Every Morning New Mercies

Jen Harris lives in the Pacific Northwest. She works alongside her husband, Craig, in church planting ministry, and raising their four children.
Originally from Canada, Jen grew up in British Columbia and spent many years pursuing her passion to study and serve in church ministry. She worked on staff at various churches and Christian organizations. In God’s very perfect timing, Craig & Jen met and married, started a family, and immigrated to America. Becoming a wife and mother was Jen’s dream come true. Her husband, Craig, is a pastor in the PCA denomination. They are enjoying this season of parenting & discipleship of their children in the tween & teen years.

With her husband, she has contributed to a collaborative music group called Gateway Hymns. She is the author of Christian biographies featured in Wildflowers Girls Magazine, has been a guest contributor for Deeply Rooted Magazine, and most recently for the EnCourage blog. Jen studied classical music with the Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum in Canada, holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Church Ministry, and loves serving women in childbirth as a Birth Doula. Most recently, she has begun teaching piano lessons and is finding great joy in passing on her knowledge and love of music to the next generation.

When Jen’s not busy at home with the kids, she’s busy out & about with the kids, going on adventures & making memories with a cup of tea or coffee in her hand and instrumental music playing in the background. She currently serves their church coordinating Women’s Discipleship initiatives.

Her greatest joy is knowing her Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Her greatest mission is to help others know Him too.

The God who made the world and everything in it,
being Lord of heaven and earth, 
does not live in temples made by man, 
nor is he served by human hands, 
as though he needed anything,
since he himself gives to all mankind 
life and breath and everything. 
And he made from one man every nation of mankind
to live on all the face of the earth, 
having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, 
that they should seek God, 
and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. 
Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for

“In him we live and move and have our being”;
as even some of your own poets have said,
“For we are indeed his offspring.”

Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being
is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. 
The times of ignorance God overlooked,
but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,  
because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world 
in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed;
and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.

Acts 17:24-31 The Bible, ESV
