Merry Christmas! We wish you and your family a season filled with joy, peace, and the love of Christ. May His light shine brightly in your hearts as we celebrate the gift of our Savior. Thank you for being part of our church family, we pray blessings to you this Christmas and always! 

Highlands Christmas Party! On Wednesday, December 18th, we will celebrate the Christmas season with an evening of food, fellowship, and games. If you would like, bring your favorite dessert & a gift to re-gift! Don’t feel obligated to purchase something. Just bring something nice, or funny, from home that you no longer use valued at $15 or less! Families will eat together in the Cafe at 6:00, instead of 5:00, and then our Highland’s Kids will enjoy their festivities in HK2 at 6:30 while everyone else enjoys the evening in the Cafe. The church will provide chicken and dumplings, ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls.

Highland’s Christmas Service will be on Sunday, December 22nd. Make plans to attend. You will not want to miss the special music, message, and resounding joy of celebration!
