The Gathering 

Women’s Ministry of Highland Baptist Church 

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:23-25

Gathering for Discipleship as we connect with, encourage, and learn from one another.
