Flannel Fun Day
Sunday, October 18 | 11:45am

Join us for Flannel Funday on October 18, right after the Celebration Service! You’re even encouraged to wear your flannel or fall attire to church for the afternoon of fun and fellowship. There will be kids games, a pumpkin decorating station, gaga ball, pick-up volleyball, Fall dessert contest, pumpkin face drawing contest, and even a cornhole tournament! We are in need of volunteers to assist with several activities. If you/your family/small group can help, please sign up at the table in the foyer!
The church will provide sloppy joes, hot dogs, mac and cheese and baked beans. Please sign up at the table in the foyer so we can know how many to expect.
If your last name is A-R, please bring a covered dish; if S-Z, please bring a dessert. We’re accepting candy donations for a kids candy Hunt! Please bring lawn chairs. Sign up at the table in the foyer if you’d like to compete in the Cornhole Tournament, Fall Dessert Contest, and/or Pumpkin Face Drawing Contest for small prizes!
