Oh, My Gourd
Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2018/10 - October
The temperatures are cooling. Leaves dot the ground as fall slowly makes it way to the Plateau.
You know it’s fall when you see Highlands United Methodist Methodist Church’s lawn dotted with pumpkins. Support the youth as they change lives – both theirs and the people that they serve. Funds from this project underwrite the Spring and Summer Youth Missions.
Beginning the first week in October, the front lawn of the church on Main Street and the grassy area in front of the new Faith & Fellowship Center (access via Third Street) will be will carpeted with pumpkins. Pumpkin prices are super affordable, ranging from $1 (Itty-Bitty Ones) to $50 (XXL).
Challenge your neighbors to a pumpkin decorating contest with pumpkins from the HUMC Youth Pumpkin Patch!
Plan to have lunch with the youth on Saturday, October 6, from 10:00 A.M to 2:00 P.M.
Enjoy grilled hot dogs, chips, and drink for $5 or grilled bratwurst, chips, and drink for $6. Home-baked goods will be available to satisfy your sweet tooth. Take some home to freeze in case unexpected guests drop in.
Children always enjoy face painting, fall coloring pages, and photos made with friends. Bring the kids and grandkids and make it a day.
If you can’t make the Festival or don’t have a place for a pumpkin, but want to support the youth, send your checks to HUMC at PO Box 1959, Highlands, NC 28741 (MEMO: Youth Missions) or visit highlandsmethodist.org to give online.
