Highland Park Community Church

Tuesday, January 11 @ 6:30pm. Come gather with us to talk about where we’ve been, where we are going, and how we are getting there. It is important – your thoughts are important – your contribution is invaluable. See you there. A mtg packet will be distributed this Sunday after the service.

This is our 5th annual Fall Harvest celebration in Highland Park!

Come on out to the annual fall camping trip!  This year we’re going to Bucks County’s Tohickon Valley Park.  See Keith for additional info.

On Sunday Oct. 10th we’ll hold church at the campsite.

Run the Gates: We are taking Church to the streets and helping our community with this Fundraising event on Sunday morning, June 6th. If you are helping out with the pretzel/water table arrive at Forsythia Gate Park by 8am. If you are helping with handing out water along the course arrive at the Swopes (96 Forsythia Dr S) by 9am.

It is Good Times!

April 4th @ 10AM

We will gather on Easter Sunday to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, our King and our Salvation.  If God has given you the Grace to know Him in a new way over this year since Easter ReLaunch 2009, then extend that invitation to another person so they too may experience His Grace in the year to come. Grab some Invite Cards at church on Sunday to pass onto your circle of friends and family!

Good Friday, April 2nd: Stations of the Cross 6am-6pm

This is a great way to pause the busy-ness of our lives and take 30 minutes to remember the significance of the Easter Season. Walking the Stations on Good Friday is a spiritual practice that invites us to pray using our whole body, senses, memory, touch, smell, etc. If you have never walked the Stations of the Cross why not stretch yourself this Easter and experience a new way to hear an old, old Story.

Saturday, April 3rd:  Easter Egg Hunt 12-2:30 pm

Our second annual Easter Egg Hunt will be held the Saturday before Easter Sunday! This event is FREE to our community, so gather your egg baskets, grab a kid or two, and come out for a fun afternoon to celebrate the season of New Birth.

Due to the snow there will be no church on Feb. 7th.
