We are asking the Lehde CG, Jacob Neubert CG, College Leadership Team & College CG Leaders to attend the 10am Chapel Gathering - that would be so helpful!
FIVE WAYS TO GIVE
In response to God's generosity, and as a way to support many platforms of ministry and missions at Highland, we provide five ways to give: 1) Text giving at 254-220-4845 2) Give at the kiosks set up in the Lobby 3) Baskets and drop-boxes on Sundays 4) Set up recurring giving so your giving is planned and purposeful by clicking the button 5) Give through the HBC Waco app.
As we continue to move forward with the physical building, we also continue to move ahead with our current ministries. We still need to raise $291,750 to finish out the project. If the Lord puts it on your heart to give this week, would you consider doing so? We cannot wait to open the doors of this new building for ministry all around our neighborhood! To give, please click HERE and select the Wellness Center fund.
