TRUNK OR TREAT

Join us Monday, October 28, 5:30-7pm for our Annual Trunk or Treat! This coincides with the Fallbrook YMCA Trunk or Treat, so we expect our Parking Lot to be busy!

We could use your help!

*Set-up Lights

*Direct Parking

*Man the fire-pit

*Clean-up

*Host a Trunk

We will tell the “Story of Everything” starting with Creation through the Resurrection and Beyond! We have lots of ideas, and even some materials from years past that will make it easy to put your trunk together (just let us know your theme, and we can help you gather up supplies)!

If you’d like to participate by making a trunk or would like to volunteer to help sign up in the Welcome Center or contact

ORPHAN GRAIN TRAIN UPDATE

The Lincoln Collection Center of Orphan Grain Train is celebrating God’s blessing of a new warehouse location by having an open house Saturday, October 19 from 11am-2pm. Please join us at our new location at 1901 Southwest 6th St., Lincoln, NE. A free luncheon meal, tours, and an informational packet will be available. Please join us and meet volunteers, donors and leaders from the International headquarters of Orphan Grain Train, Norfolk, NE.

OPTIONS FOR PARENTS

LIVE STREAM in our Nursery/Preschool room available during church services for anyone with the wiggles (young and old!). This space has plenty of toys to keep little ones occupied (parents should plan to be in the room with their children.)

Wiggle Room in Room #4 (the room just to the left out the Sanctuary door) is equipped with a TV to stream the service along with chairs, and a few toys. This is a great space for feeding babies or corralling toddlers! This space is also available during Sunday School for those who are not quite ready for the Preschool classroom. Parents should plan to supervise their children in this space.

And, as always, we welcome the squirms, noises, and energy that come with children. God put the wiggle in children, don’t feel like you have to suppress it here!

Children are a gift, and we’d love to support you in the faith formation of your family!
