Trunk or Treat


Friday night, St. A's was transformed into a Halloween Haunt with fun for all. 


The festivities began with hot dogs, chili, chips, and other treats to provide all participants with full and happy tummies.


The little ghosts and goblins then ventured outside to Trunk or Treat at some creative and fun trunks.
 


 
Our beautiful gardens were turned into a haunted trail- only the bravest were able to make it all the way through!


A great big thank you to everybody involved!  This was a fantastic event!

Warm sun and fresh air...

On Sunday, October 2nd, we combined an outdoor service with an animal belssing which resulted in a fantastic worship experience. God blessed us with picture perfect weather in the form of bright sunshine and moderate temperatures.
Our beautiful garden provided the most fantastic worship space where we were surrounded by all of God's creation- the flowers, the grass, the trees, etc. 
Members were encouraged to bring their pets of all shapes and sizes.  Some of which decided to add their own vocalizations to the prayers and hymns.  All of the furry companions were well behaved. (Except when they voiced their converns when the horse made its appearance.)
This is an event will most hold again in the future- if not for the worshp and blessing of the pets, but at least for an excuse to make puppy chow for the humans!
