Jesus in the Wilderness
Come for worship this Sunday at 10:30.
March 9th is the first Sunday of Lent:
This is "wilderness" Sunday. It is a time to consider what we can do without and what we can't do without for forty days and forty nights.
March 16: "Nicodemus, Be Born Anew and Walk Humbly with God." On March 16, we also celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism for Piper and Baret Webb.

On March 5, we held our Ash Wednesday service by the fireside in the Burchfield House. Cozy, crackling fire, warm and intimate. Ashes from the fireplace placed on our foreheads. Smudgy crosses across our faces.
It's good news to know we are dust and we don't have to be God. It's good news to see that God does amazingly creative things with our dusty lives. It's good news to believe that God is always creating life from dust, whether we are on this side of the grave or the other.

Highland welcomes children of all ages!
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 the service, 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.
