Congratulations, Graduates!
Truth Spring Trade School’s graduation was brimming with hope! To experience hope in the name of Jesus in the middle of streets that often feel hopeless was a slice of heaven! I was so grateful that so many of you were able to join us. A special shoutout to Sandra Smith and Donny Faulkner, who graduated!
Truth Spring Trade School is also accepting applications for the upcoming class set to begin in August. If you are interested in learning more or scheduling an application appointment, please speak with Carrie or Megan or call the church.
NO MEMBER GATHERING THIS WEEK. As the school year wraps up both at Truth Spring and around the city, we will take this month off from our Member Gathering.
On June 2nd, we are asking you to help stock Patti Clark’s pantry, as she’s moving into one of the renovated homes on 6th avenue. Please prepare to drop an item by that day, to offer her a housewarming gift, from us!
Shout to Truth Spring Trade School’s Construction Team and North Highland Assembly of God for renovating these homes. Finally, these houses would not be complete without Justin Jordan’s leadership. He helped to oversee these projects and he brought it home! He managed with class and with strength! Thanks, Justin!
CHICKEN & RICE THIS SATURDAY, 10am
Chicken and Rice will carry the love of Christ into our streets once again this Saturday. Anyone who wants to jump in and help this wonderful team of folks would be welcome! The action starts at 10am. Thanks to those who make Chicken & Rice happen!
PLANS FOR SUNDAY MORNING
Coffee’s being served at the Firehouse this Sunday, 9am! Come grab a cup and a breakfast sandwich as we spend time together worshiping and sharing life together. Also, 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.
Our Firehouse Gathering (church service) will be held at 10am, in the Firehouse. This Sunday, be prepared for members of our Prayer Gathering to tell us about an experience that the Lord allowed them to have last Wednesday.
Since we did not unpack this passage last Sunday, we will be looking at the fruits of a compassionate heart this Sunday, 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).
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.
