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.
