Thank You, St. Andrews!

Carrie, the family and I had the privilege of attending St Andrew’s Missions Conference this weekend. We were given the chance to offer an update on the fruitful work the Lord continues to do in our midst.

St. Andrews, thank you for allowing us to be part! We felt like friends - both welcomed and wanted. It was a time of refreshing for us and exciting to hear all that is happening to make known the love of Christ to an ailing world.

Highland leadership, it would not even be possible for us to attend events like this one without you. Thank you for leading the Highland Tribe with devotion and compassion.

So grateful.

Reflecting on God's Love This Morning

Reading from my favorite author this morning - Oswald Chambers. He speaks about God’s love. He says:

When I am rightly related to God, the more I love the more blessing does He pour out on other lives. The reward of love is the capacity to pour out more love all the time, hoping for nothing in return. That is the essential nature of perfect love.
— Oswald Chambers - from "God's Workmanship"

Lord,

May your perfecting love be continually poured into us, your Highland tribe, that it may overflow into our streets. Lord, anyone who encounters us, allow them to taste of your goodness, your unfailing love, drawing them to your son, Jesus, who saves sinners.

Calvary’s Baseball Team Came to Highland!

Calvary’s Baseball team came our way today to do a service-project. They were able to work with our Truth Spring students and clean up lots that will serve as future Truth Spring homes.

They also cleaned our church facilities! Such a blessing having them our way - by the way, Noah was part of this group! Wow! When Carrie and I did our presentation for Highland and Truth Spring, our son was in the audience.

So crazy!

I love you, Highland,

Rob

St. Andrew's Missions Conference This Weekend.

Highland Family,

Carrie and I will be attending St Andrew’s Missions Conference this weekend. We will have the chance to speak to St Andrews, offering them an update regarding our church and Truth Spring.

Since our family will be attending service at St. Andrews this Sunday, Billy Holbrook will be leading worship and Justin Jordan will be preaching. Knowing I can be away and that the church is in such strong, capable hands means so much to me!! Thanks, Billy, Justin, all who lead so well. Grateful to serve Jesus at your side.

I love you,

Rob

Holding to Our Post II

Highland,

We continue to walk through this passage today:

Wisdom calls out in the street;
she raises her voice in the public squares.
She cries out above the commotion;
she speaks at the entrance of the city gates:
“How long, foolish ones, will you love ignorance?
How long will you mockers enjoy mocking
and you fools hate knowledge?
If you respond to my warning,
then I will pour out my spirit on you
and teach you my words.
— Proverbs 1:20-23

Join us in a corporate declaration our Lord’s worth and wisdom.

I love you,

Rob


Pillow Party is Packed With Love!

Our Monthly Pillow Party involves getting together to learn a craft or skill and to learn God’s Word! Jim and Joellen Holbrook lead the charge and do a great job facilitating this enriching ministry.

Joellen said: “The ladies made Portable War Rooms and we learned about Eating God's Word and not going without it. Their assignment this month was to read about George Mueller and read a Proverb every day. It was an amazing day!! Their question today was, "After watching the movie, War Room, how did it change the way they thought about prayer." For me the best part of the day was hearing every lady answer that question and express how and where they pray now. It was powerful Len McWilliams taught the men about God’s Word and then how to make coatracks out of various items."
