Trunk Or Treat

Last night was Music City's second annual Trunk Or Treat Event. It was an awesome time where 70 kids (60 who do not normally come to our church!) came and played games, drank hot cocoa, and got lots and lots of candy!

Our church does events like these for a few reasons. First, who doesn't love handing out free candy? Second, it's tons of fun for the kids (and I think the adults had a pretty good time, too!). But most importantly, we do this events because it's a chance for our church to show the people in our area who we are and what we're about. So many people drive past our church everyday, but all they ever see is the building. This event was our opportunity for those people to put a face with our building: for them to come and meet us, see that we're just regular people, and that we care about them.

Most of these people won't come back to our church this Sunday. And that is ok. There's really nothing that we as a church can do to make them come church - that's up to the Holy Spirit. But what we can do is show them love and make them feel welcome so that when they are ready, they feel comfortable coming into our church. And I totally think that happened last night!

So a huge thank you to everyone who helped: to all the check-in and food table workers - thanks for serving with such great spirits! To all the life-group members - thanks for going all out in decorating your trunks. Your creativity was incredible! To the life-group leaders - thanks so much for your organization and leadership to make the trunks happen! And a HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to Chad & Staci for coordinating and executing this event with such excellence! Your passion for outreach inspire me and I'm so excited to see what God continues to do in our church through your leadership in this area.
