Slime Time and Trunk-And-Treat... Two years ago we invited the children of Good Hope, their friends and our church neighbors to a 2-hour fall fun fest we called Slime Time and Trunk-And-Treat. It was such a great outreach event, so we are planning to offer the event again this year. It took many hands to make the event happen - helpers with registration, games, sharing the faith message, snacks, parking, and Trunk-And-Treat. We'll also need donations of snacks, treats, mittens, etc. Soon we'll have a wish list, so you'll know exactly how you can help. The date is tentatively set for October 31 from 2-4 p.m. Boardman Township has not yet set the time for Trick-or-Treat and we are waiting
for them to do so before setting a firm date and time for Slime Time. So, please pencil this into your calendar and watch for more information about how you can help with this fun outreach event.
