Come for worship this Sunday at 10:30.
December 8th is the second Sunday of Advent, as we continue our adventure of prophetic hope in preparation for Christmas.

Highland welcomes all children of God!
Every Sunday is a special day for children at Highland.
Sunday School is at 9:30, and we think our 10:30 worship is very child-friendly. We have a a children's message during worship time, and almost all of our children and youth serve as acolytes or liturgists, or assist in worship in other ways. Activity bags for coloring and quiet play are also provided.
This year, our older children and youth received a Bible designed especially for youth: NRSV Student Bible & Guidebook.
Younger children received the Children of God Storybook Bible, with Bible stories retold by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, with multicultural illustrations from artists all over the world.
