Chapel Class - "Intersections of Faith and Work in the Life of a Public School History Teacher" with John Frizzell

"In my work, and perhaps in yours, there are many restrictions on what I can and cannot say and rules that guide how I live a life of faith as a teacher in a public school classroom. Join us and listen in on the struggles of teaching and how I believe my work has been teaching gospels truths in school for the past seven years."

Women's Class - “Discerning the Voice of God: How to Recognize when God is Speaking" by Priscilla Shirer in A-129

Men's Class - A Study of 1-3 John

We will do a chapter a week until the end of summer. Join us in room A-104.

We would love for every Highland college student to invest some time being discipled this summer. You will be partnered (probably in small groups) with an adult Highland disciple-maker for 5-6 meetings this summer, over coffee or a meal, and the Bible. We also need to know if mornings, lunch, or evenings are best for you. Contact Christy.cobb@highlandcc.org or eric.gentry@highlandcc.org if you want to be included.

Harding School of Theology will have their Farewell Chapel in Memphis on Thursday, June 13, 2024 from 11-11:30AM. All supporters, alumni, and friends of HST are welcome! Leon Sanderson will lead us in a time of worship through song.

We express our sympathy to Mike Howell and family in the recent death of Mike’s father, Dale Howell. Funeral services were last Thursday in Amory, MS.

Serving through church gives us a way to belong and meet new people. We’ve got many openings available to fit your gifts and passions, whether it might be serving the Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, singing on the Praise Team, serving in our Special Needs Ministry, Media Team, and many others.

Matthew 6:19-20 says, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.” Jesus reminds us to treasure and pursue eternal things. But how? We do it by prioritizing our relationship with Jesus, making Him our main thing. Live by faith. Share your faith. Disciple your children. Disciple a young person. Invest in relationships. Attend worship. Give your time, talents, and money to support the works of the church. Those things are eternal. We all love lots of things, so let’s make sure the things we love the most are the things that last.
