Community Invited to Attend Free Events, July 14-16th
Submitted by Harvest New Beginnings Church
Harvest New Beginnings in Oswego will recognize its 60-year anniversary July 14-16 with a celebration weekend including a free concert, car show, and outside celebration service with food, games and family fun. All events are free, and the community is invited to attend.
Harvest, formerly known as Oswego Baptist, held its first service on July 7, 1963, and met at 254 S. Madison, near downtown Oswego. The church moved to its present location at Plainfield and Douglas Road in 1993, and has continued to see growth in attendance and church membership. In the past 10 years, the church has added a new worship sanctuary seating 1,200 with a large, welcoming foyer, a cafe and outdoor patio. The church now sits on 31 acres of land, much of it acquired by donation.
The 60-year Anniversary Celebration will include a variety of festivities kicking off Friday with a free indoor concert with Vertical Worship at 7 p.m. On Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3p.m., the church will host a car, bike and tractor show with food and coffee trucks at Harvest. Sunday, the community is invited to attend the outdoor Celebration Service at 10am under the big tent in the Harvest fields, followed by a BBQ lunch, outdoor games, bouncy houses and more. There is no charge for any of the weekend events and the public may attend. Free concert tickets and anniversary event details are posted online www.atharvest.church.
Harvest New Beginnings is located at Plainfield and Douglas Roads, 5315 Douglas Road, Oswego.
