As I write this last “Pastor’s
Paragraphs” before leaving
you, I am reminded of the
words in the book, Christmas
Gi : Happiness is not a place, but in memory it is
almost always associated with a place. Much of the
happiness of the lives of the McDaniel family will be
associated with Highland Bap st Church for as long
as we live and remember. You, by your goodness and
grace, have made this a happy place for Geraldine,
Gerrie and me.
This past year has been a gi from God and from this
congrega on. When I le in “re rement” in 2002, I
would have never imagined coming back as your
interim pastor. My goal and agenda in coming back
was to help prepare this congrega on for the calling
of a new pastor, which task you completed last
Sunday. You have called a pastor, Rev. Byron Greene,
who has the experience, skills and love for Christ’s
Church to enable Highland to con nue to grow in
spirit and in numbers. The vote you gave Rev.
Greene speaks volumes about your confidence in him
and the unity that binds you together.
And now one last pastoral exhorta on: remain as
faithful to Highland Bap st Church in the future as
you have been in the past. This community needs for
this church to be vital, vibrant and strong. By God’s
grace and your commitment, it will be.
My last Sunday with you will be October 12. My
policy has been to leave a church a month prior to
coming of the new pastor. I want to get out of the
way and allow these coming weeks to be on the
prepara on for the coming of the pastor—not on my
leaving.
We will miss you, hold you in our hearts forever, and
keep you in our prayers.
With love and gra tude, Pastor Mac

From David’s Desk…
As we enter fall, we also enter a me of year in
our church where there are many opportuni es for service.
These range from one- me events to ongoing. Serving
others is one way that we show our concern for others and
ul mately our concern for Jesus. (Ma hew 25:31-46). Please
look at the opportuni es below, pick one of them and
par cipate in that with your child. I know from experience
that teens’ natural ins nct many mes is not to serve others,
but as a youth ministry we hope to encourage a culture of
placing others first. If you have any ques ons or want to
know how you can be involved in these opportuni es, email
me at [email protected] or call me at the
church office

First, please join me in welcoming Bre Hall as
our Preschool Sunday School Director. Bre
previously served as a teacher in a threeyear old class and has now accepted a new
assignment in the preschool ministry.
Welcome, Bre !
“SAFETY IS A HUGE PRIORITY FOR PARENTS,
churches, and ministries today—as it should
be. But child-development experts note that all our fears and
over-sheltering have likely s fled kids’ growth.
When
protec on crosses the line into overprotec on, kids fail to take
risks, explore their abili es, and grow as young leaders.
Psychologists and business leaders say a lack of risks is,
ironically, dangerous. “The biggest risk is not taking any risk,”
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has said, “In a world that’s
changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to
fail is not taking risks.” This point is only amplified for ma ers
of faith. Sheltered children don’t become independent,
crea ve thinkers and doers—the type of disciples who are
eager to make new disciples.
Their talents remain
undiscovered or buried, rather than invested and
mul plied.” (Excerpt from Children’s Ministry Magazine ar cle
by Stephanie Mar n)
The above ar cle caught my eye because it spoke to our plans
to provide age appropriate opportuni es for our children to
become more involved in missions. That can be a scary
thought for some parents and kids’ leaders (me included).
However, it is a great opportunity for the en re family to come
together to do the Lord’s work. Our TeamKID ministry is being
retooled to include a missions emphasis; we will not only learn
about missions we will be on mission for Jesus Christ. As
James said, we will “be doers of the word, and not hearers
only” (James 1:22). Be in prayer that God would guide us to
the missions opportuni es He has appointed for us. And if you
and your family have a mission that you’re already involved in,
by all means share that with me. Who knows, that may be
where God wants our children to serve.
To God be the glory, Deryle
