Fifth Sunday Church-Wide Fellowship at 5PM
This Sunday night we will continue our Fifth Sundays Church-Wide fellowships. As a reminder, we are reclaiming Sunday nights to come together as a church. Our aim on these evenings is to be able to have church wide conversations and build stronger relationships. We hope you make every effort to join us.
Our theme for Sunday night is Worship through Singing. We will have a brief time of teaching on worship. We will offer a definition of worship, then share our principles for worship at High Pointe, along with our values for music in worship. After that, we will spend the rest of the evening singing together through some of our favorite hymns and songs. This will be a wonderful opportunity to include our children and teach them about the importance of congregational singing.
As it is a fellowship, bring your favorite baked goods – cookies, brownies, etc. - something we don’t need utensils for. We look forward to having a wonderful time together in fellowship and singing.
Join us this Sunday at 5:00 p.m.

Gospel Partner of the Month: Our Work in Cuba
1. Predica Fiel
In our approach to missions at High Pointe, we not only seek to send our best, but we also want to equip and encourage those who are already serving in the field. One of the ways to do that is to provide training for national pastors and missionaries. Predica Fiel is a training ministry that equips pastors, missionaries, and church leaders in expositional teaching and preaching. They provide training workshops throughout the island of Cuba and the Spanish-speaking world.
Please pray that the Lord will give them favor and fruitfulness in their work. Pray that the Lord would grant them continued opportunities to train pastors, missionaries, and teachers. And pray that the Lord would provide all the resources they need to do their work.
2. First Baptist Church & Seminary, Santa Clara, Cuba
High Pointe established a partnership with FBC Santa Clara in the 1990s. In fact, the Lord allowed High Pointe to have a significant role in helping the church start a seminary to raise uppastors and seminaries.
Pray that the Lord would provide all the seminary needs to train pastors and missionaries.
On-Call Pastor
To better care for you, High Pointe, we have an “on-call” pastor available for emergencies after office hours. To reach the on-call pastor, call 512-837-7725, extension 1.
