We want to invite everyone to come because it is an inter-denominational message, it is Christ centered and bible based all denominations are welcome,” Ross said.
This will be the first Fields of Faith event for Highland Schools and the community is invited to attend. The event will take place at Highland High School on the Rebel Memorial Football Field at 5 p.m., tonight.
