Expect corn hole and gaming tournaments, face and pumpkin painting, and fun games for the whole family. Of course, there will be tasty treats (we would never leave you hungry), plus door prizes and giveaways!
This is a church-wide event, so we're asking for volunteers from all ministries. Not in a ministry yet? This is a great chance to jump in! Most importantly, please bring someone you know who doesn't have a church home or a relationship with Jesus Christ. More details are coming on how you can help make this event a success while giving God all the glory!
