MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Consider this a personal invitation from me to you to be a part of the first CHRISTMAS PARTY of the year here at High Pointe. The Worship Ministry will Kick Off the 2009 Christmas Season on Wednesday August 26th at 7:00 PM and I want you to be a part of it. We will hear this years Christmas musical FEAR NOT, give away a few gifts and enjoy a great time of Food, Fun and Fellowship. CHRISTMAS AT HIGH POINTE is a major outreach event for us and I hope you will consider being a part of it. From our first rehearsal in August to our performance in December our prayer is that God would impact us through the truth of the Gospel presented in the music, and in turn we might be used to impact the lives of others.

So, here is the offer. Come Wednesday August 26th at 7:00 PM enjoy the music and the party and then see if this sounds like something God would have you invest your time in. Whether your interest lean toward CHOIR, INSTRUMENTAL (band/orchestra) or TECH (sound/lighting/video) this KICK OFF/ PARTY is for you. Child care will be provided, and a good time will be had by all. If you have any questions I would love to hear from you. You can drop me a note at robert@hpbcglobal.org, or give me a call here at the office at 837-7725. It is a joy and an honor to serve with you here at High Pointe. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours!

I am and continue to be…
POSITIVELY HIS!

FEAR NOT:Encountering The Christ Of Christmas
Words and Music: Randy Vader / Jay Rouse

The wise men offered their precious gifts and they worshipped. And so it has been for two thousand years. People of wisdom still seek Him, still experience that exceeding great joy, still bring Him their offerings. The celebration of the birth of Christ has taken on many traditions since that evening in Bethlehem. Ritual has once again threatened to overshadow reality. The excitement as Christmas approaches is sometimes equal to the letdown as the season passes. Christmas is not about all of the things we bring to the celebration. Christmas is about what He brings. Christmas is about a God in Heaven who loved us enough to send His Son to die for us. Christmas is about deliverance from fear. Christmas is about returning to the heart of worship--Christmas is about offering my heart--Christmas is about Jesus. Fear not: for behold, we bring you good tidings of great joy.
