Consecration Sunday and Thanksgiving

We were delighted to welcome four new members to Highlands UMC last week. If you are interested in joining, being baptized, or having your child baptized, please contact the church office and ask to speak to a pastor, or come by on Sunday morning to experience our growing intergenerational Christian community for yourself!

This Sunday, November 16, we will consecrate our commitments to the church in the form of pledging our financial giving and the ways we serve. Stewardship is not only about money, but it is a question of how we care for, use, and honor all the gifts and resources available to us. When we believe that all good gifts come from God, it makes sense to offer up a portion of those gifts toward the building of God's kin'dom.

Next week, November 23, we celebrate a time of Thanksgiving in preparation for the national holiday. Bring your own thankfulness or borrow someone else's!
