Janet and Reuven Ross
Senior Adult Ministers
The Senior Adult Ministry at Highland is focused on encouraging mature people to continue fervently serving the Lord. They know that God is not finished with them, so they seek Him, and share Him with others. Senior adults are a strategic part of the Body of Christ. Their wisdom and faithfulness inspire and motivate other generations of worshippers. Many seniors are intentionally making disciples, some are involved in prayer groups, and many others serve in various capacities. Highland loves our Senior Adults and their love for Jesus!
On May 17, at 8:40am in the Fellowship Hall (Ed. building), we will pray, confess our nations sins, and sing as an expression of rededication of America to God. For information, email .

Our Naomi Fellowship is a monthly dinner program for our widows and widowers. The meals are catered and free as a gift to the Naomis. We also use these evenings as fund-raisers for missions (usually TCF Mercy in southern Africa). The programs are inspirational, fun, and usually musical. We meet together monthly from May through December. We meet in the Fellowship Hall from 5-6:30pm. Reservations can be made with Mary Ramos at (956) 206-3285 or with Janet at

We lead a monthly hymn-sing and devotions for Stoney Brook of Hewitt - Memory Care. Another ministry with music and Bible teaching takes place at Royal Manor in Hewitt one Sunday a month. We also meet at Waco Healthcare twice a month on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. We provide a service for Asher Point the last Sunday each month at 10am. We lead a Bible Study at Stillwell Independent Living, Regent care, and The Highlands, also. Carol Haines leads a devotional service for Residences of Ridgewood twice a month. If you are interested in any of these areas of ministry, contact Janet Ross.
Highland currently has 20 people in Senior Care Homes. If you would like to visit and pray with residents, that would be a blessing to them! Contact Janet for a list of residents.
When one of our Senior Adults is ill, has had surgery, or transitioned to Heaven, the Adult Bible Fellowships (ABFs) and Connection Groups (CGs) usually provide meals. If the person was not in an ABF or CG, the request for food goes to the Meal Ministry Team for a meal train or a meal following a funeral. If you would like to cook or bake for those in need, contact Janet Ross.
We have a Helps Team made up of people who are willing to drive others to the doctor, rehab, or stores. We also have people willing to do repairs or yard work. If you need help or are willing to offer your services to those in need, call Patti Blake at the church office or email
Patti Blake keeps a list of who can do a variety of jobs for our seniors - odd jobs, repairs, household or yard chores. If you are willing to help, please give Patti your name and what you can do. Call her at the office at 254-754-0335.
Watch & Pray is an intercessory prayer gathering that meets on Wednesdays at 4-5pm. We pray for Highland concerns, Waco, the USA, Israel, missions, the persecuted church, and other nations. Our desire is to be part of what God is doing - and we do that best through prayer. Join us in the Wellness Center Den as we agree together for God's will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. All ages are welcome.

The Sermon on the Mount Discipleship Study meets on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 for Senior and Young Adults together. This challenging, intergenerational study also provides trusted relationships as we share and pray together in small groups. We meet in the Chapel for teaching, then break into groups. We are continuing our study of Matthew 5 on Jan. 14, 2025. For information or to register, email .
