from 6 to 8 pm on the front lawn of the church! This All-Church Event for the children of the community is coordinated by the Family Life Team.

We still need help in these areas: LOTS & LOTS & LOTS of bags of candy...we have half of what we need.

Collection boxes are in the foyer & near the FLC elevator. 2 MORE cars or pickups to pass out candy from your “trunks.” 4 MORE people to help with food service.

Join us in putting on a safe alternative for approximately 1000 participants on Halloween night! Can’t be here but you still want to help? Make a donation and we’ll shop for you! Sign up in the foyer, email karen@mustangumc.org or call 376-3139

Just for fun...this year we’re giving away prizes for the best “trunk” decorations. Just google trunk or treat images for loads of great ideas.

Jesus Said…..

Wise and Foolish Builders

47“ Why do you call me, ’Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came , the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

Luke 6: 46-49

We passed out 100 boxes to be filled for Operation Christmas Child Sunday. Didn’t get one? You can still pick up an envelope that details all the necessary information and then pack any shoe box, plastic or cardboard. Packed boxes should be returned no later than November 13 so they can reach their destination in time for Christmas.

Locally, we will again be providing Christmas gifts to children whose parents are Incarcerated thru Project Angel Tree. “Angels” should be available Nov. 13.
