Halloween Baskets from Amy Sumpter Up for Auction – Last chance on 10/18/26
Happy Spooky Season!
I have two Halloween baskets that were designed for the auction before the date got pushed back to January. Instead of waiting until January, I will put them up for silent auction beginning on October 5. Instructions for how to bid will be placed near the baskets in the Fellowship Hall. Bidding will close on October 18th at 12:30 pm–in time for you to take your basket and enjoy it through the last two weeks of October!
Basket 1 is kind of an “instant party” kind of basket with decor, candy, paper plates, etc. Basket 2 is designed for Halloween morning with slippers, coffees, mugs, decor, etc. I will have a full list of items in each basket available. Each of these baskets would retail for full price at over $150–but minimum bidding for High Street will start at $40. Would make a great gift for yourself or someone else!
Starting Wednesday, October 21st at 11:30am, we will be hosting an in person Graceful Gatherings – Grief Support Group The group will be open only to High Street Community members at this time. It will be a safe space to process your grief in all forms. Come and be held and supported in your healing. They will meet every other Wednesday. Please contact Rev. Tina to join. Email to revtina@hsuuc.org or call her at 478-394-2777
Congregational Meeting will be on November 8th in the Sanctuary directly after Worship Services

For this year’s RE Curriculum we will use animated shorts from Pixar and Disney to facilitate
discussion around values, ethics, and feelings. The shorts are short in length, with most running between three and eleven minutes; the short length will alleviate boredom, and allow all children to see the animation in its entirety, grounding the discussion in a shared experience.
Social Justice: Community Outreach Opportunities and Events
