Park2Park Race
Sep
27

Park2Park Race

The Park2Park Half-Marathon course starts and ends at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds and includes scenic views of Lake Macatawa, Holland State Park, and Lakeshore Drive. September temperatures are just right for a half - with an average chance for some automatic sweat relief (otherwise known as rain ... some years heavier than others).  The 5k run through Waukazoo Woods also starts and ends at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds

Enjoy a weekend in friendly and quaint Holland, Michigan, located on the west coast of the state, right along Lake Michigan, just 2 1/2 hours north of Chicago. Holland is the home of Tulip Time, wooden shoes, Hope College, Holland State Park, vibrant downtown shopping and eating, and the Park2Park!

The proceeds from the Park2Park benefit Neighbors Plus, a local non-profit on the northside of Holland.  The work of Neighbors Plus helped 938 individuals in this community in 2023/2024, with the help of 228 incredible volunteers.

If you are interested in being a volunteer on Race Day, we would love to have you join us!  For more information, please contact ken@harderwyk.com

Please join us Saturday, September 27th for the 2025 race!

Harderwyk Combined Worship
May
25

Harderwyk Combined Worship

Due to the cooler, wet weather, we are moving our holiday weekend service and picnic indoors! Join us for one Harderwyk worship service in the Sanctuary of the Red Brick Building.

Pastor Bill will be leading our service today:
Sharing Grief To Bring Gospel Hope
I Thessalonians 4:13-14

To be honest: grief is part of the package of life on a broken planet.  Paul gives a foundation for facing the grief of life based on the death and resurrection of Jesus to the believers in Thessalonica and through them to us, and through us to our community. 

Nursery is available in the lower level of the Red Brick Building. The Sanctuary balcony has a space for parent-supervised quiet play for young children. Activity clipboards and binders will be available for elementary children to use during the service.

Are you a visitor? Do you have questions? Connect with us and let us know you are coming!

Ash Wednesday
Mar

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent.  An Ash Wednesday service seeks to remind Christians that we were formed from dust and to dust our bodies will return – to remind us that we are spiritually, emotionally, morally, intellectually, and relationally fragile beings. Ashes, which symbolize death and repentance, are placed on the worshiper's foreheads in the form of the cross with the officiate saying, Remember that thou art dust, and to dust, you shall return.

Join us in the Sanctuary as we mark the beginning of the season of Lent following a light soup supper.

If you are unable to join us in person, view our live stream on our Celebration YouTube Channel.
