Welcome, Pastor Robert Cline

We are excited to welcome pastor Robert Cline to Austin and to High Pointe. Robert and Rona moved to Austin in early June. Robert will begin his official duties as our senior associate pastor on June 16. Here are some ways you may welcome them:

• Introduce yourself.
• Invite them (together and individually) to a meal, coffee, your home.
• Set up a time to meet with Robert during office hours.
• Ask them how you can help them in the transition.
• Get to know Robert and Rona.
• Show them around town.
• Pray for them and their transition to a new place, new church, and new friends and church family.
• Pray for Robert and his role of senior associate pastor as he seeks to clarify and strengthen discipleship pathways at High Pointe.
• Participate in the church-wide discipleship life of High Pointe: Life Classes, Life Groups, High Pointe Institute.

 
Thank You VBS Workers!
We’re enjoying a wonderful time of Vacation Bible School that ends tonight with a Family Night worship rally at 6pm, then our outdoor festival where we will have the opportunity to welcome visiting families from our community who’ve attended this year’s VBS. All are welcome to attend.

Thank you to each VBS leader and team member! You’ve helped make this year’s church-wide outreach event one to remember. Each of you has lovingly served as unto the Lord and for His Glory. May He bless you richly and allow us all to see the fruit of new life from this year’s VBS! A heartfelt thank you to Noell Alley who couldn’t be with us for most of this week but who still put in much time and creative effort, along with her decorating team, to make the building fun and inviting for everyone. And a special thank you to Kaitlyn Wehe and her skit team who taught us truths about God’s amazing grace through “scallywag” pirates!
