Sunday, March 30, 11:00 a.m.: Randy Harris will be preaching on this Fourth Sunday in Lent, guided by scripture in Exodus 14:10-31, making our way through the waters of the Red Sea with the people of Israel as we remember the Exodus. This formative event has shaped much of the biblical narrative, and it continues to inspire the imagination of the church. We hope you will plan to take part in our opportunities for worship, learning, sharing, and fellowship this Sunday as we follow in Christ’s way together. See the bulletin here. Click here for the Highland Worship Online page, where there is a virtual “Friendship Pad” as well as a virtual “offering plate.” You may also subscribe to Highland’s YouTube channel here.

  • People forget facts but they remember stories. Joseph Campbell
  • In the end, we’ll all become stories. Margaret Atwood
  • There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story. Maya Angelou
  • You are the perfect person to tell your story. Lin-Manuel Miranda

One evening years ago, Janice and I were sitting around our dining room table with two of our sons and our nephew, with whom we developed a close relationship before we had kids. Over desert our nephew asked, “Has your dad ever told you about the time he did …?” “No,” said our sons. I was shocked. I thought I had. So I told that story. Our nephew asked that question two more times, and I had two more stories to tell. That conversation led me to write a book that only I could write entitled, “Sparks from Lightning Bugs and Other Life Lessons.” In so doing, I had two purposes – to capture my stories for my family and friends and to encourage others to capture theirs. Join us for some entertainment, thought, and encouragement!
