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:

Offering Boxes in Auditorium – You may place your offering in an offering box.
Mail – You may mail your contribution to the church office.
Text/Online – You may give by texting 84321 (it will require a first-time setup).
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.

On-Call Pastor
To better care for you, High Pointe, we have an “on-call” pastor available for emergencies after office hours and on weekends. To reach the on-call pastor, call 512-837-7725, extension 1.

Resources of the Week

A Catechism for Boys and Girls
- This is the catechism we provide for High Pointe families. Use this summer to start teaching your children through question and answer and memorization.
If You Care About Abuse, Watch Your Language
- When we call everything abuse, we do a disservice to real victims of abuse. We must learn to use language carefully.

A New Christian Authoritarianism: Christian Nationalism, Theonomy, and Magisterial Protestantism
- There is a lot of conversation about Christian Nationalism, the Christian’s role in culture and politics, and how Old Testament laws should or should not be applied today. How are we to think about these things? This e-journal has lots of articles that will serve as a beginning point to understand the terms and conversations taking place.

Begin praying as you prepare to gather with us this Sunday at 10:00 am.

Love,
