Sunday School Session Concludes

We have concluded another session of study, Highland! Well done! To those who led us, thank you! I think I speak for all when I say that your commitment to preparation and to challenge us all to go deeper is appreciated.

To those who served in all other ways, know your work is invaluable within the life of Highland. How I appreciate your willingness to ensure all logistics are addressed thoroughly – both with care and thoughtfulness.

Highland, as we continue to go deeper, these Sunday School Sessions will remain a major roadway of discipleship for us. I want all of us to get involved! Let’s cultivate a church-culture that prizes growing in Christ and desires discipleship.

We must continue to stay together, study together and serve together, saturating the life of Highland with Scripture. Oh, Highland, may we place a supreme value on nourishing both our hearts and the hearts of one another with God’s Word.

*Sunday Service begins at 10am — all are welcome.*

Current sunday morning happenings

This Sunday, our service will be another blend of reflecting upon the life of Highland and taking another step through our Matthew-Series. We are nearing the end of the tenth chapter.

Last weeks’ service is available online through our audio page. Feel free to give it a listen. It’s a nice blend of the life of Highland. It includes most of David’s remarks, Carrie and me reflecting over the life of Highland, plus Carrie’s blessing over Highland!

It also includes the installment of our series through Matthew. How grateful I am that we, a band of sinners, in constant need of the Lord’s mercy, get to gather to glorify Him, supporting one another.

Our Text From Last Sunday

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Matthew 10:34-39).

Our Starting Text This Sunday

“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward” (Matthew 10:40-42).

Come, ready to eat October 19th.

A long time friend of Highland will be grilling for us October 19th. His name is Jim Money. He and some of his friends from Cross Pointe will be preparing and serving us, Highland, so we can concentrate on being together. Bring blankets and prepare to picnic along the front lawn, if it’s a nice day. Looking forward to celebrating with you the Lord’s abounding goodness.

book of REMEMBRANCE — 20 years

October marks twenty years of Highland Community Church’s existence. Originally a plant of Edgewood Baptist Church, we have seen the Lord establish His purposes in us. May we both continue to exist to know Christ as Lord, and to make Him known to those around us, throughout our days.

To commend this occasion, we invite you to complete an entry in our Book of Remembrance. By clicking here, you access our form, completing your entry. We hope to compile them, offering all a chance to see how the Lord is at work in our lives. We welcome your participation.

Roger Woodman Did So Much!

Roger Woodman has passed away. Roger and his wife, Cathy were devoted to the life of Highland Community Church for many years! They assisted in countless ways! They helped feed people who were hungry, get people to appointments and take care of the grounds of our church.

In the last few years, Roger has been in decline. James Sewell, who is part of his family, has been caring for Roger. James works for Truth Spring. He is also working out details for his passing. Keep an eye out for upcoming information, as it becomes available.

Highland cafe’

To those who continue to step up and show up to lead the Highland Cafe’ – thank you! To ‘open wide our doors with a welcome from Jesus Christ’ means we must be fortified to graciously host! The first ingredient to hosting is presence! So, to all who show up to love our neighbor in honor of our Lord, thank you!

So grateful for you, Highland.
