RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED

Over the years of living in Chicago, I grew to understand why people went to Florida or Arizona for weeks or months at a time in January or February. It wasn’t just that Chicago can be brutally cold. It’s really that it is so grey. After weeks of cloudy, overcast skies, you long to see the sun, and thus, those with the resources to do so often fled to the sunnier south. While we have had a good deal of cold weather so far this winter, I’m finding myself in need of another kind of break. After a long, hard year of political turmoil, I am longing for some ways to re-focus my attention and feed my soul.

Here are some suggestions: in place of getting caught up in the banter of TV talking heads or the bar-rage of tweets or the Facebook debates, take a step back and look at some of the deep, important issues facing us from another perspective. Race and poverty are among the greatest challenges that continue to face our nation and our city. On February 11, EmpowerWest will sponsor our third annual book lecture. This year, we have chosen The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America. Author Richard Rothstein, a leading authority on housing policy, shows how both law and pub-lic policy shaped the segregated neighborhoods we have today and contributed directly to preventing Afri-can Americans from building equity and wealth that so many others achieved through home-ownership. After the lecture, you can join Highland friends in discussing this at a potluck supper at the home of Martha and Steve Makela on February 25.

Another perspective on race and poverty will be presented by Linda Raymond and Bill Ellison when they discuss their new book, The Two Lives and One Passion of Louise Marshall: Founder of the Cabbage Patch. This will take place at a lunch following worship on February 18. Highland has long supported the work of the Cabbage Patch and many of our members are or have been board members. Join us for a fasci-nating look at one woman who tried to change people’s lives and confront poverty.

On February 14, we will celebrate Ash Wednesday (even though it is also Valentine’s Day!) with wor-ship including communion and the imposition of ashes at 6:30pm. Lent is a time for reflection and renewal. It is a good time to select a book of readings as a companion, and to set aside time each day for quiet read-ing. One option is a series of daily devotions A Way Other Than Our Own by noted Old Testament scholar and preacher Walter Brueggemann. I have long admired the poet Mary Oliver and am planning on reading her new anthology Devotions.

Music is yet another way to refocus, refresh and renew. Jack Ashworth will be with us on February 11 at 3pm for Arts on the Corner and the Alma College Choir will perform in concert on February 28 at 7pm.

May these paths lead our hearts and minds to places of renewal so that we can hear God’s call to witness and service in new and life-giving ways. Cynthia M. Campbell, Pastor

Souper Bowl For almost 20 years, youth across the country have

Carolina when a pastor prayed, “on this Super Bowl

Sunday may everyone have a bowl of soup to eat.”

Bowl of Caring after our 11:00 worship service on

Feb. 4th. These donations will be given to Portland

From the Stewardship Committee

The participants of the College Montreat Trip had a wonderful time. Participants included: Clara Harper, Doodle Harris, Ross Hartmans, Avery Head, Jenny Hockenberry, Monica Jackson, and Andrew Valentine, as well as many others from the Mid-Kentucky Presby-tery. They thank you for your prayers during their trav-els.

Passionist Earth & Spirit Center

In September our HPC co-sponsor team welcomed the

Al-Dulaimi family as they arrived from Jordan where

they’d lived for 5 years after fleeing Iraq. With dona-

tions of furniture and household goods from the con-

gregation, the team set up their apartment, met them

at the airport, practiced English, provided transporta-

tion, and introduced them to American life. Collectively

the team spent 235 hours aiding or just befriending our

new friends. Just before the holidays we gathered at

their home for a party (see photo) celebrating their

move toward self-sufficiency. Abdulsalam has just start-

ed a job at Mesa Foods, his wife Baydaa continues English study and STITCH, and 7-year old Maryam is a 2nd grader

at Rangeland Elementary. We’ll invite them to Highland in the spring to share their story.

In Isaiah 43:19 we read, “I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? In these last sev-

eral months our ministry leaders, staff, and Session have explored both the continuing things and the new things

God is calling us to do, determining the costs involved, committed to making them happen, and presented them to

you, the congregation, as dreams, plans, and a continuing story for 2018. You have responded generously with

pledges and gifts of support. We have received 266 pledges – 30 of them from children and youth – saying, YES, we

want this to be our story for the new year. We are VERY CLOSE to our pledge goal of $800,000. As of earlier this

month, we had received pledges of $775,000 – 97% of our goal! Your Stewardship Committee is excited about

meeting and even exceeding this goal! If you have already made your 2018 pledge, THANK YOU! If you haven’t, WE

NEED YOU! Every pledge is important. Please mail your pledge card to the church office, drop a pledge card in the

offering plate, or email Mike Smith, our church business administrator at [email protected] with your

commitment. We are all part of the Highland Presbyterian Church story. Thank you for your commitment and your

response.

