-Daylight Saving Time END this Sunday, Nov. 3rd! Adjust your clocks the night before so you can arrive at church on time! We look forward to worshiping with you!
-Church Wide Cleaning Day, THIS Sunday! As the saying goes, many hands make light work and in the Highlands’ tradition, we have fun while making a difference! Join us after church, lunch will be provided. Then we will all roll up our sleeves and split up a variety of tasks to care for our Father’s House…from deep cleaning, to cleaning out unneeded items, to painting. This will be a special time of service and fellowship!
-HK Change Collection for Operation Christmas Child, THIS Sunday! Your loose change can make a huge impact! Our Highlands Kids will be collecting change during service to benefit this worthwhile cause!
NEW! Thanksgiving Dressing Preparation Planning!- Our church is once again blessed to provide dressing for the community-wide Thanksgiving Dinner hosted at the Jamestown Methodist Church. This year we need to provide 35 pans. The cost is $12 per pan of frozen, pre-prepared stuffing. You simply need to bake the pan/pans of dressing you purchased the morning of Thanksgiving and deliver them to the Methodist church by 9 am. There is a sign-up sheet in the foyer. To pay for your dressing, label it “Thanksgiving dressing” and put your name on it. Once it’s labeled you can stick it in the wall box labeled “tithe-offering” in between the men’s bathroom and the security office.
Can’t help with dressing? Highlands Church volunteers will also be needed to cut pies the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving (we will not be having church service), and to deliver meals to any home-bound neighbors on Thanksgiving Day. If you wish to be involved, please sign up at the info table.
-OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD (O.C.C.): This project of Samaritan’s Purse makes a substantial impact on children’s lives all around the world. Highlands Church has upped its goal this year to fill 1,000 boxes with toys, clothing, games, and other needed items. If you would like to purchase a case of 50 boxes, you can do so for only $40! We need helping hands to assist Carol Watson as we approach packing day!
