Join us after worship on October 25 for family, fellowship, and fall fun! Children and adults are invited to enjoy crafts, treats, games, and opportunities to connect with our church community.


Children are encouraged to wear their favorite costumes and will have the chance to trick-or-treat throughout the church, visiting decorated doors along the way!


We need volunteers to help make the afternoon special. Sign up for a time slot in the gathering space by October 18 to:

🎨 Decorate a Door – Create a fun and festive trick-or-treat stop!

✂️ Help at a Craft Table – Assist children with a fun fall-themed craft.

🍬 Pass Out Candy – Welcome our little trick-or-treaters and fill their buckets with treats!
