Trunk or Treat events are a great community event for families looking for a fun and safe alternative to trick or treating door-to-door or just a good excuse for the kids to get one more use out of their holiday costumes. Kids will travel around the church parking lot from car to car as if trick-or-treating, stopping at each decorated trunk to play a game or receive a treat.

TRUNKS NEEDED!
Setup time will begin at 5 pm. Please contact Lynda Hepler at 336-472-9711 or click HERE to sign up so we’ll know how many vehicles to plan for!

CANDY DONATIONS ARE NEEDED!
Help out by bringing candy donations to the church. You can leave them at Lynda’s office.

FINCH PREACHING MISSION 2021

Nursery and childcare will be provided for each service.

A love offering will be collected at the evening services which will benefit Cooperative Community Ministry (CCM) of Thomasville.  

We will not be having a Luncheon this year. However, a book signing will follow Monday evenings’ worship service.

Please commit to attending these services and feel free to invite your family and friends!
