NEW!! Women's Small Group

Women of all ages are invited to gather and grow on Tuesdays at 6pm in the Banquet Room as we read An Altar in the World by Barbara Brown Taylor. This is a great opportunity for all generations of women to fellowship and learn from one another as we explore church beyond the walls of the sanctuary and where we can encounter God in our everyday lives.

Trick or Treat Wednesday Night Supper

October 30

Menu: Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, and all the trimmings

Everyone is invited to dress in their costumes, and there will be an opportunity to "trick-or-treat" at each of the decorated tables.

If you are interested in decorating a table contact the church office.

SAVE THE DATE!

Get ready for a fun-filled evening of costumes, candy, and community! Our annual Trunk or Treat event is just around the corner, and we want YOU to be part of the celebration! Bring your family and friends to the church parking lot on October 31 from 5:30PM to 7:00PM for a safe and exciting trick-or-treating experience. Decorate your trunk, dress up in your favorite costumes, and enjoy the festivities with us!

Interested in hosting a trunk or serving in some way for the event? Sign up here!

Daytrippers

The Daytrippers are headed to the Raptor Center at Auburn University on Tuesday, October 22. We will leave the Zachry Center parking lot at 12 noon and have lunch at Niffers Place in Auburn. Then we’ll motor on over to the Raptor Center for a private tour, featuring an outdoor guided walk around the enclosure of all the resident raptors. At the end of the tour, one of the eagles will be brought out for us to get a picture of the eagle and the handler. Doesn’t that sound exciting?? Cost is $10 plus your meal. See Helen or call the church office if you want to go with us.
