Mark your calendars for this year’s Trunk-or-Treat, on Friday, October 27
Trunk-or-Treat has easily become one of our congregation’s “signature” events, connecting with hundreds of church members, school families, and neighbors from the community. Be sure to mark your calendars for Friday, October 27, and make plans to be a part of the fun.
The “basics” will stay the same as in previous years, but a few “upgrades” are designed to help encourage both friends and newcomers alike.
- Church and school families are encouraged to set up a “trunk” in the church parking lot (located on the east side of the property). As before, set up can begin as early as 4 p.m.
- The “V.I.P.” event will begin for school and church families at 4:30 p.m. The event will officially open to the public at 5:30 p.m. (Online publicity and signage will also show a start time of 5:30 p.m..)
- Volunteers are required!
- Traffic control is critical, especially as our event grows in popularity. Entry is limited to Monroe Street, so traffic can exit on Kingsbury.
- Help distribute donated candy to those hosting the trunks.
- Donations needed!
- FOOD AND SUPPLIES: We can use donations of bagged CANDY, hot dogs, and hot dog buns.
- CANDY: We want anyone to help host a trunk, including those who cannot afford 400-500 pieces of candy!
NEW ADMISSION FEE! Bring a non-perishable food item for our new partners at the Pax Center! Pastor Albers is looking for monetary donations to cover the cost of a large number of items available to “purchase” that evening for those who may not see publicity for this new “admission fee.” The goal is to raise awareness of the mission of the Pax Center and its valuable work in our community.
