Invitation It is our custom at the Highland Church of Christ to offer an invitation at the conclusion of the sermon. We want to meet your spiritu-al needs, and the invitation is a way for you to let us know how we can help.

Here are a few reasons you might want to respond to the invitation.

• To be saved

• You just want to know more about the Church of Christ

• To begin your walk with God

• To renew or restore your commitment to Christ

• You want the church to pray for you as you deal with struggles in your life

• You want to restore your relationship with God

Several have already responded this week. If you have any spiritual needs in your life, we invite you to respond to the invitation or pri-vately let one of the elders or ministers of this congregation know of your desires.

We urge you to consider your relationship with God and respond to His invitation!

And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. (Luke 9:23)

Michael, Eddy, Pat
