Givers of Love!
This team of folks, who mean a great deal to me, gathered to help us ‘love our neighbors as ourselves’, in honor of our Lord. This Christmas season, the dawn of redeeming grace compels us to love, because we first encountered the unfailing love of Christ. To those who set up, shopped, organized, packed, loaded and delivered, thank you.
All glory to Him!
Thank you all,
Rob
Packaging our Love!
Highland and so many families around Columbus owe a debt of gratitude to Neptune Technology Group of Tallassee, AL. They aided us by donating boxes to us, which we’re using to “package love” to send to our neighbors this Christmas Season, during our annual Boxes of Love ministry.
This ministry enables those in our church the opportunity to give to their neighbors, in honor of Christ, who gave all of Himself to pay our debt of sin. All glory to Him, Jesus, Who is worthy.
Thanks, Brandon Lake, and Neptune!
Merry Christmas!

Highland,
I am geared up for Boxes of Love, which is tomorrow. Packing begins at 9am and pick up will start at noon. Please make sure you make arrangements to get your box from the church, tomorrow. Please note, that if we have had no contact with anyone responsible to pick up the Box of Love by 1pm tomorrow, then that box does become available to others in need.
Blessings and Love,
Rob

Communion Service This Sunday.
This Sunday is a first Sunday, which means that we will hold Communion. Julie Jordan will be assisting with the facilitation of our service.
We will also open chapter 4 of our series through the Book of Philippians. In these final statements, Paul, once again, blends an offering of encouragement with instruction to give to the Church of Philippi. We will examine how the encouragement and instruction he offers flows out of a singular desire from His heart - that being - to know the Lord and to make Him known. How does he go about making this desire known? ‘Just one thing - live in a manner worthy of the gospel…’
After encountering Christ as Lord, Paul’s life became his sermon. In chapter 4, we see that he was beyond allowing circumstances to become opportunities to write sermon points. Rather, Paul’s life “preached” Christ through whatever circumstances or conditions he encountered:
“I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content — whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me. Still, you did well by sharing with me in my hardship.”
Join us, as we start to wind down our series through Philippians, bringing our attention to: ‘just one thing - living a life worthy of the gospel of Christ.’
I love you.
Rob
