Holy Week 2026
Celebrate Holy Week at Highlands!
This year at Highlands, we are providing a special opportunity to fellowship across all age groups, connect with visitors, and enjoy time with our church family. We invite you to join us for all-church fellowship with refreshments in the Atrium immediately following 9:00 AM worship on Easter morning, similar to our Christmastime gatherings.
Please invite your family and friends! Easter is a wonderful day to welcome visitors. As members of Highlands, please be attentive to visitors, warmly greet them, and look for ways to make everyone feel welcome. It’s also a day when family is back in town—a perfect time to meet each other’s families, catch up, and enjoy fellowship together.

March 29 – Palm Sunday Worship: 9:00–10:15 AM (Nursery Provided) (Children sing during worship), followed by Sunday School Communities 10:30–11:30 AM

The Highlands Cross will be located outside the West Atrium doors on Easter Sunday morning. Bring a flower or two from your yard or the store to put on the cross. It’s a great backdrop for family Easter photos!

2026 Missions Festival
2026 Highlands Missions Festival
Imagine seeing the world through Jesus' eyes. In the gospels, Jesus shares what he sees when He looks at the multitudes. For our 2026 Missions Festival, we're asking, "How Far Can You See?" We invite you to join us in the challenge of seeing people across the world through Christ's perspective. Our Sunday messages will explore this important question for Jesus' followers over the centuries. Some of our missionary couples will join us to share about their work in distant places. Children will also learn from well-known missionary biographies, exploring what those heroes of the faith saw. Come and see what can happen when we open our eyes!
Our host Missionaries will be:
(SPEAKER) Nate and Nikki Bonham - (Rionegro, Colombia)
Trey & Kiki Adams - (Bangkok, Thailand)
Brent Kooi - (Sydney, Australia)
Bibek Guidey - (Nepal)
Clarke and Khrystya Norton - (Ukraine)
Tim and Bev Hart - (Bahamas)
