Our Trunk or Treat event is on Sunday, October 20^th at 3:00 p.m. Special guest “Miss D”, a balloon artist, will be on site from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. creating fun balloon shapes. Halloween music will be provided for dancing and games. Please park your decorated (optional) car with the  trunk along the sidewalk to pass out your items about 4:30 p.m.  Hot dogs, chips, cookies and popcorn will be offered.  The Boy Scouts will have games to play and will also sell their popcorn as a fundraiser.

Our Basketball Ministry will be led by Coach Todd Parker from October 16^th – November 20^th on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the MPR. This timing avoids any conflict with Advent dinners, it should help the youth get in shape before basketball tryouts, and it is prior to Prairie Township’s basketball clinic which starts in January. This event is for 3^rd – 6^th grade boys and girls. The registration cost is $20.00  which pays for the skill training, a t-shirt, a small basketball, and healthy snacks after each practice. Please spread the word on this, the info/registration forms are on the small white table in the lobby outside the sanctuary.
