Trunk or Treat | Saturday, Oct 31 | 6-8pm
Trunk or Treat is one of our biggest community outreach events of the year! Hundreds of kids will be coming here for a family-friendly night of games, free food, (sign up sheet is at the Welcome Center if you would like to help with donations for food, drop off no later than Friday at 4pm), bounce houses, and lots of candy. We need hundreds of pounds of candy for this event. Please drop off candy donations at the church office any time. Spread the word and invite families to this great event! Invite cards are at the Welcome Center.
Trunk or Treat Setup & Volunteers | This week
If you are running a game please try to make one of the setup times: Thursday 9am-4pm, 6pm-8pm or Friday 9am-4pm. See David and Robin Laansma for your game location. We could use helpers after Wed programs to help clear out the large and small foyers Wednesday night. On Saturday volunteers are encouraged to wear an FBC shirt (if you have one) or a modest family friendly costume (no witches, demons, or gore). Please be at your game and ready to go by 5:30pm Sat.
