Harvest Baptist Church of Gravette has a Christmas Eve service planned for the community at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 24. The service will last about an hour.

Share the Harvest
Share the Harvest food pantry, a ministry of Harvest Baptist Church, is open and serving clients every Thursday afternoon from 1 to 5 p.m. The pantry will be closed, however, on Thursday, Dec. 25 and Jan. 1, for Christmas and New Year's Day respectively. The food pantry will be open on New Year's Eve (Wednesday, Dec. 31) from 1 to 5 p.m. so pantry clients will not have to miss two consecutive weeks of closings. Clients were asked to come the week before in order to receive their monthly food, but are welcome on New Year's Eve in the event that they forget or have a need. The pantry is located within Harvest Baptist Church, located at 11036 N. Highway 59 in Gravette -- two miles south of town. For more information, please contact pastor Deryl King at 479-721-1650 or [email protected]. More information about the church and upcoming events can be found at: http://harvestgravette.webs.com.
