WE ARE GOING THROUGH 1ST JOHN TOGETHER
Highland, this Firehouse Gathering Season is enjoyable for me! I am LOVING the chance to gather and go through 1st John together! My heart, as Justin would put it, is being saturated with the refreshing water of God’s Word, as I prepare these sermons.
This Sunday, we will be in 1st John 1:5-10. Though we have never walked through 1st John together, as a church, this passage has really tuned my heart as to how to care for people who walk through this dark world. “ Walk in the light” is an encouragement that I often offer those upon our sidewalks to navigate through the darkness of this world. I look forward to preaching through this passage that holds that directive. See you Sunday!
Our Passage to Recite and Memorize for This Series
“And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.” (1 John 3:23-23, ESV).
HOUSEKEEPING MATTERS
BOL collection: Dishsoap. Bring to the firehouse. To those who’ve brought in some, thank you!
Great job cleaning up last Sunday! Let us all continue to make an effort to clean up the trash in the firehouse and around the grounds of the firehouse, too, after service.
Let’s stick to our Bible Reading Plan — Keep going, Highland! Be ready to connect with Justin.
CHICKEN & RICE THIS SATURDAY
Chicken & Rice is happening this Saturday! This ministry seeks to love and care for our neighbor each Saturday, in honor of our Lord! Thank you to all who are part of feeding the hungry each week! Volunteers are welcome!
SUNDAY’S COFFEE & CONVERSATION DEVOTION, 9am
When you arrive for the 10am service, we will have one of the garage doors closed so that those who are part of the morning devotion can be better served. If you are visiting with others who are also arriving and carrying on conversation, please remain outside, underneath the tent, until the close of the devotion. Of course, feel free to enter if you prefer to listen. We hope to have restrooms available in the firehouse this Sunday. If not, we will have restrooms available on our actual church-site. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding.
MEN’S BIBLE STUDY, SUNDAYS , 9am
Each Sunday morning, Robert Singleton is leading a Men’s Bible Study. It starts at 9am and all men are welcome. The focus of the class is on Biblical application and serves a meaningful time to connect with others. It is held in the children’s wing of our church.
SUNDAY’S 10AM SERVICE AT THE FIREHOUSE
Sunday morning services will be held in the firehouse. We will be continuing through 1st John together.
Childcare Available, Ages 0-4
Childcare will be offered during our Tent Gatherings for children, ages 0-4. Childcare will be held in the Truth Spring Trade School Daycare, located at 3303 5th Ave. It is the white house with white picket fence and 2 blue doors. We have a terrific team of volunteers comprised of people who attend Highland. Thank you, all, for caring for our children. Donna Findley is our Coordinator. She’s doing a great job! Thank you, Donna! Volunteers will be ready to receive 0-4 year-old aged-children by 9:50am.
KIDS’ SUNDAY THIS SUNDAY
Kids’ Sunday is happening this Sunday. Please drop off your children who are 5 and up at the original sanctuary to get checked in. During the service, children will either be in the classrooms off the deck for a Bible lesson or a craft. Outdoor games will be held in the Stricklands’ backyard as well. Furthermore, if you’re interested in helping with Kids’ Sundays, please talk to Julie Jordan, Katie Sturgeon or Carol Wright. As soon as service concludes, please make arrangements to pick up your children.
Highland, I rejoice over all the Lord is doing in our midst! All glory to You, Lord!
I am grateful for you.
I love you.
See you Sunday,
Rob
