We will have Trunk or Treat in the church parking lot on Saturday, Oct. 29th from 1-3PM.
We will have a small parade around the trunk at 1PM and then trick or treating will begin after the short parade. There will be cookies and juice boxes on the church porch for all. Please enter the parking lot from the parsonage driveway and park in the area by the cornfield. You can exit the event through the cemetery driveway. This will keep the children safe from car traffic.
Come enjoy safe and fun trick or treating.
