Thursday Morning Women’s Study, 10:00–11:30 a.m., Ardmore Room
Beginning April 3: “Presbyterian Understanding and Use of Holy Scripture” and “Biblical Authority and Interpretation”
In 1983, the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) was formed through the merger of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. (UPCUSA) and the Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS), also known as the “southern” and “northern” streams respectively.  At the same time two papers were written in response to the need for a common basis in a diverse church for understanding and using scripture, “Presbyterian Understanding and Use of Holy Scripture” and “Biblical Authority and Interpretation.” They remain important resources for our denomination today. Over the next several weeks we will be studying these resources. You can pick up copies of these documents in Gidget Payne’s office or contact Heather Ferguson if you have questions or if you would like to join this group.

The Presbyterian Women
The Presbyterian Women focus on Bible study, mission projects, and fellowship. There are two active circles available for the women of Highland that meet September through May. This year’s study is Sacred Encounters: The Power and Presence of Jesus Christ in
Luke–Acts. The study guides are now available in the Conference Room just off the Gallery Hall. There is no cost for the guide, but Circle members are asked to make a yearly contribution to Presbyterian Women.

• The Morning Circle meets at 10:30 on the first Tuesday of the month in the Salem Room of the Activity Building. For more information please contact Heather Ferguson, 336-724-6303.
• The Afternoon Circle meets from 2–3:00 p.m. on the first Monday of the month in the Ardmore Room of the Activity Building. New and continuing participants are encouraged to join us for fellowship and Bible study. For more information please contact Ellen Doyle  or Carolyn Birk.

Men’s Breakfast Study, The Wired Word, gathers on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 a.m. for a time of fellowship and study.
