TRUNK-OR-TREAT

by Robin

Oh what fun we had last night!!!! (my trunk below - "Celebrate the feast of the harvest")

Twenty-five trunks were "donated" for our church's Trunk-or-Treat outreach to the community. It is our goal that all children get to get treats from safe people in a safe environment. No cars are allowed to travel through the section where the kids can run around.

Inside, there is free food for kids & parents. We rent multiple jumpy houses & obstacle courses and the kids exhaust themselves there. It's all indoors too!! No mosquitos!!

Outside, we line one side of the church with cars on both sides of the parking lot. To bring out a bigger effort from members, there is a little contest on who has the best trunk. I don't think there is a gift, but an honorable mention in church Sun morning & bragging right. LOL. We have the most amazing pumpkin carver at our church who won last year. You'd think he was a surgeon but he works at the post office. Hmmmm.... wait......don't think 'postal'. Ok? LOL He's a nice man.

So, I'm going to show you several trunks that were my favorites. Some were unfocused so I had to dump those today. Oops. Our only requirement was that we had nothing too scary & preferably from the Bible.

"I go prepare a place for you." Decorated by a 12 yo girl!!!

The pumpkin carver - this cannot be appreciated during the daylight. He even had Jonah in the belly of that whale.

Above - Fruit of the Spirit - each one of those tags represented a different "fruit".

Below - done by Missionaries back home from abroad, asking for workers for the harvest. They just might be homeschoolers, you think?? LOL

Below - "Don't store up your treasures on earth but in heaven. Where your treasure is, so is your heart." Even the candy was wrapped in gold & silver. This trunk was donated by the Pastor & his parents, the Director of Missions for our county.
