Feb. 11, 2021

HERE IS HIGHLAND'S SCHEDULE THIS SUNDAY:

- 8:40am small group in the Chapel (mask-required) and Life Center
- 10am Chapel with live music and streamed sermon and 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!
 

At 10am in the Chapel, we will have a Gathering with live worship and a livestream of Pastor John's message. This week we are asking ESL Bible Fellowship, Countdown to Marriage, Lehde CG, Jacob Neubert CG to worship in the Chapel at 10am, as well as anyone else interested in worshiping in that venue. Let’s continue praying with and for one another as we move closer to this Sunday!


* "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!"

Pray that God would grant them the strength to stand firm in the face of opposition and persecution.

PRAY FOR HIGHLAND MISSIONARIES
 
Pray for our missionaries serving throughout the globe. In this pandemic season they have all taken extra steps to find ways to minister to their neighbors through social media as well as through virtual discipleship and leadership training. Pray the Lord would grant them a patient endurance as they continue to love and minister to their neighbors.
