Details to come...
MISSION HIGHLIGHT for NOVEMBER - CROP WALK!
On October 19th, members from Highlands Presbyterian Church participated in the Annual CROP Hunger Walk. Over $500 was raised to help feed the hungry on both a local and international level. The CROP Hunger Walk is neighbors walking together to take a stand against hunger in our world. Together we raise awareness and funds for international relief and development, as well as local hunger-fighting. For more information, or to get involved in CROP, visit

MISSION HIGHLIGHT for SEPTEMBER - BUDDY'S PLACE
One
day, HPC member Mike Rohloff noticed a brochure from Buddy's Place
hanging on our bulletin board in Fellowship Hall. He wondered if they
might enjoy some of HPC's Gary Wibracht's delicious home made pizza at
their meetings...And the pizza project began! Those
of you in church on Palm Sunday heard the founder of Buddy's Place give
a brief "Minute for Mission" presentation. Buddy's Place meets once a
month at LaGrange Hospital with the purpose of giving families who have
lost a loved one a chance to move through the grieving process with
others in the same situation. This is especially helpful for children
who have lost a parent or sibling....they can talk with others who are
in their age group and know that they are not alone.
These pizzas have been greatly appreciated and warmly welcomed by the
folks at Buddy's Place, and we believe it's a project worth continuing.
So hop on the pizza-making train and join us for a good time and a good
cause! Contact The Rohloff's or the Schepplers if you'd like to help!

Wycliffe USA is part of an international association of organizations
dedicated to seeing God's Word become accessible to all people in the
language that speaks to their heart. Wycliffe’s staff is passionate
about the glory of God through the translation of His Word for all
peoples of the earth in the language they understand best. For more information about Wycliffe, visit wycliffe.org.
