Join the fun on Halloween in the church parking lot, 975 Indian Creek Road, from 4-6 p.m. You’ll find vehicle trunks and hatches covered in Halloween decor and filled with all kinds of treats for boys and girls!
“Well over 200 kids and parents came to last year’s event,” said Pastor Alicia Speidel. “The kids’ costumes were awesome and so creative. Many moms and dads — even the family dog — came in Halloween duds as well. This event is for the entire community, and (fingers crossed) the long-range forecast shows clouds and sun! We hope to see everyone again this year. Be sure to bring family and friends along, and we’ll be looking for you on Oct. 31 at HRVCC.”
