Mercy Service Day - Sept. 21

Mercy Sunday - Sept. 22

-On Saturday, September 22, Highland’s volunteers went to Canton to work on a building owned by Pleasant Green Church of Christ Holiness Church. Some of the work projects included: trash pickup and yard/garden work, trim work on exterior of the building, and bathrooms painted inside. The kitchen got a good cleaning and one storage room was emptied out so that another room can now be utilized for the Canton Kid’s Club ministry! Every Tuesday from 4-5 pm several members from Highland’s work with the kids in the area, sharing the gospel through Bible lessons and songs. We enjoyed working along side several members of Pleasant Green. It made for a very productive morning!

-Sunday, September 22nd was Mercy Sunday at Highlands. This is a special Sunday where we focus on God's heart for mercy and kindness. We heard a sermon entitled "What Mercy Shows", based on Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy."

We were also honored to host representatives from Son Valley, Jackson Leadership, Mission First, Lifeline Children's Ministry and the Canton Good News Club. These organizations shared their inspiring work with our Adult Communities during our Sunday School hour. It was an enriching weekend, learning about mercy and service, and reaching out to our community.
