Coat giveaway is October 25, 10 am – 1 pm. Help is greatly appreciated the day of the giveaway, helping children find coats that are just the right size and serving lunch to the families. Set aside time now and plan to assist with set up in the days prior to the giveaway.
Sat., Oct. 25 – Community Friendship meal. It’s our turn to provide the Community Friendship meal at Wesley UMC, Bloomsburg. This is our last turn of 2025. Please see Pastor Becky to learn how you can help and what is needed.
“Ruh-roh Raggy, it’s Halloween!” Join Scooby Doo and friends for Trunk ‘n’ Treat. Sunday, October 26. Doors open at 5:00 pm. Decorating and set up begins after the 8:15 am service.
Come spend an evening at the Lighthouse for a very fun-filled Trunk ‘n’ Treat! This event will be rain or shine, since all activities will be held inside. There will be plenty of fun & treats to go around! How do we know this? Because all of us are coming together to provide a fun-filled evening for the families. Fill the Lighthouse to overflowing with tables and booths in a Scooby Doo theme—or something different. Help out in the kitchen, serving snacks and treats. Come dressed up to welcome families and laugh with them. Hope Dent will decorate the gym in a Scooby theme. It’s up to us to come up with activities, crafts and treats. Watch for a craft area for the kids as well!
We are adding a new layer to our Trunk ‘n’ Treat fun! The youth group will be giving away prizes for the best decorated spaces and adult costumes. Get a bunch of church friends together and we will see who can be the most creative.
Come out & celebrate with us!
