Activities
The Making of a Disciple Study (Matthew 5) will meet on Tuesdays, at 6:30pm, for Senior and Young Adults together from Sept. 3, 2024. 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 then break into groups. Studying to live the beatitudes and Sermon on the Mount will change your life! For information or to register, email .
Monthly Events
Game Days
On a regular basis, Senior Adults meet for games and shared desserts. All are welcome! While playing games, we have great conversations. It’s a wonderful opportunity to build friendships and community.
Join us on July 25 and August 29 at 2pm in the Wellness Center, multi purpose room. Bring your favorite dessert to share. We'll play bingo with good prizes! Email for information.
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. Meeting together monthly from May through November allows us to connect with one another well. We meet in the Fellowship Hall from 5-6:30pm. Reservations are required and can be made with Mary Ramos at (956) 206-3285 or with Janet at
On July 16, at 5pm, our Naomis will enjoy the fun and companionship of the Highland Leader College interns. They will lead us in Wii bowling following our dinner.

Ways to Serve
We are always in need of people who would like to serve on our senior adult ministry team. Contact Janet Ross for more information.
Nursing Home Ministries
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 Thursday mornings. We provide a service for Lakeshore Estates the last Sunday each month at 10am. If you are interested in these areas of ministry, contact Janet Ross.
Highland currently has 16 people in eight facilities. If you would like to visit and pray with residents, that would be wonderful! 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 repair work or yard work. If you need help or are willing to offer your services to those in need, you can call Patti Blake at the church office or email or email
