Cultivating life and the glory of jesus
Looking back to last Sunday, Highland, thank you for opening the door through your testimonies for my son, Noah, to be able to share how the Lord is at work in his life right now. Carrie nor I had any idea he was going to share with us his testimony; needless to say, we were moved beyond words. Thank you for continuing to pray for him and love us, Highland. As he mentioned, our family has been through so much over the last year and you’ve loved us so well. Because of the power of God’s love, we hold on to a hope that does not disappoint! In light of His love, let us continue to endure, pressing on through every season together, Highland!
Highland, as Truth Spring Academy and Truth Spring Trade School wrap up another school year, thank you for your support! Allowing us to continue to utilize the facilities and your continued prayers for us at Truth Spring provide us the chance to thrive – thank you!
Truth Spring Trade School’s graduation is this next Monday, May 22nd, at 1pm, in the Firehouse. If you would like to attend, you are invited! We would love to see you there!
offering a helping hand
As the Truth Spring Trade School’s construction project is wrapping up, we want to invite you all to help us do a deep–clean at the newly renovated homes. Patti Clark,one of our own members, will be moving into these homes. In addition to the deep clean, let’s stock her pantry as a housewarming gift. If you are interested in helping with the deep–clean, please talk with Megan or Carrie. Let’s plan to deliver the items for our Stock-The-Pantry to her new home June 2nd.
Thank you to all of our leaders!
Our Women’s 8 Week Bible Study through 1st John concluded last evening at 6:30pm. Thank you to all of our leaders! I appreciate your dedication to facilitating and seeing the study through. I hope everyone benefited from this time opening God’s Word together.

PLANS FOR SUNDAY MORNING
Come grab a cup of coffee this Sunday morning at 9am at the Firehouse during Coffee & Conversation. Following that good cup of coffee, join us for our 10am Firehouse Gathering (our church service) to gather in order to celebrate with us the good news that Jesus saves sinners.
Robert continues to lead our Men’s Bible Study each Sunday morning, at 9am, in the educational wing of our facility. All men are welcome to attend and engage the discussion about God’s Word. Such a great group of men make up this study! Never too late to join.
come to celebrate what jesus has done for us
During our Firehouse Gathering this Sunday, we will be looking at the ‘fruits of a compassionate heart,’ which is found in Colossians 3:12–17:
“Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Colossians 3:12-17, ESV).
To make this magnificent move and maintain our harmony, these qualities must define us, no matter what changes we may face. For these fruits foster harmony and also, as Paul points out, paves the road to reconciliation when we hit the bumps. If we conduct ourselves according to these qualities, we can endure anything, as the Spirit of God has command of us. I look forward to walking carefully through this text together.
