eBible Study
The eBible Study will be discontinued for the summer. We will resume in September.
Thanks to all of you who have commented and shared observations about this work.
I continue to believe that we are enabling more people to study the Scriptures.
Have a good summer .... see you in church!

STEPHEN MINISTRY
Highland is a Stephen Ministry congregation. Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.
A Stephen Minister is a congregation member with gifts for caregiving who was carefully selected to serve in this role. He or she must complete 50 hours of training in providing emotional and spiritual care as well as commit to supervision and continuing education throughout the term of his or her ministry. A Stephen Minister is a caring, Christian friend who listens, cares, prays, supports, and encourages. A Stephen Minister will "be there" for his or her care receiver, meeting faithfully for about an hour each week, as long as there is a need.
If you know of someone (even yourself) who might benefit from the care of a Stephen Minister, please contact the Pastor.

NURSING HOME MINISTRY AT FOREST HILL
In September, 2009, Highland launched a new outreach into the community by offering a worship service once a month for the residents and staff of Forest Hill Health and Rehabilitation Center. We use the Service of Midday Prayer from the Book of Common Worship to plan the service each month. The congregation at Highland has responded enthusiastically to a call for volunteers for this ministry, and each month we use different worship leaders. Anyone who is interested in being a part of this ministry is welcome to join us at 11 AM on the first Thursday of each month.
