How can I share my faith in everyday language? The Women's Bible Study begins a new study on January 6th entitled Holy Conversation: Talking about God in Everyday Life, written by Richard Peace and facilitated by Janet Baucom. We know we're called to share our faith, but we don't want to feel like salespeople or confrontational evangelists. Here's a 12-week study to help us figure out how to engage is easy and comfortable conversation about Jesus, how to share our faith with friends neighbors and colleagues. Join us Friday mornings 9:30 -
11:30 am in the Conference room as we practice putting faith into our own words this new year.  You can sign up or get more information by contacting Joanie Loftin by e-mail or 387-3403.

David Goehring will lead this excellent study Wednesday evenings 6:45 - 8:00 PM in room 210, focusing on Christian beliefs and doctrines of the Church.  Christian Believer assumes that most people--though faithful followers of Jesus they intend to be--know little of the content of the central teachings of the Christian faith and its ties to Scripture. But they want to know. They want to know what is at stake in what the church teaches and how it makes a difference in their own lives, what it means to be Christian, and where we as Christians stand.  Please sign-up through the church office by phone (919-787-4240) or e-mail.

Are you looking for a way to bless and serve others? If so, consider joining the Prayer Shawl Ministry.  Prayer Shawls are lovingly knitted or crocheted by members at Highland, prayed over, and distributed to individuals for a variety of reasons: for those undergoing medical procedures; as a comfort after a loss or in times of stress; during bereavement; prayer or meditation; commitment or marriage ceremonies; birthing, nursing a baby; bridal shower or wedding gift; leading ritual; first menses or croning rites of passage; during an illness and recovery; ministering to others; graduation, birthday, anniversary, ordination, holiday gifts; or just socializing...there are endless possibilities!

You don’t need to be an experienced knitter or crocheter to join. We have plenty of good teachers. Join us in the Parlor on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 10 AM.  If you can't join us, feel free to contribute work done at home, which we will pray over and see distributed to the ill, grieved, and those in need of prayerful embrace.

The Men’s Fellowship and Prayer Group meets every Tuesday Morning at 6:30am sharp in the Conference Room of Highland. The group has a morning devotion, shares prayers and concerns and adjourns promptly at 7:30am. It includes both church members and nonmembers of various age groups. Coffee is served and all are welcome, regardless of where you are in your spiritual journey. While very informal, simply bring a Bible and an eagerness to learn more about the Bible.
