Trunk or Treat 2021: Opportunities to Pray and Serve
Saturday, October 30, 4-7PM
Saturday, October 30, 4-7PM
Did you know? Of all the outreach events we've hosted over the years, Trunk or Treat is by far the most frequently mentioned as someone’s first introduction to GracePoint. This event serves as an open door to our community, often leading to attending Sunday services and finding a church home here. Weeks, months, even years later, more than any other event or service project, when we ask, “How did you hear about GracePoint?”—the answer is very often “Trunk or Treat!”
Much more than just “something fun we do,” our GracePoint Hospitality & Local Outreach ministry is all about our gospel imperative to welcome the people around us and love our neighbors as ourselves. An event like Trunk or Treat, then, is an intentional invitation for our surrounding community to come and enjoy a gathering with us, as we open our lives to be a good neighbor to Brookings, “making the most of every opportunity” (Ephesians 5:16 NIV; some versions say, “redeeming the time”) to engage in meaningful ways. In other words, this is one big opportunity to Encounter Grace, Grow in Grace, and Give Grace, as the people of GracePoint.
And yes… it’s a whole lot of fun, too!
Trunk or Treat is coming up this year on Saturday, October 30th. This community event provides a safe, family-friendly evening for kids and families to enjoy trick-or-treating in the GracePoint parking lot—offering the most candy per square foot in Brookings!
At this local gathering, volunteer "trunk hosts" from GracePoint and the surrounding community line up to decorate vehicles and hand out TONS of treats for area children. Get your friends, family, coworkers, growth group, or other crew together and come up with a creative theme to decorate your trunk!
This is a great opportunity to love our neighbors and invite everyone we know to come experience the GracePoint community. Most importantly, please join us in prayer, that God opens doors for new connections and continued relationships, as we serve the people around us in the love of Jesus.
Ready to be a part of what makes this event so special? Bring your candy donations to the “Treat Trailer” in the main lobby on Sunday mornings in October, and grab your spot on this year’s Trunk or Treat volunteer signup HERE!
