lent guideA Lenten guide with daily devotional reflections will be available for our church family to use during the season of Lent.

Kudos to the Cooks 

 

The reception Sunday for Jim and Sonja Dant was a big success.  The great room was full to overflowing with well wishers.  The room was tastefully decorated, the food was attractively and conveniently displayed, and the circulation patterns were highly effective.  Empty plates and cups were quickly collected by smiling youth.  Every delicacy was delicious and the trays kept being magically replenished as the hungry crowd fellowshipped and expressed their love and good wishes to the Dants.  Two weeks of planning and four straight days of work at the church helped make the whole occasion appear to come off effortlessly.  Our heartfelt thanks go out to the ladies and youth who served us all so well.   

 

Children's Pancake Supper

Shrove Tuesday, February 21    

 

pancakesWe're flipping over pancakes and learning about Lent, too! Children and older 

preschoolers are invited to drop in for pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, February 21 from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. at the DuCharme's home to celebrate the beginning of the Lenten season.

 

We will enjoy sharing this time together as we eat pancakes and participate in fun, Lenten activities. You can sign up for this event in the children's area or by calling the church office.

February Taize Service 

Tuesday, February 21 at 7:00 p.m.  

 

candleYou are invited to join the Highland Hills family for a time of peaceful worship focused on the unconditional love of God. The worship services, which are held on the third Tuesday of each month, provide a restful, meditative time designed to give participants a quiet break from the busyness of life.    The next Taize service will be held on Tuesday, February 21 at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel. Come and experience the peace that can be found by resting in God's presence.
