Trunk or Treat

On Saturday, October 31st, we are having a trunk or treat in the parking lot at the church from 5pm-8pm or until the candy runs out. I thought I would put a little more information on here for those of you that have never been to a trunk or treat. We are asking the congregation to either bring their cars/trunks or pickup beds to church and pass out candy to the kids. The cars will be parked in a circle with their trunks all facing towards the middle. Having your trunks/pickup beds decorated would be wonderful but is not necessary. If you don't want to decorate your trunks, don't let that discourage you from coming. You will have to purchase candy as well as pass out. Hot chocolate and maybe popcorn will be given out. If anybody would like to volunteer for that position please contact Kelley. Please come out and support this and let the town of Stuart know how much you care about kids.

Meat & Greet Outreach

We started a new program that we'll be doing every month called Meat & Greet Outreach. The idea is that we make an effort to reach out to those people that we haven't seen in a while in worship services. People need to know that they are appreciated and missed when they can't, or won't come to services. Being faithful to the assembly isn't just about attendance, it's also the fact that it is a missed opportunity to worship and to encourage each other. So this is an effort to do just that.

The next time we'll meet is November 5th at 6:30. Our menu is soups and salads so come out and join us in encouraging the sick, the lonely, and those that have gotten out of the habit of attending worship. See you there!
