WEDNESDAY NIGHTS ARE BACK!

The week is about to get a whole lot better.

Tonight, September 2, Wednesday nights are back at The Heights—and there’s something for every age and stage of life.

For Kids | 6–8pm
Grow & Go Kids is a midweek discipleship experience designed to help kids know and follow Jesus through engaging Bible teaching, worship, activities, and age-appropriate discipleship.

For Middle & High School Students | 6–8pm
Students have a place to hang out, build friendships, worship, dig into God’s Word, and learn what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.

For Adults | 6:30–8pm
Fall Wednesday Discipleship kicks off with studies for men, women, and open classes—including Fight Club, Isaiah: Striving Less and Trusting God More, Systematic Theology, and Portraits of Christ in Genesis.

For Worship Arts | 6–8pm
Choirs, orchestra, and multi-generational music opportunities are getting back into the rhythm as well.

Whether you're looking to grow deeper in your faith, find community, help your kids grow, or simply reconnect after the summer, Wednesday nights are a great place to start.

Tonight. We’ll see you at The Heights!

Dear families,
The disciples often witnessed Jesus communing with His Father in prayer. They recognized this spiritual discipline as one He committed much time to when He drew away from the crowds. Jesus’ followers became curious about this practice and desired to better understand it.

One disciple stepped up and boldly asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. Rather than lecturing them on the insufficiencies of their own prayer lives or directing them to make long, wordy recitations, Jesus taught them how to commune with God using a simple but profound framework now commonly known as the Lord’s Prayer.

Jesus modeled a style of prayer that addressed God as “Father”–-not as a distant, unloving, unknowable, or far-off figure. He also prayed in the second person (“Our Father,” “give us,” “as we forgive”), reminding the disciples that faith is lived out in community. Jesus engaged in a communal prayer that asked for God’s power, provision, forgiveness, mercy, and spiritual protection.

He then told a parable about opening the door to a friend who inconveniences you, revealing to us the boldness and passionate persistence we should employ in prayer. He shared another story about an apathetic judge intervening for justice, and how much more God compassionately desires to intervene in our lives. Through it all, Jesus taught them not to simply beg God for what He can give us, but to leverage prayer as a reminder of God's presence and sovereign control over our lives.

As you reflect on the prayer Christ modeled to His earliest followers, remember that the nature of prayer hasn’t changed in the thousands of years since the Lord’s Prayer was first uttered. Lead your kids to see that God desires to hear from them, save them from their sins, and provide for their needs. Lead them to see that God hears the prayers of those who seek Him and that He stands ready to provide them with their greatest need: salvation from sin. Pray they would come to understand the nearness of God through prayer.

This week is promotion Sunday in the Next Gen department. We have a few more spaces to fill. We are looking for people with a heart to serve the Next Generation and share the gospel with them! We would love to talk to you more about what these positions look like. Reach out to Eric or Jenny. We'd be happy to give you a tour and let you see first hand what happens upstairs on a Sunday morning!

Do you have a child entering Kindergarten? It's almost time to promote to the Kids Ministry. We will be upstairs this Sunday to meet you, let you tour the department, and see your classroom. We can't wait to meet you!

This desk is the first stop for families checking in their children on Sundays and Wednesdays. We're looking for people who would like to greet others with a smile and help answer any questions they may have. You also get the opportunity to greet first-time visitors and help them feel comfortable dropping off their children. We have a particular need for people to serve on the 4th Sunday of the month at 9:30 or 11am. If this is something you are interested in, please stop by on Sunday morning or email Eric at [email protected].
