We celebrated our Ten Year Anniversary as New Highland Baptist Church on Sept. 28th!  (Click "Read More") We had a great day of worship and celebration. 

During the latter part of the sermon, we showed a video clip of Derek Redmond in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona.  Derek sustained a race-ending injury and his father, who was in the stands, made his way onto the track, embraced his son, and helped him cross the finish line.    Rick Weinberg with ESPN.com states

This afternoon I received a call from a colleague in the pastorate who serves a large church in an urban setting.  He just needed to talk.  As he was in his office this morning finishing up the preparations for the funeral of a church member, someone walked into his office and interrupted him to complain about something from the worship service the day before.  My friend handled it with grace and tried to get back to the funeral service.  When he called me, he was in his car on the way to the graveside.  

The weekend of April 18-20 thirteen men from our church and community went down to Pinehurst, NC for a men's golf retreat.  This was our second annual trip.  We had a great time of fellowship, sharing, and golfing!
