“Imagine a circle of compassion, and then double its size.”

This week, Rev. Tuck Taylor reminds us that following Jesus means expanding the fences until no one is left standing outside.

Watch the full sermon on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl22i7ekDXQ&list=PLLsmLC9PPkN4

The closing reflection on expanding the circle of compassion draws from Father Greg Boyle's Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion.

At our College Send-Off Dinner, Peter Baucom said it best: “I found my people here. I’m going to go off and find my people there.” 💙

As students begin or return to college this week, we’re giving thanks for the community they’ve found at Highland 🙌 and praying for the friendships, growth, and sense of belonging they’ll discover in this new season. 🌱

College students, we’re cheering you on! 🎉 You will always have a place here. 💙

Earlier this week, we shared a glimpse of our middle schoolers serving with BELONG NC. Now, take a look at the rest of their City Servants week! 💙

Along with their time at BELONG NC, they packed meals with Rise Against Hunger, strengthened friendships, had plenty of fun, and explored what it means to share the light of Christ through service.

We’re grateful for these young people, the adults who served alongside them, and a meaningful week spent outside our walls. ✨

“Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
—Matthew 5:16, NRSVUE

A little moment of connection. 💙

As Pastor Tuck continues getting to know the Highland community, we’ve loved seeing the conversations, introductions, and everyday moments that are helping relationships grow—like this sweet moment we caught after worship recently.
