Harvest Family Life would like to invite you to attend our 2021 \;&ldquo\;STAND SUNDAY IMMERSION.&rdquo\; \; In times of crises children in communities of concentrated poverty are the ones who suffer most. \;The purpose of this IMMERSION is to bring awareness and a call to action to our faith communities. \;We hope to explore ways to bring hurting children and families hope\, help and healing. \;We believe the church should be at the core of this movement in ever community. \;&ldquo\;Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.&rdquo\; \;James 1:27 \;
