Weekly Update
Strong Start Back-to-School Program got off to a strong start.
St. Andrews did a terrific job kicking off our back to school program for Truth Spring kids, and kids throughout the neighborhood. Nearly 40 kids attended and knocked the dust off their math skills, while learning about the Bible and enjoying game time. Good work, St. Andrews!

Community Testimony
Patti Clark is a member of our church and offered the students of Renew some Biblical wisdom as they're building their lives. Her testimony was infused with her personal experiences and the Word of God. We're so grateful for you, Patti! Great job today.

Taking our "safe lives" for granted can result in skewing our outlook on others because our "safe lives" appear to be produced solely by us. Safe lives are solely the result of the grace of God.
James Jordan, who works for Operation Hope and is a member of our church, spoke to the students of St. Andrews this morning, during Renew.
Great job, James. Opertation Hope is fortunate to have you on board.

Once we get back, we will be returning to our Sermon on the Mount Series. We will be transitioning into the final chapter, Matthew 7, as we talk about possessing an Enduring Submission. Can't Wait!
We love you.
Chaplain Jay Hearn joyously reminded us of God's unfailing love toward us through Christ Jesus. Favorite quote he borrowed: Through the shed blood of Jesus, we become God's "everlasting property." Praise God for securing His people through the sealing of the Holy Spirit. Check out his sermon on our "Sermon Page."
This Sunday, CrossPointe sends a team our way for Mission Meals. It just so happens that Jay Hearn, a member of CrossPointe, is coming along and he will be taking Highland's pulpit. I am delighted to have him! Additionally, he serves as the Chaplain for MercyMed and I have had the chance to get to know him, as Highland and MercyMed share a tightly-knit partnership. His sincere way and strong grip on God's Word are two of his many qualities that I really appreciate about him. Highland-tribe, come ready to welcome CrossPointe and Mr. Jay Hearn.
