It’s that time of year again! Youth Camp is happening at Schreiner University June 5-10. We are so excited to be headed back to in-person camp!
All youth-aged students (completed 6th grade through completed 12th grade) may attend.
The cost of camp this year will be $315 per student. We will be doing fundraisers so the youth can help pay their way to camp, so be ready when those fundraisers come around! If money is an issue for your family, please do not let that be the reason your student does not go to camp. Contact Masyn (contact info below) to get it figured out. We want all students that want to attend to be able to be there.
Contact Rev. Masyn Evans-Clements at masynec@thechurchathp.org or (432) 288-5823 to let her know your student wants to attend, or with any questions or concerns!

Discipleship Now
2022-04-01 18:00 - 2022-04-03 12:00
We are SO EXCITED that this year we will be doing Discipleship Now at The Church @ Highland Park!
Discipleship Now is a weekend-long event for Youth ages 6th grade through 12th grade. It’s a wonderful time of a lot of fun, making friends, and spiritual formation. Over the weekend, they will be broken up into groups and stay at host homes of church members, and have group leaders that will lead their group time. I will share the schedule for the weekend once it has been finalized.
Our theme this year is “Wild” and is based on a poem by Mary Oliver that says “what will you do with this one wild and precious life?”
We are bringing in a speaker named Kelsey Brown. She’s so excited to join us for the weekend! Kelsey attended seminary at Logsdon Seminary in Abilene, Texas with Masyn.
We really hope to see all our youth and their friends here for this weekend! If they have other events during the weekend, they will be able to leave and come back. You will just need to fill out a check out form so group leaders are aware about when their students are leaving and coming back. Sign up on the form here!
The cost will be $40/student.
If you are willing to be a host home (probably somewhere around 5 students) or a group leader, contact Masyn at masynec@thechurchathp.org

We will take a symbolic walk around the parking lot after worship on March 6th. The CROP Hunger Walk is the only nationwide Walk that addresses hunger both locally and globally. One example of how funds are used is in the Dominican Republic is supporting families to develop their own gardens, farms, and fishing ponds so they can have life-changing food solutions.
Last year the Austin walk raised $81,500 and the hope is to even better this year!
