Rupert Trunk or Treat 2016
We have been able
to be involved in Rupert's Trunk or Treat event on Halloween since it's
inception in 2013! The growing popularity of these kinds of public events help
allay the fears of parents who are less than excited to allow their children to
wander around visiting the homes of strangers. Though much can be said about
the how's and why's of the demise of trick or treating, we are just continually
looking for ways to connect with our community and this is an incredibly powerful
way to do so!
Since the creation
of the event our church has been involved and Pastor Jarid is on the board to
plan and run the event. This year we had around 5,000 people come through the
square! We had more volunteers than ever before, our booth gave out tons of
candy, and we had prayer walls set up for people to write prayers, draw
pictures, or sign their names. After the event we set up the prayer walls in
the front of the church and prayed over them until Thanksgiving.
Though ideally we
would love to host a holiday event like this at our church, this has been a
very effective way to meet new people, serve our community, and share the love
of God.
