Members’ Meeting This Sunday, April 30, 2023

This Sunday night we will gather at 5:00 pm for our regular family meeting. Yes, our members meetings are really family meetings. They are when we come together as a church to handle family matters like welcoming new members, sending off members to other churches, hearing reports about the work the Lord is doing n the life of the church and with our gospel partners, recognizing and affirming elders and deacons, celebrating the Lord’s grace through your generous giving, and caring for one another as a church.

If you’re a member, no matter how new, we encourage you to be with us. Help us care for one another. Learn about new members coming into the life of High Pointe. Find out how you may engage in missions. Get to know the newest deacons and elders. Hear about the ministries of High Pointe. And engage in the decision-making process of our church.

Note: This Sunday night we will be voting to amend the 2023 budget. We are not asking you to increase the budget. We are only asking you to reallocate funds to retain Matt Rolfe on our staff. To read the email that went out two weeks ago, CLICK HERE.

High Pointe Women’s Retreat | May 5-6

Giving at High Pointe
God is generous, and so he calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are and helps proclaim the gospel. We want to glorify God in every area of our lives, including what we do with our finances. But as you may have noticed, we do not take up a collection on Sundays at High Pointe. Consequently, we’ve been receiving questions as to how to give. There are several ways you may give:

1. Offering Boxes in Auditorium – You may place your offering in an offering box.
2. Mail – You may mail your contribution to the church office.
3. Text/Online – You may give by texting 84321 (it will require a first-time set up).
4. Your Bank – You may give through your own bank via Bill Pay or ACH.

If you have any questions, go to this LINK. Our financial staff is also available to help or answer your questions. You may call the church office at 512-837-7725.
