Men’s Ministry at Highlands
Men’s Steak Supper - Sunday, September 7
On Sunday evening, September 7, the Fellowship Hall was filled with good food and meaningful fellowship as Highlands hosted a Men’s Steak Supper. Fathers and sons, neighbors and friends, young and old—all gathered together to share in a night designed to encourage and strengthen men in their walk with Christ.
The evening began with a hearty steak dinner catered by Cey Let’s Eat Catering. After dinner, Thomas Gandy led a fun game of trivia. Teams of all ages joined in, testing their knowledge and enjoying the fun competition. Next, Mike Murphy led the group in worship and singing several hymns. It was a powerful moment, hearing voices united in praise, reminding everyone of the strength found when God’s people come together in worship.
The highlight of the evening came as the men had the privilege of hearing from Dr. David Irving, President of Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson. Dr. Irving spoke on the calling of men to be grounded in God’s Word and to follow the example of Christ in both knowing and using the Word. He challenged the men to embrace the importance of gathering together as the people of God—encouraging one another, growing in faith, and leading their families and communities with wisdom and strength rooted in Scripture.
A special thank-you goes to all who worked behind the scenes to make the night possible—the organizers, volunteers, and servants who poured their time and energy into creating a meaningful event. It was truly an evening of encouragement and joy shared among brothers in Christ.

January 26, 2025 Men's BBQ
On the evening of Sunday, January 26, Highlands hosted a Men’s BBQ dinner in the fellowship hall, where fathers, sons, neighbors, and friends of all ages gathered together. A delicious meal was catered by Cey Let's Eat Catering. The men enjoyed savory BBQ sandwiches, baked beans, cole slaw, and a homemade banana pudding .
After dinner, Thomas Gandy led an entertaining and lively game of “Friendly Feud,” which sparked friendly competition and plenty of laughs. The two teams—playfully named Team Brad and Team Joseph—battled it out in good spirit, with Team Joseph ultimately emerging as the victors.
After the game , Mike Murphy led the men in singing several hymns. Then, Samuel Bolen, the Executive Director of the Jackson Leadership Foundation, took the podium to speak to the group. Samuel challenged everyone to actively love and serve their city, state, and Lord, encouraging them to make a difference through tangible actions.
Despite the rainy and cold weather outside, the evening was filled with warmth, connection, and community. Many thanks are extended to those who worked diligently behind the scenes to make the night such a success. It was an evening of fellowship, fun, and enjoyment with brothers in Christ.
