There is such beauty in each encounter we have at Highlands Juvenile Detention Center. Because our team is so diverse, each encounter is unique, personal, meaningful, and real. And each always conveys the hope and the love found in Christ.

These kids trust us and they are hungry for Truth. They feel the power of God’s Word in action and our consistency and presence matters. The Holy Spirit is with us and with them in HJDC! What a blessing it is to be part of this and to see God at work in these young people - and in us - through this ministry. 

Lilies given in honor or in memory of a loved one enhance the beauty of our Easter worship services. Giving lilies to be placed in the Sanctuary or the Fellowship Hall is a wonderful way to celebrate the resurrection of the One who gives meaning to our lives. If you would like to order one or more lilies for this purpose, please fill out this form and then pay online: $25 each. (choose “Easter Lily” in the drop-down menu). Orders are due by March 25.

Empowering Women and Girls at Hope Haven…

This March, our Mission & Outreach Committee invites our church family to turn our hearts toward our sisters in Christ at the Hope Haven Program in Ndola, Zambia, one of the life-changing ministries supported through Phoebe Foundation Africa (PFA).

Your donations will help provide much needed: Sewing machines, fabric, thread, and basic sewing materials. These are simple tools—but in the hands of a woman seeking a new beginning, they become instruments of hope…

Recognized biblically as a gift, hospitality invites treating others with kindness, and mirroring the grace that we have received in Christ. For some, hospitality may be experienced in a simple phone call, or a note of encouragement, perhaps even a conversation over a cup of coffee. For others, hospitality is experienced through the gift of food, with a meal received at the right moment.

At FPC we have a very active Care Committee (Congregational Care) who share the gift of hospitality in each of these ways as well as other ways. Would you consider exploring your gift for hospitality with the church?

Join Pastor Gary each week for prayer. Every Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. in the Chapel, Gary and staff will be gathering with any and all who would like to pray.

No need to sign up, just show up!
