Youth Mission Trip Stock Sale
Your purchase of a share or shares of stock is an investment in the Highlands United Methodist Youth Mission Trip. It is an investment in the lives of our young people. It is an investment that allows our young people to experience an intentional, guided opportunity to be the loving presence of God. It is an investment that allows the heartbeat of Highlands UMC to be heard and felt in rural Tennessee by low-income residents who are happy to have a helping hand.
Purchasing shares in this trip represents an investment in transformation – in our young people, in a low-income Tennessee county, in the future of Highlands UMC. It will allow our young people to have a never-to-be forgotten experience in serving God by serving others.
As a shareholder, you will receive updates from the trip, photos, and correspondence updating you on what your investment has allowed to happen. The biggest payoff, what your investment does for the spiritual development of our church’s young people, may take years to be fully realized.
Thank you for considering this investment worthwhile.

Lenten Offering: Medical Debt Forgiveness
Special Offering: Medical Debt Forgiveness
This Lent and Eastertide, Highlands is partnering with RIP Medical Debt, a non-profit organization dedicated to removing the burden of medical debt, using sophisticated data analytics to pinpoint the debt portfolios of those most in need of relief. RIP purchases unpaid and unpayable debt at significantly reduced rates; this debt is forgiven, no strings attached. For every $1 donated, an average of $100 in debilitating debt is forgiven. We have set a goal to relieve ONE MILLION DOLLARS of medical debt in the greater Birmingham area by raising $10,000 through a special Lenten and Easter Offering. We hope you will join us in this worthy cause this season.

Fellowship Hall Work Day
CM Fellowship Hall Work Day - February 3
As we prepare to expand our Community Ministries Hospitality Hours to Saturday service, we need to spend a little time and elbow grease preparing the Fellowship Hall for our guests. Join us on Saturday, February 3 from 10:00 am to Noon to scrub tables and chairs, straighten up the serving area, and organize supplies. There will also be an opportunity for those who have never served in Community Ministries or who haven’t served since before the pandemic to “learn the ropes” and get some training before Saturday service begins on February 10. There’s no need to RSVP but if you know you’ll be able to join in, we’d love to hear from you.
