Trunk or Treat will be held on Wednesday, October 31st from 6-8 PM. This outreach activity allows you to see hobgoblins, witches, scarecrows, superheroes, and more. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to decorate the trunk of your car and give candy out in an effort to sweeten up the pirates, princesses, and other characters that come by our parking lot.

There are two ways to participate in Trunk or Treat.

You can hang out in the parking lot giving out candy in the always unpredictable weather. It might be hot, cold, downright frigid. Everyone who does this has a great time…and if we’re lucky, you’ll run out of candy and be chased across the parking lot by an angry hoard of small children much to everyone else’s amusement. Just kidding! You can bring some of your own candy, and we can supplement your stash too. Which brings up the other way you might participate in Trunk or Treat.

You can donate candy. You know the kind we need. You’ve seen those isles of “snack” and “fun” sized chocolates, Skittles, and the like already appearing at grocery stores and fine retailers. The bags that if you buy and bring to your home will mysteriously disappear during one episode of The Big Bang Theory, only to be replaced by a small pile of empty wrappers next to your chair. You can avoid those wrappers getting stuck in the cushions by donating those bags of candy. We’ll put a bin at the back of the Sanctuary for you to drop off candy, or you can donate funds to purchase some, thereby avoiding even getting the tempting little snacks into your possession. It is up to you.

Either way you choose to help is appreciated. The kids have a great time, and so do the adults. We anticipate, depending on the unpredictable weather, over 300 kids coming through the parking lot. Which brings up a great perk of being at the church that night: you get to see all the costumes and visit with friends without even turning on the porch light. Please consider participating in Trunk or Treat.
