Belonging. Believing. Becoming.

A NOTE FROM BOBBY PATTON, DIRECTOR OF YOUTH MINISTRY

Hello Christ Church Family!

Tomorrow night is Trunk or Treat and the After Party! I’m so excited for that, and for Sunday’s annual Scavenger Hunt on Hillcrest Ave! Just a quick note for parents: because of the activities, we may finish closer to 7:30 pm instead of 7:15 pm. Also, we need parent volunteers to help transport students from the church to Hillcrest and back. Please let me know if you can drive!

I also want to highlight a few important dates. There’s no deadline for the After Party, but if you plan to attend, please sign up ASAP so we know how many vehicles are needed. For the Middle School Retreat, October 31 is the last day to register. If you're unsure whether you've signed up, feel free to reach out to me, as some of you registered as far back as August.

Lastly, a Save the Date: Winter Blitz registration will be opening soon! The event will be held January 24-25, and we’ll be heading south to Broadway UMC in Bowling Green, KY, as they are hosting this year. However, please note—if your student is part of Laudate, their retreat is the same weekend, so they should not register for Winter Blitz.

Can't wait to see you this weekend!

Bobby
