Trunk or Treat – Oct 28 7:00pm

Join us for fun, food, and fellowship as we celebrate with our ever-popular annual Community Trunk or Treat. There will be plenty of trunks, plenty of treats, plus Food Trucks! Come one, come all!

Trunks will be available from 7:00pm until about 8:15pm (or whenever the treats run out!)

Are you a member of Southminster? Consider donating your trunk! Or, drop off some bags of candy or other individually-wrapped Halloween treats in the Halloween box found in the Narthex/lobby. Trunks must be set up by 6:30pm the evening of the event. (And yes… there will be prizes!)

Picnic Potluck – 9/17

By

We invite you to join your church family for a potluck picnic lunch in the Grove (weather permitting), following worship service at 11am Sunday, September 17th. Please bring your favorite picnic foods to share. We will have a couple tables set up in the grove from which to serve the food and drinks. Please bring your own plates and utensils to help us cut down on clean up.

Suggestions for foods—buckets of chicken, sandwiches, salads, baked beans, veggie platters, chips, dips, desserts or anything else you love!

This is a celebration of our new parking lot, the end of summer and back to school!
