Pet Blessing – Saturday, October 5th
Join us at our neighbor church to the East – First Lutheran Church (74th & W. Lapham) at 10 am. Bring your special pet (or picture) for a brief blessing service by Pastor Grace and Rev. Josh. Please have dogs on leashes and cats (& other critters) in carriers. “God loves our pets, and so do we”.
Methodist Movie Matinee & Discussion October 20
Following worship, please stay in the sanctuary just for fun to watch “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken” (it’s getting close to Halloween, you know). This 1966 family comedy is unrated and stars Don Knotts and Joan Staley. Luther Heggs (Don Knotts) aspires to be a reporter for his local small-town newspaper. He gets his big break when his editor asks him to spend a night in the (haunted?) Simmons mansion and write a report. Comedy ensues. As usual, the movie, popcorn, and beverages are FREE. Stay after the film for pizza and a brief discussion. A free -will offering will be taken to defray the cost of the pizzas. Kids, friends, and neighbors are welcome!!!
October 26 – Trunk or Treat
Come to the church parking lot as we give out treats to our neighborhood kids from 4 to 7 pm. Decorate your car (and yourself) and join us for this annual event. We get LOTS (300-400) of kids, so bring plenty of Halloween candy! Please arrive between 3 and 3:30 pm so Lance can arrange the cars. This year, we hope to be joined by some of our friends from First Lutheran Church as well! Can’t be there but want to help? We need candy donations! Drop off candy @ the church office or Lance’s office. THANKS!!
