Family Song Service | Sunday, August 20 at 5:00 PM | No Childcare
It is with mixed emotions that we send off the McAllisters to their next ministry post. To celebrate our time together, we will have a song service for the whole family on Sunday night, August 20. Normally, we meet in Life Groups during this time, but we want to have one special night of singing together on their last Sunday with us. We will have refreshments after in the fellowship hall where you will have an opportunity to share your love for the McAllisters. Make plans now to sing with us.

KidsPointe Resumes August 27!
We’re excited to kick off a new curriculum, The Gospel Story. This new study takes a detailed look at how each of the Bible stories, beginning in the Old Testament, connects to the gospel and to God’s larger plan of redemption as it answers the question, "Where is Jesus?". Each child attending during the 2023-2024 school year will need to be registered even if he/she has attended in the past. To serve in KidsPointe during this school year, please contact Erin Wyman.

High Pointe Mission Trips

Would you pray about one of these trips? More information will be forthcoming, but you can prepare now by (1) securing a passport, (2) asking questions, (3) and letting us know of your interest.
 
Giving at High Pointe
God is generous, and so he calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are and helps proclaim the gospel. We want to glorify God in every area of our lives, including what we do with our finances. But as you may have noticed, we do not take up a collection on Sundays at High Pointe. Consequently, we’ve been receiving questions as to how to give. There are several ways you may give:
  1. Offering Boxes in Auditorium – You may place your offering in an offering box.
  2. Mail – You may mail your contribution to the church office.
  3. Text/Online – You may give by texting 84321 (it will require a first-time setup).
  4. Your Bank – You may give through your own bank via Bill Pay or ACH.

If you have any questions, go to this LINK. Our financial staff is also available to help or answer your questions. You may call the church office at 512-837-7725.

On-Call Pastor
To better care for you, High Pointe, we have an “on-call” pastor available for emergencies after office hours and on weekends. To reach the on-call pastor, call 512-837-7725, extension 1.

Preaching Schedule: Pray regularly for the ministry of the Word at High Pointe. Also, prepare for our gatherings by reading the sermon text, thinking it through, and asking questions about the text before Sunday. Here is a preaching schedule designed to help you prepare for Sundays:

Resources of the Week
  • Resources for Studying Romans 
    • I’m preparation to return to our study of Romans, here are some resources: introduction, Bible study, lectures, sermons.
  • The Importance of Christian Doctrine by J. Gresham Machen
    • During our Theology in the Life of the church evening with Dr. Ligon Duncan, he mentioned Machen’s “Christianity and Liberalism” as one of the books every Christian must read. I agree! Here is an excerpt and a link to purchase the book. Enjoy!

Begin praying as you prepare to gather with us this Sunday at 10:00 am.
Love,
