HIGHLIGHTS
August 11, 2019
These summer days give us an opportunity to sit back and
reflect on life. Today we have a treat. Veteran singer/song
writers Jim and Jean Strathdee will lead music in their
joyous and soulful way, and following a parable of Jesus,
we will have a conversation with our soul.

A Message from Highlands
Shelter to Home Team:
There has been a large parade of clients
visiting the Shelter to Home storage room in the
past 10 days. Once all the chosen furniture is
removed, the place will be quite bare.
We currently have 5 clients who need things we do not have. We
recognize that we have let our church family know our needs, over and
over again. But we're hoping all of you can spread the word that "the
cupboard is bare".
We have:
no beds (and need 4),
no dining tables and chairs,
no coffee tables,
no dressers.
no TVs and TV stands
no microwaves
no pots
few electrical appliances and kitchen utensils
Thanks for your ongoing support of this outreach ministry.

Experience the healing of touch this
summer……
The Highlands Healing Hands ministry team is offering sessions of
healing at Highlands Church on Monday evenings in July and August
Dates are July 8, 15, 29 and August 5, 12
Times are 7:30 and 8:15
All are invited to come for relaxation, easing of pain, or emotional or
spiritual companionship. Please call Sharon Yetman 604-988-5827
for an appointment.
The Healing Pathway practitioner serves as a vessel or conduit of
God’s grace and healing energy. Practitioners are not the source of
the healing energy; they are merely the instrument. The aim of
healing is to restore balance and harmony within the energy system
and thus enable the self-healing of the individual.
The foundation of the Healing Pathway program lies in the long
tradition of healing within the Christian faith. Healing is not just
something Jesus and the early Christians did, it is an expression of
the deeper realities of faith, compassion, forgiveness and caring for
one another. The intention to be fully present with another in God’s
unconditional love creates the opportunity for healing. For early
Christians, healing was part of what it meant to be a follower of
Jesus, and the Healing Pathway is built on those ancient roots.
Highlands Book Circle
All are invited to our gathering in August - a chance to discuss
dystopian novel, published in 1953, which has stood the test of
time.
Date: Monday, August 26th
Time: 7:15pm
Title: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
The novel presents a future American society where books are
outlawed and "firemen" burn any that are found.[5] The book's
tagline explains the title: "Fahrenheit 451 – the temperature at
which book paper catches fire, and burns..."
Come for the discussion and to recommend books which we will
vote on to choose for the autumn months.
Any questions? Contact Phyllis at [email protected]
