First Presbyterian Church and mark Bel Canto in the memo line.
We welcome your contribution to help bring this wonderful gift to our community!
Beyond the Debt!
Can you see it? Can you envision that day when our
building debt is gone and we can refocus our
resources on the mission and ministries of First
Presbyterian Church?
Sunday, November 23rd is the first anniversary of the
Living Our Faith capital stewardship campaign. It is
hard to imagine a year has already passed in our
three-year commitment to eliminate the remaining
debt from our construction (can you believe this fall
is the 5th anniversary of opening our new facilities?!).
We thank all who have made pledges and have been
faithfully fulfilling the promises they made. We
especially thank all of you who made extra sacrifices
to fulfill your pledges early. In so doing, your gift
multiplied itself by reducing the amount of interest
we owe on our loan.
We are so close! Our debt stands below $850,000
right now, and we anticipate it dropping less than
$800,000 by year’s end! May we all continue to finish
strong the race we have before us, looking forward
to the time when our debt is behind us, and a new
day dawns before us!

of $20,000 to support Open Door
Ministries of High Point! A big
thank you to everyone who came out
to help fight hunger and
homelessness!
There was quite a crowd enjoying the
delicious soup selections!
The Major Sevens Band made sure everyone
was entertained with live music!

it." $7 per session, or $25 for the month if you pay

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I want to let you know some recent news related to the Christian Life Sunday School class. Due to
recent changes in attendance, a decision was made between me and the church’s DCE, and the Nurture
Committee to disband the class. This decision was made after much thought and determination that the class
has come to a point that, due to loss of class members and health issues, the best course is to close this
chapter of our faith journey, and encourage the remaining members of the class to seek another class to
attend. Our last class will be November 23, 2014.
Let me take this time to thank all of you who attended as long as able, you made my job much
easier. Your own faith journeys that you willingly shared with the class, served to complement the lessons
taught by myself and in many cases, proved to be better able to show what a faith based life truly looked like.
As we take this journey together toward our final class, let me again thank all of you for letting me teach you,
and, for teaching me.
As this class comes to a close on Sunday, November 23, we will end class with an official closing
prayer and blessing led by Rev. Jeanette Quick Sandlin. All are invited for this closing blessing at 10:30 a.m. in
the Session room.
I am your faithful servant in Christ,
David Laws
Indulgences Announcement
Busy lives keep us from doing all of the things we hoped to have done for our families, friends, neighbors,
and ourselves. Everyone can use a little extra help, and the bonus is, by asking for help, we are supporting our
church's youth. When we allow our youth to help us accomplish the many things there never seems enough
time to accomplish, we are allowing our youth to deepen their understanding of service, building
relationships between generations, and helping them go to on to experience mission and ministry
opportunities through our church. If that is not a great enough reason, by allowing our youth to help you
with projects, we also keep our youngest members close to us as our church continues to grow and serve
others. Contact us if you would like to share in their excitement and give yourself a break at the same time.
Each season brings lots of extra work. Sometimes we have a neighbor that just needs a little extra
help. Consider asking for help or sending help to a shut-in or friend that just needs a little extra support. Let
the PYC come to the rescue through INDULGENCES!

Mission
Christmas Honor Cards
Once again this year, your Missions Committee
is selling honor cards to support the building
project for Presbyterian Church Kujei in
Cameroon. Last year’s cards raised over $2000,
which was enough to jumpstart the church’s
project of installing shuttered windows on the
church building. When John Amaya was told
we would be selling cards again, he wrote: “We
have not only put the shutters but we have also plastered
all the external walls that were never plastered. The
shutters include aluminum protectors, aluminum frames
and glasses. We still have other building needs for which
we will be highly delighted with your benevolence once
again. On behalf of the Christians of Presbyterian
Church Kujei, I wish to express our profound gratitude
to you all for the wonderful gesture. May the Almighty
God continually bless the First Presbyterian Church
High Point abundantly.” The cost of the cards will
be $10—they are the perfect way to honor a
family member, teacher, or special friend—and
the perfect gift for the person who has
everything!
CROP Walk
The annual High Point CROP Walk was a
success for First Presbyterian! After it was all
said and done we managed to raise $2,334 to
help end world hunger.
Main Street Coalition ~ Fill the Bus
The “Fill the Bus Campaign” is an ongoing
food collection project focused on providing
canned goods and other non-perishables to
local food banks. In November we are
collecting canned meats and fish (stewed
beef, spam, vienna sausage, ham, dried
beef, chicken, tuna, salmon, etc.). Collection
baskets are in the pantry (the former choir robe
room).
ACTS Ministry
The unsheltered homeless in High Point are in
need of tents, sleeping bags, small portion food,
water, and paper products for their
nourishment needs. If any members would like
to contribute, please call Dick Becker at 8693145 so he can pick it up. If you would like to
donate items please drop them off in the
gathering area.
Mobile Meals Needs Your Help
Are you between jobs? Newly retired? A young
mother who can spare an hour or two? Mobile
Meals needs volunteers on Tuesday mornings!
If you can possibly spare an hour and a half
each Tuesday or one time per month, please
consider helping with this local mission. The
rewards are immeasurable. Please call Pat
Hudspeth at 687-0923 or the church office at
884-2248 if you are interested in volunteering.
Career
Connection
meets each
Monday morning
from 8:30-10:00
in the Session
Room of the Church. A workbook that covers
fundamental job-search strategy is provided
each participant. Trained facilitators lead the
discussions along with having at least one guest
speaker each month. This mission was started
about four years ago. Many have attended and
many have found employment.
We encourage the congregation to help
promote this program.

Dear friends at River Landing, First Pres., High Point and
beyond,
For the last five months I have been covered with your showers
of prayers, visits, cards, and items of support and encouragement. To
acknowledge each one personally would be akin to catching rain
drops. However, I do want to let you know how very important they
were to me, and how very much they were appreciated. At difficult times they were surely a
source of strength that carried me through. I thank each and every one of you with all my
heart.
The medical people have not yet found the source of my food aversion/nausea
problem. However, lately things have been a little better, and we are looking forward to
improvements now that I am home.
Thank you again for your thoughtfulness,
Charles Fisher
