MISSION OF THE MONTH
The Mission Committee decided to initiate a Mission of the Month to focus on different mission opportunities for the entire congregation to participate. Many of the monthly mission activities will focus on those activities identified by the congregation as priorities. The monthly mission will be announced in a Moment for Mission at church, in the Highlander, in the bulletin, on the website and in the weekly e-mail communications to the congregation. Keep an eye out for these announcements that include an explanation of how you can participate.
MAY MISSION OF THE MONTH
Star House in Columbus, which was brought to the attention of the Mission Committee by Danielle Jones, is the Mission focus for the month of May. Star House is a nonprofit that serves homeless youth and young adults by providing such basics as food, clothing, hygiene supplies, as well as access to healthcare, housing assistance, job training and counseling.
Highlands members willing to contribute to this worthy cause may donate any of the following items during the month of May. Please place donations in the Mission Committee “gift box” brought forward during offering and located in the sanctuary.
- Gift cards in the amount of $5 or $10 to: Wendys, KFC, Church’s Chicken, Burger King, McDonalds, or Subway.
- Sunscreen
- Umbrellas or Ponchos
- Monetary donations are also welcome. To make such a donation, please make a check out to Highlands Presbyterian, noting “Star House” on the check memo.
May God use us to bless others as He has blessed us.
