"A Word from THE Word"

Jason Swiggart

For the next two weeks, David Self will be away and our guest speaker will be Jason Swiggart. You may remember if you have been coming to HighPoint for a long time that Jason used to be the regular speaker at HighPoint prior to David and usually speaks a couple of times a year. Come and hear what the Lord puts on his heart for you.

Join us this Wednesday as we meet in the lower level of the 1010 Lamar Building. Lunch service begins at 11:30 and our speaker starts promptly at 12:10 and ends promptly at 12:40. The Bar-b-q lunch buffet is only $8 or you can bring a lunch.

History

From 1927 to 1977, Houston's First Baptist Church met at Fannin and Lamar in downtown Houston. In the early 1970s, a popular event was a noon Bible study led by Bro. John Bisagno in the church's Fellowship Hall on Wednesdays.

When the church sold that property and moved to its current location on the Katy Freeway, Deacon Bill Morris negotiated free meeting space in the basement of the Lamar Building so the church could continue the popular Bible study.

Today, HighPoint Bible Study meets on that site, providing downtown workers with physical and spiritual nourishment. It's truly the high point of their week! Everybody is invited—whether you attend Houston's First or not!
