Christmas Eve Services are cancelled
Unfortunately, it looks like it will be too dangerous tonight to be out on the roads. As a result, our leaders have decided it is best to cancel in-person worship for both the 5:30 and 10:30 pm services. However, we will offer short lessons and a carols service streaming on Facebook at 5:30pm live from Pastor Gladys’ home. You can find us on Facebook at Highwater Church – a UCC Congregation. Set a reminder and tune in at 5:30 pm tonight to celebrate the birth of our Savior. If Licking County has returned to a Level 1 by 8am tomorrow
