Wednesday Night Supper and Study
Just a quick note to all of our members. We are starting off our special study called For Parents Only (see the web site) this week. The purpose of this study is to help the parents of our church understand their kids and become better parents in 
accordance with Ephesians 6:4. I hope all of our parents will come and be at this study on Wednesday Nights in January and February. The book that this is based on is one of the most important books I’ve read as a parent. That is not hyperbole. I really mean that. It has helped me greatly and I wanted to share it with you. We will get an overview of the study this week and give out the book and the study guide.
We start at 6:30 this week. The reason is that we know many families have a hard time getting home in time to eat and then get to church. So at 6:30 we will have a meal. This won’t be a big church potluck. This week we are have soup and sandwiches. So come get a healthy, hot supper and learn how to relate to your kids.
The youth are also taking part in a similar study. The guys are studying For Guys Only which will help them better understand themselves, their parents, and girls. The girls are study For Girls Only which will do the same for them – help them understand themselves, their parents and guys.
We will also have regular Children In Action and a nursery.
If you have friends with kids, let them know about this great study!!

This is going to be a shorter than usual Highlights (or maybe more accurately, just less pretty) because I have to rush out to make a couple of funeral visitations. Pray for Steve Hice’s family who will be celebrating the life of his grandfather today and grandmother on Monday. Also pray for Shannon King’s family as they will do the same today for his grandfather.
Getting ready for Sunday, we will continue looking at the book of Revelation. To get a little head start, reading chapter 17-18 and ask yourself this. Who is the Great Harlot talking about. Some say it is Israel. Others say it is Rome. Others have suggested more wildly the Catholic Church or even the US. I have my opinion. Come find out if it is one of these or another option. The most important thing to remember is what Revelation 18:4 says, “Come out form her …”
As we continue with our Sunday Nigh Prayer and Praise, come again. We had a great kick off service. I really enjoyed it. This week I especially want to ask our youth and children to be there. You’ll find out why Sunday night at 6:00 PM.
Remember that Homecoming is coming in October. Make plans now to invite old friends and family back to to High Peak for this service as we celebrate our church’s birthday with a worship service led by former Pastor John Revis. We will also have a great meal afterwards and then no evening service that night.
One last thing …
Pray for our deacons as they help lead our church. I met with them last Wednesday night regarding some important things going on in our church, some future plans and some changes that will I think benefit our church, but might also cause some to question. This has to do with our Prayer Room and Church library. We want to move forward with what I think most people agree. The church could benefit from a room dedicated to prayer. But while we do that we don’t want to ignore the past contributions of some special people as well as the recent hard work that many others have put into these things. Pray for …
1. Wisdom
2. Peace
3. A Great Future as we become a church that both disciples its members with the resources of our library and a church that is known as a House of Prayer for all people.
God bless you,
