Highland Worship In-Person

Updated on February 28, 2025

March 02, Transfiguration Sunday

On this Transfiguration Sunday, we will overhear God’s voice speaking to the disciples about Jesus, saying to them, “Listen to him!” We, too, are called to listen to Jesus’ voice in the cacophany of our days, and to follow in his way together. We hope you will plan to be with us! (Join us in person for worship at 11:00 a.m. or online with the livestream beginning at 10:45 a.m.) On this first Sunday of the month, we will share the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, and will receive our monthly 5 Cents a Meal offering.

We have another full Sunday as we gather as a community of learning, as well–both in the morning for church school, and in the afternoon for our Winter Forum. (Please see below for details).

The Season of Lent begins this week, and we will gather for worship this Ash Wednesday, March 5 at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary following our Fling Meal at 6:00. (Please see below for details about this as well.)

May God continue to grant us strength, wisdom, and courage for the living of these days.
