The cutest Sunday of the year!

The Highlands Kids Christmas Program will be performed at all three services on December 22nd! Don’t miss hearing and seeing the “greatest story ever told” by our Highlands kids.

Join us for *free* breakfast and fellowship! Get connected with other men in our church and learn about our next upcoming book study: "Counterfeit Gods" by Tim Keller.

Please RSVP to help us plan for food.

You're invited to join us as we gather for prayer on Sunday December 1st at 6 pm. The value of corporate prayer lies in its power to unify hearts. Where there is prayer, there is unity, which Jesus so fervently prayer for His followers to have (John 17:23). More than anything else, prayer can bring about change. When you pray with and for one another, you have the ability to witness God's miraculous power, healing and transformation.

Childcare provided.

We hope you see you there!

Want to grow closer to God? Want breakthrough in your marriage, parenting or your finances in 2024? Want to grow stronger in self-discipline? Fasting is a process of abstaining from something for the purpose of worship, prayer, and self-discipline. Whether fasting from social media, caffeine, or food - you will experience the favor of God as you replace something for more intentional time with God.

During this 21 Day Fast, you will be part of (2) IN PERSON meetings at The Highlands:

Sunday, Jan. 5 (7-8 pm) - introduction to the fast
Sunday, Jan. 26 (6-7pm) - celebration of what God did during the fast.

These meetings are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED as they act as accountability and are informative to what fasting is all about. Along with the meetings, you will also receive encouragement & accountability with regular emails sent by the Lindstroms. 

Ideas on what to fast FROM: social media, caffeine, coffee, desserts, tv/movies, Netflix, Youtube, sports Apps, meat, certain foods, the news, etc.

Ideas on what to fast FOR: breakthrough in your marriage, wisdom in parenting, growing your family/fertility, your job (promotion, understanding co-workers, relocation), understanding God's will for your life, the political leaders of our country, growing closer to God, etc.

Wednesday Mornings

• January 22 - May 7

• 9-11am

• No Meetings: Feb 19 • Mar 5 • Mar 19 • Apr 16

Join us for 12 weeks to Study the book of Revelation.

Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. Revelation shouldn't leave us fearful or confused, but its imagery and concepts often confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible.

Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps you discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God's great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.

**LIMITED CHILDCARE SPOTS AVAILABLE. Early Childhood ages only (birth - age 5/preschool).

EVERY THURSDAY

JAN 23 - APR 17

Moms in Step is a weekly gathering for women of all ages focusing on spiritual, emotional, and physical renewal. You will have the opportunity to connect with other moms and study in a small group. The group is a great way to connect with new and old friends while connecting with God through His Word. Childcare drop off begins at 8:50 am. From there, we have Refresh Time: participate in an instructor-led exercise session, chat with friends, quiet time, pray with a friend or mentor, or walk with your group! This is your time to refresh! From there, we move into our small groups where we will connect with each other by discussing our reading for the week. This is all done while your children are cared for by loving adults in our childrens rooms.

This spring study is Come and See: A study on the Gospel of John: Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:30-31

What does it look like to live an abundant life? We live in a world that tries to convince us that life can be found in temporary pleasures. However, in the pages of the Gospel of John, we are invited to “come and see” and to believe in the only source of true life: Jesus Christ

JOIN US!
