Bible Sunday

Matthew 22:15-22

Trunk or Treat this Friday!

Join the fun by decorating your trunk (or table) in any way you choose; some folks 'go all out' and others keep it simple. There are no rules! Costumes are encouraged but not necessary. Bring some treats for the children; candy or healthy items welcome, please no nuts. If you need ideas or candy, contact Kaleigh. Sign-up below. Or just come to watch all the fun!

In the event of rain, we will hold the event indoors and create trick or treating stations to decorate inside. We will have the kids trick or treat around the church and then have some fun Halloween activity stations downstairs.

Set up at 4:30pm, trick or treat from 5-7pm.

Decorate your trunk!
