The Shelby’s Dinner Table
Have a Joyous Thanksgiving
“If we do not slow down from the all the business of life we are truly going to miss the sacredness of family.” — Madison Shelby
I hope we take note of Madison’s charge to us all during last Sunday’s service — let us cherish the sacredness of family this Thanksgiving. We have so much for which to be thankful. Highland fam, may we cease from our striving and relish in the joy of being together. Let us rejoice over the feasts that reveal the Lord’s goodness and provision to us this Thanksgiving.

Sunday Mornings at 9am
As Coffee & Conversation starts Sundays off with us having the chance to walk through life together, I want to invite you to be part of the journey through life, over a warm cup of coffee. We worship our Lord together, serve together, pray together and study together. All are welcome.
Robert Singleton continues to lead our men. Join him, along with those who attend, and let’s grow together, men. Each Sunday morning, 9am, you can be part of our Men’s Study. It’s held in our education-building.
Sunday Mornings at 10am
Our church service (we call services “Firehouse Gatherings”) are held each Sunday morning in the Firehouse (3402 6th Ave). All are welcome to attend. As you join us this Sunday, we will continue through our series: “Drawing From Daniel.” I will be preaching through the latter half of chapter four, tagging along with Joseph’s points from our service two weeks ago.

Upcoming December Events
Highland’s Annual Christmas Carnival
Date: Christmas Carnival, Friday, December 8th, 3pm-5pm
Location: Firehouse: 3402 6th Ave Columbus, GA 31904
Our annual Christmas Carnival serves to keep Christ at the center of Christmas. All children who attend will receive a present and get to hear about the birth of Christ. Inflatables and carnival-style food and games will be offered. Volunteers are needed to assist with the facilitation of these events. We need manpower to assist with crowd control, fostering safe use of the inflatables and cleaning up at the end of the event. Sign Up Genius to be issued soon.
Cassia’s calling things to order.
Boxes of Love
Date: December 16th, 2023
Location: 3402 6th Ave Columbus, GA 31904
Highland fam, as we are moving toward Christmas, one practical thing you could do is buy a bottle of dish soap for Boxes of Love. Please bring it with you to service on Sundays, as we will store it there. With Boxes of Love, we allow folks to sign up and offer a Box of Love to someone in their lives to bless them this Christmas Season. Thanks for your support!
Our annual Boxes of Love allows families of Highland Community Church to give to those in need. At 9am, we will need assistance prepping the boxes, packing the boxes, and delivering them to the homes of the recipients. Those who are willing to help transport the boxes should be prepared to start delivering at 11 am. We will also need volunteers to help clean up, thanks.
If you’re reading the email, see the original post to sign up.

Highland, our plan to make our house a home is called: Filling the Rooms. Now that we’ve gone over the plan, let’s carry out the plan together. Please click on the link below and sign up to be part of filling the rooms. You can also ask questions or make recommendations, too.
I look forward to seeing you, Highland.
I love you,
