SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25 - CELEBRATING A LEGACY OF GENEROSITY -
SPEAKER - COLIN SAXTON

Greetings and Good Evening Friends,
I'll send out our regular "What's Happening on Sunday" tomorrow but wanted to highlight this evening our theme and speaker for this Sunday.

This Sunday our theme will be "A Legacy of Generosity" as part of our October focus of celebrating the 70th Anniversary of our Meetinghouse and Quaker faith community at 800 Quaker Lane. The plain and simple reality is that we continue to be present and available for ministry because there were folks in the history of High Point Friends Meeting that made sure through their generosity there would be a future for High Point Friends Meeting...and we are that future. As we are now the present generation, we want to do our part to continue this legacy of generosity so that there will be a future beyond us in which High Point Friends Meeting can continue to be a Light to the community. We also want to remember our story of generosity so that we can live generously towards our community in all of the various ways generosity can be expressed.

So this Sunday (October 25) I have invited my friend, Colin Saxton, to bring the message at 10AM and share at 11AM around what it means to be a "Generous Congregation". Colin is the Stewardship Theologian and Director of Church Relations at Everence Financial Ministries. He is also a recorded Quaker minister with a pastor's heart as well as a deeply generous and genuine heart. I know you will be both challenged and inspired by his words and presence.

If you are in town and available, I do hope you will join us. As always, we will livestream on our High Point Friends Meeting page both our 10AM worship and 11AM presentation.
With Gratitude,Scott

WEDNESDAY NOTES - HIGH POINT FRIENDS MEETING

Greetings Friends,I hope you are all doing well and your week is going well so far. Here are a couple invites for your Wednesday...

1. WEDNESDAY "PAUSE & PRAY" - I invite us to "pause" at some point during this day to offer Light and Love and prayers for our world, community, and those we know and love. Often our "pause" is a way for us to make space for our own "slowing down" and reflecting, but it's also a good moment to hold in our hearts the hurts and needs of our world. If you are able to offer a "pause" today, I would invite us to hold in Light and Love our world and the many places it is experiencing conflict, violence, and war. We can also include our own communities and neighbors who we know are struggling and sometimes just trying to make ends meet. If you would like a quiet space and place to pause and pray, our Haworth Chapel will be open and available today from 10AM - 3PM.

2. THIS SUNDAY (OCTOBER 25) "A LEGACY OF GENEROSITY"- This Sunday will be our last one in our monthly theme/focus around celebrating our 70th Anniversary of High Point Friends Meeting at 800 Quaker Lane. This Sunday we celebrate a "legacy of generosity". Plainly put, the reason we are able to offer ministry and gather in our Meetinghouse is due to the present generosity of all of you but also because of the immense generosity of many who came before us. Their generosity then enables us now to give back to our community, give to Quakers worldwide, maintain our facilities, and pay our staff. We want to be able to continue that legacy of generosity.

This Sunday, my good friend, Colin Saxton, will be bringing the prepared message in our 10AM meeting for worship as well as sharing a presentation at 11AM on becoming a Generous Congregation. Colin is a recorded Quaker minister and serves with Everence Financial Services. He brings a pastor's heart and presence to this moment and I am confident you will enjoy his message and his presentation. Plus, his work with us over the next year will be vital to our flourishing as a generous congregation.

Personally I want to thank all of you for the many ways you offer your gifts and presence to High Point Friends. It's because of all of you we continue to be a faithful Quaker presence at 800 Quaker Lane.

With Gratitude,
Scott

SUNDAY - HIGH POINT FRIENDS MEETING - OCTOBER 18

Greetings Friends!
Here's what's happening tomorrow at High Point Friends Meeting for tomorrow October 18...

9:00 AM - UNPROGRAMMED/SILENT MEETING FOR WORSHIP- We'll offer in Haworth Chapel our Unprogrammed / Silent Meeting for Worship. This is open to anyone and offers a space for silent reflection as well as space to listen deeply for Spirit's movement in your life.

9:30 AM - COFFEE & FELLOWSHIP will be offered in Ragan Fellowship Hall. Friends are invited to share in fellowship together and reconnect.

10:00 AM - PROGRAMMED MEETING FOR WORSHIP - As we continue our focus on celebrating the 70 Anniversary of our Meetinghouse at 800 Quaker Lane, tomorrow our theme is A Legacy of Service as we celebrate the ways High Point Friends has been present in the community through acts of service, justice, and mercy. A significant part of this community presence is High Point Friends School. One of the attachments offers a short history of the school in partnership with High Point Friends Meeting. As part of our worship, Karin Heller will be sharing the prepared message. Karin joined the staff at High Point Friends Meeting two years ago and serves as our Director of Intergenerational Ministries and Community Engagement. She also works half-time at High Point Friends School as the Director of Quaker Studies. We will livestream the worship on our High Point Friends Meeting page.

11:00 AM - ADULT FORUM / FORMATION CONVERSATION - Friends are invited to gather in Ragan Fellowship Hall to continue the conversation around the presence of service and witness High Point Friends Meeting offers in our community both as a Meeting and in partnership with High Point Friends School. What does it look like for High Point Friends Meeting to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8)? How can we partner with ministries and agencies in High Point that align with our Quaker values and offer our support? What does it look like for us to actively engage with Friends United Meeting and partner with ministries in places like Belize, Ramallah, East Africa, and Cuba?

This is happening this Saturday (tomorrow) at High Point Friends Meeting in partnership with with High Point Friends School...and Friends of ALL ages are invited!

HIGH POINT FRIENDS MEETING - WEDNESDAY "PAUSE & PRAY"

~ Take a few moments during the day to day and pause to simply quiet yourself, refocus, and redirect your presence back to welcoming peace and what feels to be your priorities for the day.
~ Take a few moments when you pause to hold Friends in your heart in such a way that you "see" them being held in love and Light.
~ As you pause, pay attention to what you are feeling and thinking and ruminating about and seeing if it's breaking your peace and bringing you peace. If it's breaking your peace, ask yourself what is possibly going on in your life that is breaking your peace.
~ Reset your "intentions" for the day to live today with a deeper awareness of God's love as well as sharing God's love with others.

As you take time to pause, maybe this prayer might be helpful to pray...

"Today, God, help me focus on a peaceful pace rather than a harried one. I will keep moving forward gently, not frantically. Help me let go of my need to be anxious, upset, and harried. Help me replace it with a need to be at peace and in harmony."
(The Twelve Step Prayer Book)

As we pause and pray, please continue to hold these Friends in God's Love and Light...Joyce Wolford, Sam Gibson, Bob Bowser and family, Michael Cushwa, and many others we know who continue to hold grief in their hearts.

Our Haworth Chapel will be open today from 10AM - 2PM for anyone who would like to use it for a quiet and silent space.

Blessings,
Scott
