Springfield Friends Meeting’s high tea, held May 22 and attended by 160 guests, was organized by the Sara R. Haworth Missions Circle as a fundraiser to help with the installation of a new heating system for the sanctuary. It raised $3,000.
A silent auction was also held.
High tea is an English tradition and consists of a fairly substantial late afternoon or early evening meal at which tea is served.
Organizers said that Ray Luther, the meeting’s pastor, gave a very inspiring, entertaining and enjoyable program.
The meeting is at 551 E. Springfield Road in High Point.
