Companions in Christ is a powerfully transforming small-group experience that builds spiritual practices within congregations. During this study, we will explore classic spiritual practices, including Bible study, journaling, and prayer that will help us develop daily patterns that open our lives to a deepening relationship with God and one another.  Pastor Heather will lead this 28-week study in the Parlor beginning on September 15, meeting each Tuesday at 7 PM.  Interested? Please sign up at the Reception Desk or e-mail Heather.

Are you looking for a way to bless and serve others? If so, consider joining the Prayer Shawl Ministry. You don’t need to be an experienced knitter or crocheter to join. We have plenty of good teachers. Each month, there are four opportunities to meet and fellowship. Beginning in September, we will meet on 1st and 3rd Wednesday evenings at 6:45pm following Cross Training and 1st and 3rd Thursday mornings at 10am Questions? Contact Heather Lear.

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.

Each fall, Highland is pleased to host Biblical scholar, retired Duke Divinity School professor, and much-beloved teacher Dr. James "Mickey" Efird.  Dr. Efird typically offers a four week study, each year covering a different book(s) of the Bible.  Look for details beginning in September.  In addition, as a renowned teacher, Dr. Efird has helped to produce study guides and resources based on his classes for lay people, some of which are available in Highland's Mary Smith Memorial Library.

All women of the church are invited to join Heather Lear for a study on Monday mornings at 9:30am. We will be studying Richard Foster’s Celebration of Discipline
Our intro session will be at 9:30am on Monday, September 20. Childcare will be provided. Please let Heather know if you need care ahead of time, though, so Anita can plan accordingly.
