2013 marks the 20th anniversary of Harvest House. Two big events have already happened this year: the operation of the new, expanded New Hope Education Center, which opened for classes on March 11th. Also, the expanded Baby and Children's ministry moved to its larger space on Jefferson Avenue on April 1st! Yes, 2013 continues to unfold to be an exciting year! On October 4th we will celebrate our 20 Year Anniversary with a gala event. Watch for updates! |
On April 19, 2013, the ribbon cutting ceremony for the New Hope Education Center included several dignitaries: Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples Stokes, Assemblyman Mickey Kearns and State Senator Tim Kennedy. We are happy to receive their enthusiasm and support for the project to expand the education center.
