A Homecoming Celebration
Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2018/10 - October
For more than 100 years the sanctuary of the Highlands United Methodist Church has stood as a beacon of faith at 315 Main Street in the heart of downtown Highlands. The original building, which was heated by a pot-bellied stove and lit by kerosene lamps, has been renovated and expanded through the years to support the growing ministries of the church.
Highlands history includes wonderful stories of the church’s influence on the many generations of families over the decades. To celebrate this legacy, members of HUMC are planning a Homecoming Service on Sunday, October 14, at 10:00 A.M. in the church’s new Faith and Fellowship Center.
Plans are still being finalized but Senior Pastor Randy Lucas says, “This will be a time to remember and celebrate God’s blessings on this community of faith over the years. Members from both the 9:09 A.M. Bluegrass Worship Service and the 10:50 A.M. Traditional Service will gather in our new Faith and Fellowship Center for a combined service of memory and celebration. We look forward to seeing past Pastors and members who may have moved away all reunite with our
present congregation.”
If you have old photographs of your family and friends at HUMC through the years (worship, weddings, funerals, or other events) please share them with the church to be included in a video remembrance that will be shown that day. If you have any questions about the pictures, please contact Sonja DeFoor at (828) 526-3376 or at [email protected].
