Fall Gathering at Chip and Pam’s

Next Saturday, October 24 | 9am–1pm | Drop in any time

The whole church family is invited to spend a fall morning together at Chip and Pam’s house. Come for an hour or stay the whole time. Bring your kids, your friends, and your appetite.

Here’s what’s happening:

Pancakes: Breakfast will be served, so come hungry.
Pumpkin Carving: Carving tools will be ready for kids and adults. Just bring your own pumpkin.
Apple Cider Pressing: The cider press will be set up with plenty of apples. Kids and adults can press their own fresh cider. Bring a gallon jug so you can take some home.

Times like these matter. The early church “broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts” (Acts 2:46). Sharing a meal and working side by side is a simple way to get to know one another and grow closer as a church family.

We hope to see you there!
