communion & Agape Feast this sunday
Highland,
This Sunday, we observe the Lord’s Supper. Our 10am service will center around examining our hearts in a spirit of repentance, while rejoicing over what Jesus has done for us, exalting His name, as Redeemer!
As we complete our service, we will then transition into our Agape Feast. As presented last Sunday, this meal is one in which we want the entire church to take part. The invitation serves to deepen our love for one another, resulting in strengthening the fibers of our Highland-Family. This recap of the meaning of the word, Agape, I hope refreshes our hearts and minds:
Meaning of Agape
This is the most common word used for love in the New Testament.
It is a love not motivated by feeling but rather by choice.
It is unconditional in nature (to include those who would be considered despised, unlovely, excluded or an enemy).
In the plural form it means “Feasts of Love”, a public banquet started by the early church and connected with the celebration of the Lord’s Supper/communion. They were intended to be an exhibition of the unconditional love that is required and exists within the Christian faith.
Make plans to join us, please!
On a practical note, once Communion concludes, please ensure that you pick up your child(ren) from the nursery so that families can eat together during our Agape Feast. Also, we will allow those who ride our van to be served first, so that riders can eat, then the van route can start immediately after our riders finish their meal.
Thanks, Willow Point!
This Agape Feast meal will be provided by Willow Point Dental Office and how thrilled I am that they are willing to serve us. To all at Willow Point who are taking part in providing this Agape Feast, thank you! We are incredibly grateful to each of you.

Highland Cafe’ update
***We need people to come and pray with our visitors. To open wide our doors with a welcome from Jesus Christ. While Carol is faithful to facilitate, we need those who will offer others the love of Jesus, by ministering to those who visit our cafe’.
Each weekday, we open our cafe to those who want to stop by and grab a free cup of coffee. The hours will be 8:30am-11:30am. We need willing volunteers to come and greet our coffee drinkers. Take this opportunity to pray with those who enter, to spend time with one another over a warm cup of coffee.
Another way you could assist is to help us stay stocked with coffee supplies – things like K-cups, sugar, cups, spoons and cream. As the weather warms up, water bottles and snacks are great additions too! You can make a donation to “Neighborhood Missions” through our website or consider just bringing items by the church throughout week. Coffee goes a long way in expressing our love to our neighbors! Thanks for helping us care for our community!
