Sunday, October 25, 2026: Trunk or Treat is coming to St. John’s!
It’s time to get your costumes, candy, and creative ideas ready!

🎃 TRUNK OR TREAT! 🎃 Sunday, October 25, 2026

Following our 10:00am service

Join us after worship for a fun afternoon of trick-or-treating, costumes, prizes, warm drinks, snacks, and plenty of Halloween spirit!

🚗 Decorate your trunk! Turn your car into a spooky, silly, creative, or completely ridiculous trick-or-treating stop! Bring candy or non-candy treats to hand out to our trick-or-treaters.

And don't worry if decorating isn't your thing…

🍬 You can still help! Donate extra candy or other goodies for the event and help us make sure there are plenty of treats for everyone.

👻 Costumes encouraged! Kids aren't the only ones who get to dress up — adults are encouraged to join in, too! Costumes may even be worn during worship!

Just a reminder to keep things fun and church and family-friendly, especially for our youngest kiddos.

After all that trick-or-treating, come warm up in Fellowship Hall, where we'll have warm drinks and snacks waiting for everyone.

🏆 And yes… there will be prizes!

We'll gather in the large parking lot on the east side of the building . If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll move the fun downstairs.

Bring the kids, bring your creativity, bring your costumes — and bring your sweet tooth!

We can't wait to see what St. John's comes up with! 🎃🍬👻
