Our Missions Ministry will be helping Newton Elementary with a toiletry drive. During January, we are collecting new items for this cause. Please leave your donations in the box in the Narthex at HIghwater Church. Items suggested include: deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, socks, underwear for K-5 boys and girls, shampoo/soap, hair bursh, feminine products (mostly pads), Band-Aids, toilet paper, tissues, and chapstick.
There will be only one service on December 25 and January 1. Please join us in worship at 10:30am. Please note: Services will be cancelled if the is a Snow Emergency Level 2 or 3.
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
