THE BISHOPRIC RETURNS

THE FUGITIVE

HIGHPOINTE EDITION

A blockbuster chase.
A very ordinary parent pickup.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE

The chase is on.

In the movies, a fugitive needs a disguise, a train, and a dramatic soundtrack. In Highpointe, the youth get a Tuesday night and a parent texting, “I’m here.” The bishopric is back on the marquee, all the youth are playing Fugitive together, and Sunday’s schedule is conveniently available without a nationwide search.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 · 10:30AM

Sacrament meeting

After sacrament meeting: Adults and youth attend Sunday School for 25 minutes, followed by 25 minutes in Relief Society, Young Women, or their priesthood quorum. Primary meets throughout the second hour.

Music: Dustin Fuller and Erika Johnston

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 · 7:00PM

Fugitive. All youth. Highpointe.

All Young Men and Young Women are combined this week for Fugitive. Meet at the Highpointe Amenities Center at 7:00pm.

One activity, one neighborhood, and an excellent opportunity to discover whether your sprint is as fast as you remember.

Check with your youth leaders about pickup arrangements and any items to bring.

MINISTERING

Make room for one more.

If you’re staying for choir, invite someone to walk over with you. If you’re heading home, look for someone you can say a real hello to first. A little unhurried attention can make a busy Sunday feel a lot less lonely.

WARD CHOIR · THIS SUNDAY

Stay for the soundtrack.

Practice right after church in the Relief Society room.

Choir is back. Come sing with people who can actually hear you, unlike your usual audience on the other side of the windshield.

NEXT WEEKEND · OCTOBER 3–4

General conference

Saturday and Sunday: 11:00am and 3:00pm Central.

Set aside time to hear messages from Church leaders. General conference replaces regular Sunday ward meetings next weekend.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29 · 6:00PM

Chili Cook Off & Trail of Treats

Highpointe Amenity Center

Bring your appetite. The chili has competition, and the candy has a new route.

For the Trail of Treats, parents will set up seats around the perimeter of the park for children to trick-or-treat, instead of going trunk-to-trunk in the parking lot. The park setup keeps the fun away from the dark circle road and gives everyone more time to visit.

COME, FOLLOW ME · SEPTEMBER 28–OCTOBER 4

“Comfort Ye My People”

Isaiah 40–49

Isaiah speaks to people who feel worn down and forgotten. The Lord promises strength, reminds them that they belong to Him, and assures them He has not forgotten them. These chapters invite us to trust Jesus Christ when our own strength feels thin.

Talk about it: Which promise in Isaiah 40–49 would you want to remember on a difficult day, and why?
