HIGHLIGHTS January 13, 2019 And a voice came from heaven, You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased. It is one thing to know that you are loved and cared for and valued. It is another thing to hear it. Sometimes we need to hear words of love and blessing in order to really know it, for it to really sink in, for it to reach the level of our soul.

Your kindness and generosity were appreciated by 11 individuals or families which included 6 children, ranging in age from young adults to a toddler. Thank you also to the Saturday Lunch team for sharing their bounty, we were able to give food hampers to six families who truly appreciated them. All the gifts were graciously received. I consider it a privilege to represent Highlands United Church and pass on to you the many sincere "Thank yous " and Christmas Greetings I received. Most Sincerely, Lora Gardiner
