Fall Festival a Huge Success!
Many thanks to all who worked so hard to make this year's Fall Festival such a wonderful evening! The maze was amazing. The games were fun-filled. The cake walk and candy prizes cranked out a zillion calories. Hot dogs and s'mores and clever costumes and camp fire and laughter and just good times with neighbors, friends, and the church family combined to reclaim the celebration of this season for God's honor and glory. Check out photos on our Facebook page!
