Summer Preaching Series: Celebrating God’s Work through High Pointe July 7 – August 4, 2024
This Sunday, July 21, Marshall Canales
Every summer, we have the privilege of hearing the same gospel from different voices. This year, we have a special blessing. We have invited several men we have deployed to ministry from High Pointe. The purpose of the 2024 summer preaching series is to remember how God has worked in and through your generosity for the sake of Christ and to celebrate the gospel's advancement through those the Lord has allowed us to deploy from High Pointe.
This week, we welcome Marshall Canales, lead pastor of Emmaus Church in Georgetown. Marshall served on our staff as an associate pastor. It will be a joy to hear from Marshall and receive a brief report on how Emmaus is doing.

Our Children’s Ministry is Recruiting!
Our children’s ministries are currently planning and preparing for the fall. Our fall kick-off date for KidsPointe, the Kids’ Life class, and the Children’s Catechism Class is August 25. New volunteers are needed at this time in all areas, including Sunday morning and Sunday evening nursery classes. Members, please contact Erin Wyman for details about serving. We will also have a recruitment table in the front foyer after morning worship, August 4 and 11. Thank you for caring for and ministering to the children of High Pointe!
The High Pointe Institute | Wednesdays, Beginning August 28
The High Pointe Institute (HPI) is a one-year (two semester) discipleship program meant to offer a pathway for growing disciples to be equipped for ministry both in the church and the world. The goal is to form mature disciples who are growing in their knowledge and love for God, who take ownership of High Pointe’s ministries and mission, and who are committed to helping others follow Christ. This program will instill a commitment to Scripture and a better grasp of the biblical storyline, a solid foundation in Christian doctrine, and an increasing ability to connect theology to one’s life, worship, and mission.
HPI is designed for growing disciples of Christ who desire to be equipped for ministry and mission in whatever context God has placed them. ALL men and women are encouraged to participate. HPI is designed with High Pointe members in mind as a preparation for service and leadership. REGISTER HERE.
T2G (Titus 2 groups) starting again in September – Sign up NOW
T2G will start up again in September. But now is the time to sign up! T2G is a discipleship ministry offering gender-specific, intergenerational community among the women of High Pointe. Each group consists of one or two “older” women meeting together with 4-6 “younger” women. The groups meet once a month to encourage women in their faith and to promote deeper relationships among the different generations of women in the church. Each leader has chosen a book that the group will read together over the course of the year (September through May). Please consider joining us for the year ahead.
For more information, please contact Mary Delk at 763-442-0919 or at marybethdelk@gmail.com. We encourage every one of our young women to be involved in T2G and we will help you find a group that works well for you.

Resources of the Week
- “You’ve Got Self:” How the Internet Cultivates Expressive Individualism in All of Us – Samuel James
- We live in an individualistic culture where the highest good is to be able to express ourselves how we want. Just think of how people identify themselves with pronouns. In this article, Samuel James helps us see how the internet is shaping all of us.
- Pursue Wandering Sheep – Jeff Lacine
- Too many Christians are confused about the purpose of church discipline. In once sense, we should be encouraging one another as we live life together. That includes loving correction and rebuke when appropriate. Still, some Christians struggle with the final formal step of church discipline – excommunication (removal from membership). In this brief article, pastor Jeff Lacine reminds us, as we say at High Pointe, church discipline is a rescue operation. Therefore, we are to pursue wandering sheep.
- Missions: “Millions are Dying Without Christ”: Thinking Through a Popular But Insufficient Reason to Move Overseas – Ken Caruthers
- What are the proper motivations to do missions? Is it enough simply to have a love for the lost? In this article, Ken Caruthers helps us think through biblical motivation for going on mission and the church’s role.
- Song of the Month: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Begin praying as you prepare to gather with us this Sunday at 10:00 am.
