISTRY SUPPORTS PARISHIONERS, CAREGIVERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS

Harvest Women’s Ministry invites all women to come to Monkey Paws for coffee and fellowship on Tuesday mornings. This is a great way to meet new friends and keep up with “old” ones. Feel free to stop by anytime between 9:00 and 10:30 am. We will be
meeting each Tuesday throughout the summer. No RSVP necessary. Children and friends are welcome. Monkey Paws is located in the Publix plaza on SR70 and Lakewood Ranch Boulevard. Any questions, please contact Patricia McKeithen at 737-3635 OR
On Wednesday, July 1st at 7 pm the African Children’s Choir will perform at Christ United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg. The 28 children in this group are from Uganda and will present a 70 minute concert of singing, dancing, drumming and showing views of their lives in Uganda. All who have heard any African Children’s Choirs before know of the not-to-be-missed opportunity that this concert and their visit brings. The address of the church is 467 1st Ave N, St. Petersburg, near the St. Pete City Hall. Admission is free. An offering will be taken and African Children’s Choir products will be available.
Summer is right around the corner at Harvest, and that signals it’s time for us to welcome a pastoral intern to the family. Juana Jordan, a first-year student at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology, will join us for 13 weeks, starting May 17 and ending August 9. Before going to seminary, Juana worked in the communications field for 15 years, mostly as a daily newspaper reporter and editor in Valdosta, Georgia and Tallahassee, Florida. While she’s with us this summer, Juana will preach a few times, lead small groups, visit hospitals and just learn more about ministry. Please join Steve, Catherine and the Staff-Parish Team in graciously welcoming Juana to Harvest.
