Program Details:
- Adult Bible Study: Words of Life
Nearly everyone has heard of the Ten Commandments, the list of “thou-shalt-nots” found in the Bible. Jesus saw these commandments not as onerous burdens, but as guideposts to help us experience a good and beautiful life. Join others from Memorial as we take a fresh look at these ancient words. - Youth Small Group: 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
- Children’s Choir: 6:00 – 6:30 p.m.
- Kid’s Bible Study: 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.

TRUNK OR TREAT
Our Trunk or Treat event will be held Saturday, October 29th from 6:30-8:00 p.m.! This is a great community event for families looking for a fun and safe alternative to trick-or-treating door-to-door or 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.
Setup time will begin at 5 pm. Please contact Lynda Hepler at 336-472-9711 or click HERE to sign up.

However, we still need people to fill the settings and marketplace! Leslie Gibbs and Tim Lamb will be calling on folks to be a part of this year’s cast to make the production a success. If you have done this before, you know how rewarding it is for everyone!

We hope to have you join us! If you are interested in having a booth, please contact Marie Carmichael at (336) 476-4625.
