Our Beloved Ms. Patti
Highland,
As we pursue Christ together, let us seek the good of each other. As we’ve experienced this week, we are not promised tomorrow. Therefore, we let us savor each and every moment we have with each other. Upholding the name of the Lord in our unity results in His glory and the good of those in and around our lives.
Over coffee (thanks, Justin!), someone pointed out to me that we must continue to “weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice” Highland, as we are all sharing in the life of Christ together, part of the richness of doing so is celebrating with those who accomplish and comforting those who are experiencing deep sorrow. May we continue to mature in this manner, Highland, together. This is one of the facets of going deeper that I hope we can continue to cultivate.
In light of this hope, to those who’ve rallied around Patti’s family in the wake of their shocking loss, thank you. Now’s the time they need us most. Let’s avail ourselves unto them, both in love and support. Let’s continue to be present and mindful of their grief, Highland. At this time, you can certainly be praying for Troy, Sara Catherine and his sister, Angela. They are working through so many decisions and, at the same time, weary. As they make decisions, we will certainly keep you posted as to any opportunity to remember Ms. Patti. Keep a check here, on this page.
Ms. Patti — photobombing! :)
North Highland Christmas Store
We are hosting our North Highland Christmas Store again this year. The purpose of The North Highland Christmas store is to allow our neighbors to come and shop for brand new toys at affordable prices.
If you are interested, you will have the chance to pick out toys for your children from our inventory. The store will be open Tuesday, December 17th - Thursday, December 19th. However, in order to shop, you must register. Please click here to sign up.
All monies collected from the Christmas store sales will be used to support Truth Spring Trade School, giving residents of the North Highland community the opportunity to access livable wage jobs. Thank you for your support!
christmas and the mess
Due to being tied up during service last Sunday, I failed to hit the record button. Therefore, I did not get David’s sermon recorded. This week, I will make every effort to hit the button!
David has been very understanding. We met this week over coffee (thanks for bringing the coffee, too, David – so good). He intends to do a thorough recap of last week’s sermon as he segways into this week’s sermon.
our SUNDAY MORNING SCHEDULE
8am: Doors open
8:30–10:00: Coffee & Conversation & Devotion in our Dining Facility
10am: Sunday Morning Service in our sanctuary (which is our gym).

What a Special Time Together!
Living Water Annual Celebration was epic!
Having the chance to be part of Living Water’s Annual Celebration was so reviving! Connecting with like-minded lovers of Christ all around the world, while sitting in my living room… – wow! Oh, to pray together; to reach out in the name of Christ to care for one another — so fulfilling! Highland, we will continue to journey alongside these pioneers who carry the name of Christ Jesus in their hearts into the remote places of this world. More to come in 2025.
Volunteering at this time would be most helpful.
