Wednesday Night LIVE! – Wednesdays in July, Gathering Garden Playground, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
The Children’s Ministry Committee has been exploring ways to bring our families together this summer to strengthen friendships, share a simple meal, and enjoy Highland’s new Gathering Garden Playground. We are excited to announce Wednesday Night LIVE! An Afternoon Gathering for Fun, Food, and Fellowship. 5:30-7:30 p.m. Drop-in. Have a simple dinner. Let the children play. Catch up with friends. Stay as long as you like. Head home in time for bath and bed.
Wednesday Night LIVE! is a version of our Friday gatherings, except located on our new Gathering Garden Playground and for the whole family!   For the first two Wednesdays in July (July 2 and 9) families with children in 5th grade and younger are invited to Wednesday Night LIVE!, where there will be a simple, fun dinner, and free play on our new playground. We know that our families have valued the friendships that have grown between the children and the youth and adult volunteers that have served on 4th Fridays, so we will invite them to join us too, not in a volunteer role, but simply to enjoy getting to know your whole family.
On the last three Wednesdays of July (July 16, 23, 30), Wednesday Night LIVE! will be opened up to our whole church family.  We will add special music to the mix. Several Highland talents have offered to come and entertain us from under the pergola, so we will invite everyone to bring their camp chairs and blankets and sit in the green space to enjoy the music while the kids play.

Sunday Morning Church School During the School Year, Sundays at 9:30 a.m., children ages 3 through 4th grade are invited to the third floor of the education building for exciting faith formation experiences called God’s Good Neighborhood. Preschoolers will join Mrs. Sally and Mrs. Joyce for stories from the “God Loves Me” series, as well as arts, activities and creative play. This is a wonderful time of learning about God’s love and how the church is a safe and loving place to be. At 10:15, teachers will take all of the children to the Worship Center (third floor, White Door) for Children’s Choir. Parents can pickup children there at 10:45 a.m.
