Connecting Our Community with Christ

1983-2023



For 40 years we have stood

as a mighty tree in our community:

Strong and rooted,

Soaring and reaching,

Vibrant and fruitful,

Sheltering and comforting.

To the Congregation at Highland Presbyterian:


Congratulations on the 40th anniversary!


I wish I could be with you to celebrate. I am getting along well at the Presbyterian Home, and I hope my friends there at Highland are well also.


I have fond memories of Highland Church and especially remember the exciting days of chartering a new congregation. May God be with you as you move forward toward the next anniversary.
