Activities
The Lifestyle of a Disciple Study (Matthew 6-7) meets on Tuesdays, at 6:30pm, for Senior and Young Adults together until April 21, 2026. This challenging, intergenerational study also provides trusted relationships as we share and pray together in small groups. We meet weekly in the Chapel for teaching, and break into groups. Studying to live the Sermon on the Mount is life- changing! Our last evening, April 21, we will talk about and pray for the empowering of the Holy Spirit to evangelize and make disciples. All are welcome.

Naomi Fellowship
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
On May 19, we will enjoy an African theme with slides of the ministry we support in Mozambique, and of a safari. Our speaker will be Rev. David Hill, a former missionary to South Africa.
On June 16, the Highland Leader College interns will provide our program. They are always fun and creative!

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.
Meal Ministry Team
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.
Helps Team
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.
