Fall Fest: Where Fun Meets Faith
You can almost feel it in the air, the crisp evenings, the scent of cinnamon and apples, and the sound of leaves crunching underfoot. Fall has arrived, and around here, that can only mean one thing. It’s almost time for our Snyder Kids Fall Fest!
Every year, this night fills our campus with laughter, music, and the happy chaos of kids running from trunk to trunk and game to game, proudly showing off costumes and clutching buckets of candy. It’s one of our favorite events, not just because it’s fun, but because it’s a beautiful picture of what it looks like to display Christ-like love right here in our own community.
Fall Fest isn’t just an event. It’s a mission field. It’s a night when our parking lot becomes a place where families from across Fayetteville gather, some who’ve been part of Snyder for years, and others stepping onto our campus for the very first time. And through every smile and every shared laugh, we get to show them what God’s love looks like in action.
This year, we’re especially excited to share The Pumpkin Gospel, a hands-on, joy-filled way for kids to hear how God takes the mess inside our hearts, cleans us out, and fills us with His light. It’s a story that sticks, simple enough for a child to understand, but powerful enough to remind us all of the transforming love of Jesus.
And you can help make it happen. We need volunteers to host trunks, run games, greet families, and pass out candy, lots of it. Every volunteer helps create a moment that could plant a seed of faith in someone’s heart. Candy donations can be dropped off in the bins around the church throughout the month, and sign-ups to serve are available in the Gathering Hall after the service this Sunday.
So circle the date, Saturday, October 26, at 4:30pm, and invite your friends, neighbors, and classmates. Let’s fill our campus with light, laughter, and love as we share the joy of Christ with Fayetteville, one piece of candy and one glowing pumpkin at a time.
