Sunday Service

Last week the pastor at my church asked me to allow him to interview me during the service. I was reluctant to do so at first, as I really don't like speaking in front of large groups and prefer to remain anonymous, despite my Speech Communication minor from Cal Poly, as Josh so lovingly pointed out. I took time to decide, relying on my faith to point me to the right direction and reflecting on a previous message that that the pastor offered discussing how we should lift our weaknesses to God and He will help us to prevail over them. I did this and felt very good about my decision to do the interview. It was the right decision. The congregation was very accepting of what I had to say. People were introducing themselves to me and offering to help my family transition into this new community. There was an amazing outpouring of support for my family.

I found Highlands at the lowest point in my life about three months ago. I love the atmosphere, the newness, the modern feel, the messages that are not preachy but conversational and relative, the modern music, the references to our modern lives, everything. I feel as though God really brought me to this place to help me through this low time in my life. And now, I don't know how I could have ever made it through without this assurance and this support. I have decided to become a member of this church, something that I have not done in my adult life. I am greatful for the opportunity and feel a new security in my life.
