Strong and rooted,
Soaring and reaching,
Vibrant and fruitful,
Sheltering and comforting.

Pentecost is Sunday, May 23



A FOUNDATION OF FAITH established during childhood through young adulthood helps ensure lifelong faith and service. When you give to the Pentecost Offering, you are helping to provide opportunities for young people to grow and share in their faith in Christ. 

Highland Presbyterian's Birthday

As you know, Pentecost is also the birthday of Highland Presbyterian Church. To celebrate we will have a small, informal gathering with refreshments following Worship. Please plan to join with us in celebrating another year of serving God in His mission.
