Join us Saturday, October 30, from 5:00 to 6:00 pm, for this year's Trunk-or-Treat! This is a community event complete with food and lots of treats in trunks. To be sure we have plenty to go around, baskets have been set up in the Narthex for the congregation to begin offering candy contributions. Please make sure all candy is individually wrapped and does not contain any peanut or peanut products.
Only four volunteers have signed up to decorate a trunk and we could use extra help! Please contact the church office to sign up. We would appreciate as many trunks as possible to help make this a wonderful event! Thank you in advance for your help!
