TRUNK-OR-TREAT
Following evening worship on Sunday, October 26th (next week!), we will be having a Trunk-or-Treat in the parking lot. We would like to encourage everyone to participate (both children and adults). After worship, the children will dress up in the costumes while the adults decorate their trunks and pass out candy. Then following trunk-or-treating we will have finger foods in the fellowship hall, so please bring a dish as well. (Please nothing too scary or gory.)
We specifically need adults who are willing to decorate the trunk of their car and pass out candy. Please see Darla Gill to sign up.
This is a great time to invite others to worship and fellowship with us.
