The

WOND

WRIV Well, welcome today to church everybody. We are so glad that you are with us today.

It's Church Day, it's Sunday.

In my opinion, it is the best day of the week.

And so a big hello to those of you that are joining us,

wherever you are today online.

Also want to say hi and welcome those

in our correctional facilities here in Alabama.

We are so grateful to have you with us.

Just a reminder, your family to us. We love you so much, and we're grateful that you are with us

today. It is going to be an amazing day. I am excited to be with you today. I'm honored to have

this opportunity to share God's word. And just by way of reminder, I know Pastor Lane already said this,

but Pastor Chris will be back next Sunday speaking to us online, and it's going to be an amazing

Sunday as well. But today I have the privilege of bringing God's word and just could not be

more excited about it. And my name is Blake, if I haven't had the privilege to meet you. And

tell you my story

quickly of Highlands. I have been around Highlands a long, long time. I've been here for 15 years,

not as long as Pastor Lane has, but I've been at Highlands a long time. And I was talking to

somebody last week just about how long we had been here and what our first serve expression on the dream

team was at Highlands. And for me, it goes all the way back to Mountain Brook High School.

I served on the setup team. So shout out to all of our setup teams, all the portable campuses
