2021 has been a challenging year for many people. The Presbyterian Disaster Assistance agency works to bring hope to all. Gifts can be made online at pcusa.org/DT21. As an option to contacting Presbyterian Disaster Assistance directly, members can also make a check to Highland Presbyterian Church and mark it "for PDA." We will forward these funds on to the PDA.
New Year Clean Up

If you have a few minutes following worship on Sunday, we will be taking down the Christmas decorations and readying the Sanctuary for the new year. All help will be appreciated. "Many hands make light work." Thank you in advance.
