Hello to all of our campuses across the great state of Alabama and in Georgia,

and as always a big hello to the men and women in the Alabama Department of Corrections.

We love you all so very much.

And happy Memorial Day weekend.

Today, as we gather, we honor those who have served and are serving our country, but especially those

who gave their lives for our freedom.

Today we remind ourselves that freedom is it free, and we thank God for the brave sacrifice

of those who gave their lives so we could be free.

May God bless their families, and may God bless the United States of America.

Amen.

Today marks our ninth year in a row

hosting what we call Young Communicators Weekend.

Now, what is that?

Well, at Highlands, we deeply believe

in developing young leaders, those who have a

call of God on their lives for ministry. And today we're thrilled to feature four different speakers

who are students right here at Highlands College. And the theme for the day is the heartbeat of

Highlands College, and that is living a life of eternal impact.

Now listen, many of these young leaders

have never had an opportunity like this before.

So as a church family, we get to support them

as they're being developed as ministry leaders.
