“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith” (Galatians 3:13—14, ESV).
EASTER TESTIMONIES
Deadline Extended
Easter Testimonies start this week. As they are shared, we get to celebrate how the Lord is working throughout the life of our church! I also want to invite you to engage and let us celebrate how Christ is at work in your life. Please plan to write your testimony and get it to Kimberly, Justin or Rob. You can also email by clicking here. Make sure you include your full name, phone number, and whether you would prefer to personally share from the stage on a Sunday morning, or would rather someone else read your testimony for you.
WOMEN’s BIBLE Study
Our Women’s 8 Week Bible Study pauses this Thursday due to it being Spring Break. The study will resume next Thursday, at 6:30pm, in the sanctuary.
CHICKEN & RICE THIS SATURDAY, 10am
Our Chicken & Rice team continues to offer meals to those who are hungry. Hearty meals are prepared and offered to our neighbors Saturdays, at 10am. All volunteers are welcome!
PLANS FOR SUNDAY MORNING
Sunday mornings, at 9am, Coffee & Conversation takes place in the Firehouse. This time together affords us the most essential ingredients for building relationships – time and togetherness. We also worship together and spend time in God’s Word, as Jo Ellen Holbrook offers us a devotion.
Robert continues to lead our Men’s Bible Study each Sunday morning, at 9am. He continues to steadily offer our men the chance to walk according to God’s Word. He is in the education-building of our church site. All men are welcome to attend.
Our church service (Firehouse Gathering) will be held at 10am. Kids’ Sunday will take place this Sunday, Easter Sunday. The kids will be able to participate in an egg-hunt. I appreciate you all who love our kiddos so well! Team, thank you for affording this opportunity to them!
This Sunday, our time together will highlight the glory of Christ through looking at: The Cost of the Cross & The Reward of the Resurrection. As we gather, we will, together, exalt the name of Jesus! Let us lift up His name higher than all of our circumstances, rejoicing over all He has done for us. As the author of Hebrews directs us, let us gather, so that: “Through Him {we} continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God” (Hebrews 13:15–16).
Childcare Available, Ages 0-4
Childcare will be offered during our Firehouse 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.
Family Matters
“May we believe that Jesus is the Christ, and believing may we have life through his name” (Matthew Henry).
Highland, we have a neighbor and friend of our church who is in need of two twin mattresses and beds for two children due to unexpected family matters. If you are able to assist, please contact Megan or Rob.
Highland, let’s continue to reach out and check on Randall. He remains in Savannah Grand, room 211. You may reach out to him by calling that facility (Savannah Grand), asking to be connected to room 211. He is steadily improving, but has 6 more weeks of rehab to undergo before he can walk. Rallying around right now is vital to his well-being.
My dad came home Tuesday and seems to be in a very good place! I am so appreciative to all of you who’ve reached out to our family and have supported us throughout this time. Highland is family to us – we love and appreciate all of you.
Grateful for each of you,
Rob
