Pumpkin Carving/Decorating Party and Operation Christmas Child

Come on out to the Grove on Thursday, October 17th at 7 p.m. for a little pre-Halloween celebration. We will be carving and/or decorating pumpkins! BYOP (pumpkin, of course) and a snack to share. Carving tools and materials for decorating pumpkins will be supplied. I encourage you to bring a friend along for this fun night of fellowship!

** Costumes are optional **

~ Judy M. & Nancy C. will be presenting the devotional ~

+++ Check out Pinterest to get those creative juices flowing! +++

ALSO,

We will be participating in the Samaritan's Purse/Operation Christmas Child program. It is my hope to be able to fill at least 3 shoe boxes (shoe boxes will be supplied) with small gifts for the following:

Girl - age 5-9

Boy - age 5-9 and 

Girl - age 10-14 

We will use a portion of our proceeds from the bake/craft sale to pay for the shipping costs (approx. $21). For more information on Operation Christmas Child and for gift ideas, click here: How To Pack A Shoe Box

If you would like to participate in this very worthy cause, please bring one or two small unwrapped gifts to the October 17th meeting. In between pumpkin carving/decorating, we will fill the shoe boxes, as they are due by Sunday, October 27. Thank you in advance for your support!
