Our Plans for September 26th & 27th & Carrie's Father.

Highland Fam,

Carrie’s father has been in the hospital battling COVID for some time now. As of last night, he is just beginning to show signs of getting better! We are rejoicing as the Lord is taking care of him. Please continue to pray for Andy Merritt, as he starts recovering; also, please pray for our family. The Lord has used this terrible experience to draw us closer to Him and to one another. I am asking that much fruit pours forth out of this season.

Chicken & Rice and our Tent Gathering are happening this weekend!

Each Saturday from 10:30am-1:00pm, we serve our streets a meal of Chicken & Rice, along with the Gospel. Volunteers are welcome to join us.  Chicken & Rice Ministries is our flagship work. It serves as the invitation to all in our streets to come and know Christ. If you would like to come and serve, please contact us.

This Sunday, I look forward to seeing everyone at the Tent Gathering. As we gather this Sunday for our Tent Gathering, I wanted to go over the schedule with you. This Sunday, our schedule is as follows:

  • 9am-10am: Coffee and Conversation. As you arrive, grab a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Enjoy having conversation with one another and the chance to be together. Also, if you’re willing, some will be setting up for the 10 am service. We welcome your help, if you’re able.

  • 10am-11am: Tent Gathering Service. At 10am, bring your camping chairs or blankets to make for yourself a place outside, underneath our tent. We will gather to worship as we set our eyes upon Jesus. Highland, I ask that we would be in prayer for the name of Jesus to be exalted in our corporate gathering; that those who wander, or are deceived throughout our streets, would hear that Jesus saves, and repent! We will conclude and dismiss following this service. So, breakfast will be offered but not lunch.

We are strongly encouraging social distancing and masks will be available for those who would feel most comfortable wearing one. If you have a mask, please bring one for yourself to use.  We ask that you stay home when you are sick. We also ask that you cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Also, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Finally, keeping your hands clean using sanitizer or by washing them with soap is vital. If you have a personal bottle of sanitizer, bring it and keep it on you for your personal use throughout gatherings.

OTHER RELATED INFO

  • Van route riding requirements: windows down, masks worn and no more than 10 on a van.

  • Wednesday night studies, Pillow Party and prayer sessions have been cancelled for the month of September.

  • Children’s Ministries, Life Class & Breakfast will not resume until a later date.

*All proposed plans remain contingent upon medical information available to us throughout the foreseeable future. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us. I rejoice over you, Highland. I love forward to being with you Sunday.

I look forward to seeing you.

I love you,

Rob

Tent Gathering: Compassion

Highland Family,

Here is our latest Tent Gathering, themed: “Compassion.” To those of you were able to join us, it was great seeing you; to those of you who were unable to join us, know that you were missed. If you need anything, we remain here for you, both in support and love.

Below, you will find our passages and the audio recording of our service. Communal Prayer and the Sermon are what make up the recording. I hope that you are strengthened and encouraged through God’s Word as you check it out.

TODAY’S PASSAGE

“David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba. They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” “At your service,” he replied. The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?” Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet.” “Where is he?” the king asked. Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.” So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel. When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor. David said, “Mephibosheth!” “At your service,” he replied. “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table. ” Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?” Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.) Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons. Mephibosheth had a young son named Mika, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth. And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet” (2 Samuel 9:1-12, NIV).

Walk in the Light,

Rob

“May the Lord direct your hearts to God’s love and Christ’s endurance” (2 Thessalonians 3:5, HCSB).




Jim Holbrook Plays a Highland Standard.

“Walk with Me” played by Jim Holbrook

““Righteousness and justice are the foundation
of Your throne; faithful love and truth go before You.
Happy are the people who know the joyful shout;
Yahweh, they walk in the light of Your presence.””
— Psalm 89:15, HCSB

Our very own Jim Holbrook has been doing music with Jesse Shelby. Jim has been recording songs that have played a big part in his life and Jesse has been capturing them in the recording studio! This spiritual, ‘Walk with Me” has been part of our Highland Family for the better part of 10 years. “Walk with Me” is nothing more than an earnest prayer request for the Lord to walk alongside us throughout our days. Jim takes this common heart cry and plays it with heart on the guitar.
