Life Giving Sunday is May 5. We have two Life-Giving Sundays per year. Our annual goal is $534,068 ($428,068 outreach, plus $104,000 weekly). Our May 5th spring outreach goal is $250,000, which goes to support our missionaries and outreach partners. We will raise the balance in the fall during the second Life-Giving Sunday.

Memorize these passages with us this year!

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:4-7

Highland would like to bless teachers who work at our adopted schools, LaRose and Macon-Hall Elementary, during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6th-10th). We would greatly appreciate gift cards of around $20 to such places as Chick Fil A, Panera, Popeyes, Baskin Robbins, Target, Chili's, Olive Garden, or anywhere you think teachers would appreciate. There will be a basket at the Go Center beginning this Sunday, going through the month of April, where you can drop them off. Thank you for the wonderful support you always give to our adopted schools.

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.

Do you consider giving to church a burden or a privilege? Paul described a group of believers who considered it a privilege. “For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people.” 2 Cor 8:3-4 They knew it was a privilege to be able to give to the Lord’s work. The same faith and mindset toward giving that propelled the church forward then continues to propel us forward today.
