Fun tip for October

Trunk r' Treat
Since many of us have concerns about the October 31st celebration that we don't agree with...we've turned it into an outreach event. We don't dress up in dracula, Frankenstein costumes, etc., so we encourage people to dress up in the Biblical attire. The we ask for church members to volunteer to park their cars on the outer perimeter of the church parking lot and line their trunks with a nice decorative clothe, etc...filled with candy. Children go from car to car to get candy. Parents especially appreciate the safe and controlled atmosphere. The Sunday school department is responsible for conducting games in the middle of the parking lot. Face painting, balloon tying is also a fun activity. You invite the whole neighborhood to participate...send out flyers or advertise how you want to. Families in the neighborhood will have the chance to meet you and you them. Who knows, you just might win a family to the Lord.
This year we are doing the trunk r treat event but with a concert in the first hour and the trunk r treat in the second. You can do give-a-ways...or games.
This year the 31st is on a Wednesday when many of you are having church anyway.
