10 UPDATE ON THE TRUNK N TREAT EVENT! HIGHLIGHTS: 15 DECORATED TRUNKS OVER 120 CHILDREN BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY AWESOME OUTREACH TO OUR COMMUNITY! The UMW would like to thank everyone who made our 1st Trunk n Treat Event a success! Our congregation was very creative in their decorated trunks and what a variety! Thank you to our Youth Group for helping read to the children, our Scout Troop for manning the Welcome Table, and Dee Eberly for coming up with the idea and encouraging us to hold the event! Check out the website for pictures! The most original trunk went to Cookie Monster decorated by Jenna Daugherty and Jen Leitzell, congratulations girls! The event was well organized and with so many activities, the children and their families enjoyed a few hours of fall fun together. We heard a lot of positive feedback so look for this event to happen in 2016! 11

11 OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD When you pack a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child, you may be surprised how much you can fit it. But that s nothing compared with what God can bring out of your box. Souls will be saved, churches started, and the Gospel preached all over the world. This project is an opportunity to tell the children and their families about God s greatest gift, His Son, Jesus Christ. In just the last five years, over a million boys and girls have prayed to accept Jesus as their Savior because of this ministry. It s not too late to fill a box or do another. Boxes are available with all the information you need on a table in the courtyard and on a table in the hall of the children s department. Please have all filled boxes under the table any time by November 15th. Christmas Child Coordinator Kim Sterner HAVE EXTRA SHOE BOXES? Emily Thoman and Lebanon Valley College are also helping with Operation Christmas Child with a goal of 1000 boxes this year. If you have any extra shoeboxes that you are not going to use for your OCC box, please drop off in the Courtyard. Thank you :) ANNUAL CHURCH CONFERENCE Sunday, Nov. 22nd 7p.m. All church members are invited to attend and vote. 12
