Happenings at High Street November, 2015

God is the Harvest by Pastor Nathan Decker

"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle

will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

-Buddha

Autumn is my favorite season. Raking leaves and Pumpkin

Pie are still a joy to me. I like yard work because you can see

where you’ve been. Not all jobs give you that satisfaction.

Sometimes when you give, you don’t know what your efforts

have accomplished.

I wonder if that is how a leaf might feel. One single

leaf gets lost in the pile, but that leaf has served his or her

purpose. It’s worked hard, held on during the rainy windy

days, given its offering to the Tree who first gave it life,

purpose, and meaning. Still in all the leaves that fall, is it

possible to get lost in the pile?

Sometimes we in church get lost in the forest. We are like that leaf. We don’t realize what a

big impact our contribution is making in God’s Kingdom. This is especially true when it comes to the

church budget. Numbers, figures, and line items - my Lord! It’s really easy to throw it up into the

wind, hoping someone will come along and rake it up! Yet, God has called us all to come to the table,

sit down, and feast. Like pumpkin pie, budgets are best understood in slices.

For 2016, our total asking budget pie is $404,980. When you

give a dollar to the church’s pie, here’s how it’s sliced up:

Ministry Programs 4% Staff 45%

Missions 16% Administration 35%

I like to think about this pie from God the Farmer’s

perspective. On a farm you have to have seed. That’s our

Missions. Our missions are our apportionments that support

Christ’s work near and far. We have missionaries from Asia to Appalachia. As a church we help the

poor and hungry locally and globally as well as raise our voice against the system that keeps people in

such dire living conditions. This is where we impact our community and nation by changing the cycle

of poverty in which so many live.

Seeds need fertilizer to grow. That’s our Ministry Programs. These funds support inspiring

worship, music, age level ministries, Christian education, pastoral care, evangelism,

continued from page 2

and Spiritual formation. These are the places we grow disciples so that Christ’s great Kingdom

shall come on Earth. Recently we’ve studied the Gospel of Mark and Psalms. I can’t help but

believe that many of us are meeting Jesus again for the first time. We’ve rebooted our Youth

ministry and are in prayer about where God may grow that ministry. Growth comes from good

doses of fertilizer in the right spots in the field.

Of course there are Hired Hands, the staff. This slice provides for a pastor who will lead,

teach, and provide care. An administrative assistant in the office is there to be the voice of Jesus

on the other end of the phone when someone calls our church. We have staff to play and teach

music so that we, too, may lift our voices with the angels. The Janitor cleans up after our

activities, while the Nursery worker makes sure that the littlest angels are safe and know God loves

them. We’re a mid-size church, and I’m so excited that it takes so many to get the work done!

All farms have to have Barns and buildings, where behind the scenes work takes place.

This is where the tools are kept, the animals are given shelter, and when the harvest comes: where

the grain is brought in for the Farmer to see. This is the work of administrative funds. Our

building provides a living witness, not just on Sundays but throughout the week in Narcotics

Anonymous, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Relay for Life, community meetings, mom’s

day out, not to mention when church folks use it for weddings, funerals, and fellowship! So many

things are just there and we often forget where they come from: bulletins, newsletters, heat and

A/C, keeping instruments in tune, and the community aware.

In 2016, we are going to be a very active farm! This budget is a significant increase from

2015, and a challenge to us at High Street. Like the single leaf, it would be easy for us to fall from

the Tree in despair saying, “I’ve done all I can, and it still amounts to nothing.” The Tree gave us

life, purpose, and meaning. The Tree is God. Each time we give to God, each leaf is a stroke of

God’s generosity to the world. God is in the Harvest. Where do you see the Lord?

“The Harvest is plentiful, but the Workers are few.”

- Matthew 9:37

PENNY COLLECTION FOR JANEL ESPINOSA

Our penny collection for Janel Espinosa, the child we sponsor from the

Dominican Republic, is going pretty well. We are almost to our goal of

$180.00 for this year. This money goes to support Janel for a year of

schooling at the Bombita School in the Dominican Republic. Without our

sponsorship, he would not be able to attend school because his family cannot

afford the cost to do so.

This ongoing project at High Street has been active for about 15 years and

so far we have supported four children. Please keep bringing those pennies

(or other change) in, all year long. There is a brass penny bucket on the

Sunday School desk right as you walk into the children’s wing off the

narthex. You may also drop them by the church office during the week.

Thanks so much for your support!

There is a copy on the bulletin board near the Open Door Café of the recent newsletter from COPA, the

organization that provides for and runs the two schools in the Dominican Republic that Janel attends.

Reverend Connie Di Leo of the Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church is in charge of this

ministry.

THE BACKPACK PROGRAM

Our sponsorship of 50 children for the Backpack Program at S.P. Morton Elementary School in

Franklin is going well. We have completed our first month and everything went smoothly. At our

first “packing session” we had a great turnout and even had a special guest, Jason Chandler, the

principal at S.P. Morton. He was very interested in and impressed with the program, and he

expressed how grateful he was on behalf of these food-insecure children for what we, as a church

family, are doing.

As you may remember, to sponsor these children, there is a financial commitment as well. To

provide the food for the backpacks twice a month for 10 months out of the year, the cost is $108

per child. So far, for this year, we are a little over halfway towards our goal of $5400. You may

sponsor one child or give any amount you wish to help us reach our goal. If you write a check,

please make it payable to High Street UMC and make a notation that it is for the Backpack

Program. You may put it in the offering plate on Sunday morning, mail or bring it by the church

office during the week. Thanks so much for your generous support of this mission project for our

local children. Our next “packing session” will be held on Tuesday evening, November 3, in the

church Fellowship Hall at 5:00 p.m. If you can get there early to help set up, that would be great.

