This Sunday, June 28, Pastor Kerry will preach on her experience of being called into ordained ministry, "Let Your Life Speak" (taken from the title of a book by Parker Palmer). Following worship, all are invited to stay for a potluck dinner to celebrate Pastor Kerry's ordination as a Deacon, which took place last Saturday in the New England Annual Conference.

Summer Movie Sermon Series Begins!
This Sunday, June 14, Pastor Betty will preach on The Bucket List in the first of our summer movie sermon series. You are encouraged to see the movie ahead of time if you can, but if not, the sermon will still make sense.
In case you want to line up your library hold or Netflix cue now, some of the other movies planned for this summer include The Secret Life of Bees, The Visitor, and Snow Cake. We are spreading the series out over the summer, so stay tuned for details!
The Highlands Street Fair is coming up, and this year our booth will focus on our children's programs: Parents' Day Out and Vacation Bible School.
On Sunday, June 21, we will have Rev. Heidi McGinness as our guest preacher while Pastor Betty and Pastor Kerry are at New England Annual Conference for Pastor Kerry's ordination. Pastor Heidi has come to Highlands previously to share about her work bringing aid to displaced people in the Darfur region of Sudan.
Hope to see you at Highlands UMC sometime soon!

Garden Workday Postponed
The work day for this Saturday, June 6 has been canceled. The flower beds have already been cleaned out. Also, Kay and Bob Upton are mixing compost into our community garden and planting our beginning plants. The raised beds that will on the south side of the church will be built after the windows are painted. The second phase of the Sacred Surroundings grant will begin soon. The outside of the windows will be scraped and painted.
After the cleaning out of the beds, the church garden could use low in height, blooming annuals and perennials to fill in the empty spaces. If you have some in your garden or wish to purchase flowers, please bring them to the church and we will make sure they get planted. If you're interested in helping with the raised beds or maintaining the garden, please let us know!
