Adults:
Advent Studies begin December 1, 2024
Names for the Messiah - An Advent Study
Led by Ned Rand and David Rogers | Meets in Room 209
Making use of a simple book by Walter Brüeggmann, this discussion-based class will explore the names given for the Messiah by the prophet Isaiah – Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace – and answer the question, did Jesus live up to these expectations? All are invited to join in the conversation.
Advent - Beginning the Liturgical Year
Led by Esther Glenn and Reggie Holder | Meets in Room 210
Drawing upon scripture and selected writings of Sister Joan Chittister, this class will explore the themes of waiting, listening, joy, and light as they connect with the season of Advent and help us meld our lives with the life of Christ in ancient practices of our Christian faith.
Managing the Stress of Advent & Christmas
Led by Mikah Hudson | Meets in Room 204
Join Highlands’ Senior Pastor Mikah Hudson for an informal discussion and reflection on how to best cope with the stresses of the holiday season. Like pumpkin spice, Mikah hopes to offer a well-balanced blend of kvetching and affirmation in these sessions of sharing and support.

All youth (6th-12th graders) are invited to Sunday School each week for a group discussion lesson with guest teachers. Youth Sunday School meets in Room 206
