Fall Musings

9/21/2018

0 Comments

 
Last June, our Senior Youth Group took a mission trip to a little town called Glendora. We played with the local children, ran their after-school program, built a house and dug a foundation. But there was so much more. The twenty-six youth from our youth group are amazing young people-caring, hard working, flexible. Please come and hear their stories. 
 
On Saturday, September 29th, local musicians celebrate fall by hosting their first Porchfest. Our Praise Band will play on one of the porches!
 
Behind the scenes at the Highlands are many teams doing the ministries of the church. When you participate in a team you are doubly blessed. You do the work of the church and you meet and work with amazing people. You are invited to join any of the teams below. Please let Rev. Beth know if you have questions. 
 
Sunday School Team-meets September 28th at 11:30 A.M. Teachers, volunteers and staff plan and prepare for the coming month. 
 
Service and Outreach Team-meets October 3rd at 7:30 P.M. to explore "Service Saturday" and upcoming service and outreach ministries.
 
Membership and Growth Team-meets October 17th at 7 P.M. to check in on coffee hour and other welcoming ministries and to consider a dinner or social event for this winter. 
 
Building and Grounds Team-next meeting TBD. Sometimes they are just too busy to meet and this was a busy summer for this team. They painted the sanctuary, removed some trees but still have some painting and landscaping for this fall. Could you help?
 
Finance Team Team-next meeting TBD. Are you good with numbers and budgets? Join this team.
