Will be held in room A1

We're having our second ever Blueberry Brunch!

These brunches are informal gatherings around yummy food for folks 50 and over. Just as blueberries are high in anti-oxidants and good for our health so are Blueberry Brunches good for our wellbeing.

SIGN UP HERE to be part of the Church Work Day!

Our church building is a blessing to us and from time to time it needs a little extra love and care. So, as a way to steward this space in community, we’re gonna have a Church Work Day! There will be projects that might need some skill or experience, projects for kids and families, and some general projects for anyone to jump in with.

If you have experience in a trade like carpentry, landscaping, plumbing, electrical, etc. and would like to contribute that skill, please reach out to pastor Jake Dodson

Come April 21 our lead pastor, Adam Hendrix, will have been in ministry at Highway for six whole months! Our Shepherd Board wanted to set aside time on this day to come together and share about the health of our church, share stories from various ministries, touch on finances, update on the search for a new Family Pastor, and pray together.

Additionally, the Stanford blood drive will be happening on campus at the same time, so set aside April 21 as a special date and come engage in all things Highway!

As part of living as a blessing to those who are hurting in this area that God has called us, Highway will be partnering with Stanford Blood Center to host a blood donation drive.

Blueberry Brunches are informal gatherings around good food for folks age 50 and over. It's a place to make and deepen friendships and we're having our first one ever after church on Sunday, April 14, in room A1.

Just as blueberries are high in anti-oxidants and good for our health so are Blueberry Brunches good for our wellbeing. I mean, the effects of loneliness and lack of good connections are equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day! So, if you're 50 and over, we hope you’ll join us. CLICK HERE for more information and to sign up.

Additionally, we need some volunteers to bring food items like soup or bread, as well as some helping hands to serve food at the event itself. Follow THIS LINK to join the volunteer team.

Getting to know a new church and finding your place in the community can be a unique challenge. If you are new here at Highway, we want to meet you in that process!

This gathering will be in the Highway church office, which is just across the grass behind the auditorium (entrance is beside the deck), and will start about 15 minutes after our morning worship service concludes (guessing around 11:45).

Proclaiming Christ’s victory over sin and death is the joyful Easter Sunday pinnacle for followers of Jesus!

Come for worship at 10:30am and stay for a special time of community. We’ll host an egg hunt for the little ones, starting around 11:30, and then share a delicious pancake feast together. Hope you can take part! 

If you can help with setting up tables and serving food that would be great! SIGN UP HERE to help out.

This one-day event is a creative engagement with the historical church practice of prayer remembering Christ's sufferings and death. Each step along the prayer walk will provide a setting to pray or to engage in a physical experience (like tasting gall or striking a nail). These all serve as a way to help us consider with new eyes Christ’s journey to the cross. The evening will conclude with a time of worship at 7:30pm.

Help is needed the Sunday and Thursday before to prepare and set up the prayer walk. SIGN UP HERE if you can help

We are separated from Jesus’ last week before His crucifixion by over 2,000 years, which feels like a vast chasm. But what if it didn’t have to feel that way? What if we could bridge that gulf--not by time travel, but by encountering Jesus differently?

Join others from Highway for a Holy Week retreat hosted by our friends at WellSpring ministries and held at Menlo Church. We’ll enter into moments of that pivotal week and meet Jesus--and allow Him to meet us--in profoundly personal ways. REGISTER HERE.

Come and support the hungry in our immediate community with a team from Highway. We prepare and serve a hot morning meal at Hope’s Corner in downtown Mountain View on the first Wednesday of each month. We start at 7am and end at 9:30am.

In the ancient church calendar, the days leading up to Easter are called the “Season of Lent”. This is a time where we focus our awareness on the frailties and brokenness of our world, and of our hearts, and consider the need we each have for Christ.

This season begins on Ash Wednesday and we invite you to gather at 7:30am on Wed, Feb 14, for a simple 30-minute morning service. We will experience songs, readings, prayers, and the administration of ashes. One of the unique aspects of this service is that we carry from it the sign of the cross on our foreheads throughout the day. This mark both invites conversation with others and it also causes us to remember, whenever we might catch our reflection, that it is God’s gift of life that sustains us.
