5131964… what does it mean?

5131964.

Does this number mean anything to you?

It’s not a phone number.

OK – what if we insert a couple of spaces. 5 13 1964. Does that help?

That’s right, it’s a date. A very significant date in the history of Ivy Chapel United Church of Christ.

At the 1964 annual meeting of what was then known as the Missouri Conference, members voted to approve a request from Ivy Chapel to become a participating congregation in the United Church of Christ!

In connection with our 50th anniversary year, we will celebrate with a special worship at Ivy Chapel, starting at 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 18, 2014.

Watch for more details on our 50th anniversary celebrations.

And… if you have a memory of Ivy Chapel you’d like to share with us, please send us an email, and we’ll use it as part of our celebration.

Kids, Cars and Candy! Trunk or Treat Oct. 27

 What is Trunk or Treat?  A fun, safe, fellowship event to celebrate Halloween!

How it works:  Ivy Chapel UCC members who wish to provide treats for our young trick-or-treaters come to church and park in the parking lot.  We encourage everyone to dress in costume and to decorate your trunk or vehicle.  Adults stay by their cars, while the children trick or treat their way around the parking lot.

Pumpkin Decorating:  Bring your own little pumpkin –
we’ll provide the paint and stickers.

Bring a side dish to share if you’d like!

 Kids love candy at Halloween but you’re welcome to hand out other items, too -such as pencils, stickers, or even homemade goodies!!

While we’re enjoying our treats, let’s share with others.
Bring a jar of peanut butter or a few cans of food!

Or fill our cauldron with donations for Joint Neighborhood Ministries.
