HERE IS HIGHLAND’S SUNDAY SCHEDULE

- 8:40am Small group in the Chapel (mask-required)
- 8:40am Life Center
- 10am Chapel with live music and streamed sermon
- 10am Life Center
- 11:20am Life Center
All of these Gatherings can be watched live at hbcwaco.org or on the Highland app.
If you are able to attend the 10am Chapel or 11:20am Life Center, that would be very helpful!

 
We continue a new series this Sunday called See Jesus as we go to the Old Testament and find the character, person, and heart of Christ there.
 Highland is also taking communion this Sunday (in individual packages that you will pick up at the door when you enter). We look forward to remembering the cross and the incredible sacrifice that was made for our rescue.  

 
* "The Elders, in continuing to listen to Highland’s own doctors and medical professionals, are encouraging Highlanders (over the age of 10 and those without breathing conditions) to wear a mask for the entirety of the Gathering for this present season. The Elders feel this is a good effort to do all we can to maintain the lack of spread we have seen at Highland and in recognition of the concerning number of spread in our city. Highland is partnering with other churches in Waco who are making this same encouragement. The Lord has been extremely gracious to the Highland Family during this time, and we are, as are you, keeping our eyes and hope fixed on Him!"
