Happy Thanksgiving, Highland!

Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving a National Holiday in 1863.

Here is his proclamation:

“No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”

— Abraham Lincoln



Highland family, let us gratefully acknowledge one another as with one heart this Thanksgiving. I am grateful to have each of you in my life.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Rob

No Sermon Today.

No sermon was recorded because we held Children’s Dedication service today.

Children's Dedication Service Today

Highland family, today we will hold our Child Dedication Service. I consider it a joy to gather and hone in on the lives of our children, as we tell them of the mighty works of our Lord. This will take place during our 11am service and our entire service will be centered on the children. We will also dismiss at noon and there will be no Children’s classes today. We will remain together.

I love you. Looking forward to being with you.

Rob

Today's Service.

*Audio files will be available for 30 days. To keep, download file. Also, the Communal Prayer segment of our service and sermon are in the same audio file this week.

Reflection Questions from our Communion Service:

1. Is my soul’s one desire to know Christ and the power of His resurrection?

2. If not, what is rivaling with that desire?

3. Does my life display a strength that is found in a quiet-confidence?

“My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection” (Phi 3:4-11).

“For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “You will be delivered by repenting and resting; your strength will lie in quiet confidence” (Isa 30:12-18).

It's the Most Wonderful Time of The Year!

Highland Family,

So great to be together today! Each opportunity we have to gather and worship our Lord is so precious to me - even more so as the years go by, too.

I wanted to remind you about upcoming events I mentioned this morning for this Christmas Season. Click the box below to sign up to assist during these opportunities to impart the love of Christ to so many!

Also, thanks to those who are binging in bottles of dish soap for our Boxes of Love collection! Let’s continue with our effort. Finally, do not forget that you can begin signing up folks to receive a Box of Love next Monday. You can email Megan or call the church.

Highland, I love to see us work together. I am grateful for all that you do to love one another, in honor of our Lord.

Have a great week.

One mind, one voice,

Rob

Discussing Paul's Goal Today.

“My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead.”

— Philippians 3:10-11

Highland, cannot wait to see you today.

I love you,

Rob

Our freedom costs so many so much! We are grateful to all who have served and sacrificed for liberties that we enjoy, as Americans.