Doodle ([email protected]) with any ques-

tions!

January's weather provided opportunities for the children at the Nursery and Weekday School to investigate prop-

erties of nature that are quite new to them! We adults forget that very young children haven't had as much experi-

ence with snow and ice as we have. Additionally, they're not daunted by cold weather! We make sure that every-

one is well-bundled and venture out as much as we safely can. In fact our art-garden area was turned into an Ice

Kitchen one week and the next week we were back to mud! How cool is that! We hope to continue our adventures

both inside and out, this coming month and then . . . we'll be watching for signs of Spring!

We are also in the midst of building our classes for next fall and have a

few spaces still available. If you know families who are looking for a

creative, engaging program for their children, have them give us a call

at 456-6991. We would love to show them all the wonderful things the

children are doing! They might also enjoy nosing around our website:

hpcweekdayschool.org.

In January, Joyful Noise sang songs about ice skating and snow flakes to celebrate the cold weather in January (enjoy these photos from their fun). Now we will shift our focus to love. Whether we have forty children in a drum circle or ten or twelve "ice skating" around the room, we are grateful for the children of this church and all of the love that they share with

us each week.

February is a month of intentional-ly celebrating love, and we will spend our month sharing extra love with the children through music.

Lyric Choir will sing in worship on Feb. 4 and 18, in addition to leading music for communion on the 4th. Hallelujah Choir will sing in worship on Feb. 25, and you may even see the children singing a song to welcome a new baby into our HPC family. We LOVE the month of Feb-ruary!

Thanks to the following youth who have volunteered

to be Bible Buddies Assistants during the 11:00 Wor-

ship Service in February:

February 4th – Robyn Tribolet

February 11th – Charlie Grohmann

February 18th – Katie Crowley

in their homes. STITCH is looking for a volunteer who can help us with simple

sewing machine repairs and general maintenance of our donated machines. If

Our Roots Lock-in has been rescheduled to

February 23rd-24th. Children in 3rd-5th grade

are invited to come celebrate the Holy Spirit

with us! Cost for the event is $20. If you are

available to attend and didn’t sign up for the

January event, please let Doodle know by Feb-

ruary 11th.

Children are invited to lead in communion on Febru-

ary 4th at the 11:00 worship service! Children in 1st

-4th grade can lead in music and prayers and should

be in Sunday School Jan. 28th and February 4th to

learn about communion. 5th graders may help

serve communion. Please let Doodle know ASAP if

you’d like this opportunity (and plan to be in Sunday

School on Jan 28th and February 4th as well).

Following Choirs on February 14th, Children are

invited to stay in the dining room for a dinner of

cheese pizza followed by a shortened “Ash

Wednesday” Worship Service. We will finish din-

ner and worship at the same time as our regular

Ash Wednesday worship service in the Sanctuary.

RSVP’s are helpful if you plan to attend. RSVP by

e-mailing Doodle

We continue Children’s Musical rehearsals on

Sunday afternoons

from 3:00-4:30 each

Sunday afternoon in

February. Please let

Amanda Boyd or

Doodle Harris know

if you’d like to par-

ticipate.

On February 4th, children will make “alleluia” banners in Sunday School. On Sunday, February 11th, (the

last Sunday before Lent starts), children will use these banners in worship. They will carry them out of the

sanctuary during the 11:00 worship service to help us prepare for Lent.

After the banners leave the sanctuary on February 11th, the children will hide them away in the church.

Then, on Easter Sunday morning (April 1st), the children will once again bring the banners into worship to

celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Please join us for this meaningful tradition.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28

AT 7:00P.M.

HPC is thrilled to welcome this outstanding college choir

and their director, Dr. William Nichols.

The choir's reputation for excellence, its many traditions and its ambitious performing, touring

and recording schedule attract a group of talented students for whom choral singing is an

important part of their lives. The thread that binds these students is the joy found in singing together.
