Here are the happenings for our Halloween outreach:

TRUNK or TREAT --- cars and candy are needed. Your car will be placed in line to welcome kids from the community. Be ready to smile lots, hand out candy and share the love of God. Decorate your trunk and dress up, but please do that in the best encouraging way you can. VOLUNTEER to help with TRUNK or TREAT!!!

FOOD and DRINKS --- we will be serving 2,500 hot dogs and chips. Popcorn for everyone. Drinks include koolaid, hot chocolate, and coffee. There will be three locations which means we needs lots of VOLUNTEERS as we give food away. Again, be ready to smile and welcome these families!!!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"

Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