Also, feel free to bring a friend! This is a great way to invite others to show them what High

Street Church is all about!

LAND USE UPDATE

June Fleming and many other citizens spoke briefly at the Planning Commission meeting on October 8 in

regard to the rezoning application that has been submitted by the Hampton Roads Development. She

expressed our position that High Street United Methodist Church does not support the proposal that has

been submitted. She said that HSUMC does support economic development and creating jobs.

However, the application has not been vetted, nor is it sound or reasonable for anyone to approve

rezoning to industrial use.

The public, along with the planning commission, had many questions and concerns related to the zoning

application. As we understand it, currently, those questions have been submitted to the developer who

will be taking the next month to answer them. Therefore, the originally planned November Public

Hearing will NOT be held. However, we encourage everyone to attend the November 10 Planning

Commission and continue to stay informed and involved in the process as it moves along.

Your support is appreciated and encouraged. For additional information, please contact June Fleming

at 757-516-2687 or Jane Riddick-Fries at 757-630-8711. If you would like to review the application that

has been presented, please get a copy from the church office.

** A public hearing on the Rezoning Application submitted by Hampton Roads Development to rezone

the 439 acres next to Riverdale Elementary School along Camp Parkway is tentatively scheduled for

December 10 at the Planning Commission Meeting at 7:30 pm at the Southampton County Adminis-

trative Offices. Everyone is encouraged to attend and be a part of the process and future growth of our

community.

United Methodist Women

Our UMW members are back in full swing with all the fall activities. We all enjoyed a wonderful UMW

Sunday on October 11. Cara Butler did a fantastic job of coordinating the event. Mary Burton spoke to us

about her mission trip to Cambodia this year. Mary was a wonderful speaker and she certainly inspired us

with her message as well as her youth. We recognized Cara Butler for her outstanding work in our church.

Please congratulate her when you see her.

The Daytime UMW will meet on Monday, November 2 in the Fellowship Hall. We will enjoy coffee and

conversation at 9:30 and our meeting will begin at 10:00. Our program will be about the World Thank

Offering and a surprise “hands on” activity for our shut-ins. Please join us and plan to deliver a goodie to

someone who will definitely appreciate a short visit and a treat.

The Working Women’s Group will meet on November 23 at 5:30 in the library.

Mark your calendars for November 14, 2015. The Men’s Brunswick Stew Sale is that day. The UMW will

be having a bake sale, our annual pecan sale, and a gently used purse sale. We are adding scarves and

jewelry this year. Please see if you have items to donate and also plan to make a purchase. We will also be

selling fresh apples. Plan to bake something for the sale, shop for goodies, and help out with our projects.

We need your help with this even more this year since we will also have a booth at the Downtown Fall

Festival on the same day. Let’s work together to make this a huge success.

We always welcome new members. Plan to join one of our groups if you are not a member. We have a

wonderful group of ladies who work and play together in Christian Fellowship.

525,600 MINUTES

“525,600 minutes, 525,600 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure,

measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights,

in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In 525,600 minutes, how do you measure a year in the life?”

I have borrowed these lyrics from one of my favorite songs “Seasons of Love” from the

Broadway musical, Rent. November 5th will mark nine years since our sweet Carter’s

journey to Heaven began. If we follow the songs lyrics, there would be 4,730,400 minutes

that he has been gone from us! I can say that of those minutes, not very many pass that we

don’t think of him, remember something he did or said, shed a tear, laugh, hear a song he

liked, or look at his picture and wonder what he would look like after nine years. He

would be almost 24, a young man! Thankfully, Josh Turner and Jake Pittman indulge me

with bear hugs from time to time (they grew up with Carter and are his age and I imagine

his height).

So, with those minutes in mind, I urge you to live your minutes to the fullest. Use them to

tell folks you love them, give extra hugs, be kind to others, be quiet and listen to all the

sounds around you, watch the sun set, stay up till midnight, share a cup of coffee with

someone, think of a Carter story and smile, and especially, take time to pray. In the 14

years or 7,358,400 minutes that we had Carter with us, he filled our hearts with much love

and joy.

So, as the rest of the lyrics written below say, “remember the love, remember a year in the

life of a friend” and measure all of your minutes with love!

It’s time now to sing out, tho the story never ends, let’s celebrate,

remember a year in the life of friends.

Remember the love! Remember the love!

Remember the love! Measure in love! Seasons of love! Seasons of love!

OPEN HEARTS MISSION GARDEN

The United Methodist Men enjoyed a delicious breakfast on October 17th. To help work

off the extra calories provided by Dr. Mike’s famous Cheese Grits, some of the men

joined our volunteers for a heavy duty work out removing the fall tomato poles and wire.

We appreciate the extra help.

Our Open Hearts Mission Garden harvested 243 lbs. of sweet potatoes with the help of

twelve Boy Scouts, under the guidance of three scout leaders, one scout mother, and

eleven garden volunteers on October 20th. It is amazing how many hands make the work

load lighter. We thank all of you for being a part of our mission project.

We are waiting for the cabbage to mature so we can share a fall treat

with Cooperative Ministry. Planning for the 2016 planting season has

begun. We are collecting fall leaves to enrich the soil for next year.

Please bag your oak leaves and drop off at the garden. Thank you for

all your support of this worthy project.

Nancy Turner, Volunteer Coordinator

SUNDAY SCHOOL BREAKFAST

Our next Sunday School Breakfast will be held on

November 8 in the Fellowship Hall from 9:15 to 10:00 a.m.

that Sunday. There is a charge to cover expenses and it is

a full hot breakfast. The cost is $3.00 for adults and teens
