Take Home A Box This Sunday

May 1st we are asking every family at Highview to take home a box and fill it with cans. Bring the filled box back Sunday, May 8 for a fun event that will be part of our interactive, intergenerational Mother's Day Service - It's Not Easy Being the World's Future. The cans will be part of the FILL A FREIGHT TRUCK event on June 4 - Highview's Love KW project this year, linked to the youth initiative Epicentre. All of it ends up at the Food Bank to help feed hungry people right here in our own region. THANKS!

KORP KOON, KA!

It's hard to find the right words, in Thai OR in English, to properly express my deep thanks for all who supported my time away in Thailand last month. God used this visit to encourage me in deep, deep places of my soul, mostly through the clear evidence of His loving and significant participation in the lives of our kids. Hot Springs is doing SO WELL! Sponsors - Thank you! The impact you are making is incalculable. Suradet and Yupa are strong, loving, creative and industrious parents, making a life of peace and stability for these children. We are well invested by partnering with them in this joyful responsibility. You will hear more in coming weeks of the vision Suradet and I both have to expand and add more kids to the Hot Springs family. I want to thank the Staff, Front Line Leaders, Elders and all the volunteers who so beautifully carried on the important kingdom work God has for us here at Highview while I was gone...not a surprise given the quality of people who love and serve at Highview. Thanks....Ruth Anne
