FALL EVENTS

Community is a gift. In the busyness of life, you invest in life in community because you have an inherent need for it. When you pull away from your devices and endless tasks, you build a healthier and stronger neighborhood and society.

Fall programs and groups began with Kickoff Sunday on September 13th. Programs for your kids (age 3–5th grade), youth (6-8th grade) and high schoolers (9-12th grade) all began in September, but it's not too late to join!

The popular Trunk or Treat event on October 24 offers your kids an early opportunity to try out their costumes. Older youth can help host a trunk or lead games, while still getting to wear their fun costume!

As a spiritual community we care about the wellbeing of you, your family and our whole community. So, come to events and programs this fall and find your community!

Starting September 27, we began a congregation-wide, 5-week series based on the classic book "Life Together" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In addition to following our Sunday messages, consider reading the book and joining a 5-week group to discuss it, meet others, and go deeper. It's under 100 pages. Sign up online or at the welcome center.

A limited number of copies will be available for purchase at church. You can also buy your own or download an e-book version. Many editions and translations exist, but we recommend the Life Together Reader's Edition published by Fortress Press for shared conversation.

Bonhoeffer wrote: "Christian community is not an ideal we have to realize, but rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate." His point was that community is not dependent on us to create out of nothing but already made possible by Christ's love and grace. We simply need to open our eyes and step into it. We live in a time when many are lonely and community is strained. Come and explore what makes for vibrant relationships and community and share in this experience together.

Join us in our west parking lot for this free family-friendly Halloween event! Kids get to go trick-or-treat around our parking lot by visiting each of the decorated cars. After visiting the cars, kids can grab a cup of hot chocolate, enjoy yard games, and play Halloween bingo.

All Saints Trunk or Treat is open to all families, so invite neighbors, friends, and relatives. Costumes are encouraged.
