UPDATE: Upcoming Events

When I posted the last events post I accidentally left two events off and we have since added another event....get ready.....

1. Wednesday, October 31: This is Halloween. The Bridge will be open and be involved in the Downtown Associations events for the night. We need people to come support The Bridge in their efforts to reach the community. If you are a student or an adult who would be willing to help pass out candy, dress up, man games, etc let Chris know ASAP!

2. Wednesday, October 31...YES, this IS the same date as the above: The children's ministry will be hosting their annual Trunk or Treat in the church parking lot. Sara needs all the help she can get for this event! She FOR SURE needs two students/youth to be 'walkers' at the downtown event. For this you would have to wear a sign that says the church is having Trunk or Treat and walk around downtown and try and get people to go to the church. She also needs TRUNKS. If you have a car and are willing to bring candy and decorate you're trunk she would be forever grateful. Lastly, she will need people to help with the food/snacks that will be freely passed out.

BOTH of these events are in need of help! If you're available, please consider being a part of either of these efforts as they are both huge evangelism tools AND either will count towards your Resurrection Credits.

Lastly: Saturday, October 27th:  The YOUTH (aka YOUUUUUU!) are hosting the FIRST Annual Church Wide Fall Bazaar in the church parking lot. We need as many youth to come as possible since the money donated will go to send y'all to Resurrection and to pay for many events that we do. The Bazaar will last from 9-2 therefore we need people there from 8-3. If you can't stay the entire time, that is perfectly okay...just stay as long as you can.

We are trying to encourage people to set up yard sale tables, craft tables, and business tables (similar to a downtown festival). The cost to set up is $5.00....that will go to the youth. We have also asked that 20% of any money made be donated back to the youth group. Lastly, We are asking people to donate home made baked goods for us to sell along with Hot Apple Cider and S'Mores by the fire.  We are wanting to have some games for kids to play and some different activities.

 If you have any ideas to make this event more exciting/appealing/profitable let Chris or Libby know ASAP. 

If you or someone you know or are related to would like to set up a booth have them get in touch with Chris or Libby ASAP, as well!


We are really excited about all that October holds, even though it's going to SUPER busy! Get ready to raise money and haveeee fun! :)
