SOAR TO THE HEIGHTS A publication from Highland Heights United Methodist Church, Altus, OK Vol. 4, Issue 5 September/October 2015 Micah’s Meditations As the winds begin to twirl through the leaves and fall draws close, we will gather for Sunday wor- ship and fellowship, to watch football games, for community events, for our UMW Pumpkin Sale later in September, for the Blessing of the Animals and Hayride in October. We also gather with brothers and sisters from our area United Methodist churches to serve the WOSC students during Wesley lunches. How wonderful it is to join together with our brothers and sisters in Christ! Beginning this fall, Highland Heights UMC has the wonderful occasion to join together with our brothers and sisters from Altus First UMC, Altus Grace UMC, Blair UMC and Duke UMC. We join with these churches to form the West Missional Area of the Wichitas District. Being a part of the West Missional Area will allow us to join together in new opportunities of ministry and mission with our sister churches. Stay tuned for more information! With great excitement, I invite you to mark your calendars for Sunday, September 20 th , as the five churches of the West Missional Area will come together at Altus Grace UMC (620 S. Park Lane) for a potluck meal, beginning at 6 p.m. A worship celebration will follow. Our Wichitas District Superintendent, Rev. Chris Tiger, will share the message. Our church conference will also be held that evening at Grace UMC. Let us gather with our brothers and sisters for a wonderful evening of worship and fellowship. In this upcoming autumn season, may each time we gather as the children of God be a time that we are strengthened by the loving presence of Jesus, and may we share that good news with everyone we meet!
