“Do This in Remembrance of Me”

One reason we at Harvest Time take communion is to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus broke bread and drank wine with His disciples, instructing them to do the same in remembrance of Him

(Luke 22:19-20). Communion honors the death of Jesus and reflects on the magnitude of His love.

Harvest Time provides communion services on the First Sunday of every month.

Our Vision

At Harvest Time Empowerment Center of Worship, our vision is to spread the message of faith and love, bringing people closer to Christ. We strive to provide a spiritual sanctuary where individuals can find solace, guidance, and a sense of belonging.

Overseer Totanesha Green

Vice President
Chief Administrator
Women's Ministry President

President of Harvest Time ECW's Women's Ministry (Woman 2 Woman)

WOMAN 2 WOMAN WAS BORN IN 2015 WITH THE ORIGINAL NAME OF TLC MINISTRIES. (TOTTALY LOVING CHRIST MINISTRIES), BUT THE NAME HAD TO CHANGE SHOWING THAT EVERYONE DIDN'T LOVE CHRIST JUST YET. THE WOMEN NEEDED SOMEONE TO TALK TO THEM TO SHOW THEM HOW AND WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT TO BE SOLD OUT TO CHRIST AND TO LOVE HIM. SO, I WAS LISTENING TO A SONG BY SHIRLEY BROWN "WOMAN TO WOMAN" EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS TALKING TO THIS OTHER WOMAN ABOUT A CERTAIN SITUATION CONCERNING A MAN GOD SAID THAT'S WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO IS TO TALK TO OTHER WOMEN NOT FOR A NATURAL MAN REASON BUT BECAUSE OF MY REASONS. SO, WHEN YOU HEAR ME TALKING ABOUT WOMAN 2 WOMEN,
I'LL KIND OF BEGIN OFF THE THEME SONG, THEN I'LL SAY, NOT FOR HER REASONS BUT FOR MY FATHER GOD'S REASON. TO REACH WOMEN FROM An UNGODLY PLACE THAT ARE GOING THROUGH WHAT I WAS, ARE & WERE GOING THROUGH. TO FACE & UNDERSTAND THEM PERSONALLY AND SPIRITUALLY AND SPEAK TO THEM UNTIL THEY GOT TO A GODLY PLACE IN THE BIBLE & HOW TO BECOME A PROVERBS 31 WOMAN.
SO, I COULD ASSIST WITH THEIR OWN LIFE'S PURPOSE AND THEN START A BOOK CLUB BY READING RICK WARREN'S THE PURPOSE-DRIVEN LIFE.
LET HER KNOW, NO MATTER IF IT'S GOOD, BAD, OR UGLY THAT THEY CAN BE REMINDED OF ROMANS 8:28 AND WE KNOW WITH [GREAT CONFIDENCE]. THE GOD.
[WHO IS DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT US] CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [AS A PLAN] FOR GOOD, FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GOD TO THOSE WHO ARE CALLED, ACCORDING TO HIS PLAN AND PURPOSE.
I WOULD OFTEN EXERCISE WOMAN 2 WOMAN, WITH THE FEAR, IT SEEMED TO BE A PART OF THIS FAITHLESS TICKING TIME BOMB OF DOUBT, I WOULD LAY IT DOWN, AND IT WOULD LAY DORMANT BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK THAT I WAS GOOD ENOUGH OR HAD THE STRENGTH TO DO IT. BUT THEN I FOUND OUT THAT GOD'S STRENGTH IS MY JOY, AND THAT I COULD DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, WHO STRENGTHENS ME. I HAD OFTEN WISHED I COULD TRUST IN GOD, AND BELIEVE IN MYSELF, BUT GOD, I THEN COULD HEAR HIS VOICE OR COULD SEE THE VISION, COULD TRUST THE VISION & DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THOUGHT BECAUSE GOD GAVE IT TO ME TO BIRTH. HE GAVE IT TO ME TO STAND IN THE GAP FOR OTHER WOMEN, TO HELP THEM COME OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT. HE TOLD ME WOMAN REMEMBER YOU'RE
L. O, U. D (LEADING, OUTSTANDING, UNIQUE, DIGNIFIED WOMEN.} GOD GAVE ME A REVELATION FOR THE FIRST 3 LETTERS,
W2W, HE TOLD ME TO COUNT THE POINTS ON THE TOP OF THE W'S = (6) AND THE
POINTS ON THE #2 TOTALING 8
THE NUMBER 8 REPRESENTS A NEW BEGINNING, MEANING A NEW ORDER OR CREATION!
AND MAN'S TRUE 'BORN AGAIN' EVENT WHEN HE IS RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD
INTO ETERNAL LIFE.
EIGHT IS ALSO AN INTEGRAL PART OF JESUS' SACRIFICE. FROM ONE WOMAN 2 ANOTHER WOMAN, IT'S YOUR NEW BEGINNING BECAUSE YOU'VE SACRIFICED LONG ENOUGH!
