Yesterday there was a gathering at the church to celebrate the life of Margot Thomson. Many of you will remember Margot and Sandy who had regularly attended Highlands since the mid-80s. Their kids were married at Highlands. Grandkids baptized among us. They had been part of our community for nearly 50 years. And it was such a gift to gather and celebrate the blessing of those years and Margot�s life and character. Her granddaughter referred to her as a �sparkplug.� Don�t you dream of someday being referred to by a grandchild as a sparkplug? read more

All the mysteries of the universe are, one by one, being explained by science. read more
