6th Annual CrossWalk

Many people are just living there lives like they are promised another
day. We get so wrapped up with the circumstances of this world that we
take our eyes off of Jesus and find ourselves seeking as Peter did. We
blame others for our wrong choices and expect others to fix them. We
are so quick to put our hands out to receive a blessing but rarely do
we extend a hand to be a blessing. We need to get our priorities in
order in order for a real change to happen we have to adopt 2 Chron
7:14 which says “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal
their land.

This September 4th starting at noon people from all walks of faith
will be gathering in front of Lorain City Hall for the National Day of
People with Integrity; for the 6th annual Cross Walk sponsored by
Church of the New Harvest. We will first meet for a time of prayer as
we turn our hearts to the needs of this community after which we will
start carrying a cross up Broadway Avenue to RT. 254 heading onto Lake
Ave till we end at Elyria City Hall. We encourage participants to
walk, drive, cheer, and support any amount they feel they can. As we
walk we will pray over this community, the homes, families and
businesses that we pass. This community needs prayer, encouragement
and support so no matter the weather the cross walk will continue to
take place rain or shine.

As a pastor whose vision is “equipping people to believe, receive and
achieve all that God has for them”. I believe it is vital that on this
day that we march right into the enemy’s camp and take back what
belongs to us our economy, jobs, schools and families. I believe that
God has a plan and purpose for all of us, one that is meant to prosper
us and not harm us. God wants everyone to know that in Him we have a
hope and a future. God desires to give His people good things. Yet
just as He makes sure that the sparrows are fed He doesn’t go around
dropping worms off in all their nests. We are expected to be
responsible and live our lives with integrity making good decisions
that will bring about a prosperous outcome. If we want to see a change
then we as people of integrity need to step out in faith and instead
of being part of the problem seek to be part of the solution.

Proudly on this day our Mayor of Lorain has again declared this the
“The National Day of People with Integrity” and also urges all to come
out and support this positive community event. If you have any
questions or would like more information regarding this event please
contact Pastor Danny Parsons at 1(440)714-0820 or email at
outreach@churchofthenewharvest.org. Each year the response to this
event and day grows more and more and we want to see it explode this
year like never before and resonate through our whole county and
state. Don’t miss out on your chance to be a part of change.
This years crosswalk will be held in honor of Danny Parsons Sr. who
back in Oct was dx with Renal Cancer. Danny will be leading this years
crosswalk of by being the first to carry the cross. We are encouraging
all friends, familys who have cancer or lives has been touched by
cancer in some way to join with us Sept 4th at Lorain City Hall for a
special time of prayer before we begin the 9 mile walk in .
